Log into HathiTrust with your university account.
Search for the in-copyright book you are interested in reading. The access link in the search results will say “Temporary Access” if you are able to access the book through the Emergency Temporary Access Service.
Similarly, if you navigate to the detailed record, the access link under the “Viewability” section will say “Temporary access.”
Click on the temporary access link. You will see an information bar on the next screen that contains the text, "Access to this work is provided through the Emergency Temporary Access Service." A "Check Out" button will also appear within the information banner.
Click on the “Check Out” button to read the book.
The window will reload with the full content of the book, and there will be a message in the left sidebar letting you know that the book is checked out for one hour. The book will be available to you for one hour at minimum. It may automatically renew at the end of that hour if you are still actively reading the book at that time.
You may also choose to click on the “Return Early” button if you no longer need the book. This will free up the book to be checked out by another person at your institution.
