"PhysWiki is one of seven integral components of the STEMWiki Dynamic Textbook Project (DTP), a multi-institutional collaborative venture to develop the next generation of open-access textbooks to improve STEM education (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) at all levels of higher learning. The central aim of the DTP is to develop and disseminate free, virtual, customizable textbooks that will substitute for current, commercial paper texts"

"The ChemWiki project is a collaborative approach toward chemistry education where an Open Access textbook environment is constantly being written and re-written partly by students and partly by faculty members resulting in a free Chemistry textbook to supplement conventional paper-based books. Success of the project will be gauged by the number of students who consult the ChemWiki and the number of Chemistry courses that eventually adopt the ChemWiki as the sole textbook for class needs."

"On-Line Physics Textbooks - The Light & Matter Series [Free Physics Textbooks] Dr. Ben Crowell teaches physics and astronomy at Fullerton College in Southern California. He has published a series of physics Textbooks under the Creative Commons License. "

"K-12math.info is a bibliographic information system used by elementary and secondary school mathematics material developers, teacher trainers, resource professionals and home schooling parents. K-12math.info uses a list of 1,000 of the most common terms that appear in elementary and secondary school student editions of mathematics textbooks. It tracks which textbook contain which terms, on what page (for OER materials a link to where the term can be found), for what grade level, and how the term is being used. Information has been collected since the early 1970's to the present Open Education Resource (OER) textbooks series. And displayed in a spreadsheet format. "
