Online reference library Credo Reference has announced a new partnership with the Northeast Research Libraries consortium (NERL) to provide member libraries with access to Credo’s General Reference and Publisher and Subject Collections services at a discount.
The Northeast Research Libraries Consortium was organised in 1996 to jointly license and deploy significant files or collections of electronic materials. Anchored at Yale University, the NERL member institutions are all members of the Association of Research Libraries, an organisation composed of the principal research libraries in the US and Canada. With this new agreement, students and faculty at participating libraries can access a collection of highly regarded reference titles, selected by the library to meet the needs of their institution.
The University of Maryland was among the first group of institutions to take advantage of the NERL discount, selecting both the Publisher Collection and the General Reference services.
The Northeast Research Libraries consortium core membership comprises 28 academic research libraries with the common objectives of access and cost containment, joint licensing, and possible joint deployment of electronic resources. NERL also offers a forum in which members can share information about management and budgeting for electronic resources.
