A Librarian's Favorite Resource

Debate Prep Hack

School of Communication Librarian, Molly Hurd says, "CQ Researcher is great place to find detailed, in-depth background information on topics of current interest, with pro and con arguments. Find reports on everything from K-Pop to Economic Policies to UFOs. Perfect for debates, research, or just staying informed!"

Your Ultimate Buying Guide

A graphic image of Cate Schneiderman and an image of her favorite resource, the Consumer Reports Buying Guide from Jan 2025. The image included is the cover of the report, a green cover with text that says "Consumer Report Buying Guide 2025"

School of the Arts Librarian, Cate Schneiderman says, "Consumer reports are a fantastic resource for data-driven product reviews, and their annual buying guide comes out every January. I use this to find the rankings for electronics like laptops, headphones, and smartwatches."
