Lyryx products are driven by subject matter experts: instructors with lengthy experience in both educational content and online homework. An in-house team of developers and project leaders blend their technical skills with this insight into the subject to produce the high quality final products.

Lyryx understands that education is a 7 days/week business. For this reason, we have a dedicated group of support staff available every day of the year! They are there to make sure technology is not in the way of learning, and that both instructors and students have the assistance they need throughout their course.

OpenStax believes that everyone has something to learn, and everyone has something to teach.

Frustrated by the limitations of traditional textbooks and courses, Dr. Richard Baraniuk founded OpenStax (then Connexions) in 1999 at Rice University to provide authors and learners with an open space where they can share and freely adapt educational materials such as courses, books, and reports.

Today, OpenStax CNX is a dynamic non-profit digital ecosystem serving millions of users per month in the delivery of educational content to improve learning outcomes.

There are tens of thousands of learning objects, called pages, that are organized into thousands of textbook-style books in a host of disciplines, all easily accessible online and downloadable to almost any device, anywhere, anytime.

Open textbooks are textbooks that have been funded, published, and licensed to be freely used, adapted, and distributed. These books have been reviewed by faculty from a variety of colleges and universities to assess their quality. These books can be downloaded for no cost, or printed at low cost. All textbooks are either used at multiple higher education institutions; or affiliated with an institution, scholarly society, or professional organization. The library currently includes 714 textbooks, with more being added all the time.

The Open Textbook Library is supported by the Center for Open Education and the Open Textbook Network.


Paperity is the first multi-disciplinary aggregator of Open Access journals and papers, "gold" and "hybrid". It:

  • gives readers easy and unconstrained access to thousands of journals from hundreds of disciplines, in one central location;
  • helps authors reach their target audience, disseminate discoveries more effectively and maximize research impact;
  • raises exposure of journals, boosts their readership and encourages new manuscript submissions.
