Keio University

The Keio University Media Centers formally joined HathiTrust in February 2022. HathiTrust is an expansive digital library based at the University of Michigan and structured and run with a focus on university libraries in the United States. Keio University is the first member to join from the Asian region. Keio's membership signals the following developments.

  • Keio will contribute to Japan studies both in Japan and overseas by broadening the possibility of persistent and global use of its approximately 90,000 volumes registered to HathiTrust in 2014.

  • The member-only features such as the ability to download a whole book will make the platform a more useful resource for research and education at Keio University.
