Public function

The French Atelier National de Réproduction des Thèses (ANRT), the national digitization centre for PhD theses, is a public body under the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (department of scientific and technical information and documentation network). The ANRT mandate is to archive French PhD theses and to disseminate them in the academic network of university libraries, and to contribute to the valorization of the French scientific production of Higher Education and research. It is attached as a service to the University of Lille III and located on the Lille III campus at Villeneuve-d'Ascq, in Northern France.

History

ANRT was created in 1971 to take charge of the reproduction of PhD theses of State (at the beginning, only social sciences and humanities).[1] Starting with offset, reproduction on microfilm has been established since 1983, following the model of University Microfilms International.

At the beginning, there were two national centres, according to academic disciplines:

In 2011 the two centres merged into one structure, located in a facility on the campus Pont de Bois of the University of Lille III at Villeneuve d'Ascq.[2]

ANRT works closely with the the Ministry of Higher Education, with the Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education (ABES) and the university libraries. The ANRT network of users and customers extends beyond French borders and includes academic and scientific libraries and scientific bookstores in different European countries, America and Asia.

Services

As part of its national mandate, the ANRT provides university libraries with PhD theses on microfilm (microfiche). Upon request and under conditions, the ANRT can also provide digital files or a printed version to academic institutions.

The ANRT catalog contains 200,000 theses in all disciplines and is a unique heritage for the entire scientific community. Based on a non exclusive license with authors, over 7,000 theses are available through a print on demand service (POD) called Thèses à la Carte.

ANRT prints scientific documents (journals, books, conference proceedings) and digitizes scientific collections (ancient books, theses, etc.).

Perspectives

Under the tutelage of the French Ministry, ANRT participates in the national project of a Digital Scientific Library called Bibliothèque Numérique Scientifique (BSN)[3].

With the evolution of digital dissemination of theses, ANRT is positioned as a provider of digitization and dissemination of scientific production and contributes, on a regional level and with the university of Lille, to education and research projects.
