What does the name mean?

Hathi (pronounced hah-tee) is the Hindi word for elephant, an animal  highly regarded for its memory, wisdom, and strength. Trust is a core  value of research libraries and one of their greatest assets. In  combination, the words convey the key benefits researchers can expect  from a first-of-its-kind shared digital repository.
