Resources
As a point of convergence for the scientific, educational, cultural and geographic registers, enssib plays a major role in the creation and circulation of knowledge in its specific professional field: information and library science.
What enssib offers, then, is a resource centre for information and library science :
- The enssib library comprises a specialist collection of over 40,000 books and a host of reviews.
- Enssib makes available numerous digital resources (data bases, online reviews) and, notably, the digital library (complete texts, specialising in information and library science) and the list of SIBEL links.
- The Ask a Librarian service answers your information and library science questions and provides access to its knowledge base.
- Enssib publications brings together the Presses de l'enssib, with its two major series Papiers (Papers) and Boîte à outils (Toolbox/BAO) and the leading national review, the Bulletin des Bibliothèques de France.
- In addition enssib has been recognised as an authority in the field of information literacy training, thanks to its FORMIST division and its educational brochure REPERE.
The resource centre benefits from enssib's role as an associate hub of the French National Library in the fields of information and library science (in January 2006 it became France's second copyright deposit centre) and the history of the book.
