Collections and spaces

The Cerclades library is multidisciplinary. In this way, it does not limit its specializations. Students can fin spaces dedicated to a wide variety of literatures, humanities, legal and technical sciences, art and linguistics.

The library is divided into several areas :
  • There are spaces dedicated to group work, and quieter ones for working in a calm atmosphere.
  • Relaxation area for breaks between revision sessions.
  • The third floor is dedicated to group rooms and individual areas.
  • The archives (also known as stores) contain collections and works that are accessible indirectly. They are available only on request from the librarians.


Public

The Cerclades library is aimed at students from Licence to Doctorat level, as well as teachers. It also welcomes students preparing for the Capes and Agrégation competitive examinations.
