Knowledge is power. Continuously updating knowledge or skills can help people in both their professional and personal life. Libraries play a fundamental role in learning. The resources and services they offer create opportunities for learning and education. In a world without libraries, it would be difficult to advance and research human knowledge. Libraries also maintain history.
To advance it objectives, the Academy has decided to establish a world-class library dedicated to insolvency and related areas. Proposed as the largest library of insolvency publications in Asia, the library will serve the growing need of country’s academics, scholars, students and researchers.
It has been decided to name the library as Terry Taylor Asian Library of Insolvency Publications, after Late Terry Wayne Taylor to honour and recognise his invaluable contributions in the field of insolvency.
The Academy is thankful to Terry Taylor’s daughters, Tarni and Jai, for supporting this dedication by the Academy to their father.
Terry was a partner of one of Australia’s leading firms, Ferrier Hodgson. His involvement in the profession included acting as President of the IPA (Insolvency Practitioners Association of Australia), now ARITA, sitting on national and state committees of the IPA for many years and sitting on the board of INSOL International and its Executive Committee. Terry was honored as a life member of the IPA. For many years, Terry was the editor of the published Australian Insolvency Management Practice CCH, which became the bible of insolvency practice in Australia. He was also a regular speaker at conference within Australia and around the world.
