To strengthen and facilitate French research: this is the goal the Ministry of Higher Education and Research wants to achieve with its ISTEX project. France, along with the rest of the world, has faced huge price increases in the acquisition of academic electronic resources during the last decade, and its institutions are now finding it difficult to pay to access them. The Ministry has therefore decided to invest in an extensive electronic archives acquisition programme in order to give the academic and research community nationwide access to a very large corpus of data in all disciplines. This project will consist of two phases: acquisition of the archives themselves and the development of a single platform to host the data. This platform will offer seamless unique access to all the resources purchased and will provide a range of efficient services to researchers.
