Our goal is to make knowledge free and accessible to everyone in the world. We work to accomplish this by developing and distributing free and open source text books to the world.
The books are generally based upon an original version written by a professor. We continuously improve the content of the books. Anyone can submit a suggestion or change to the text. The suggestion is reviewed by a panel of professionals and a decision is reached to accept, accept with changes, or reject the suggestion.
Absolutly! We hope all classes will oneday use an opensource textbook. The more people that use the books, the better they will become. We are also working to develop teaching materials for instructors.
All books are completely free to download and use. Libraried.com makes some money from advertisements within the books. These funds allow us to run a sustainable business and continue to bring free knowledge to the world.
