Crévilles.org

Dans le cadre de la création en 2005 du nouveau centre de documentation qui est issu du regroupement des fonds des différents laboratoires qui composent la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Val de Loire à Tours , la question du passage au format électronique des ressources documentaires nous est apparue primordiale. Un premier état des lieux des ressources documentaires disponibles actuellement via Internet nous ayant fait constater un éparpillement qui complique fortement les recherches dans le domaine des sciences sociales et, plus encore, celui des études urbaines, il a été décidé de créer un centre de ressources électroniques sur les villes, Crévilles . Le premier objectif de ce projet est donc de faciliter les recherches à l’intersection des sciences sociales et des études urbaines en regroupant l’accès aux ressources documentaires électroniques à travers un site internet qui propose toute une palette d’outils de recherche accessibles à tous via le web. http://crevilles.org/mambo/index.php
