Description
Library Genesis, or LibGen, is a search engine for scientific articles and books from every possible source to allow sharing knowledge in any field. The goal of the Meta-Library is to identify information sources online and locate shared study sources. LibGen is part of an idea where the internet should a tool for access to previously inaccessible content, essentially calling for the transformation of copyright culture. LibGen posits piracy is a consequence of legal restrictions that are necessarily avoided in order to gain access to information. In 2015, the website became involved in a legal dispute when Elsevier accused it of providing access to copyright material. In order to continue its activities and avoid closing down, the site changes its domain periodically.
Sources include Google Books, Open Library, WorldCat and the Online Books page, with a wide array of encyclopedias, universally accepted references on general topics. The collection does not include encyclopedias on specific topics or in local languages, since digital versions are either hard to find or nonexistent. The general list of available encyclopedias includes: the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics, Encyclopedia of Mathematics, Encyclopedia of World History, International Encyclopedia of Human Geography, Encyclopedia of World Cultures, International Encyclopedia of Communication, among others. In addition to the encyclopedias, LibGen also links to a series of online dictionaries, such as: WordNet, OneLook, Linguist List’s links, AlphaDictionary, Freelang or Digital Dictionaries of South Asia, just to name a few. The website also links to other sites where files and documents are available for download, such as Scribd, DocStoc, Google Docs and WePapers.
LibGen is a project of Russian origin with the purpose of building the largest collection of fiction and nonfiction titles, magazines, texts, comic books and even paintings, including the Gigapedia collection. The website provides access to public domain sources, such as the Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, Perseus Digital Library, TITUS, DBNL, several search engines and torrents.
