Abstract
During her thirty years at the Bibliothèque Nationale (BN), Suzanne Briet
(1894–1989) made important theoretical, organizational, and institutional
contributions to the documentation movement in France. This article attempts
to place her documentation work within the context of the far-reaching
reform of French libraries, with special attention to the transformation
of the BN. Like her colleagues in special libraries, Briet embraced modernity
and science. Because of her strong orientation toward humanistic
scholarship, however, she viewed documentation service and bibliographic
orientation as an enhancement rather than a rejection of the scholarly
traditions of the national library. This article will focus on her efforts to
integrate the innovative ideas of the documentation movement into the
practice of librarianship at the Bibliothèque Nationale.
