Acubase, bibliographic database on acupuncture
In 1980, the Nîmes University Medical Library received 48 acupuncture periodicals and around 50 acupuncture theses and dissertations written in France from Professor Jean Bossy. This initial collection was supplemented by a donation of 250 works from the AFERA (French Association for the Study and Research of Acupuncture). Thus was born a collection of acupuncture works that is unique in France.
The issue of cataloging all these works quickly arose. That is why, thanks to the collaboration between Professor Jean Bossy, volunteer members of AFERA, acupuncture students, and the Nîmes University Medical Library, the acupuncture database Acubase was created, followed by its Thesaurus.
Today, the collection continues to grow thanks to new acquisitions of books, e-books, subscriptions to print and electronic periodicals, their analysis, conference proceedings, and the production of student work related to acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.
