The very best of luck... you're nearly there:

Best of luck for your exams!

All the DBS Library team wish you all the very best of luck with your exams!

And if there are any ways we can help you, just let us know!

Student Services have compiled a great Exams Guide that you can pick up at the desk at both libraries as well as around the College and remember that support is always available to you, so just get in touch with any member of staff in the College or with DBS Education and Welfare Officer Caitriona (caitriona.mcgrattan@dbs.ie)

Once again, the very best of luck to you all!

No classrooms available for study until the end of exams

Unfortunately we will no longer be able to advertise free study rooms around the College until the end of exams, as all rooms are now being used or prepared for the exams but we hope that you will be able to find space to study in both libraries or in the students areas in Castle House.

Available classroom for the week 22-28 April 2013

Dame Street Room 3.1 is available all week long for extra study space.



Thank you to DBS Facilities team for providing more study space and good luck to you all with your revisions!

Bits n' Pieces

A couple of small news items:

1) Loans due back Friday 29th, Saturday 30th March and Monday 1st April have a new due date of Tuesday 2nd April, so don't feel you have to make it over the Easter weekend to return your loans, you can wait until Tuesday now.

2) We've added a 4th study room in Aungier St. However you'll have to share this with library staff, who be using it from time-to-time.

3) We've experiencing some temporary difficulty with Westlaw UK access through Athens at the moment.  I'm sure this will be resolved swiftly. At least I hope it will.
