The HathiTrust Research Centre (HTRC) allows educational and non-profit institutions use of the Digital Library for the purpose of data analysis. HTRC has developed tools that assist with text-based and data-driven research. 

• Create your own workset or use the HTRC research datasets to perform analysis. 
• Run algorithms and create data capsules for a secure computing environment to analyse the content from HathiTrust Digital Library.

Our digital contribution to the Digital Library

As a member of HathiTrust the Library has contributed to the collection various titles that provide a rich history of the University including University of Queensland Calendars, UQ Gazettes and Galmahra the magazine of the University of Queensland. We have also shared some of our unique or rare books from the Fryer Library.

Shared Print Program

We collaborate with other libraries and institutions on the Shared Print Program. This program is great for UQ staff and students, as you have access to more digitised materials from other libraries. Other benefits of this program include:

• Members sharing the management of a large print collection
• Ensuring security of both print and digital copies by some members of HathiTrust retaining print copies of digitised materials

Currently, we hold and manage 10,301 print holdings that are part of the Shared Print Program.
