We have blogged about Credo before, but if you're new to study, this database is definitely worth adding to your research toolkit.
Credo is an online, full text reference library which includes encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauri and books of quotations, as well as subject specific titles from art, to literature, to law. It's a great place to find definitions and gain an overview of a topic. For example, a search for "climate change" will return a list of subject-specific sources (science, history, geography, tourism etc) that you can choose from according to your research focus.

Results can be filtered by subject, media, date and even length. Some searches link to a Topic Page that curates relevant resources from a range of source types, while others include a Concept Map that you can use to find related topics to refine or expand your research. Audio, citation, print/export, email, and translation tools are located at the top of each article.
Credo also has its own suite of short online videos called Research Quick Tips, which cover topics such as How to Find Relevant Sources, How to Avoid Bias in Your Searches, and Using Pre-research to Understand Your Topic.
You can find Credo by clicking on the Databases tab on the library homepage, entering Credo in the search box and selecting it from the results menu.
