Sciences Po’s Library Is Back in Session

The Sciences Po Library is not only an internationally renowned resource, housing exceptional collections and operating as a network between our seven campuses, it is also, and above all, run by a team of passionate professionals who are committed to offering the most relevant services possible each year to the students, teachers, researchers, employees, and alumni who make up our university and bring it to life.

From searching for documents to compiling a bibliography: a good knowledge of the university library is an important asset in any academic career... find out what's new in 2024 and the comeback of its iconic services.
