Something new this way comes

We have purchased access to Credo Reference with 266 full text reference works. Credo works like a database it is not like the books in NetLibrary (we just ordered Collection 7 for NetLibrary through Solinet).

Credo is available on campus through our catalog, through del.icio.us, through the Library MySpace, and through the blog. Off campus access is limited - you will need the password (ask the librarian).

Something helpful- each article in Credo has the citation information so you can give credit where credit is due:

citing Credo Reference

At the foot of every entry citations are provided in three popular formats.

1. The American Psychological Association (APA) recommends a citation format on their
Reference Examples for Electronic Source Materials web page, which is extracted from the 5th edition of APA's Publication Manual (© 2001).

2. The Modern Language Association (MLA) recommends a format in the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 6th edition, (© 2003).

3. The Chicago format is taken from the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition (© 2003).

While every effort has been made to follow the citation styles there may be minor discrepancies due to the necessities of online aggregated publishing.
