Main Library
Overview
The university library of Université La Sagesse covers a total area of approximately 1000 m², including both open reading areas and closed rooms, all equipped with computers for online research. It is an essential partner for university researchers, offering a vast collection of printed resources and disciplinary periodicals, some of which date back to the 19th century.
The library also provides access to a large catalogue of online content, with reference materials and periodicals constantly updated and enriched by new regular acquisitions.
The library adopts an open-source, community-integrated library management system (SIGB), facilitating inter-university circulation. This system makes resources covering all disciplines of Université La Sagesse’s faculties available to the entire scientific community. Additionally, it provides access to global research databases and bundles of electronic journals, subscribed based on academic and research needs.
Finally, a dedicated team is available to guide students in using the library’s resources.
