Finding NYPL-provided content in HathiTrust

Can I download a PDF?
Yes, if it’s in the public domain, AND…
you’re logged in from a partner institution, OR
it’s non-Google and non-UM digitized, OR
it’s Creative Commons licensed (even if Google digitized!)

Logging in from NYPL?
Not currently. We don’t support their authentication. Hopefully soon!
Our RECAP and MARLI partners are partner institutions.
Can create a Guest login through UMich to support everything except PDF downloads.
