"The HathiTrust Digital Library is raising the bar for collaboration among research libraries, two years after its launch.

Containing more than 7 million volumes from member library collections, HathiTrust is now jointly owned and operated by 52 institutions from the United States and Europe, all focused on a common goal: to build an extraordinary digital library that preserves and provides access to the cultural record.

The new members to HathiTrust include the Library of Congress, Stanford University, Arizona State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and University of Madrid, HathiTrust's first international partner."
