How do online libraries that provide free access distinguish themselves from each other?
Is the PDF that one downloads from aaaaarg different from a PDF that one downloads from Monoskop? Here I am looking at what the possible similarities and differences are between four resources: aaaaarg, Monoskop, Public Library and textz.com.
| aaaaarg.fail | Monoskop | Public Library | textz.com |
