2020 Credo Reference and Source platform changes

Follow

On January 7, 2020, the Credo Reference and Source platforms were refreshed, with a reimagined search experience that forefronts our user-favorite Mind Map function. We designed these changes in keeping with our vision of students starting their research with reference.

Rest assured that nothing changed about the content, Administrative functions, billing, contact info, or any other area not related to the user platform.

Changes to the Home Page

The Featured Topics area on the home page has been greatly expanded to help students browse and find new research topics. The featured videos now have an attractive screenshot rather than a single-color placard.
