Reference databases provider Credo Reference, US, has announced plans to serve Public Libraries with Literati Public, a new expression of its suite of Digital and Information Literacy solutions.
Literati Public, developed in close partnership with public librarians, is a customisable solution that promotes the mission of public libraries by combining Credo’s content with newly developed platform technology.
In the quest to find new ways to meet the demands of today's information user, Credo looked at key challenges and opportunities to offer more to public library patrons. Beyond its platform customisability, Literati Public offers libraries a broad collection of e-books tailored to the vast needs of public libraries and newly developed tools and services to help them promote their brand, events and outreach programmes and to extend their valuable services to the community.
Literati Public will help libraries to meet their goals in key areas including funding, community outreach, local school collaboration, digital literacy education, library marketing and promotion and usage of library resources.
Literati Public will be previewed at the upcoming ALA Annual conference in Anaheim, CA, in concert with Credo’s Amazing Stories from the Library contest. The solution will be available in October 2012.
