UMass Lowell Libraries has added Credo Reference as a new online resource.
Credo Reference is an award-winning online database that allows users the ability to search across hundreds of reference titles from over 70 different publishers covering every major topic, including art, medicine, history, technology, literature and more. Overall, the collection contains over 3 million entries; 200,000 audio pronunciation files; 40,000+ art, science, and medical images; and 90,000 atlas images of places and geographic features throughout the world, all fully integrated and intelligently cross-linked.
For the next two months all of Credo’s 479 reference works will be fully available for UML users. Beginning in June, however, the UML subscription will be limited to following 100 selected reference titles:
