University of Kentucky (UK) Libraries has joined HathiTrust, a growing, global partnership with more than 145 major research institutions and libraries. The new partnership will bolster the accessibility of resources currently available to UK faculty, staff and students. UK is the first institution in Kentucky to join HathiTrust.
Since launching in 2008, HathiTrust partner institutions and libraries have contributed more than 16.8 million volumes to the digital library. Working collaboratively through member institutions, the organisation aims to transform research libraries to serve the wider scholarly enterprise, address large scale challenges, and manage programs that preserve and expand access to the scholarly and cultural record.
HathiTrust contributes to research, scholarship and the common good by collaboratively collecting, organising, preserving, communicating and sharing the record of human knowledge. HathiTrust is funded by member libraries and governed by members of the libraries through its board of governors.
UK Libraries consists of nine major facilities on UK's campus. As the premier research library in the Commonwealth, UK Libraries provides ever-expanding access to quality information resources, teaching and learning programs and services, and excellent learning spaces.
