We recently alerted our users that one of the suppliers we use at LJMU Library, Dawson Books, recently went into administration. We have now been notified that the Dawsonera platform will be inaccessible after 31st July 2020.
Please note if you use Dawsonera eBooks and have saved notes that you wish to keep, these need to be downloaded as soon as possible and saved safely.
We are working with other suppliers to try and minimise the disruption and loss of access.

One of the suppliers we use at LJMU Library, Dawson Books, recently went into administration. This means that the Dawsonera eBook platform could be switched off at short notice and content will no longer be accessible to users.

We are hoping that the eBooks in our collection that are currently provided by Dawson will be continued to be made accessible by switching to alternative platforms. Further updates will follow.
