These electronic books were created using Issuu. If you are unfamiliar with Issuu documents, here are some navigation tips (this may sound complicated, but once you know where the menus are it is quite easy and intuitive):

- the books are best viewed in the Fullscreen mode - when the cursor is first on the preview document, a button will appear that says "View in fullscreen" and the cursor will look like a hand - click anywhere on the small preview and the view will jump to fullscreen (this can be done on any page at any time)

- to make the page even larger than the fullscreen mode, click anywhere on the fullscreen page and it will be enlarged - a view bar at the top will allow you to control the size - a button beside the size control slider will allow you to turn the drag feature on or off

- to exit the Fullscreen view, press the "esc" escape key on the keyboard

- to flip pages (in either the preview or fullscreen mode), use the arrow bars on either side of the book ◄ ► (the arrow with a line in the top corner |◄ ►| will take you to the beginning or end of the book)

- to jump to a specific page, choose a page from the thumbnails along the bottom of the fullscreen view - ten pages are thumbnailed at one time - to jump to the next ten pages, click on the row of dots below the thumbnails or on the arrow bar at the end of the thumbnail strip ►

- another way to find a specific page is from the menu in the fullscreen view - run the cursor up to the top of the page and the menu bar will appear - between the left and right navigational arrows is an icon of four squares - click on the icon and the first 100 pages will appear - clicking on the navigation bar at the top will display the next 100 pages

- the menu bar also offers some different viewing options
