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

Website of the day

Each day during website week we will recommend a website of the day within a specific subject area, hopefully covering the full range of subjects offered at DBS across the week.

To start off website week we're focusing on general reference sites, so there should be something here for everyone.

Todays website of the day is...
