Like they've done in past years, database vendors are offering free access to some of their online products to celebrate NLW. We will post the ones we learn about as they come in. We will post each one as a separate entry and will include the category National Library Week.
Actually, along with the free database trial is the "NLW Brainteaser Challenge" with the questions being compiled from content in the Credo database. First prize is a Kindle with prizes also being awarded for second and third place.
Each day during the week participants who choose to take the challenge will receive a five-question, Brainteaser Challenge by email. Each completed quiz will count as an entry into the drawing.
You do not have to participate in the brainteaser to register and use the Credo Unlimited trial.
Note from Gary: Although I haven’t done any work with or for Credo in several years, I am a member of Credo’s Corporate Advisory Board.
By the Way,
In the past couple of days you've seen posts about two databases offering free access this month. Yes, you do need to register but both products require only a small amount of info. In other words, it's a fast process.
