This is a selection
of libraries that the University Library recommends on a regular basis
to find materials not available at AUP. It is
but a selection to which new referrals are added regularly.
As some of these libraries
charge access fees, a Reference Librarian can help you determine which one is
the most suited to a particular research project and can make arrangements to
reimburse the fees involved (on a case by case basis).
If the material you need is not available in the University
Library, you can try searching Paris-area libraries by using one of the
online catalogs suggested below and by searching the
Catalogue Collectif de France(CCFr)
or the Systeme universitaire de
documentation (Sudoc) (university libraries only).
To search the collections of major libraries throughout France, use CCFr or
Sudoc; to search the collections of major libraries worldwide, especially for
English-language materials, use
WorldCat. If a specific item you are looking for is only available at
a library outside the Paris area, you may submit a Document Delivery
request.
 WorldCat allows you to search the collections
of over 40,000 libraries worldwide. The WorldCat database includes records
from the major North American research libraries as well as a growing number of
libraries in other countries, including many in France. WorldCat is
especially useful when doing a comprehensive search for materials that have been
published anywhere in the English language.
Except when noted, the following libraries are research libraries and not lending libraries.
While English language materials will be available, the working language
will be French.
