Using Credo Reference
Suggested Prerequisite Modules:
- Library Web Page
Recommended Exercises:
- Provide students with a topic or have them come up with their own.
- What is your topic?
- Search your topic in Credo Reference and provide bibliographic enteries for one reference article, one diagram, and one media piece.
Credo Reference is an online database of general reference works provided by Shelton State.
To get to Credo Reference:
- From the library's main web site, select eResources from the tiled menu or the left-hand menu.
- Select Credo Reference from the list.
- You will need your MyShelton credentials to use this resource.
Searching Credo Reference will provide you with reference book articles, diagrams, artwork, video and audio clips, mind maps, and other resouces related to your topic. Searching is easy.
Credo also provides their own video content to illustrate the full functions of the tools they provide. Once you are logged in to Credo Reference, scroll to the bottom of the page and there will be a rotating menu of resources that are tool-specific.
Two important points:
- If you are planning to share an item, be sure to use the share option and not the URL from the address bar, which will expire.
- The works cited options contain all of the information you will need to make a citation; however, check the suggested option against whatever resource your instructor wants you to use for citation. There may be some slight differences and your instructor is always right.
