University Library

Activities

The University Library develops and coordinates all the documentary resources of the University of Avignon, necessary to the whole scientific community, students and teachers-researchers: it builds collections on different supports (paper, electronic, video), communicates them to all the public and promotes them by events throughout the year.

The University Library organises training in documentary research and develops and operates an information system providing access to scientific and technical resources. It participates in the network of higher education libraries through the constitution of the collective catalogue of university libraries (SUDOC).

The minister in charge of higher education appoints the director of the library on the proposal of the president of the university.
The Director is placed under the authority of the President of the University (Decree no. 2011-996 of 23 August 2011). The Director of the Library is Jacky Barbe.
