Credo Reference contains a large collection of the types of reference books you need to conduct background research. Start your research with Credo to define unfamiliar terms, learn who is credited with important theories and breakthroughs, and to get an overview of your topic. This background research step will also help you understand logical ways to narrow your topic.
