About this title

Synopsis

The insurance industry is among the most highly regulated industries today, and literature on the field is a complex thicket of sources. Compiled by a team of specialist business librarians, this valuable, one-of-a-kind resource is a comprehensive guide to locating and using information resources about the insurance industry. Pointing researchers, practitioners, faculty and students of business administration, law firms, and anybody interested in researching the insurance industry to the most relevant information, each chapter contains an annotated list of specific print and digital sources, plus explanations on how to make best use of sometimes-forbidding technical materials.
