We're open every Sunday over the exam period, with the last Sunday opening being 10th May.
Aungier St (but NOT Dame St) will also be open May Bank Holiday Monday .
Opening hours on these days will 11am to 5pm
Also, fine doubling is now in operation and will end Friday 16th May. This is purely to encourage circulation of study materials in the time that they are needed the most.
The library wishes the best of luck to all students taking exams in the next few weeks.

Sunday opening/Fine doubling: coming soon.
The cycle of the academic year will shortly reach the end of year exam period (cue dramatic music). In addition to marathon studies sessions & a lot of stress, the exam season brings:
1. Sunday Opening.
Throughout April and into May, we'll be open every day (terms and conditions may apply), including Sundays and Bank Holidays. A calendar will appear here later
2. Doubling of Overdue Book Fines.
To try to prevent hogging of much needed textbooks and ensure fair circulation of materials, fines for overdue books will be doubled during the exam period. More information about dates will alos appear here soon.

Exam time!
We are now entering the Dreaded Exam Period (cue rising organ music). The Dreaded Exam Period means three things:
1) Fines double for the duration of the exam period. Instead of €0.60, fines on overdue material will be €1.20. This is not a cynical revenue generating exercise by the library, this is a genuine attempt to keep books in circulation and deter students from hogging texts that are in demand. We have been contacted by a number of students who have reservations on overdue books that show no signs of coming back, yet. Everyone will understand how frustrating this is, so think of the doubled fine as an incentive to be a good library user.
2) As detailed elsewhere, alternatively, as detailed below this post, we open Sundays and Bank Holidays for a limited period of time
3) In response to the increased number of queries: Most previous years' exam papers can be on Moodle at this link. You will need to login to access it. Actually, just checking on Moodle there and I see that the link is prominently displayed in the site news section. Exam papers are split by category - undergraduate arts, undergraduate business, postgraduate arts, postgraduate business, law and ICM/DBS diplomas/Springboard courses. I stress,the papers are you looking for are probably there, but not necessarily.
Good luck with your exams!

Getting closer to exams... 3 things to remember!
We are now entering the 'Dreaded Exam Period' and this means three things:
1) We open Sundays and bank holidays 11am to 5pm from the week starting March 24th until the week ending May 18th. All the 10 Sunday/bank holiday opening are listed in a previous post further below, and you can also see them all on the DS and AS library calendars on the Library website 'about the library' section: http://library.dbs.ie/AboutLibrary/Opening-Hours.htm
2) Most previous years' exam papers can be found on Moodle: click on the 'exam papers' link on the left hand side of your Moodle homepage. Exam papers are split by category - undergraduate arts, undergraduate business, postgraduate arts, postgraduate business, law and ICM/DBS diplomas/Springboard courses.
3) Fines double from April 1st until May 18th
So for 2-week, 1-week, 3-day & 7-day law (DS only) items, it will be €1.20 per item per day late.
And instead of €1.50 for 3-day loan, it will be €3.00 per day late.
DVDs remain at €3.00 per DVD per day late.
This is not a cynical revenue generating exercise by the library, this is a genuine attempt to keep books in circulation between all of you needing them for your revisions, and therefore prevent students from holding on to books while many others need them too.
Remember, fines are avoidable! Indeed, you can manage your account online yourself and see if you have books that are reserved by others (they will not be renewable), and renew your other books.
You can do so:
- online (click on the 'Access my library account' icon on the library website and login with the same login as your Moodle logins)
- at the self-issuing stations with your student card
- by telephoning the relevant library site (01-417 7572 for AS library / 01-417 8745 for DS library)
Good luck with your exams!
