Credo has also released updates to seven existing Subject and Publisher Collections, including the popular Focus Medica Health Animation Collection and the Omnigraphics Health Reference Series. By embedding these high-quality reference collections in the award-winning Literati solution, libraries are able to build deep, specific e-book collections and combine authoritative content with innovative, customizable technology that links users of reference through to all of their library's resources. 

"While Literati is significantly more than a reference database, the scholarly reference content that comprises Literati's foundation is integral to its value as an information skills solution," said Carol Helton, Credo's Executive Vice President of Customer Solutions and Marketing.  "Credo gives librarians the tools that they need to extend the learning moment so users can develop critical information literacy skills while addressing their immediate information and research needs."
