Opposing Viewpoints Reference Center

Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center is a more comprehensive database than CQ Researcher or Issues and Controversies.  It includes relevant chapters from reference books, opinion pieces from many sources, news articles, magazine articles, articles from refereed journals, statistics, and visual and audio media.  It too provides assistance in citing sources.  Off campus access requires a login ID and password -- see the librarian for assistance.
