Libraries rarely get « customers ». In most of the public libraries, your are free to enter, to grab any material ans to sit down for hours. No need to suscribe for these services.


Besides, the libraries of the French universities are providng their services to any person paying the fees, same as the students.





As the type of services and the social role are rich and complex, un unusual number of subtags is required :

pubic targeted
intellectual content (collections)
material types (books, manuscripts, records, artworks, maps…)
lending / no lending / mobile ending
administrative status (municipal, school, county, ngo, state, university, corporate…)
