Semester One 2012 exam papers have now become available. These are the most recent papers available to students as an exam preparation tool, and add to the collection already available from previous years.

 

The Library only receives past exam papers that the Unit Coordinators have authorised to be released.  If you can’t find papers from past years for your unit(s), the Library hasn’t got them, and can’t get them for you.  You’ll have to talk to your Unit Coordinator.

 

If the unit is currently in Reading Lists, its past exam papers are available here http://rlms.utas.edu.au/erl/.

 

Otherwise, to see if your unit(s) has papers from previous years available go to the library homepage, type the unit code in the search box:

Morris Miller Library February artwork display

Morris Miller Library is very pleased to be hosting a display of Kate Piekutowski’s artwork. The display will run throughout February.

Kate is an Australian/Polish artist who predominantly works in the print industry. She is currently undertaking Masters of Fine arts in Tasmania which will be completed June 2013.

Through the medium of etching, Kate explores cultural identity within her prints. The works reflect on her disconnection to her Polish heritage and ancestors. Being a first-generation child of migrants, she is intrigued by the concept of belonging.

Kate Piekutowski is an emerging artist who has exhibited in Inka Gallery, Stable Gallery, Entrepot Gallery, Long Gallery, Rebecca Roth Gallery, Goulburn Street Gallery, Preachers and The Henry Jones Hotel. She is also exhibiting with Upraw Gallery in Sydney and PG Gallery and BES62 in Melbourne.
