Dawsonera

Posts have been pretty thin on the ground recently as we are all very busy. Anyway, we have made changes to Dawsonera logins from last year and want to avoid confusion (no chance!)
If you registered before January 2009 and have never logged in to Dawsonera, please contact the library
If you registered after January 2009 and before July 2009, your username is your student number and your password is your date of birth in the format dd/mm/yyyy
Dawsonera then altered the way that we created usernames and passwords so that their software recognised the first slash in dd/mm/yyyy as some kind of end of line or end of field symbol, so instead of seeing dd/mm/yyyy as the password, Dawsonera sees dd as the password. Two character passwords are not allowed by Dawsonera. Hence if you registered between July 2009 and August 2010, your username is your student number and your password is your date of birth in format ddmmyyyy
Dawsonera then came up with a fix that allowed us to go back to using dd/mm/yyyy as the password, so if you registered after August 2010, your username is your student number and your password is your date of birth in the format dd/mm/yyyy.
Obviously we're not thrilled about changing passwords like this, but dd/mm/yyyy is easier to create and it matches up with logging into databases. Thank you for your considerable patience.
