How can we be sustainable?

- Thanks to Government support.

- Facing budgetary problems with new strategies:

- Dealing more strongly with suppliers: studying carefully our resource collection and having the strength to adapt it to our needs and reduce the prices. Result in 2012: saving 14% from our budget.

- Creating new applications thanks to the professional commitment of the staff: Institutional Repository, Specific Subject Areas

- Efficient User service which allows the library to be in contact with professionals and maintain a high level of assistance.
