[OPLINLIST] Consumer Reports online

[Shelley Bylica]

What is the lead time for articles before they appear on MasterFile Premier?
I know that some publications may wait 6 months before they release their
articles to EBSCO. 

Thanks,

Shelley B.

Yes, I've found the Consumer Reports articles (full text PDF with charts &
graphs) in EBSCOHost very helpful. I tout them at my KnowItNow trainings
now, too.

To get them:
- Use MasterFile Premier from EBSCO
- Use Advanced Search
- search for what your patron needs (e.g., computers)
- Publication: consumer reports
- Document Type: Product Review

Highly recommended!
