Owrang Ganjineh Library

Owrang Online Library: A Search Engine for Legal Copies of Books Owrang Online Library, Ganjineh-ye Ketab, at owrang.org/world-book-library/, is a search engine for finding legal copies of books in established archives and collections around the world. It takes readers directly to a source where a work can be opened, read, borrowed, or obtained. The library also accepts PDF copies directly from authors and publishers who have the right to make their works available. Where information is available, the search brings together the book's bibliographic record and its translations into other languages, with a legal source for each edition. If a work remains under copyright and no free legal copy is available, this is stated clearly and the reader is directed to a legitimate option for purchase or borrowing. A title or an author's name is enough to begin. But the search is also designed for what readers only partly remember. A book can be searched by nationality, category, or year, producing related authors and titles until the right work is recognized. Incomplete or uncertain spellings are matched with the closest results in both Persian and Latin scripts. Basic search is open to everyone. Membership is required to use the online translation feature for books authorized for translation. Authors and publishers who would like to add their books to Owrang Online Library may submit a PDF copy with permission to make the work available. For more information, please contact us through the address below. Owrang can also assist authors with different stages of book production and publication, from editing and design to preparing a work for publication. A complete list of Owrang's services is available on our website. Owrang is a cultural nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
