Yes, I grant Iowa State University SDR staff permission to remove the binding from my textbook listed above.I understand that my text book will be returned to me rebound as a fully functional spiral bound textbook. Please note that highlighted text, formulas, and/or pictures will not properly be read by the software.
No, I do not grant Iowa State University SDR staff permission to remove the binding of my textbook listed above for the purpose of creating electronic text.

SDR will initially attempt to obtain a copy of the textbooks from the publisher, department and/or instructor. Please note that highlighted text, formulas, and/or pictures will not properly be read by the software. However, obtaining a usable and/or timely form of electronic text from the publisher may take 6-10 weeks.

Thank you for providing this information. Have a great day.
