The CATI Centre offers training in methods of information retrieval combined with degree courses at all levels:

  After obtaining a government agreement in 1995 "Training in information skills", CATI is project manager for an interuniversity programme accepted by the Minister as part of the "Digital Campus 2001" scheme (this has been extended since by "Digital Campus 2002"), which aims to promote information literacy "Réseaux.doc".

A reference system of skills in information retrieval at all university levels has been drawn up and was presented at the National Education in Information Skills Conference (March 2003).

  In line with the measures concerning the new organisation of French university diplomas (LMD), which emphasises that research units should support training at Masters and Doctorate level, seminars and conferences related to electronic documents include both theory and practical work in computing workshops. CATI also contributes during Doctoral open days organised by Doctoral schools. "Civilisations, Cultures, Literature et Societies".

  CATI continues to put research-aid documents and additional electronic course material online. Its Internet site presents the centre's hypermedia publications (methods of document analysis), together with its methodology notes developed in collaboration with the Joint Library Services.

  The Centre's activities are supported by the numerous electronic resources made available to its researchers, thanks to its database subscriptions (LION, The Grove Dictionary of Art, Scottish Cultural Resources Access Network, JSTOR, PCIFT, ProjectMuse) and user training guide.
