The Keio University Media Center officially joined HathiTrust in February 2022. HathiTrust is a massive digital library built and operated primarily by university libraries in the United States, based at the University of Michigan. Keio University is the first member from Asia. This partnership is expected to bring the following benefits:

  • Expand the potential for permanent and global use of the approximately 90,000 volumes from the Mita Media Center (Keio University Library) collection registered with HathiTrust in 2014, contributing to Japanese studies both in Japan and abroad.

  • Become a more useful resource for research and education at Keio University by utilizing the enhanced features for members of affiliated institutions (such as the full-volume download function).
