Dear Z-Librarians,

As a tradition, we are holding our Spring Fundraising Campaign! Your enthusiastic support allows us to work even more diligently. Every contribution you make is not just money for us, but also a sign of your belief in our project! We want to remind you that any donation made from March 15th till April 1st will allow you to get unlimited downloads for 31 days.

Now, we'd like to tell you about some significant changes we've made to the website in recent months. These updates are designed to improve your experience on the platform.

Enhanced Search Capabilities

Previously, finding specific articles could be cumbersome. To improve this, we now made it possible for you to search for articles through curated booklists and your uploaded content. This streamlined approach makes it easier to discover related literature relevant to your needs.

My Library: A Unified Solution for Your Reading Needs

Previously, users had multiple tools for managing their reading material, including bookmarks, favorites with tags, and a download history. This made it difficult for users to keep track of their books and articles, so we've created a new section called "My Library" to make it easier. Now, users can find and organize all their favorite reading material in one place.

Now, instead of searching through various bookmarks, you can create personalized reading lists and find the content you need quickly and easily. This change not only saves you time, but also helps you stay on track with your research or reading goals. We are currently in the process of transferring all features to My Library, and we appreciate your patience during this transition.

Aurora Glass Mode (beta): as a way to say Thank you!

To show our gratitude to all our Premium users who support us with their donations, which help us continue to grow, we are excited to present you with a few new modes. We called it «Glass Mode». This new feature will enhance your experience on the website by making it more comfortable for you.

We want to let you know that on some devices, these new modes might work slowly. If you experience any issues, please leave a comment below. We would appreciate it a lot.

Search by DOI

Recently, we've added an important feature: the ability to search for articles using Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). This feature was previously disabled during the integration of books and articles, but now it's working.

We want to point out that during the integration process, we've lost some functionality, such as the view of journals. However, we are actively searching for ways to restore this function. Keep checking back for updates on this matter!

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