Library & Information Service

The ICAEW Library & Information Service offers a range of services and resources to support chartered accountants in all aspects of their work.

The Library & Information Service is located in the Business Centre at Chartered Accountants' Hall. However, you don't need to visit the library in person to get the most from the service – we offer a wide range of resources online and our enquiry team is ready to answer your questions wherever you are.

If you have any difficulties locating the information you need, please contact the enquiry team by telephone on +44 (0)20 7920 8620, by email at library@icaew.com or via live web chat.
