Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints

Are you writing a paper or preparing a presentation on a controversial topic? Are you looking for credible sources that present multiple points-of-view? If so, then you should check out the library's Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints database. You can find it on the library's online list of databases.

When you open that database you will see its basic search screen.

Scroll down the page to find a list of issues that you can browse.

When you find an issue in this database, you'll see an overview of the topic and links to a wide variety of sources: academic journal articles, magazine articles, statistics, websites, and more.  

The Viewpoints section provides a list of opinion pieces in which people layout their arguments on various sides of the issue. This is a quick and convenient way to find a variety of opinions on current topics.
