Credo Reference Blog

Credo Reference, the award winning online reference library, recently signed an agreement to integrate a key glossary of computing from BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT into the Credo General Reference collection.

The BCS Glossary of Computing and ICT is an international bestselling guide to computer terms. Now in its 12th edition, and containing over 3,000 terms arranged by theme and defined in context, the Glossary is fully indexed and cross-referenced throughout.

“We’re very pleased to integrate this bestselling guide into Credo Reference”, said Elaine Boyes, Head of Publishing at BCS. “Credo’s unique technology is particularly well suited to this sort of title, where look-up capabilities and cross referencing are so valuable. It is a testament to the wide range of interests and substantial expertise of our members who are at the forefront of enabling the information society and the IT profession that the Institute has been able to contribute in this way. We are delighted that this resource will be included in a dynamic and intuitive online resource.”

John Dove, President of Credo Reference said, “We are delighted that BCS has chosen to add this great computing glossary to Credo’s platform. This title will add depth and clarity to our computing coverage, and breadth to Credo’s content in general, which currently contains over three million cross-searchable entries from over 70 publishers.”
