Credo Reference or Credo (formerly Xrefer) is an American company that offers online reference content by subscription and partners with libraries to develop information-literacy programs or produce library marketing plans and materials.[1] Founded in 1999, Credo Reference provides full-text online versions of over 3,500 published reference works from more than 100 publishers in a variety of major subjects.[2] These include general and subject dictionaries as well as encyclopedias.[3] The company's customers are libraries, library systems, k-12 schools, and universities, which subscribe to the service for their patrons' use.[4]
In 2010, a review of general reference sources by Library Journal focused on Credo Reference and three similar services.[5] The review noted Credo Reference's internal linking within the site from one reference work to another.
