Past Exam Papers

Past exam papers can be accessed from the library website. See Aungier Street Library's Exam Papers Guide for information on how to do this.

If you're accessing the papers from off-campus you'll be prompted to log in. 

You can find the username and password for off-campus access to the exam papers here by entering your student number and Library PIN. Please note that the username and password for off-campus access to the Exam Papers is different to those that you use to access library databases and e-journals. 

Alternatively call the library at 01-402 3068, or send us a message through Ask a Librarian and we'll tell you how to log in.

Postgraduate Room – Silent Study Area



Thanks to all of you who answered the Postgraduate Room survey.  We are currently analysing your responses, but first want to address an issue that many of you have raised: noise levels in the Postgraduate Room.
The majority of people who responded to the survey expressed a desire for the room to be a quiet study area.  We will put up signs to this effect so that all users of the room are aware of the need to be quiet.
Postgraduate students who want to work in groups still have the option of using one of the library’s eight group study rooms.
We hope that letting everyone know that the room is intended to be a quiet study room will solve any problems of noise in the room. If you need help from the library staff, however, please just let us know.

"Fix" for Problem with Endnote Web Plug-In for Word

We've learned that some people are experiencing problems with the Endnote Web plug-in for Word which means that in-text references are not being formatted in the correct style (usually APA 6th ) and Reference lists are not being compiled correctly either, so their Word document looks something like this:



The solution to this problem is to choose Preferences from the Endnote Web toolbar and, under the General tab, make sure that the "Enable Instant Formatting on new Word documents" box is ticked (see below).

Once you've ticked the box you'll need to re-start Word for the change to take effect.



Any questions, please contact us.
