| Zusammenfassung: | In 1968, the decision was made to develop the University of Louvain into two linguistic sections: ‘Katholieke Universiteit Leuven’ (KULeuven today), Dutch-speaking, which remained in Leuven, and the ‘Université catholique de Louvain’ (UCLouvain today), French-speaking, which was transferred to Ottignies (1972–1979). In parallel, reflections carried out on the evolution of the University in the wake of May 1968 led authorities from both new universities to favour a decentralised model of faculty libraries, in order to guaranty greater user proximity. After a brief historical introduction, we present the powerful tool now available to all potential users: the formation and state of the current collections, the organisation of the library, the digitalisation of its catalogue, and other services offered on the heuristic and teaching level. We conclude with an evocation of partnerships and prospects. |
