New Resource: Credo Reference

We are pleased to announce a new addition to our stable of electronic resources: Credo General Reference 100 (or Credo Reference as we'll simply call it).  As the name may suggest to you, this is a general reference resource  that includes encyclopedias, atlases, dictionaries, bilingual dictionaries and subject-specific works (there's a title list here and we'll try and add the title list to the library catalogue).  It's like having 100 subject-specific Encyclopaedia Britannicas online. Ok, perhaps that's a wee bit of exaggeration there, but we hope it will prove useful.  A link for on-campus access can be found above or on the e-library page of the library website.  We'll sort out off-campus links shortly, which will probably be through Athens and perhaps Moodle.

Trial: Credo Reference

Another resource trial for DBS Library users: Credo Reference is an online reference resource providing full-text online versions of nearly 1200 published reference works from more than 70 publishers in every major subject, including general and subject dictionaries, thesauri, encyclopaedias, quotations and atlases. Plus a wide range of subject-specific titles covering everything from the arts to accountancy, science to Shakespeare and law to literature. The trials consists of all resources in the General Reference collection as well as the Business Subject collection (so science, Shakespeare, law and literature may only be a bit of alliterative hyperbole) You know the score: on-campus only. This post will be edited to contain the trial end date Credo Reference
