About the ISU e-Books

About the ISU e-books. Most of our e-books are provided by two different companies, so they have a certain look and feel from those companies. The search within the e-book only searches for the exact string of characters you entered. It will not retrieve other word endings, like plurals or -ing. So be aware. Also, most e-books limit how many pages you may save or download or print. This number limit is set by the publisher-vendor of the e-book, not by the ISU Library. Sometimes the limit set for a particular book is ridiculously small. If you find you need more pages beyond the page limit, let us know and we will help you get them.
