Elsevier Journals stll accessible through HINARI

RUN Library hereby dispells the assertion that Elsevier Journals are no longer accessible through the HINARI database.  Some members of the academic staff brought this to our notice and we have since confirmed it to be untrue.
We have the understanding that if such major change would be effected, HINARI would before-hand inform its subscribers which cut across over 4800 institutions registered in 105 countries around the globe.
We have tried downloading successfully articles from journals published by Elsevier via  HINARI after the news.  However, we advise our patrons to carefully study the access policy of each journal as negotiated with HINARI  by the publishers because such policy would determine the availability of a journal article in full text.
In case you experience any further challenge you may contact Mr. A.A. Adeleke at the Information Literacy unit of the library for assistance.
