Millions of research papers, textbooks, and scientific articles available for free download.
Last updated:
BookSC.org is a widely-used shadow library that provides free access to over 4 million scientific articles, academic textbooks, conference papers, and research documents in PDF and DJVU formats. Originally part of the BookFi network, the site emerged as a go-to resource for students, researchers, and academics seeking hard-to-find scholarly literature without paywalls. Its simple, Google-like search interface and massive database have made it one of the most visited open-access repositories on the web.
The platform aggregates content from various sources, including publisher archives, university repositories, and user uploads, covering disciplines from physics and mathematics to medicine and engineering. Despite frequent domain changes and intermittent downtime due to legal pressure, BookSC mirrors and proxy sites continue to serve millions of downloads monthly.
