We’ve just been notified that the bibliographic database Rep\u00e8re<\/a> is being discontinued on 30 June 2025. Details are a bit scarce but more information on the database’s future is promised for July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we’ve learned is that Rep\u00e8re’s provider, Services documentaires multim\u00e9dia (SDM), is ceasing operations on 30 June 2025. It is handing some of its assets to the Biblioth\u00e8que et Archives nationales du Qu\u00e9bec (although Rep\u00e8re is not moving to BAnQ oversight, according to SDM’s press release<\/a>). Meanwhile, the BAnQ also recently announced<\/a> that they’re taking over production of the Service qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de traitement documentaire (SQTD), ie. bibliographic and authority records for Qu\u00e9bec publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep\u00e8re is popular and important, so it’s unfortunate that it has been thrown into uncertainty. We’ll follow this issue, but we also appreciate you sharing any related info\/news you come across with CSU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is good interim recommendation from Denis Lacroix (thanks Denis!): an alternative database would be using Eureka\/Newscan<\/a>, but this is not a perfect match to Rep\u00e8re’s coverage.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please update your LibGuides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Alma\/Primo cutover, we’ll work with Cataloguing and Metadata Strategies to explore options for discoverability of SQTD records in Primo (ie. via the Central Discovery Index).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
