HathiTrust does not only have old stuff, they have the complete Google 
scans done from umich and other cooperating institutions.

They just won't show you any text from in-copyright materials, for both 
copyright and Google contractual reasons.

There are some cases where they'll give access to in-copyright full 
text, I believe for disabled students at HT member institutions for 
instance, but I'm not sure of that.
