Access to data
An important part of geospatial data products from the MERN are now accessible through the Géoindex platform (click the "English" button at upper right corner).
If a MERN dataset is not available in Géoindex, please contact us at biblio@polymtl.ca to see if the Library has them or if it would be possible to get them.
In order to get the MERN products that are not in Géoindex, you will need to fill in the data access request form (in French only).
