What's on?

Credo does a nice job supplying a weekly quiz via e-mail. They are promoting their 582 reference materials database. What I like best about the weekly quiz is the variety of resources used. When you go to the 'answers' link and check the citations, it's fascinating to read which reference source provided the facts! I learn something each week about how broad this resource has become.
