One of the Insurance Library’s goals is to be the best source of information and knowledge for the industry. We have a large collection of insurance-focused reference materials at the Library, including databases, trade journals, statistics, and historical manuals and policy forms.
That information is only part of what’s needed to keep informed on the industry though. With change happening at such a rapid pace, it’s important to follow the very latest news and trends.
