A to Z Journal Index

Wondering which of our databases contains articles from Consumer Reports? 

Would you like to be able to read a favorite magazine online, but wonder whether its available in one of our databases? 

Use A to Z to find answers to these types of questions.  With A-to-Z you can quickly locate and read journals or magazines of interest. A to Z can be searched by keyword -- or you can browse an alphabetical listing for a specific magazine title or subject area. 

For example:  You would like to find out which of the Library's databases contain the Consumer Reports magazine.

  • Click on the A to Z link (if you are accessing A to Z from outside the Library you will be asked to enter your Library barcode and PIN number to gain access to the journal index).
  • From the title tab - insert Consumer Reports in the search box and click on the search button.
  • View the results and click on one of the databases listed.  This will take you directly to the Consumer Reports page in this specific database (e.g. MasterFILE Premier).
  • If you wish to browse a particular issue of the magazine you can narrow your search by month or year from this screen, or
  • if you want to search for a particular topic in the Consumer Reports magazine you can conduct a new, advanced search within this database:
  • Click on New Search
  • Select Advanced Search
  • Enter what you are looking for in the search box (e.g. digital cameras)
  • Enter Consumer Reports in the publication field (under the Limit your results area of the screen)
  • Click on the Search button
  • View your results
