"Just societies depend upon research and scholarship based upon open inquiry and access to trusted knowledge. The threat to IMLS and NEH is a threat to the creation and preservation of this knowledge." Mike Furlough, Executive Director, HathiTrust

While we don't depend on government grants, support from IMLS and NEH has been instrumental in expanding our initiatives in copyright evaluation and text analysis. More details can be found at buff.ly/ALOqs6T

The Week-end book The Week-end book

If you lack weekend plans, consult this 1924 gem - perhaps stage a play in which "most of us are smoking" or a poetry reading of Great, Hate, or State poems with a round of Mr. Sutton's Gin-Blind (to be drunk with discretion). Cheers!

The HathiTrust team bid farewell to #ACRL2025 today. #Trusty avoided a vacuum-packed return trip. We'll cherish the great conversations but will miss seeing our community in person. Share your #Trusty pics to relive the fun!

TGIF at #ACRL2025! We're hearing how crucial emergency access (ETAS) was for your library during the pandemic. Visit us to learn about our new resource-sharing service to enhance lawful access. btw #Trusty prefers black coffee. 💥

What an amazing day at #ACRL2025! #Trusty has come a long way from being vacuum-packed. Stop by tomorrow, HathiTrust community! We love hearing how HathiTrust fuels your library and your campus. #digitallibraries

Meet Trusty, HathiTrust's unofficial muse since before the pandemic. Remember ETAS/emergency access? Trusty was there and remains as cuddly and steadfast as ever. Pic from the 2019 member meeting. Come see Trusty at #ACRL2025 #digitallibraries

Trusty's on their way to ACRL and so are we! (Can we get more leg room?!)
Come see us at booth #836! #ACRL2025 #digitallibraries
