- Here are the current numbers for the repository. Late last fall we hit 13 million items, and earlier this spring we had a proud moment of achievement when we reached 5 million open volumes. The open volumes include both those that have been determined to be in the public domain and those opened with licenses by copyright holders. The public domain volumes include the 631,000 US federal gov docs. These volumes have been contributed by over 40 different institutions and primarily comes from institutions located in North America.

- UPDATED TO JLUY 2015 As I mentioned before, 5.3 million volumes in HathiTrust are available in full view. Approximately 2.5 million TITLES About 1.9 million volumes NOT OPEN EXCEPT in USA 3.4 million volumes OPEN WORLDWIDE. This slide shows the breakdown of those full view items. Some are open because they are in the public domain, either in the US alone or worldwide. US federal documents are not protected by copyright and are available in full view. Public domain determinations are often made based on the bib data, except when made as a result of CRMS. In addition, we also work with authors, publishers, and rightsholders to open titles, usually using a creative commons license.

- An early premise of HathiTrust was that by working together we could more effectively mange the print collections in libraries. That sounds contradictory, but the thinking is this: if we have 13 million volumes in the collection, with around 40% of the collection open, can we deepen our preservation commitments by linking the print and digital collection? The last time we did the analysis, we determined that ARL libraries had a median overlap of 50% with the HT collection. Our holdings data also shows that there is substantial overlap and duplication AMONG the HT membership. So HathiTrust is positioned, we think, to provide national leadership in print mongraph retention work and can catalyze new work above the regional level.
