Database Demos at the Scranton Library

Watch demonstrations of these three powerful databases, available for free through the Scranton Library website:

Consumer Reports: The first choice for objective product reviews and buying guides.  Access the past four years of content, plus online-only features like user-submitted feedback and the Editors Blog. 

ReferenceUSA Research personal and business phone numbers, addresses, company profiles and even run reverse-searches.  Great for marketing or just finding people.

JobNow Prepare for a new job with JobNow's resume and cover letter labs and interview help. Chat online in real time with coaches, and submit your resume for personalized constructive criticism by professionals.

And also watch a preview of Zinio: unlimited free magazines with no due dates -- all with your library card.  Coming soon to the library.

 There will be time after the demonstrations for one-on-one help to further familiarize you with the resources.
