The latest news, resources, and tips from the Northwest Vista College Library
Resource Spotlight: Credo Reference
Wikipedia is convenient but unreliable. What if you could find a resource with all the convenience of Wikipedia that also has hundreds of credible, academic reference sources.
Look no further -- the Northwest Vista College Library has Credo Reference!
The library would like to thank Dan Smith and his Guitar I and private lesson students for providing acoustic guitar music in the library on November11th as part of the Library's Celerate Vista Open House. Deon Wilson, James Flores, and Philip Sturdevant drew an attentive audience and provided beautiful background music for students studying in the library. The Library also provided chips, salsa, and beverages.
