The base portion further includes at least one aperture located between the first and second sides for receiving and mounting to the rings of the binder. An end portion is connected to the base portion and is configured to extend beyond the pages stored in the ring-binder when the sheet lifter is engaged by the rings of the binder. The two sides are connected to the end portion and are non-parallel with respect to each other.
