Dawsonera, who supply some of Heriot-Watt’s eBooks, are having problems with their website. This means that many of their eBooks are currently unavailable. Dawsonera are working on this problem, and are trying to restore access to the most heavily used eBooks, but access problems are likely to continue over this weekend (21/22 June).
You can check the @Dawsonera twitter feed for updates on their progress at restoring access to the eBooks. Some of these eBooks might be available on paper in Heriot-Watt libraries: check the library catalogue to find out if the book you need is available on paper at your local library (Dubai campus staff/students should check the Dubai catalogue). Summer opening hours for each of the library branches can be found on our website.
