Use the library from your PC

Following on from a successful trial, the Profession’s libraries can now give members access to a range of electronic resources direct from their PCs, using the portal know as ‘Athens’ which is also used by many academic institutions.

Full text of articles in the following journals is now available, and new resources are regularly added:

• Annals of Actuarial Science (AAS)
• Applied Mathematical Finance
• Benefits 
• British Actuarial Journal (BAJ)
• Economic and Social Data Services (ESDS)
• Geneva Papers on Risk & Insurance
• Journal of Asset Management 
• Journal of Financial Services Marketing 
• Journal of Pension Economics & Finance 
• Journal of Risk & Insurance 
• Journal of Risk and Uncertainty 
• Journal of Social Policy 
• Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C (Applied Statistics) 
• JSTOR Mathematics & Statistics, Business, and Arts & Sciences collections (around 200 separate titles)
• Pensions: an international journal
• Risk Management & Insurance Review
• Significance
• The Actuaries’ Survival Guide (E-book)

92.6% of members who participated in the trial recommended setting up the service on a permanent basis, and 88.9% found the portal easy to use.

Members who participated in the trial commented:

'Athens is a great service that massively increases my ability to find and read relevant academic finance literature.'

'This is a very useful service, I thoroughly recommend maintaining it.'
