Dawsonera unplanned outage

Our Dawsonera e-books are currently experiencing intermittent connection issues.  If you experience connection issues that result in a ‘page failure’ then refreshing the page or waiting a few seconds and trying again should resolve the issue.

We will update you once the access problems are resolved.

This issue is now resolved.
