Credo Reference, the award-winning online reference library, has signed an agreement with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to integrate the OECD Factbook 2010 into the Credo collection. This is the first OECD title to be made available on Credo.

The OECD Factbook 2010 is a key reference tool in economic and policy issues. The most comprehensive and dynamic statistical annual from the OECD, it contains extensive information, as well as graphs and tables for more than 100 indicators covering a wide range of areas. Topics include economy, agriculture, education, energy, environment, foreign aid, health and quality of life, industry, communications, population, trade, and taxation. With the new agreement, the Factbook’s content will now be accessible and completely cross-searchable by researchers worldwide, within Credo’s collection of more than 440 titles.

“We’re very pleased to incorporate this key OECD resource into the Credo Reference platform,” commented Toby Green, Head of OECD Publishing. “Since Credo has such an extensive global reach, integrating the OECD Factbook’s statistics and content into Credo will provide new connections and context for researchers worldwide.”

“It’s great to be adding another content-rich title to our offerings, and at the same time to welcome OECD to the Credo family of over 70 publishers,” added John G. Dove, Credo Reference President. “Credo Reference very carefully chooses the titles we incorporate into our service to be sure we provide balance in every subject area. This OECD title helps enhance the economic and political science areas of our service.”
