Our Library also serves as an indispensable partner in study, teaching and research at the Institute, providing our target groups with services, support, guides and training.
Today, we offer expertise on essential subjects such as open access, research data management, impact metrics, citation manager software and copyright.
The Institute expresses its deep gratitude to Mrs Kathryn Davis – our alumna who passed away in 2013 – for financing the Library, which bears her name as well as that of her husband.
We would also like to extend our thanks to the Loterie Romande for its contribution to the Library’s equipment.
In 2020, our Library joined the Swiss Library Platform (SLSP), including 490 other Swiss academic libraries. Thanks to this important network and its swisscovery catalogue, users have access to over 40 million books, periodicals, journals and non-book materials, as well as millions of electronic articles.
We also offer a varied collection of films, graphic novels and board games, and lend recording equipment to make podcasts, for example.
