CREDO REFERENCE
If you are brainstorming a topic to write about, or just need some background information on a topic, the CREDO Reference database provides access to millions of full text articles from hundreds of encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauri, and subject-specific titles, as well as over 50,000 images, audio files, and videos. You
RC568.O45 M33 2018
are able to conduct a basic and advanced search with keywords, titles, authors, as well as sort the results by relevance, length, and publication date. When you locate a topic of interest, Credo suggests related topics, related articles, images, and other databases you might want to search to gather additional information on your topic. A unique search feature of this database is a mind map (left). For example, searching the mind map for nursing allows users to discover additional topics. Clicking on any of these topics links to more topics, as well as linking back to the original mind map. In addition, you can
browse the database by title, topic pages, and mind maps. The title browse feature provides you with an A to Z list of all the publications in the database, but you are able to use the subject filter on the left side of the screen to quickly find all the titles in your field of interest. You can also browse by topic pages, then filter the topics by subject, which is an efficient way to receive suggestions for paper topics or background information before beginning a paper or presentation. When you find a topic of interest, you have the option to listen to the audio file, cite the article in APA, MLA, Chicago, or Harvard, or export the citation to several citation

management programs. Moreover, you can share the topic via email, embed the permalink into eClass, and translate the article into over 60 languages.
