Built in 1970, renovated and restructured in 2000, the Bibliothèque universitaire de l’Arsenal offers 13 km of collections (40 % as free access), about 450,000 items and 5.000 periodicals in the fields taught at the university : Law, Economics, Politics, Management, Finance, ...

• 900 seats ;

A “Centre de ressources en langues”, Language Resource Centre for independent study and guided learning in French and foreign languages opened in September 2008.

The surface area of 9.500 m2 is spread over 5 levels : 3 floors offering free access to collections (books, periodicals, theses, multimedia and e-resources) and 2 floors of stacks and offices.

The library replaced the former “Law and Arts Library” created in the XIXth century. The stacks thus maintain significant old collections in humanities : literature, history, philosophy, history of arts, ... Quite unusual among French universities libraries : the Bibliothèque universitaire de l’Arsenal also owns an exceptional collection of 50,000 ancient or rare books (before 1800).
