The Centre de ressources et d'informations sur les multimédias pour l'enseignement supérieur, commonly known by its acronym CERIMES, formerly Service du film de recherche scientifique (SFRS) and also known as SFRS-CERIMES, was a French statutory body that provided films and other media for use in higher education.
Filmmaker Hervé Lièvre was the first director of SFRS, from 1995, and continued in the position through its later transition to CERIMES.
The SFRS officially became CERIMES (Centre de ressources et d'informations sur les multimédias pour l'enseignement supérieur) with the publication, in the Journal officiel of 20 August 2005, several years after the change having been announced.
[8] Among other resources, SFRS-CERIMES held more than 500 online lectures of the University of All Knowledges [fr] (UTLS).
[9] It was also responsible for the resources known as Canal-U [fr] (a joint project by French universities, managed by CERIMES[10]), BibNum, and "Library Bookmarks" (Signets de la Bibliothèque nationale de France,[11] a service begun in 2004[12]).
