As a member of HathiTrust, Laurentian offers temporary online access to over 120,000 in-copyright books from our collection.

  • If a book is temporarily available through HathiTrust, you cannot request it for curbside pickup. If you do request a book available through HathiTrust, don’t worry, we’ll let you know!
  • The check out period is one hour but automatically renews if you remain active, unless someone else is trying to access it.
  • You cannot download a book.
