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.
Will try it out, thanks!
Not sure about this site specifivally, but my preferred way of getting my scanned books ‘out there’ is through myanonamouse.net they are a private community of bookworms and after you host your book there other public sites will pick it up asap. A private torrenting community is the safest way to share something that MIGHT be copyrighted, let the ones that share it publicly worry about the rest.
