Dawson Era e-book platform
10/07/2020
Due to its parent company being placed in administration, the Dawson Era e-book platform will soon be switched off. Owing to the nature of this process nobody knows exactly when access will end, but we believe it will on or around 1st August. We are currently transferring our owned e-books from Dawson Era to the Askews & Holts VLeBooks platform, so we do not anticipate any significant loss of content.
However, we have been warned that, for technical reasons, items saved in the “My Account” area of Dawson Era probably cannot be transferred. We therefore recommend that, if you have any notes, comments, or searches saved in Dawson Era that you wish to keep, you should retrieve them as soon as possible.
For more information, please see https://faqs.aber.ac.uk/index.php?id=1225 or contact librarians@aber.ac.uk
