Off-Campus Access to Exam Papers

Past exam papers can be accessed from the library website. See our Exam Papers guide for information on how to do this.

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

You can find the username and password for off-campus access to exam papers here by entering your student or DIT staff 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, see the YouTube video below. If you still have problems then call the library at 01-402-3068 or send us a message through Ask a Librarian and we'll help you to log in.

Come visit our exhibition Life in Jacob's Factory: Then & Now

DIT Library Aungier Street has installed an exhibition about life for the Jacob’s factory workers in the 1913-1916 period, in contrast to life now.

Using the Jacob’s building as its focal point, the exhibition highlights living conditions in Dublin in the period from the 1911 Census to the 1916 Rebellion, the role the building played in the Easter Rebellion, and the working conditions and lives of the young men and women working in Jacob’s factory during the period, compared to those of a typical DIT student.

Why not visit the library and have a look? 

This exhibition complements the Library Services’ Jacobs1916.com online exhibition and will remain in place until the end of the semester.
