Credo Reference Brings Online Reference to Federal Libraries at a Discount
Boston and Oxford, May 27, 2009 – Credo Reference, provider of customizable online reference collections, is pleased to announce a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with the Federal Library and Information Network (FEDLINK), to provide its online service to participating US federal libraries at a discount (Credo Reference Service ID: CD; BOA LC09G7107, subject to renewal, for the period ending 9/30/2013).
FEDLINK acts as a purchasing and resource-sharing consortium for federal libraries and information centers. With this new agreement, participating institutions are eligible for discounted pricing on subscriptions to Credo’s vast collection of cross-searchable entries, all on one innovative and enhanced interface that also provides seamless searching from Credo into other library resources.
Credo Reference, with over three million cross-referenced entries from over 415 titles and 63 publishers, has been recognized throughout the market with starred reviews, awards and other kudos for providing great value to libraries of every kind. Described as an “expert tool for any library,” the service was recently included in both Library Journal’s “Best of Reference 2008” feature and the prestigious annual New York Library Association’s (NYLA) “Best of Reference 2008” list. Credo also earned the highest scores of all the resources evaluated in Library Journal’s 2009 E-Reference Ratings and was the only one of the 193 resources that received four-star ratings in every category.
