Collections
The CEFRES library presently holds more than 6,000 monographs in free access in its public reading room. It provides access to French databases of publications specialized in the human and social sciences (see below). New acquisitions are published on a regular basis in the rubric New Acquisitions.
Our periodical collection holds around 100 titles. Between 1994 and 2012, the CEFRES library used to analyse the articles of the 60 French periodicals to which it suscribed, leading to the constitution of a database of a 15,000 references. The database is part of the Library catalogue.
