May was quite the international month for Credo Reference as our geographically diverse employees traveled to various conferences around the world.
Anne Kail, our Oxford-based Sales Manager, recently attended the Scottish Libraries Conference.

Credo sponsored places for Sean and Rebecca, as well as the CILIPS competition winner, Annette Ramsden from University of Aberdeen, to attend the Scottish Libraries Annual Conference. When asked for his thoughts about Credo, Sean had this to say: “there is so much information coming from a variety of sources and too much of it is unreliable. In a society that strives to be Information literate a source like Credo stands out due to its quality and its variety of titles and publishers. The service is user friendly with excellent cross referencing and a concise format making it ideal for library users to use independently or for library staff to access on library user’s behalf. Superb value for money!”
Anne also attended the Wales Libraries Conference, in Llandrindod Wells. Patricia Perkins, from Swansea Libraries, was the winner of a £25 Marks & Spencers voucher and says “thank you for showing me around your brilliant site.”
Jenny Walker attended a “Speed Dating” event sponsored by SANLiC and held in Pretoria, South Africa. This event allowed librarians to visit with many different vendors, each for a short period of time. The format seemed to please both attendees and vendors allowing for many productive conversations to take place over the course of the day.

Lisa Hill and Heather Blaine attended the Canadian Library Association 2009 annual meeting in Montreal, Quebec. The conference presented a great opportunity to speak with current subscribers about new content and platform enhancements, meet librarians interested in learning more about Credo and to sample a local delicacy, Poutine.
Some of the delicious poutine that Heather and Lisa enjoyed!
