Testimonials
“Quand je commence à travailler sur un sujet, je regarde d’abord sur Sudoc ou le catalogue de la BNF les livres le concernant, puis, pour les articles, la Bibliographie de Brepols. Je ne manque jamais de faire des découvertes.”
Martin Aurell
“La BCM? C’est l’un des outils les plus importants pour ma recherche documentaire. Je m’en sers, tout d’abord, pour trouver une information bibliographique complète, que d’autres répertoires ne fournissent pas nécessairement. Je l’utilise aussi pour la sûreté de ses contenus. Je dispose donc d’une information précise. Je m’en sers également pour localiser les documents dont j’ai besoin. Je considère disposer avec elle d’un outil de référence.”
Pierre Levron, CNRS researcher
