Research library

In addition to the Sciences Po General Library, research students and faculty have access to a research library offering 50 seats.

Located at 1 Saint-Thomas, next to the general library, it provides direct access to more than 9,000 books mainly in political science.

There is a photocopying room and a reception desk that is constantly staffed during opening hours (Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 11:00 pm, Saturday 9:30 am to 9:30 pm) and offers specialized as well as personalised support.

For access requests and visits, contact Marie-Laure Claudon.

Thematic Guides

To assist you in your studies and research, our special librarians have compiled a wealth of useful information in thematic guides by discipline.

Covering news, relevant resources, new acquisitions, tips and tricks, these guides are designed to complement information available on the Sciences Po library website.

Trainings

The research library offers personalised support, particularly to doctoral school students and PhD students, who can take advantage of a session on Methodology of scientific information research at the beginning of each academic year.

It is also possible to request individual tutoring through the Book a librarian service.

The Sciences Po library also offers training courses on:

• Building your bibliography with Zotero. Zotero is a bibliographic management software that allows you to create a personal database from imported or manually entered references. Please follow this link to know the schedules and register to this training.
