The host library: Bibliothèque Cantonale et Universitaire – Lausanne
The Bibliothèque Cantonale et Universitaire – Lausanne (BCUL), was established in 1537 with the founding of Lausanne Academy. Since 1898, it has been known as BCUL and found its home in the historic Palais de Rumine in 1905. Nowadays, as a regional library attached to the General Directorate of Culture of the Canton of Vaud (Department of Culture, Infrastructure and Human Resources), BCUL operates across six sites throughout Lausanne working to serve Lausanne’s university community and the general public.
Furthermore, BCUL plays a pivotal role in preserving and disseminating the research output of the University of Lausanne. Serving as the coordinator of the Renouvaud network (Vaud school library network), BCUL fosters collaboration among libraries in the canton of Vaud. As a pioneer in information management, BCUL introduced SIBIL, Switzerland’s first computerized catalog system, in 1971. Leveraging its expertise in digitization and digital library infrastructure, BCUL actively contributes to the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage.
The Unithèque site, located on the University of Lausanne campus, has been undergoing a major extension phase since 2020 to offer more open-access documents and workstations to its users in a modern environment.
