Where can I find the Consumer Reports Buying Guide and product ratings?
Answer
The Consumer Reports Buying Guide can be searched in the MasterFILE Complete database. Here are the steps to find product rating reports:
1) Begin by searching "consumer reports" on the Journals tab, located in the main search area of McDermott Library's homepage.
2) Look for the "Consumer reports. Buying guide" result, then click the journal title.
3) Scroll to the View Online section and click the link to EBSCOhost MasterFILE Complete.
4) Look for the EBSCOhost logo in the top-left corner of the resulting page. Find "Search within this publication" just below it. Click the linked text.
5) This will take you to a search interface where you can enter your desired product or product area in the second keyword box, just after the "AND" box. Leave the first keyword box as is.
In this example, we're searching the product area of "appliances." Click Search.
6) The results list contains reports on various types of appliances. Click the HTML Full Text button or PDF icon to read the report.
