Press Release – Credo Reference adds IGI Global Publisher Collection
Boston and Oxford, (November 30, 2009) – Credo Reference, the award-winning online reference library, has signed an agreement to launch an IGI Global Publisher Collection. Many of the most popular and highly acclaimed IGI Global information technology and computer science titles will be available soon through the innovative Credo Reference platform.
This newest Publisher Collection from Credo will provide libraries with the option of purchasing access to the IGI Global resources in one of two ways: as an annual subscription or for purchase. Users will experience IGI Global’s content as a fully integrated part of the esteemed Credo Reference experience, or as a standalone database for those libraries that don’t also subscribe to other Credo Reference products. Planned titles for the collection include such resources as:
• Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, second edition
• Handbook of Research on E-Learning Methodologies for Language Acquisition
• Cyber-Security and Global Information Assurance: Threat Analysis and Response Solutions
• Handbook of Research on Digital Libraries: Design, Development and Impact
• Encyclopedia of Mobile Computing and Commerce
“IGI Global strives to provide the most up-to-date content related to all aspects of emerging information technology innovations, technologies and applications, covering all areas of information science and technology in business, engineering, education and social science,” commented Dr. Mehdi Khosrow-Pour, IGI Global President and Publisher. “Adding our key titles to Credo Reference’s intuitive, user-friendly platform made perfect sense to us. Now even more researchers will have access to our authoritative content through Credo’s innovative service.”
“It’s a big step for Credo to now have such extensive reference titles from IGI Global on information technology and management, many of them positively reviewed by Choice as either Recommended or Highly Recommended,” added John Dove, Credo President. “In such a quickly changing field we look forward to many more titles from IGI Global in the future.”
