Consumer Reports offers information on product performance ratings and advice on how to determine which model is best for you. You can search and read Consumer Reports articles on our website.

Any of these will lead you to the interface for Consumer Reports but MasterFILE is the easiest to use.

Once you are on the EBSCO Consumer Reports page, you can browse by year and volume, or click Search within this publication to search for a specific topic.

For this search, go to Search within this publication and add your search word, such as grill, in the space directly under the JN “Consumer Reports” field. This will search for the keyword within all back issues. Searching for grill, you should retrieve 36 results, beginning with the most up-to-date gas grill reviews and recall updates.

The library maintains a community information database, Tulsa Organizations and Services (TOS), to help you find Tulsa clubs, support groups, professional societies, social service and government agencies, libraries, museums, speakers, meeting facilities and more.

Find the Tulsa Organizations and Services link in the left column on our Research page. You can search by the name of the organization, by subject, or by keyword.

To find Tulsa resources about autism, try a keyword search for “autism.” This will take you to an entry for the Tulsa Autism Foundation. A keyword search of “Asperger’s” (or a subject search for Asperger’s Syndrome) will find some related groups.

Try Tulsa Organizations and Services whenever you need information about resources in Tulsa! For further assistance, contact us at 596-7977 or ask us your question at http://www.tulsalibrary.org/askus.
