Credo Reference update

In early August, Credo Reference will introduce the new version of its service. Credo will include these new features:
  • Faceted browsing - Refine searches by subject, person, location, type of content, and entries with images, animations or audio.
  • Possible links directly from Credo to our catalogue.
  • Multilingual interface options
  • Improved concept mapping and visual search
  • Saving and exporting results and citations - including to external tools like RefWorks
I have instructions on how to log into the beta version of the new Credo. If anyone is interested in taking a look at it, please let me know and I will forward you the instructions. Also, we will be looking at all these new database interfaces and functionality at the September staff meeting.
