Consumer Reports Available Online

Categories include new and used cars, appliances, electronics, and more.

Start at www.kentcountylibrary.org, click Search, Articles & Info, Magazines, and finally Consumer Reports. You will be asked to enter your 14 digit library barcode with no spaces or punctuation.

From there, you're free to search or browse the articles and reliability ratings. Soon you'll know the top 10 cars and trucks for 2010, what to look for when considering a new digital camera, and more.
