Hi Emily, I’d also be interested in this. Although my side of things is more e-learning (particularly online distance) and analytics, while doing some work with one of my previous universities (Aberystwyth) we looked at an e-book platform (Kortext) who were doing quite interesting things with searching, annotating and statistics which I thought could be really useful particularly for online & analytics. best wishes Kerr ----- Kerr Gardiner e-mail: [log in to unmask] mob: 07540537768 > On 25 Oct 2019, at 15:19, STANNARD, Emily <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Hi All, > > I’m investigating e-book platforms which allow a user to do a text-search across and within e-books. For example, I just looked at a platform but it only permitted the searching of titles, and once you ‘opened’ an e-book you could not then search the text within it. I need something that does text-searching across a non-fiction e-book collection and permits searching text within the book (a bit like Google Books really). > > Has anyone got a database they could recommend and if so how effective do you find it?
