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.

Two New Media: Bla Blah and CHUT!

  • The bilingual Bla Blah newsletter: 6 issues a year to find out all about what's going on at the Library. Subscribe now.
  • The “CHUT !” podcast: students have their say on subjects that concern them through discussions, micro-trotters and portraits. On the agenda for the first episode (in French): the delicate and most important subject of mental health.

They Are Back

  • Training in Zotero software for building bibliographies resumes on 30 September,
  • Open Access Month, in November, to learn about open science,

The Library Got You

Following feedback from users, two new features have been introduced:

  • Simplified access to all resources: electronic resources are now included in the Catalogue,
  • A reduction in the number of seats subject to reservation (in a test phase until December 2024). From now on, only the seats on the 5th floor and the group workrooms in the Saint-Guillaume Library are subject to reservation.
