Following the decision in Hachette v. Internet Archive, publishing corporations have imposed limits on the ability of readers to borrow books from the Internet Archive library. Many books are now limited to those who claim to have a print disability. Any Internet Archive account can receive print-disabled permissions upon request.
To enable print-disabled eligibility on your Internet Archive account, complete the form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSBbT17HSQywTm-fQawOK7G4dN-QPbDWNstdfvysoKTXCjKA/viewform.
After you submit the form, it will be processed within a few days and you will be able to access the full Internet Archive library.
Also note that the search function is available for books if you do not have print disability access, which allows you to view excerpts containing words in the search.
