We’ve made some slight changes to the silent study spaces in Bay Library. From now on, the North Wing will be a silent study zone. You’ll find three study areas in the North Wing:-

  • PC Room 1 – this is now the silent study computer room
  • Silent Study Rooms – these have individual desk spaces with power sockets and USB connections for you to plug in your devices

We ask that you respect your fellow students and work silently in these areas. If you need to talk while you work, you can do so in the Central Area or the South Wing, but please consider other library users and keep noise to a minimum. (Please note, PC Room 2 in the South Wing was previously the silent PC study space, but you can now talk in this room.)

Are you looking for a quiet place to revise for your exams? Room 117 and room 128 in the School of Management building are both available for silent study Monday to Friday from 08.00 to 18.00 until the 27th January.

If you live close to Singleton Campus, please also check the extra study space that is available there.

This is in addition to the usual study space in the library. Bay Library is open 24/7 as usual. There are silent study rooms available in the North Wing if you need to work somewhere without distractions.

Please look out for our friends from the Students’ Union who will be handing out free tea and coffee at prearranged times in the library as part of Study Aid 17.

Good luck with your exams!

If you are looking for past papers to help you revise for your exams, take a look at the LIS exam past papers  web site. It has links to many of the departments who have made their exam past papers available on line or via Blackboard or information as to how you can obtain past papers if they are not available online.

You may also find these web pages from biz/ed useful on exam technique and preparation.

Good luck in your exams!
