H.W. Wilson Retrospective Literature Databases Link to Full Text Books on HathiTrust
H.W. Wilson's Essay & General Literature Retrospective, Short Story Index Retrospective, and Book Review Digest Retrospective databases now feature links to the full text of public-domain books and other materials available through the HathiTrust digital library. "Wilson's precise and granular indexing provides valuable discovery of individual stories and essays from the public domain books available through the Hathi Trust repository," said Ron Miller, H.W. Wilson director of product management. "Using Wilson's analytical indexing adds a new level of search and retrieval precision not found elsewhere." HathiTrust is an inter-institutional repository of digitized books-more than 4.6 million volumes at present, about 15 percent of which are public domain works. Founded in 2008, HathiTrust grows with the contributions of an expanding roster of partners, including the University of California Libraries, the California Digital Library, New York's Columbia University Libraries, and libraries of the Midwest-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (including Indiana University, University of Illinois, University of Iowa, University of Michigan, and Michigan State University).
