Consumer rights

After thinking about shopping and consumer rights, I did a search in our catalog for the words "consumer rights". This pulled up 23 titles. I sorted by newest to oldest.

Do you know how to sort in our catalog?
- You can sort before you search by selecting 'Power Search'. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and see the drop down box for "Sort" options.
- If you've already searched and you'd like to organize your results, you can select the 'Limit search' link in the yellow bar. This opens the same screen you see with 'Power Search'. Leave your search term alone, scroll to the bottom of the screen and change the 'Sort' option. Click the blue 'search' button in the middle of the screen to arrange your search.

Encyclopedia of contemporary American social issues [HN59.2 ONLINE RESOURCE 2011] is the newest title in our collection after a quick search on the topic of consumer rights. By rights, I mean protection by the law against individuals or businesses who just might like to use my buying power for their advantage.

I figured a current encyclopedia would have both brief articles and timely information. My hunch was correct. Encyclopedias offer  the right amount of information. The 2011 copyright date implies current information. After you've opened the book (use the 'ebook full text' link on the left to open the book), you may search within the book by using the search tool that looks like a magnifying glass on the right side at the top of the column.

To use the ebook off campus you'll need to login. Ask your CTC librarian about the login information for our electronic books.
