Another university has joined forces with HathiTrust, and the shared digital repository that was co-founded by the CIC continues to gain momentum.

The Utah Statesman, the student newspaper of Utah State University, that Utah State had signed an agreement to join the HathiTrust.

"HathiTrust, a self-described "bold idea with big plans" was founded by the Committee on Institutional Cooperation with the stated goal of establishing a repository for universities to archive and share their digitized collections," wrote the paper.

HathiTrust now has more than 30 members and recently passed 7 million volumes in its collection.

The article quotes Betty Rozum, associate dean for technical services, as saying: "This is a wonderful step for Utah State.  It will help students further their research and help shape the future of scholarly communication."
