Dear Z-Library Community, today we are glad to share some great news with you 😌

Downloads for Unregistered Users

After 2 years, we have restored the ability for guests to download 5 books. Please note that the download limits are based on your IP address. It's common for internet providers to use shared IPs for multiple devices, so the download limit may also be shared between those devices. If this is the case, the download limit may already have been spent for the IP address you're using

We'd like to point out that this function not only allows everyone to download books without registering or logging in, but also helps to distinguish our website from scam sites

Improved search engine

Our development team works hard every day to improve the use of the website, and today we'd like to speak about the updates on search engine:

  • By clicking on the author's name on a search result's page, you can find other books by the same author. The improvement is that the search by author with initials now works more accurately;
  • From now on, you can search for books+extension without setting a filter, for example, Computer Science pdf. Please note that you can only use one format;
  • The possibility of searching by using several fields. The fields that can be recognized are title, author and publisher. For example, title:fashion author:tierney;
  • Words can be excluded from a search query by adding a minus sign before the words, for example: c++ -beginner -crash -guide -Stroustrup. Moreover, the words can be excluded from all fields: "Stroustrup" is an author, so in the search results there will be only books where he is not mentioned as the author.

In conclusion, we'd like to add a few words about the creator of the Flibusta project, Stiver, which passed away through euthanasia On October 20, 2024, after a month of being treated for glioblastoma, which was unfortunately not curable.

We would like to honor the memory of Stiver, who shared the same goal of providing free access to knowledge. His memory will live on in our hearts as a symbol of the endless possibilities of the written word, a world that is truly open to all. We must continue his work of spreading knowledge and culture, and may his good deeds inspire us all. Rest in peace, Stiver!

Bad libraries build collections, good libraries build services, great libraries build communities
