Cowles Library Drake University

Cowles Library has a new database! CREDO Reference

CREDO contains a variety of reference sources in subjects ranging from Art to History to Law to Technology and almost everything in between.

According to Library Journal "This online platform provides both Google’s swift, electronic convenience and an accuracy and focus that the search engine’s web-scouring mechanisms cannot deliver. It is a portal to a multitude of highly regarded reference sources, drawing on 244 titles by 55 publishers and providing access to tens of thousands of images and audio clips."

Be sure to check out the "Concept Map." This is great for students who are having trouble coming up with a paper topic.

In addition, every entry has a static URL so the content can easily be included in online classroom environments such as Blackboard, or emailed to students.

Please use this versatile new resource!
