The essentials

at the national level: the SUDOC catalog

The SUDOC catalog allows bibliographic research on the collections of French university libraries and other institutions of higher education, for all types of documents. For periodical collections, it is extended to more than 2000 other French documentation centers. It allows you to locate documents in these libraries. The Directory of Resource Centers which completes it describes the conditions of access to each of them.

The documents of the SCDBU of the University of Savoie are reported in the SUDOC. However, as with other libraries, information about their availability must be checked in the library catalogue: this is because the SUDOC is not synchronized for this type of information with the local systems of the libraries, which are the only ones that can be kept up to date since they manage the loans.

The description of this resource

locally: Lectura Plus

Lectura Plus is the result of the merger of the websites Lectura (common portal of the central cities of the former Rhône-Alpes region) and Mémoires et actualités en Rhône-Alpes (portal of the written and graphic heritage of the former Rhône-Alpes region). It is the portal of the written and graphic heritage of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It provides simultaneous access to digitized content from the heritage collections of the cities of Annecy, Bourg-en-Bresse, Chambéry, Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble, Lyon, Roanne, Saint-Etienne, and Valence: old press, image gallery, virtual exhibitions, and information on the region's heritage collections.
