What Am I Linking To?

HathiTrust contains millions of digital books, journals, government documents, and other volumes, all digitized from research libraries.  The collection includes both public domain and in-copyright works across a full range of subjects.   Over half of the content is in English, but hundreds of languages are represented, including large amounts of material in German, French, Chinese, Russian and Spanish.  Although all items are discoverable, viewability depends on the rights status of the individual item.  Detailed statistics on subjects and languages represented in HathiTrust may be found at: https://www.hathitrust.org/visualizations_callnumbers.
