Multidisciplinary: Credo Reference Brings Entire Reference Collection Online
Credo Reference is now a part of RIT library's online reference collection. Credo Reference features full-text content from hundreds of reference books covering a broad range of subjects. There are over 2 million entries, 65,000+ images (art, diagrams, maps and photos), and over 93,000 audio pronunciation files. The content is enriched by a network of cross-reference links that cut across topics, titles and publishers to give you accurate, contextual results.
It's a search engine like Google, but instead of searching the entire Internet, your results come from a comprehensive library of trusted reference sources without advertisements, clutter, or irrelevant hits.
Current titles include Marquis Who's Who, The Concise Encyclopedia of Science and Technology by McGraw Hill, The Encyclopedia of Computer Science, The Computer Graphics Companion, The Capstone Encyclopedia of Business, 3 great new literature titles from Continuum, 4 great new American History Reader's Companion titles from Houghton Mifflin, and many more!
Some of the unique features of Credo Reference:
- Hundreds of images and audio files. You can prioritize your search results to view those with images or audio files, or rank results by relevancy or length.
- Find topic ideas for papers or research projects using Concept Map, a visual map that displays the connections between search results and topics in an interactive format.
- Access statistical international or census data that you can customize and export. The CIA World Factbook and The US Census 2000 State and County QuickFacts feature customizable and interactive tables that allow you to add columns to compare data, sort by column, and export and chart tables.
- Cite your information easily? You can select APA, MLA or Chicago style for any entry viewed. Credo Reference will format the citation for you!
- E-mail an entry to a friend. You can email an entry to any other Credo Reference subscriber with one click.
