Catching Up with Credo

WHAT’S NEW

The Credo Blog

This month, Raymond Pun discussed using video to create a digital story that promotes your library services and highlighted some techniques he learned from a workshop on Library Carpentry (hint: it’s not about building bookshelves!). In addition, Henrietta Verma presented some resources for libraries serving immigrant patrons, and we got some advice on protecting our personal data while working remotely and planning a professional development strategy.

Real Time Reference

With all the breaking news about COVID-19 vaccines, it’s nice to be able to rely on The Conversation to keep us informed of the latest developments. In clear, understandable language, scientists explain how the new mRNA vaccines work and why they need to be kept so cold and point to good news in the data for older people. Want to dive into the science directly? Learn how to read a research paper and check the evidence yourself.

New this month from Business Expert Press, Major Sociocultural Trends Shaping the Contemporary World dives into a wealth of topics, including global health and wellbeing, across multiple disciplines to give readers a well-rounded understanding.
