Credo Reference Topic Pages

Have you used these Yet? Why not start today?

Topic Pages are Credo Reference’s approach to organizing and presenting information resources. They are a dynamic “one stop shop” where you can find much of what your library has on any one topic. Topic Pages aggregate information from Credo Reference, your other library databases and the open web, all on one screen.


There are close to 10,000 Topic Pages live on the Credo Reference platform. They are a place where you can find information from many of your library resources, all on one Topic, all on one screen. There are three ways to find Topic Pages on Credo Reference:


1.  Keyword Search: Place a term in the search box and click ‘search’. If a Topic Page matches your search term, it will be listed first on your results page, under the Heading ‘Topic Pages’
2. Topic Browse: Click ‘Find a Topic Page’ in the top tool bar to be brought to two options. Browse our full list of Topic Pages by subject or view an alphabetical list:
3. Related Topic Pages: On the Topic Page itself, you will see a tag cloud on the right hand side of the screen below the images. These links all point to Topic Pages related to the Topic Page you are currently exploring. Click the link to be brought to that Topic Page.

Try this out. You won't be disappointed. If you need further help, come to the library and talk with the library staff.


Find Credo Reference on the library page list of databases.
