Course Reserve

--Reserve books may only be used for two hours at a time.
--At the Science Library, you can self-issue and self-check-in Reserve books
--You can book a Reserve book in advance - ask Library Staff to show you how.
Past exam papers
If you see that a paper has been ‘embargoed’, this means the department does not allow access to its past exams. And in case you were wondering, the answers are not available--sorry!
