The University of Montpellier’s Joint Documentation Service supports students, faculty members, faculty-researchers, researchers, and all staff in their studies, training, professional development, teaching, and research activities.
Its network of libraries, featuring a variety of workspaces, the breadth of its accessible collections, and the range of on-site and remote services all facilitate the use and creation of knowledge.
As a leading provider of information literacy training, the SCD helps users develop critical thinking skills and become more independent in finding, evaluating, and using information.
As the lead department for open science, the SCD supports the dissemination and promotion of the University’s scientific output, as well as the day-to-day work of faculty members and researchers.
Cultural initiatives—to which it contributes by organizing gatherings, exhibitions, and events—promote dialogue across disciplines, provide access to culture on campus, and foster an openness to knowledge for all audiences.
Innovative, inclusive, and attentive to the needs and practices of its users, the SCD contributes every day to student success, research excellence, and the University of Montpellier’s reputation and appeal.
