The Library Journal staff polled a group of librarians and Library Journal reviewers to choose the “best” of 2011
Best Overall Database
Credo Reference
Credo; www.credoreference.com
Looking for material from the Library of Congress? Elsevier? Edinburgh University Press? Credo Reference hosts more than 550 reference titles from those and other respected houses. Some librarians say the best are the database’s “Topic Pages” gathering materials by subject, which adds accessibility options to a resource that the considered awesome to begin with. Others nominated the collection for “Best Integration of Media” and “Best Integration of External Content.”
They also praised Credo’s Mind Map feature for narrowing and broadening topics, helping students to visualize their topic and identify keywords. The upcoming Credo literati is an information literacy add-on that includes subject-specific tutorials and videos, customization that reflects the language an institution uses for information literacy instruction, pre- and postassessment surveys, and library marketing programs.
Go to the library page section, "Research Databases" to use Credo Reference and any of our other databases.
