The Pôle doc' team's first favorite book of the year! Inspired by European Sustainable Development Week, which runs from September 18 to October 8, 2025: " Petit manuel de répartie écologique " .
When the subject of ecology is close to our hearts, we often find ourselves at a loss when it comes to broaching the subject, fearing that we'll upset the mood, antagonize the other person or not have the right arguments to convince or at least make the other person think. This guide offers answers to deconstruct anti-environmental arguments. They are held by different types of profile: the new skeptics (Global warming? not in Normandy, given what it rains!), the immobilists (The State does nothing, neither do companies, why should I act? or the famous triangle of inaction), the eco(nomico)-anxious (we've already got more money for education, so the ecological transition...), the candid optimists (we've already made a lot of effort and young people are taking over), the techno-solutionists (long live the green plane, or the future is on Mars!), the cognitive dissonants (I agree that we need to act, but the plane is still faster to travel!).
The book is organized around these profiles, accompanied by their little phrases, and opposite an appropriate response.
Humor is one of the best means of self-defense, and this book is full of it.
You'll find this book on the new releases display among a selection of documents (books and DVDs) celebrating European Sustainable Development Week.

New digital resource
A new digital resource has been added to the document center: Dicobat. What is Dicobat? Dicobat is an illustrated dictionary of building terminology. It's a reliable source that will make your work easier by providing reliable definitions.
Several search modes: by words and thousands of hyperlinks, by Themes, by your History, and now by illustrations thanks to VisuelBAT.
An example of a definition proposed by this resource:
Concrete floors.
The term refers to all types of floors with a rigid, load-bearing framework made of concrete.
| FR | concrete floor | ENG | concrete floor |

We distinguish :
- floor made of reinforced concrete slab reinforced concrete slab, reinforced and cast in situ, either on a formwork which will be removed after hardening by decanting, or on a lost formwork.
Its span does not exceed 4 m, and its thickness is at least 12 cm. Its periphery is embedded in load-bearing walls.

Cultural activities
Our participative puzzles have been a great success with users, so we've added some new ones to our collection. This time, it's the IGN map of Paris, scattered like a jigsaw puzzle, that we're inviting you to piece together. The principle remains the same: everyone is welcome. There's no need to spend hours, just put in 1, 2, 3 or more pieces.
It's a way of reconnecting with others by taking part in a collective activity while training your brain in a task that mobilizes many cognitive abilities. What better way to stimulate your ability to pay attention, concentrate, observe, think and remember.
