Credo's Research Tool Now Includes New Accessibility, Mobile Updates

New updates to Credo’s research tool, Online Reference Service, are making it easier for smartphone and tablet users to search for materials.

The mobile retooling was part of a broader set of aesthetic and functionality changes. Also added: a new accessibility feature that reads passages aloud and a translation tool that allows topic pages and corresponding entries to be viewed in dozens of languages. Topic pages themselves also got a new look, a redesign that was designed to make the 10,000-plus pages easier to navigate.

The tool, designed to aid in research from K-12 to academia, provides access to materials from more than 100 publishers by subject and grade level.
