About OpenShelf

OpenShelf is a platform dedicated to making education more accessible by facilitating the sharing of textbooks and course materials among university students.

Our Mission

Textbooks are expensive. We believe that no student should fall behind because they cannot afford the required reading materials. By connecting students who have finished their courses with those just starting, we create a sustainable cycle of sharing.
