Linking to Content in Credo

You can share a link to an article in Credo by clicking on the "Page Link" button at the top-right of the screen. This will include the proxy and can be added to Blackboard.

Using Credo Content in Blackboard

How can Credo support your institution’s courses? Use our permalinking or embed functions (the Page Link (chain) icon in the top menu of every Credo page; see screenshot below) to add this Credo content to Blackboard, course guides, or subject guides:

  • Specific books or book lists, to use Credo titles as textbooks

Example: UC Merced has used our language-specific titles in their linguistics guide: http://libguides.ucmerced.edu/credo_linguistics

  • Topic Pages or entries, to define or provide an orientation to a specific subject
