École Nationale Supérieure des Sciences de l'Information et des Bibliothèques

The '''École nationale supérieure des sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques''' (ENSSIB; French for ''National Superior School of Information Science and Libraries'') is a French ''grande école'' based in Villeurbanne, near Lyon. It is administered by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.

Enssib's predecessor, the ''École nationale supérieure de bibliothécaires'', was established by decree in 1963 as an ''Établissement public à caractère administratif.'' The contemporary Enssib was formed by later decree in 1992, with elevated status as a ''grand établissement''.

It provides education and training for library curators and librarians in the French civil service after a competitive examination. The school is also a member of the University of Lyon and grants a variety of master's degrees, open to those not in the civil service.

Since 2009, the school publishes the '''' (), a journal established in 1956 by the merging of the ''Bulletin de documentation bibliographique'' and ''Bulletin d'information de la Direction des Bibliothèques de France''. The school belongs to the Couperin consortium. Provided by Wikipedia
