Publisher Collection from CABI added to Credo Reference
Renowned agricultural subject encyclopedias to be available through Credo’s platform
Credo Reference, the award-winning online reference library, has signed an agreement to launch a new Publisher Collection from CABI. A whole set of CABI’s reference resources, never before available in electronic form, will be added soon to the completely customizable, full-text Credo Reference platform.
CABI is a non-profit international organization that seeks to improve people’s lives by providing information to solve problems in agriculture and the environment. CABI has been a leader in providing applied life science information and resources in material and electronic formats for over 100 years, but recognized that their subject encyclopedias and dictionaries needed a service like Credo’s to meet their full online potential.
This CABI Agricultural Collection on Credo will include all of CABI’s key subject encyclopedias and dictionaries devoted to the applied life sciences. They will be available by subscription or purchase on the Credo Reference platform.
Planned titles for the collection include:
- The Encyclopedia of Farm Animal Nutrition
- The Encyclopedia of Fruit & Nuts
- The Encyclopedia of Seeds: Science, Technology and Uses
- A Dictionary of Entomology
- Dictionary of the Fungi, 10th Edition
- Fungal Families of the World
- The Encyclopedia of Applied Animal Behavior and Welfare
“We’re pleased to add our CABI reference works to Credo Reference’s innovative service,” commented Andrea Powell, CABI Executive Director, Publishing. “Since we continuously work to meet the needs of researchers, professors, students and practitioners in the scientific areas where information is most needed, it was a logical step for us to add these titles to Credo Reference’s intuitive, user-friendly platform. Integrating our content with Credo will provide new context and connections for researchers worldwide.”
“CABI has a mission which is important to the whole world. My father devoted his career to public health including running an agricultural experiment station at the University of Maine in the 1920s and 30s,” added John Dove, Credo President. “So I’m both personally and professionally pleased that we can now have a role in making these excellent encyclopedias from CABI broadly and effectively available worldwide.”
