If left alone, the lesions will usually disappear by themselves in 4 to 6 months. This condition usually occurs in older individuals.

The growing supply of digital information resources in libraries has facilitated effective searching for the material needed by scholars. This study investigated availability and use of library digital information resources for research by postgraduate students of University of Abuja. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population of the study was 2323 postgraduate students of the University of Abuja. Using the Taro Yemen’s (1964) statistical formula, a sample size of 64 respondents was considered for the study.
