What is Isuu?
Issuu is a free service that allows users to upload PDF, Word, Excel, and
Powerpoint files to create "paperless" online magazines. Page turning and zoom
options are all built into the technology of Issuu and are automatically activated
when the document is published. The online magazines you create can be embedded
in blogs, wikis or websites. Printing sharing, embeding or downloading pages from
your magazine is quick and easy.
Issuu is an online service that allows for realistic and customizable viewing of
digitally uploaded material, such as portfolios, books, magazine issues, newspapers,
and other print media. It integrates with social networking sites to promote
uploaded material. While most of the documents are meant to be viewed online,
some can be downloaded and saved as well. Uploaded print material is viewed
through a web browser and is made to look like a printed publication with an
animated page flip option. Issuu released Smart Look, which allows other websites
to convert their hosted documents to digital Issuu editions, so readers do not have to
download the documents to read them.
Issuu is the leading digital publishing platform. Millions of people have uploaded their
best publications to create beautiful digital editions.

will appear onvirtual Shelves and you will be able to organise and move your
documents around on the different shelves.
The menu on the left hand side of the screen will help you to organise your work,
and your friends' work, in a way that is easily recognisable for you. This is
because Issuu, being a document repository and social networking site, allows
you to add "friends", join groups and follow other people's updated publications.
There is also a handy internal mail which you can use to communicate with your
Issuu friends.
From your library, you can also grab the relevant links and embed codes in order
to be able to embed the document into a website. In order to do this, follow these
simple instructions:
1. From your Home Page, click on My Library.
2. Choose from your shelves the document you would like to work with.
