\"logo\"<\/a>Dawsonera<\/a> have now launched their new online reader.\u00a0 This includes a number of enhancements to improve the user experience of reading e-books on their platform.<\/p>\n

The main enhancement we have all been waiting for – page range printing<\/strong>, is now available.<\/p>\n

The new reader includes the following enhancements:<\/p>\n

– An expanded view of the e-book to give full screen reading as well as a zoom in\/out feature.\u00a0 Accessibility has been audited by the RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind).<\/p>\n

– Printing Improvements – you can now print page ranges rather than one page at a time.\u00a0 You have a print preview of the pages selected before you send them to the printer and a print allowance is shown for each book consisting of what you have already printed, and how many more pages you are allowed to print.*<\/p>\n

– Copying Improvements – the copy button now shows allowance per book – copies used and remaining, there is a preview page before copying to your clipboard.*<\/p>\n

– Searching within an e-book and hit highlighting.<\/p>\n

– Improved page navigation using the table of contents, improvements to scrolling and intuitive icons.<\/p>\n

– Private and shared notes.\u00a0 See the user guide below for full details on how this works.<\/p>\n

– Improvements to the reader layout on a mobile device so that it has the same features as the desktop version…the PowerPoint link below shows screenshots of the new Dawsonera reader on a PC, mobile and tablet.<\/p>\n

Some library staff met with Dawsonera recently to see a preview of the new reader.\u00a0 See the slides demonstrating the various enhancements at http:\/\/www.docs.is.ed.ac.uk\/docs\/Libraries\/Main\/E-Resources\/E-Books\/DawsonEraNewReader.pptx<\/a><\/p>\n

A user guide for the new reader is now available at http:\/\/www.docs.is.ed.ac.uk\/docs\/Libraries\/Main\/E-Resources\/E-Books\/DawsoneraOnlineReader_UserGuide.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

Dawsonera have a list of FAQs here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We welcome feedback on the new reader – please contact your academic support librarian to give your feedback.<\/p>\n
