HathiTrust is a large digital library bringing together materials from sources including Google Books, the Internet Archive, libraries at HathiTrust partner institutions, and other commercial digitization projects. Search more than 11 million volumes with more than a third of these available for full text access and download (primarily books and journals published before 1923 and U.S. Government publications).
University of Texas students, faculty, and staff can download materials in the public domain in addition to conducting full text searches of all materials in the HathiTrust Catalog. UT Official Retirees and UT Extension Students are excluded from this access because of HathiTrust's strict definitions and added layer of authentication

What’s Changing and When?
Beginning Tuesday April 13, the “only authenticated users can join meetings” setting in the central UT Austin Zoom tenant will be unlocked and meeting hosts will have the ability to choose a security setting that best fits their use case. This change was made possible by a recent Zoom enhancement adding a new setting that forces meeting hosts to choose at least one of the following options to secure their meeting:
This change has been a frequent request by faculty and staff who regularly meet with individuals not associated with UT Austin. Meeting hosts will now have the ability to remove the “require authentication to join” setting, but then must choose to use the waiting room and/or passcode option before creating the meeting.
Action Required
No action is required. All meetings will continue to be secured by the authentication requirement unless disabled. Settings can be changed on a meeting-by-meeting basis or within the Zoom portal (https://utexas.zoom.us).
