Detail InformationEdit
The Bibliothèque Sainte-Barbe is an inter-university library (BIU) in Paris, France that opened in March 2009. It is located in the buildings of the former College of St. Barbara, and has been registered as a historical monument from 9 December 1999. The BIU St. Barbara is led by François Michaud, chief curator of the library.
The College of St. Barbara was founded in 1460 by Geoffrey Lenormant. Directed by Ernest Lheureux, a pupil of Theodore Labrouste, construction of the Chartière and Valette buildings was undertaken between 1881 and 1884.
In February 2008, the team settled permanently in the premises of the College Sainte-Barbe located at 4 rue Valette (Paris 5), renovated by the architect Antoine Stinco. Open to the public since 9 March 2009, it shares a portion of its premises with the library of the Sorbonne from May 2010 during its renovation.
Primarily aimed at undergraduates, the library complements other university libraries in the Latin Quarter. Situated in the immediate vicinity of the Sainte-Geneviève and Cujas libraries, Sainte-Barbe offers everyone open access to collections on law, economics, social sciences, languages, literature and arts. Its collections, strongly oriented to help students succeed in the beginning of the course, are complementary to those of its illustrious neighbors.
Open from 10am to 8pm from Monday to Saturday, the library serves undergraduates and students of Masters courses at public universities in Paris and the Ile De France, with a potential readership of 100,000 students. To this should be added students in preparatory classes of the grands lycées.
