For their research Parsons Paris students have access to the Resource Library and other university resources, as well as the many research institutions of Paris. Students and faculty can borrow books from the Bibliothèques de la ville de Paris (Paris public libraries) after registering for a library card. Students and faculty can also conduct research at the Bibliothèque Forney (BnF), which specializes in decorative arts and design. Business resources and research assistance can be found at the François-Mitterrand branch of the BnF. Graduate students can also use the branch’s quiet reading room for reading and thesis writing.
