HathiTrust which includes 80 institutional partners and the digitized collections of some of the largest libraries in the world has partnered with the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) to double the size of its public collection. Over 3.5 million our of its 11 million resources are now freely available through the DPLA. I have always held that “information wants/needs to be free” so this is a move I applaud and will watch develop.
