Information skills solutions provider Credo has announced Literati Academic's selection as a 2014 Choice Outstanding Academic Title. Choice's 2014 review emphasised the 'huge potential' for students and faculty and concluded that Literati Academic is 'highly recommended.'
Literati Academic is an online research platform and library teaching tool which offers point-of-need instruction and supports students' self-directed research. The world class reference content included in Credo's Academic Core Collection is paired with instructional videos and tutorials that are integrated and embedded into the platform.
Literati addresses several problems faced by students, librarians and professors alike. By making information discoverability more intuitive, librarians need to spend less time helping students find basic sources at the beginning of their research project. Professors can take a flipped learning approach and direct students to on-demand videos and tutorials to hone their research skills, rather than consuming valuable in-class time. Students can find and use tutorials while they are doing research, without logging in to another resource for help or instruction.
