This is *cough* institution's library catalogue. I was trying to find information on medieval uses of credit--stuff like selling wine and not expecting cash payment now but later (sales credit), or like neighbours lending each other use of something/money, etc. There's also credit like money loans which are extended to kings (especially by Italian bankers) but those weren't what I was looking for.
Ugh yeah my uni's library catalogue was terrible, half the time I had an easier time finding books on a topic I needed to research via Wikipedia, which I would then check to see if my library had!
And ah interesting! Yeah there are so many meanings for credit, I thought you meant maybe artistic credit as well...(or lack thereof)
Haha yeah. It worked better when I searched for author names and narrowed it down that way. IDK why it didn't like me searching for titles. Persnickety.
It was for an annotated bibliography! So now I can tell you who wrote a lot on it (Postan, Briggs and Schofield, for medieval England) and that there really isn't much written about credit exchanged between non-merchants,esp rural communities. :P
