I just want to share this resource in case people didn’t know it. It describes itself as the world’s largest open-source open-data library. And Includes Sci-Hub, Library Genesis, Z-Library, and more.

I have a copy of an out of print book that is not available to purchase anymore. No digital versions of the book exist though copyright might still apply to it since it is not very old. I wish to scan and host it somewhere like this so it comes in useful to someone, someday. How do I go about donating a scanned copy of the book to a library like this? Last time i scanned a rare comic and put it on my blog, it ended up getting copied by sites that host comics and they put their own watermark and ads on each page which made me sad. Doubly so when my blog got nuked and the original scan is not available online anymore. I don’t want that to happen again.

What I do is upload to Library Genesis. You can do it anonymously by logging in with “guest” (I think) as both username and password

Yeah I uploaded a textbook before to Sci-Hub and lib genesis. Feels good when I can’t find a textbook but can get it uploaded to give back to the community.

Anna’s Archive is great. Finding this was a silver lining to the Zlib shutdown. I have it installed to the home screen on my android eink reader and its pretty seamless.

Zlib shutting down was like the modern equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria, but for piracy.
