Using Credo, you can find many pages of information about topics in the humanities. Thetopics break into the categories of art, language, literature, music, philosophy and religion. The art and music categories include topics such as "Georgia O'Keeffe" and "jazz," but do not include listings for individual compositions or works of art. "Concrete poetry," "John Steinbeck," "romanticism" and "voodoo" are examples of other topics in the humanities categories.
Credo social science topics include social movements, activism and politics as well as sociologically significant geographic areas such as "Kurdistan." Examples of sociology and psychology topics include "civil disobedience" and "bipolar disorder."
Because information about science, technology and medicine changes frequently, you can consult these categories in Credo to gain background for your detailed research. "Nuclear fusion," "multiple sclerosis" and "microscope" are a few of the topics you can find in these categories.
The history and geography categories provide information about historical events, countries, cities and landmarks. Topics include "draft riots" and "Samaria." The biography category provides information about more than 2,500 individuals, from Hank Aaron to Gennady Zyuganov.
The Credo pages devoted to business and law can help you gain a basic understanding of many topics, such as "affirmative action" and "commodity market." These categories contain information about influential practitioners of law and business, such as Andrew Carnegie and William Jennings Bryan.
The food and beverage category provides background about the history or production of different edible products. This category includes information about cultural practices related to food but does not feature recipes. Examples of topics you will find in this category are "almond," "chocolate" and "soybean."
