Enhanced access to digital versions of books in the HathiTrust repository (both those that are publicly accessible and those that are in copyright) is available to University of Florida students, faculty and staff whose disabilities do not allow them to use printed books. Patrons that are registered with the University of Florida Disability Resource Center may make requests for materials via an online form. Once the library staff has verified that the patron is registered with the Disability Resource Center, they will contact HathiTrust, obtain the material, and email the file to the patron.

Patrons may use THIS LINK to access the online form for requesting materials from HathiTrust.
