Credo Reference Mind Maps: Visualize Your Topic
Do you have a general idea for a topic but need to narrow it down? Do you need an overview of your main topic? Are you a visual learner who likes to see how topics are connected?
The Credo Reference Mind Maps are perfect for finding connections and visualizing your topic.
From the OCLS homepage, under the Books column, select Credo Reference.
In the search box, type your keyword or topic, for example, Disinformation.
The Mind Map will display on most search result pages on the right side of the screen. Your search term becomes the central concept in a map of related topics.
As you click the related terms on the map, the search results will change to that term.
To interact with the map, click the expand arrow icon on the top left of the box. Click the terms to explore and expand the mind map.

When you find a helpful mind map, you can export it as a PDF. Keep the map with you as you research and try those keywords in your database searches.
Click the collapse arrow icon to exit the interactive mode and return to the results screen.
