Library adds CREDO Reference Databas
e
Rapid electronic convenience with accuracy and focus

Chadwick Library has recently added a new database to it's growing collection. CREDO Reference is a full-text cross disciplinary database loaded with nearly 300 respected reference books that cover nearly every major subject. Credo Reference offers a seamless interface and acts as a portal to a multitude of highly regarded reference resources that include images, video and audio clips, flash animations, maps and charts and illustrations. Credo is also available remotely to IWC students, faculty and staff.

One very unique feature is the concept map option. This visually represents a topic and it's related sub-topics as they relate to a variety of disciplines. This kind of map can assist students in narrowing or expanding their ideas for papers.




Take a look at Credo and try it out for yourself! You can access it here: http://www.credoreference.com/search.jsp
If you need assistance, please contact a reference librarian at X6318.
