These titles are the first we’ve bought on a new e-book platform called dawsonera. You can access them by logging in to dawsonera via the University Portal (from off campus, you’ll need to log in to the Portal using your network\accountID and password)…

…or by searching the library catalogue for the title of the book, then limiting the results so that only e-books are displayed.

In the list of e-book search results, click on the title of the book you want to read, then click on the link to ‘Log in to ebook here’.

Then, in the new Athens login window which opens, log in by clicking on the link marked ‘Go to the University of Lincoln login page”. (From off campus, at this point you’ll need to log in using your network\accountID and password.)

You should then be taken into the dawsonera e-book record screen. You’ll see some information about the book, plus buttons which allow you to read the e-book online, and – for the first time with e-books at the University of Lincoln – download a time-limited PDF to read offline.
