Work in the library

Some seats require prior reservation to be used. They are located in the quiet areas of the library. Please respect your reservation and your chosen seat, notify your arrival and departure and do not sit in these areas if you have not made a reservation. These three simple rules, if followed, will greatly enhance everyone's library experience. To find out more or to make a reservation, click here.

We also have four group work rooms at the Bibliothèque Saint-Guillaume. To reserve one of these rooms, the procedure is the same as for seats: go to sciencespo.libcal.com.

Apart from the library, Sciences Po has a number of work rooms at your disposal. You can reserve them through your school or use them freely if they are not reserved (check the roompad at the entrance to the room).

DO RESEARCH

It gives you access to all our printed collections (a large part of these documents are in book stacks, inaccessible to the public) and to a large part of our digital collections. It allows you to make loan requests and to locate documents in the reading room.

It references all the databases to which we subscribe (ebooks, press, scientific journals, thematic databases).

• Documentary selections

In the library and online, the library regularly offers various thematic selections. The reference librarians also provide online subject guides.
