General catalogue The Catalogue containing all the documents housed by the Joint Documentation Service (SCD) libraries of Marc Bloch University can be accessed on the Internet. (N.B. A good number of items published before the 90's do not feature in the computerised catalogue, the need therefore to refer to the traditional paper catalogues within the respective libraries) On line CD ROMs and databases In addition to the individual Library CD ROMs there is an established electronic resource network that can be accessed from any of the libraries. It contains a vital data base which includes dictionaries, encyclopaedias, social sciences, economics and politics, literature, linguistics and philosophy, history of Art and Music, sports, History and archaeology, religious sciences, the press, and national bibliographies. Access to the Internet Free access to Internet (excluding e-mail and forum) available in the U2-U3 and the language libraries.		Electronic Ressources

Assistance in Documentary Research	Assistance in bibliographical research The Library staff are available in each of the libraries to assist you in locating the required bibliography. (inquire from the library front desks ) Information Research workshops The U2-U3 Library organises training sessions for groups of two to five people on how to use computer research tools that are available in the libraries. These include catalogues, the Internet, data bases, and CD ROMs. University Methodology Lectures The joint documentation service (SCD) collaborates with the Marc Bloch University academics in organising University methodology lectures for the first year university students during the first semester.

The Marc Bloch Libraries offer varied working spaces. From the modern ones in the U2-U3 library, to the ones with a historic perspective at the Palais Universitaire. From the privacy of the coloured rooms of the language library to the wide spaces offered by the Portique library ; students can choose the atmosphere and conditions that best suit their study needs. Worth mentioning are the spaces with specific facilities like the video area for documentary consultation located in the U2-U3 library.
