Closing the book on library losses

Article Abstract:

Theft, fire, losses in transit - these are the primary means by which libraries lose valuable collections. Libraries can preempt these losses by implementing a risk management program that includes marine inland insurance. These policies valuate property not on the basis of gradual deterioration but on the basis of a library's mission. Risk management measures should include disaster preparedness and the selection of a document restoration firm in advance.

Placing underwriting back into agents' hands

Article Abstract:

Property casualty insurance agents are regaining the control over policy underwriting that they once enjoyed, now that computer networking, client server architecture and corporate downsizing are common occurrences. More powerful systems and software in the field of underwriting are providing functional support and control for agents, according to Charels C. Ashley, managing principal of Exemplar Consultants Ltd, Warwick, NY.
