Similarly, the Elsevier training laboratory on the second floor has internet access to all subscribed databases and is open to faculty members.
  4. The library has received an update of its OnePetro Database with the new content. https://onepetro.org/journals The database provides registered Faculty members and researchers with information on the oil and gas exploration and production industry.
  5. Weekly statistics of the patronage of Donald Ekong Library showed a 20% decrease from two thousand eight hundred sixty-six users (2,866) in the previous week to 2,142 users in the current week.
