DawsonEra ebooks - New Platform

All our eBook content on DawsonEra has now got a new, improved interface. This interface is hopefully more intuitive, with improved searching and reading capabilities. You now have the ability to save your notes and favourite titles and to share these with other Keele users. We hope these changes will improve your experience, please feel free to share any feedback with the Library.

Dawsons have produced a very in depth user's guide on the new platform.

Dawson e-books - current lack of access

Unfortunately there is currently no access to our Dawsonera ebooks. The platform providers, Dawson, are having severe problems with their content and its delivery and they anticipate the full Dawsonera service to continue to be unavailable throughout the weekend.

They are working to restore access to the most frequently used titles in the first instance and then will progressively load additional titles based on accesses and year-to-date usage over the weekend. We'll try to keep you informed about progress as we hear from them.
