Library directory

This dataset includes the contents of the Répertoire du Catalogue collective de France for its part “Bibliothèques”. **Description of the Directory of Libraries** More than 5,000 French libraries are registered in the Directory of the CCFr, including: * All municipal libraries in cities with more than 10.000 inhabitants, * All French university libraries (updated with data from the Directory of Sudoc Resource Centres), * All libraries reporting collections in the CCFr. But the Directory also presents libraries and documentation centres of all types and sizes when they request them. Each registration includes both practical and scientific information (address, timetables, access conditions, web address of the catalogue and/or library, services offered, description of collections,...) for users and professionals. **For more information** On the Directory of Libraries: <HTTPS://WWW.BNF.FR/FR/LE-REPERTOIRE-DE-BIBLIOTHEQUES-DU-CCFR> **The RCR number** Each library is identified by its RCR number (9 characters), assigned by the Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education (ABES) and composed as follows: * the first two numbers correspond to the department number, * the following three numbers correspond to the INSEE code of the municipality, * the following two numbers correspond to the type of library, * the last two form a sequential number. The RCR number is widely used within the CCFr, for the localisation of the collections or documents described in the Heritage Base, in the General Catalogue of Manuscripts (CGM) or in the Repertoire of French Literary Manuscripts of the 20th Century (Palma).
