A new Israeli startup, wePapers helps students and anyone seeking academic knowledge come together to share and upload academic material, discuss what they study and mainly – find tons of quality academic documents, from lecture notes and exam to peer-reviewed articles.

wePapers is a free online web application created by two Israeli students (Hanan Weiskopf and Ehud Zamir), offers academic material from the world’s leading universities, and a knowledge-sharing platform for students and lecturers.

Similarly to the way YouTube allows users to view movies right inside their browser – wePapers lets its users read documents and presentation right within their browsers (with the option to download them to their own computers, too). wePapers is something like Docstoc, a user generated community for sharing professional and legal documents.

wePapers filters out content to provide only quality academic material. It also provides many tools designed especially for students and lecturers: the ability to filter content by institution, language, subject, etc. to help users get the specific information they’re seeking much faster.
