About
The Partnenariat des bibliothèques universitaires du Québec (PBUQ), unveiled by the Bureau de coopération interuniversitaire (BCI) in October 2019, is a partnership between 18 universities in Quebec to provide its scholarly community with three new digital platforms, including a Shared Services Platform (SSP). PBUQ has since become a separate entity as of September 1, 2023.
Sofia, the SSP, is a bilingual catalogue consolidating the collections of all 18 partner institutions that provides Concordia Library users with access to more than 20 million items and serves as a single portal for searching, accessing and requesting material across the member universities.
In addition to Sofia, the partnership has created two digital platforms, Géoindex and Dataverse.
More information is available on the PBUQ website.
