I would just like to add to the comments about access to the on-line past exam papers. I often access the library website from a terminal in a computer lab on campus, and find that I cannot access the exam papers. I can understand to some extent why you do not want to freely publish these on the web, but I do not see why you cannot grant access to those using a computer on campus, and not just to those using termianls that are actually in the library buildings. The Library undertook a trial project to scan and place the papers on the Library's home page for access in the Library only, as a result of the recommendations of the Teaching and Learning Committee of the University's Academic Board early this year. The Teaching and Learning Committee recommended that the papers should not be available widely on the Internet for various reasons, including intellectual property, copyright and the fact that any restrictions on access could be handled more expeditiously in that manner.
Most branch libraries are open in the evenings and weekends.
You can access the papers both in print form and on the Web, photocopy or print them by using the network printers. There are several sets of printed copies of examination papers in all branch libraries if you have difficulty accessing them on the Internet. This would make getting to lectures on time a little easier. Unfortunately it is difficult for the smaller libraries to justify the cost of extending their opening hours. We have trialled longer hours in the past, for example opening on the weekends, but the usage statistics were very low.
