HathiTrust’s digital collection contains approximately 30 percent of the Stanford Libraries book collection. HathiTrust ETAS allows Stanford students, faculty and staff to obtain lawful online access to books, or other copyrighted material, available through HathiTrust that are also in Stanford Libraries collection. While Stanford courses are conducted online, individuals with a SUNet ID have expanded access to digital materials held by HathiTrust through HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS). Students, faculty, and staff can request Stanford Libraries purchase e-content if the item is not otherwise available in SearchWorks or HathiTrust by using the new digital item request service (you'll need to sign into Google with your SU email address to access the form).

Until access to the physical collections becomes possible, the Libraries will prioritize spending on e-books and other e-materials. Currently, of the 12 million items in the Libraries’ total collection, just over 3 million are e-books. To support the continuation of research, teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, Stanford Libraries has expanded services for accessing electronic resources while physical access to its collection is closed.
