Research Seminar for Mediated Culture and Information

Zakayo Kjellström is PhD student at Umeå University. Shadow libraries such as Sci-hub, Library Genesis and Z-library have built a massive collective user-base with unlimited access to literature, but are the sites connected to each other beyond users? This presentation aims to elucidate relations between shadow libraries, and deep dive in to their collections to understand the relations between the sites and their users.
