Eric Hansen, iCONN's Electronic Resources Coordinator, recently announced that we no longer have to wait 90 days to read current Consumer Reports reviews online. That is, print and online content will be available at the same time. So pick your format; choose the information retrieval style that suits you best -- and either way, use Consumer Reports for free @ your library.
