Oxford and Boston, 24th June 2010 - Credo Reference, the award winning
online reference library, is now partnering with ebraryR, a leading provider
of digital content products and technologies, to provide a user-friendly
customisation option for the new Credo Topic Pages.
Credo Reference users will now be able to research ebrary's extensive e-book
content directly from the Credo Topic Pages. Designed to provide
contextualised, orderly access to authoritative content, each of the
approximately 9,000 Credo Topic Pages is a starting point that assembles
topical material from resources within and outside the library. Now,
libraries that include the additional content will see their ebrary
collection on Topic Pages, customised to their library.
Founded in 1999, ebrary offers academic libraries, corporations, public
libraries and other organizations more than 170,000 full-text e-books from
over 425 leading publishers under subscription, perpetual access and
usage-based models. ebrary is the first e-book vendor to be included in the
Credo Topic Pages.
"We are pleased that our partnership with Credo Reference will make
authoritative content even more visible and accessible to users of the
library's resources," commented Leslie Lees, Vice President of Content
Development at ebrary. "The Credo Topic Pages help researchers by providing
a starting place for their study, and with ebrary's powerful technology for
finding, using and managing information online, their research will be both
easier and more thorough than ever before."
"Since a key Credo goal is to unlock the full value of what the library has
to offer, this partnership with ebrary was a natural step for us," added
Mike Sweet, Credo Reference CEO. "The Credo Topic Pages, with the ebrary
content included, are just one more way to create value for both the
libraries and the researchers who are using its resources."
