Literati by Credo is Decidedly Different

According to the Library Journal review posted in May, Literati is not a database of content, but rather a suite of services that go beyond information discovery to:

  • Extend to information literacy
  • Include pre assessment and post assessment information literacy testing
  • Provide opportunities for customization of the interface, assessment goals, and general library marketing materials
  • Make available attractive search tools such as image search, quotations, pronunciations, location search, etc.
  • Allow for creating or customizing videos based on the needs of the institution
  • Afford Library Guides which can be mixed with librarian created guides to help students in specific courses or majors
  • Supply training materials for library staff

The collaborative and consultative aspects of the Literati service allows libraries to access first class expertise in marketing their institution and resources while facilitating information discovery of the library’s entire collection of resources.
