Learning tips

A co-worker shared:

I took a webinar this morning that gave instructions on how to access and use Credo Reference,located both on our main website and on GALILEO. Credo has a huge database (400+) of reference resources focused on a wide selection of topics.

The organizers enjoy receiving feedback on ways to add or improve their title selection in case you notice something lacking in a certain area.

A couple of interesting tips I learned:


Credo is linked to our online catalogue and Encyclopedia Britannica.
.....To access this tab, type in a search word into Credo .
.....After reviewing the Credo hits, you may browse our catalogue or Britannica by selecting the search box on the right called “Continue searching in…”


 At the bottom of each article, students will find how to cite the material using the APA, Chicago, Harvard, or MLA format.

 Medical students would be interested in the Taber Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, which has a pronunciation feature.

I hope you find the information useful!

The password to access GALILEO from home is available from your Georgia librarian.
