Library
Isabelle Quaglia
The library is a friendly place where students can work, find information,
read, watch films, make photocopies and print individually
or in groups.
It has varied, regularly updated resources assembled in close collaboration
with the teaching staff. The students must be able to
extend their personal reflection and broaden their knowledge.
With 5000 books, 20 journal subscriptions, 300 videos and a few
rare items, the collection is strongly centred on contemporary art
but also covers history of art and general subjects.
The librarian holds sessions on initiation in documentary research
for first-year students.
She provides individual help for students in their research, attends
reviews and takes their concerns into account in order to
improve the relevance of the stock of documents. Selections by
subject and new items are presented throughout the year.
Readers can leave books on a ‘swap table’ and take others.
Partnerships with the other libraries and documentation centres
in Nîmes enable the students to draw the most from the different
resource venues and professionals to design their services in a
complementary manner. The library’s participation in the art
school librarians’ network is also a valuable feature.
Documents are lent to the students at the school and students at
establishments with which agreements have been concluded.
The public can consult works in the library.
Computer workstations provide access to office tools and the
Internet.
A facility is provided to watch films on the spot. A printer and a
photocopy machine are available for use by students. The computerised
catalogue can be accessed at: http://extranet.nimes.fr/
