Everyone can view books and journals, docs in public domain and read online. Single pages can be downloaded. In fact, anyone could download multiple pages from a public domain volume – just one page at a time. The one main difference for users from a HathiTrust partner library is that they can download entire volumes of public domain materials. Other difference is that users from HT partners can save sets of records. Can do this even if not from a partner library although very very difficult.---------NOW LET’S GO INTO HATHITRUSTCLICK ON ICON TO GO TO HT CATALOGAU: United statesAU: CommerceKW: LumberProblems of the softwood lumber industry : hearings before the Committee on Commerce, United States Senate, Eighty-seventh Congress, second session, on impact of lumber imports...by United States.
