Library Privileges

Fee payment members of the Library and Corporate Sponsors of the School of Risk Management are granted library research privileges detailed on this page for the duration of their membership.   If a patron identifies an item not found in our collection we will make a reasonable effort to provide access to that specific information.  To gain access to the Davis Library we ask that members and sponsors bring with them a company ID or letter of introduction from their organization each time they use the library:

  • Access to the library collections of 120,000 books and 300 current periodical subscriptions, and a variety of digital (online and CD-ROM) products. Members may now access our Davis Library Catalog online. 
  • Remote access to specific online databases through InsureAccess. Request access by sending an e-mail to davislibrary@stjohns.edu.
  • Members may now access a large number of business and humanities resources through the Davis Library online at St. John's Web site.  Access to these resources is limited to the Davis Library, Manhattan campus.
  • Access to extensive vertical files or articles, speeches, sample forms and policies on a wide range of insurance topics over the past ninety years.
  • Basic telephone reference and research services provided by a knowledgeable and responsive library staff (additional fees may apply).
