We are making arrangements to transfer access to our Dawsonera e-books to other platforms and will update Explore when this is done. Any notes that you may have made on Dawsonera e-books will not be transferred and we would therefore advise you to export any notes you have made before 31st July. You will need to do this title by title, opening the e-book in read online mode, going to the notes tab and clicking export.
