RAD NEW REFERENCE TOOL: CREDO

Hello comrades on the research quest. SMFA is pleased to add another resource to your academic toolbox: Credo Reference. Credo Reference is going to be your new best friend when you're looking for articles, scholarly essays and art images. It's especially great in the beginning of your research process, when you're making initial connections.


Go to SMFA Subjects Plus, and you will find Credo Reference on the main page, under the Electronic Databases tab.


Things that are rad about Credo Reference:


1. It links to all the other rad databases we subscribe to at SMFA, like JSTOR, ARTSTOR, Gale, Proquest, etc.


2. It has an easy to use, super comprehensive search function.


3. Um, Concept Maps?!



Type in any key word, and you get an interactive concept map. Click on any word on the map, and it will reorient itself, branching off new, more in-depth references. You could spend hours playing with this thing.


Happy researching!
