Member Community

The primary community of HathiTrust is comprised of the members (faculty, students or users) of the institutions represented by the libraries participating in HathiTrust. By extension, meeting the needs of this community will ensure that HathiTrust meets the needs of research libraries and their institutions more generally. We believe that, in collecting, organizing, preserving, communicating and sharing these records of human knowledge to our primary community, we will also be meeting many needs of the larger public.
