Credo Reference offers a number of access options:

IP authentication
With IP authentication, you supply us with one or more IP addresses for your institution, and we set up access, using IP address checking to verify users from your institution. We recommend this option, as it enables us to provide you with detailed monthly usage reports that show how your patrons are using Credo Reference.

Remote access
We provide a range of authentication options that enable you to offer Credo Reference to your remote users. We'll work with you to ensure that your patrons or students can access Credo Reference from their homes, dorm rooms, or wherever you'd like.

Library card access
We can manage library card access to Credo Reference for your institution, at no additional cost to you. With library card authentication, home users can access Credo Reference using the library card login box on the login page.

Athens access
Credo Reference also provides access for users at institutions who use Athens authentication for electronic resources. There is a designated Athens login link on the Credo Reference login page.

Please contact us if you have any questions about our different access options.
