Procedure for Eligible Patrons
- The first step is to login. To do this, go to the HathiTrust web page at http://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/eres?id=736.
- On the upper right of the screen is a button labeled “LOG IN”. Click “LOG IN”.
- Choose Vanderbilt University as your partner institution, and click “Continue”.
- Login using your VUnetID and password.
- Once you identify a volume or volumes that are not fully available/accessible (show a “Limited (search-only)” link), you may send a request to access the volume(s) to your Proxy via Interlibrary Loan.
- Click on the “Catalog Record” link. In the catalog record, go to “Locate a Print Version” and click “Find in a Library”.
- That opens a new window or tab to a WorldCat record for the volume.
- Go down the record page until you reach the section that starts with “You are connected to the VANDERBILT UNIV LIBR network”.
- Of the options listed, choose “Borrow from another library”.
- Log into the ILL system, if you are not already logged into the ILL system, to reach the pre-populated request form.
- If this is not your first ILL request, go to the bottom of the pre-populated request form and click “Submit Request”.
- If this is your first request, you will need to complete the registration information (your name, email, etc.).
- You will then be taken to the pre-populated request form where you will enter “Print Accessibility Services” in the “Any other information to help us find the item” box. Then click submit.
- If this is your first request, the Proxy will contact Vanderbilt’s EAD office to verify your eligibility and record this information for future requests.
- The Proxy will retrieve the accessible PDF from HathiTrust. We will post it in your Interlibrary Loan account and email you when it is available.
- NOTE: Accessing your InterLibrary Loan item does not currently work properly with the Safari browser. If you are using a Mac computer, use the Chrome browser to access your HathiTrust and other ILL items.
