Product Highlights
Credo Reference
Credo Reference is a vast, full-text online reference service. The collection includes over three
million entries from more than 390 well-regarded titles from 60+ of the best reference publishers.
Credo's collection is intelligently integrated with millions of cross-references and contains
dictionaries, bilingual dictionaries, thesauri, encyclopedias, quotations and atlases, plus a wide
range of subject-specific titles covering everything from art to accountancy, science to Shakespeare,
and law to literature. Committed to continuous improvement, Credo recently launched an innovative
and enhanced interface that provides for seamless searching from Credo into your other library
resources, among many other new features.
Credo Reference offers three subscription options, Credo 100, Credo 250
and Credo Unlimited:
Credo 100
Credo 100 allows you to manage a collection of any 100 titles by selecting those that are most
preferable for your institution. Subscribers can then add and drop titles during the course of a
year. For instance, if a new title becomes available this new title can be swapped in to the
collection. Credo updates books as new editions become available from the publisher. If an updated
title is part of the Credo 100 collection, subscribers will automatically receive the latest edition.
Credo 250
Credo 250 option allows you to manage a collection of any 250 titles with the same flexibility and
free updates as the Credo 100.
Credo Unlimited
Credo Unlimited consists of all titles currently available (390+) and all new titles released during
the course of the subscription term. Once new titles are released, you would automatically have access
to these new titles. Credo updates books as new editions become available from the publisher; Credo
Unlimited subscribers automatically receive the latest edition.
All Credo Reference subscriptions are unlimited in-library and remote user access. In our ongoing
commitment to helping libraries get the most out of their subscription, Credo Reference provides MARC
records for all titles, free training webinars, user guides, and many other promoting tools and
capabilities.
