Z-Library stands
as a pivotal resource, granting students and educational institutions free
entry to an impressive repository of over 14 million academic and scientific
digital resources. Our commitment extends further with a network of over 150
distribution points, ensuring access to physical literature in 42 countries.
In our pursuit of understanding how educational institutions
engage with Z-Library, we dove into the data sourced from our international
community. The results are in, and we're thrilled to present this illuminating
report on Z-Library's impact in the education sector!
Getting to Know the Z-Library Community: How We Collected and Analyzed Data
Before diving into statistics, let us first discuss how we
gathered data about the Z-Library. We will also explain how we categorized
university users.
When collecting and analyzing our data, we determined where
our users were from through the domain zones where our users’ email addresses
were located. If, for example, a user’s email says “*@utoronto.ca,” we can
conclude that the user is either an employee or a student of the University of
Toronto.
This data collection method is quite reliable, and we are
confident in the statistics
gathered. Utilizing this method, we discovered that our
platform is being used by over 30,000 educational institutions worldwide.
These institutions span all academic levels - universities, colleges, and
schools.
We have a notably large number of users from China. In fact,
the number was so great that we decided to combine the largest universities
from this country into one line, in the graph below.
It should be noted that the values and graphs above are
conservative estimates since not all who use our service register with their
university email addresses. Still, these estimates are reliably accurate and
provide a valuable glimpse into how Z-Library is helping scholars and
institutions worldwide.
Who Makes Up Our Global Community?
We are very pleased to announce that Z-Library is helping
over 600,000 students and teachers worldwide. These statistics paint

Our global reach is not limited to these countries! View the
graph below to see a complete list of countries and note how many users rely on
Z-Library for their resource needs. (Due to a high concentration of users
located in Taiwan, we have highlighted Taiwan for the purposes of this report.
There are no political reasons involved in us doing so.)
What is Next For The Z-Library Community?
At Z-Library, we care about providing and other
resources for students, teachers, and institutions all over the world. That is
why seeing the growth of the Z-Library community is an exciting and encouraging
development.
So, what is next for the Z-Library community? We have
established the first physical libraries, or “Z-Points,” in 42 countries. We
are eagerly looking forward to establishing our physical libraries in even more
locations worldwide.
Additionally, we have introduced many features for our
members in recent months. For example, users can exchange physical books with
other members. Users will soon be able to send books by mail to be borrowed by
other members.
Why are these developments so exciting? We desire to make
literature accessible to all who wish to learn, and we thank you, the Z-Library
community, for your continued support of this goal!
