Abstract

Digital audio, video and photo have become an operationnal service and a reality very appreciated by users, at the Bibliothéque nationale de France since the 20th of December 1996, date of its opening to general public.

In December, in the Audiovisual Room of the General Public level, readers could consult on 45 audiovisual workstations digitized audiovisual materials including 120 hours of video (documentaries), 250 hours of audio (interviews and music), and 50 000 photos. The increase of these digitalized collections will be possible until the full capacity of servers : 300 hours for video, 500 hours for audio, and 300 000 photos.

In this communication, we describe the reasons why the Bibliothéque nationale de France chose a digital system to communicate a part of its audiovisual collections ; the stages of setting up this audiovisual system, and the first lessons to glean after 6 months in service.
