Credo Reference is adding MARC records to WorldCat

Credo Reference is a full-text online reference service. The records being added to WorldCat represent the ebooks that are part of Credo's collection.

The Credo Reference collection includes over three million entries from hundreds of well-regarded titles from over 70 of the world's best reference publishers.  Credo's collection is intelligently integrated with millions of cross-references and contains a wide range of subject-specific titles covering everything from art to accountancy, science to Shakespeare and law to literature plus dictionaries, bilingual dictionaries, thesauri, encyclopedias, quotations and atlases. 

When a record for a title from Credo Reference (OCLC symbol CREDO) is added or matched to WorldCat, a 938 field is added to the MARC record that contains the vendor code CRED.  This code is indexed; vendor records are searchable in Connexion using the vendor index (Vendor (vn:) in the dropdown menu).  Some examples of the records added to WorldCat from Credo Reference are OCLC numbers: #436848185, #437303088.  Some examples of records matched in WorldCat are OCLC numbers:  #428818194, #246969140.
