Oxford and Boston, 20th January 2010 – Credo Reference, the award winning
online reference library, has now enabled access to databases from H.W.
Wilson, the reference publisher that has been providing key resources to
researchers for more than 112 years. Mutual customers of Credo Reference and
WilsonWeb will now be able to link to the renowned WilsonWeb databases from
Credo Topic Pages via a Z39.50 search.
The range of H.W. Wilson’s reference databases, covering a wide variety of
subject disciplines with indexing of periodicals, books, art, cinema images
and biographies, can now be integrated with Credo Topic Pages, which were
designed to provide contextualized, 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.
Libraries that include the additional content will now see their subscribed
to WilsonWeb collections right on the Topic Pages.
A leading supplier of well-reviewed information resources to libraries and
their patrons, H.W. Wilson publishes high-quality reference works delivered
through WilsonWeb, its powerful Internet-based information retrieval and
organization system offering a user-friendly interface and features designed
specifically with the search needs of library patrons and staff in mind.
“The Credo Topic Pages provide a starting place for researchers, and we’re
pleased that the extensive WilsonWeb content will now be even more visible
for those users, due to our relationship with Credo Reference,” commented
Deborah Loeding, H.W. Wilson, Sales & Marketing Vice President “H.W.
Wilson’s quality indexing will now be accessible to more researchers than
ever before.”
“H.W. Wilson has been at the forefront of publishing ever since they were
founded in 1898,” added Mike Sweet, Credo Reference CEO. “Including their
respected content on our Credo Topic Pages was a logical way for us to
assist the researchers who use the Topic Pages as a starting point and to
create additional value for the libraries that provide those resources.”
