À compter du 6 février, nous devrons procéder à une interruption temporaire du dépôt de documents dans Papyrus, y compris les thèses et mémoires, le temps d’effectuer une migration de la plateforme vers le service de dépôt institutionnel canadien Scholaris. Le jeudi 6 février, le site sera inaccessible à partir de 7h00 et il sera de retour en fin d’après-midi. Par la suite, tout le contenu de Papyrus sera accessible durant les travaux qui devraient durer environ deux semaines. Pour toute question, contactez depot@bib.umontreal.ca -------- As of February 6, we will be temporarily suspending the deposit of documents in Papyrus, including theses and dissertations, while we migrate the platform to the Canadian institutional deposit service Scholaris.
