Credo Reference
|
Credo Reference is a good starting place for research. It offers a search engine similar to Google, but instead of searching the Internet, results come from a library of trusted reference sources without advertisements, clutter, or irrelevant hits. It can be described as a 'scholarly, peer-reviewed Wikipedia'.
Credo features full text content, including images, from over 500 reference books covering a broad range of subjects. Narrow the results by subject, entry type, media, person, and publication date. Search any topic or subject in Credo Reference content and continue the search in the Library Catalog and online databases from the Credo screen for additional information. Use Gadgets to answer short questions, get a definition, etc. |
