Consumer Reports Available Online via Library Database

Did you know that the full-text of all monthly Consumer Reports issues going back to January 1991, with the exception of the three most recent issues, is available online for free via the Library's EBSCO database? It's true! All you need is a Nashua Public Library card.

You don't even need to be at the library to access the database. Simply get online, go to the NPL's Databases webpage, and click on link for EBSCO. Or, simply click on this link. You will then be asked to enter the last five digits of your library barcode number. Then click on "General Magazine Resources" and do a keyword search in which you limit your results to Consumer Reports by entering "Consumer Reports" in the "Publication" field.

If this sounds a bit intimidating, we recommend signing up for our free computer training class on using EBSCO databases. The class is offered at least once a month and is perfect for beginniners and intermediate-level computer users. Just give us a call at 603-589-4615 to find out when the next class is being offered.
