    Can anyone advise me what the story is for ex students using the library? I dont want to take any books out but need to go in and take some notes from books I used back in the day... Need to swot up for slight career change. Whats the chances of being able to get into the library to study for a few hours?

    There are always non-students in the library, especially before the Leaving Cert. I regularly go in and use the facilities, nobody minds as long as you're not causing trouble and AFAIK nobody checks cards, EVER.

    €120 a year for library use? GTFO!!!! How much is membership in most local libraries??

    I'm currently in college in UL but I'm from Athlone. Guessing there's no way I can take out a book for a few days to save me going to Limerick to get it out, or getting a mate to?

    Edit: My father was a stuudent who graduated this year. I was able to log on to his student library account so do you think I'd still be able take out books with his card?

    That's some shaky ground there. Reader Access for your Dad is available free of charge because he's a graduate, but that's about it unless he wants to pay €120/year for the privilege of taking books out. If you have a friend in AIT, that might be a better option.

    I graduated this year too, and my expiry date is showing as 26-10-2011. By all means try the self-service machine near the issue desk, but don't be surprised if it starts throwing errors at you.
