CREDO is a user-friendly reference source geared to students to help them get background information on their topic. It consists mostly of shorter encyclopedia articles but also has some in-depth summaries.
CREDO recently revamped its platform. Learn more about the platform upgrade.
Credo Reference is here!
Credo Reference is an easy-to-use tool to jump start your research process.Cambridge Histories and Caribbean Lit
Starting off 2010 with a bang, we have two new resources: Cambridge Histories Online and Alexander Street’s Caribbean Literature. Off-campus access is now available.
Cambridge Histories Online consists of Cambridge University Press’s reference titles in history. The collection is both browseable and searchable.
Caribbean Literature (Alexander Street) is primary text material and covers the 19th and 20th centuries. Users can explore this by specific Caribbean island or region.
New subject guide for annotated bibliographies
An annotated bibliography research guide has been added to the library’s collection of subject guides.
Librarian subject specialists compile subject guides on topics relevant to the City Tech curricula. Faculty, if you would like to request that a subject guide be created for your department, please contact the subject specialist for your department or discipline.
