and journals from our country and abroad.
The users also have the possibility to get information from
other library resources by using our library computer
network, which is connected to the the Internet.
The library helps its readers by its own publications; it
contributes to the elaboration of some bibliographical
specialty research.
Our special concern is to continually enrich the library's
collections with treatises, handbooks, by purchasing
valuable books from our country or from abroad.
All these turn the Library of Petroleum Gas University of
Ploiesti into a real 'laboratory' of our intellectual life.
