In order to meet your needs as effectively as possible and give you an “à la carte” service, every lab at École des Ponts has a referring referring librarian. Feel free to approach them for information or training.

    Go to the group photo to indentify your librarian

 

If you haven’t been able to access a document via the École des Ponts subscriptions, you can ask your contact librarian to find it another way.

The Scholarly Communication Unit (Pôle IST) handles around 1000 requests a year. In order to deal with these requests as efficiently as possible, we have set up a document request module. Please use it for all requests so that we can continue to process them effectively.

To help you share the results of your research, we provide 2 levels of information:

  Open Access principles and everything you need to know about your rights

  Depositing data in HAL

 

In order to collect, organize and cite the work you have drawn on in your research, it is essential to use a dedicated reference management tool.

  Some guidelines for choosing the most suitable Reference Management System.

 

In addition, we organize regular training on Zotero and you can contact us via The Lab for technical support on migrating data from one system to another.

The Scholarly Communication Unit can offer you a tailored service for your document engineering needs. These may be operations that we are used to doing and where we can save you time (importing into HAL, document monitoring, migration from one Reference Management System to another, text-mining, digitization of documents, etc…) but you can also ask us to help with non-standard operations! The Lab exists to support you and find solutions for all your data processing needs.

  Direct access to The Lab to look at all the services we can provide. Don’t hesitate to ask. We relish a challenge!
