Library

The electronic library opening was especially good for the students of the Departments of Journalism and Computer Programming. This is evidenced by the fact of their active use of the electronic library. That activity is derived from the profession: students of the Department of Computer programming become professional doing practical work, and the students of the Department of Journalism, who are aware of everything, increase media resources due to connection. Law students are less active as they use a compueter for typing course and diploma works, or accsessing legal sites.
