The Atrium

You can now search our online catalog to see if we carry your favorite magazines. This new feature was recently added to the LakeNet catalog search options, and shows holdings for all GRPL locations.

Want some practice using this new feature? Check out the results of the American Council on Science and Health study, which recently reported that popular consumer magazines like Parents, Good Housekeeping, and Prevention provide more reliable health care information than some magazines that specialize in health topics.

Magazines included in the ACSH study are rated in four categories from excellent to poor. Titles which received the highest accuracy ratings were Consumer Reports, Glamour, Ladies' Home Journal, and Shape -- all of which are available at GRPL. You can download the report from the ACSH site and then check the list against the GRPL catalog.

Remember, magazines cannot be checked out at the main library, only at branches.
