Cara Download Ebook Di Worldcat
As a follow-up to my prior guide on how to use Sci-hub to download academic papers for free, here’s a simple guide to use Library Gensis aka. Libgen.
Library Genesis is another guerilla open access project, also run by people from the Russia-sphere. It’s relatively easy to use.
Karena ebook nilainya lebih tinggi dibandingkan konten biasa, proses pembuatannya juga termasuk yang paling mudah. Selain itu, dari 16 lead magnet tadi 4 di antaranya dalam format PDF. Maka, kalau anda sudah bisa membuat ebook, anda juga akan langsung bisa membuat 3 jenis lead magnet lainnya. Alat dan bahan yang anda butuhkan.
1. Go to the Libgen website
There’s a few URLs, but these work as of writing:
- http://gen.lib.rus.ec/
- http://93.174.95.27/
If it’s blocked, use one of the many open proxies. For instance, hide.me works for this (I used the USA exit). If the domain is taken down, find a new one via Wikipedia.
2. Search for some book you want
Enter the title (and maybe author name) of some book you want. Here we pretend we want to read Lee Jussim’s great book on social psychology:
- Jussim, L. (2012). Social perception and social reality: Why accuracy dominates bias and self-fulfilling prophecy. OUP USA.
So, we search for it:
Click “Search”, then we get:
The two rows means that there are two different versions uploaded to the site. Usually, they will differ in some obvious and relevant way, but not always (the site operators don’t upload the content, it’s user driven). In this case, we see that one is an EPUB and another is a PDF. PDF is a paper look-a-like format, which has its upsides and downsides. Generally, for electronic use (computer, tablet, phone), you will want EPUB or similar (MOBI etc.).
Still revered as an icon decades after her death, 'the Sparrow' served as a touchstone for virtually every chansonnier, male or female, who followed her. 
The site search is a kind of meta-search engine that searches a few sites that actually hosts the books. Hence, we see a number of (download) mirrors, which may not be complete (mirror 5 is missing for the 2nd row). If we click the EPUB version (click the title), we see:
So, there’s a cover photo and a description. The (direct) download links are the ones in the red circle (drawn by me). Generally speaking, the first one (gen.lib.rus.ec) is the most robust (i.e. usually works), but it is slow so you may not want to use it if the ebook is large. The other ones are faster but don’t always have the book you want (some of them comply with DMCA requests).
If we click the first (gen.lib.rus.ec), we see an intermediate page:
Just click GET in the top and the download pop-up appears.
If we use the second, the intermediate page is different, but we do the same i.e. click the big “GET” link:
If we click the third, we click “OPEN DOWNLOAD” and then “GET” on the next page (not shown, similar to above).
If we click the fourth, we click “See details & download (EPUB)”:
And then “download” on the next page:

| Go to the Open Library website, and select 'Sign Up' in the upper right corner. | Enter in your personal information to create an Open Library account, and click 'Sign Up.' |
Check your email for a confirmation of your Open Library account, and click the link in the email. Griffin powermate 2.0. | The link will automatically sign you into Open Library, verifying your creation of an account. |
Now that you've created an account, you can also go directly to Open Library at any time and log in to your account. | Now you can browse or search for book titles or topics that you would like to read. Note that you can check the 'Show only eBooks' box to limit your search to books that you are able to download - otherwise you will get search results with lots of books that you won't be able to download. |
In your search results, take note of the icons that appear next to the books' titles. Some titles will say 'Borrow,' meaning that you can download that eBook; some will say 'Read' which means they are available to read in browser only. Titles marked 'DAISY' are only available to visually-impaired users with a special access key available from the Library of Congress' NLS program. | When you find a title you want to download, click 'Borrow' or 'Read.' You will then get to select which option you prefer - reading online, downloading the PDF, or downloading the ePub version of the book. For this demo, we chose 'Download ePub.' PDFs are like a picture of the book page; ePubs let you change the text size and color, make annotations, and sometimes have scanning errors. |
The next screen will allow you to choose which eReader app the downloaded file opens in, such as Overdrive Media Console or Bluefire. For this demo, we chose 'Overdrive.' | Overdrive Media Console opens automatically, and you will either sign in with your existing Adobe ID, or click 'Get a free Adobe ID' at the bottom to create a (free) Adobe ID. |
| Now that you've signed in, you are ready to read! | You can now get to your eBook anytime by looking on your Bookshelf in Overdrive Media Console (or another e-Reader app).
