Training Announcement: Consumer Product Content in LiLI-D through ProQuest

2009 08 Sep

Earlier this year, it was announced that Consumer Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports, entered into an exclusive agreement with a single database provide. Idaho residents can still access full text of Consumer Reports content published from January 1996 – January 2009 through the LiLI Databases. ProQuest continues to publish the abstracts and indexing for Consumer Reports and those should remain current and up to date.

As a result of this change, ProQuest has been actively work to increase the amount of consumer related content available in their suite of resources.
