Worth finding out for future reference, if you decide not to re-subscribe next year. I've researched tires, knives, and blenders all from the comfort of my work computer. :) well, fyi, if your library offers it you can access full-text archives of Consumer Reports (and literally hundreds of other magazines/journals) from your home computer for free!

If it's only been three days they may still offer you the renewal rate. Of course, now that you've gone and started a new one, p'raps that's no longer an option.

I love my library. However, it wasn't open at 10pm last night when I *really* had to get the research done. :-D Hi Beth!

The interface isn't as nice, but you can get full text articles from Consumer Reports and thousands of other articles, usually by accessing your library's home page, then finding their electronic databases, and entering your card number. A reference librarian can get you started if it seems daunting - the interface is often not that easy to wade through. even MORE sadly, you could get that information free, courtesy your local public library’s subscription databases.
