Emergency Transfer of DawsonEra eBook Content

Unfortunately, one of our main ebook suppliers, Dawsonera, has gone into administration. This means Dawsonera ebook content will have to be transferred (where possible) to a new supplier: VLeBooks.

The Dawsonera ebook platform will cease to function on 31st July and we would like to urge everyone to download any annotations or references that you want to keep as soon as possible as these are not able to be transferred across. There may also be a short period of disruption to the content while VLeBooks activate all the content on the new platform and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Unfortunately, we may not be able to carry over access to titles for NHS users and some titles will become “Keele only”. If you are an NHS user and wish to request titles to be added to the NHS collection please contact Daryl Bate, NHS Lead Librarian.

As soon as details are available we will be updating all the links to the ebooks on Keele Reading Lists and on Library Search. Please contact Campus Library if you have any queries.
