More details about the offers:

Option 1: For WiLS Members Currently Subscribing to Credo Products
WILS members can now benefit from a 30% discount when purchasing $2,500 or more of digital content.

ADDED BONUS:  You will lock in a flat renewal rate for your Credo Online Reference Service subscription!  With a purchase of $2,500 (before discount), lock in your renewal rate for one year or spend $4,500 (before discount) and lock in two years at your current subscription rate.

Simply provide Credo with a spreadsheet containing the title, publisher, and ISBN for all print reference titles you wish to replace with exact or similar electronic titles and they will make the migration an easy and painless process.

Option 2: For WiLS Members Currently Subscribing to Credo Products
In order to best meet your library’s digital reference needs, Credo is offering WILS members an evidence-based acquisition opportunity.  Select four (4) subject areas that align with key campus growth disciplines or majors, and after six months, Credo will help you assess the titles having the highest usage. You’ll purchase only the content that is utilized by your students and faculty.

The content you purchase also comes at a 30% discount!  Here’s how it works:

  • Credo will invoice your library $5,000, and you select content from four (4) subject areas for your trial. The content includes hundreds of titles from the world’s foremost reference publishers, all full-text and fully searchable on your Credo platform.
  • At the end of 6 months, you then choose $7,150 worth of high-performing content (this takes your 30% content discount into account).
  • ADDED BONUS: Participating in this trial also triggers a two-year flat renewal rate for your Credo Online Reference Service subscription.
