AllArts et Métiers students, wherever they are located, have access to specialized online resources and printed materials in campus libraries.
Libraries: between scientific knowledge and culture
The campuses have a library which, in addition to offering a comprehensive collection of documents on engineering, industrial engineering, and technology, is a place of mediation, open to scientific and general culture, with language learning centers, spaces for business creation and job search, leisure/cultural spaces, and more.
The libraries are open to the public and offer 460 workspaces and meeting rooms. They offer books, magazines, comics, DVDs, student dissertations, theses, and more.
An online document collection comprising essential databases in engineering sciences and more than 10,000 scientific journals meets the information needs of the institution's students, teachers, and researchers.
Working closely with the Scientific Information and Open Science Department (DISSO), library staff are available to help the institution's users search for, implement, and promote the scientific and technical information they need for their activities.
Open science
Deeply committed to the open science movement, DISSO is dedicated to supporting research and promoting scientific output, as evidenced by the provision of the Arts et Métiers portal Arts et Métiers HAL, the support unit for drafting data management plans, and the Arts et Métiers data repository. The creation of RELIAM, the open archive of free educational resources, further complements this policy of open science.
Towards the AtriuM
In 2024, libraries will join the Evolutive Learning Factoriesproject, a structuring project of the institution aimed at creating school factories based on technological platforms. In this context, they take the name AtriuM, places of life enabling technological and documentary mediation in multiple spaces such as meeting rooms, individual work booths, autonomous video studios, immersive corners, etc.
Online resources accessible to everyone
From the Arts et Métiers Libraries website, you’ll have access to all 50,000 items available in the institution’s libraries. The site allows you to search by document type, subject, and year, and—once logged in—to view your current loans, renew them, reserve items, and suggest purchases.
Through this portal, you can access the scientific publications (articles, book chapters, conference papers, patents, etc.) produced by researchers from the institution’s 15 laboratories.
The RELIAM Open Educational Resources Repository
Open educational resources produced byArts et Métiers teachers
With over 70,000 royalty-free images, this site provides access to courses, technical drawings, journals, and postcards from the 19th and early 20th centuries that represent the educational heritage produced at the institution. It allows users to discover a selection of previously unpublished documents on the history of education, the history of technology, and industrial engineering.
