For whatever shape your search takes
Daniel Griffin applauds a wholly user-focused search tool

If there was one word you could use to describe the newly designed interface from the Credo Reference web platform it would be 'malleable'. From the ability to conduct thoroughly detailed searches in a range of multifaceted ways, to determining your administrative parameters, Credo Reference offers the potential for plenty of customisation A- far too much to list in detail here.
Because Credo Reference is promoted as solution for learners and librarians, it has to be easy enough for novices to use while still being able to handle the most complex search criteria at the hands of a dedicated information professional.
That is a tricky task to accomplish for any platform. How do you include the time-saving jargon of the library professional to provide quick access, while still catering for those who may not be quite as adept?
