The Knowledge Bank
The Knowledge Bank is where Institute Members can search The Knowledge Centre’s online resources. It offers a wealth of information that is now available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are a number of online services which are only available to our members such as the Library Catalogue, Business Intelligence Service, Company Profiles and World Newspapers Today.
The Library Catalogue
The Library Catalogue provides an easy way of connecting to The Knowledge Centre’s stock of printed information. Members can search over 45,000 sources of reference from the Institute’s own specialist logistics, supply chain and transport library, using an email facility to request items for loan, the photocopying of journal articles, or to find further information.
