Credo, a provider of information and digital literacy solutions for libraries, has announced that Literati Public has been named a finalist for the 2013 SIIA Content CODiE Awards for Best General Reference Service.
Serving as the pre-eminent awards programme for the software and information industries, the SIIA CODiE Awards have been honouring excellence for 27 years. This year's programme has 75 categories organised by industry focus in Content, Education and Software. Finalists in the Content categories represent the best products, technologies, and services created by or for media, publishers, and information services providers.
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. Its combination of innovative technology, engaging content and customised services promote digital and information literacy. More than 100 libraries have subscribed to Literati Public since it launched less than three months ago.
CODiE Award winners will be announced during a special luncheon on January 31 in New York City during the SIIA's annual flagship conference for information industry leaders, IIS 2013: Breakthrough.
