# Libgen Desktop

*Libgen Desktop* is a Windows application for browsing a local copy of LibGen catalog. The main (non-fiction), fiction and scientific articles (scimag) LibGen collections are supported.

The application uses embedded SQLite database engine to store and retrieve catalog data. Current LibGen catalog can be imported in the form of SQL dump. Faster incremental catalog updates for the main collection using JSON <abbr title="Application Programming Interface">API</abbr> are supported.
You can search by title/authors/series/publisher or ISBN or DOI in case of scientific articles. Each search query is opened in a separate tab to work with multiple queries at a time. There is an export feature to save search results into a XLSX (MS Excel) or CSV file.

To download the content you can open a download link in a Web browser or use an internal download manager. Your local file collection can be scanned to link matching files to the catalog for easier access.

**System requirements:^^ Windows Vista SP2 or later, .NET Framework 4.5 or higher (.NET Framework 4.5 is included in Windows 8 and later by default).

**Interface languages:** Chinese (Simplified), English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
