Introducing Credo Reference

Our librarians found a data base that was so good and so affordable that we couldn’t pass it up.  It’s called Credo Reference and what we’re actually getting is 100 reference books in their entirety!!  This is extra over and above what you’ll find on the “Online Research” page…  And remember, none of this information will be found on Google.  And it’s all free for you to use in the library, from your home, or even while you’re on vacation!

We’ll be publishing additional features in future posts on the web page and will hold a training class.  For now, take a look, do some fun research (no, that’s not an oxymoron!) and indulge your sense of adventure and your love of learning.
