Abstract
Describes how in 1989 the Institut de l′Information Scientifique et Technique of the French Centre Nationale de Recherche moved its scientific and technical activities from Paris to Nancy. Discusses how the library staff prepared a large collection of periodicals, dissertations, research reports and congress proceedings located on three different sites for moving to a single site; how they came up with a theoretical model which led to a moving schedule. Finally, tells of the actual move.
