Many projects require students to find information of an
opposing viewpoints nature.
Many resources in the Library collection facilitate this
goal. In addition to books that can be found throughout the collection, an entire
section, VIEWpoints, is devoted to this type of need.
A number of the databases to which we subscribe also are
primarily focused on this type of interplay of issues. Others are beginning
to provide special sections that will help you choose topics and find
information that will support your goal.
The following will lead you to websites and databases
that are based on pro/con issues entirely or have special sections
that do. You can also find information that supports your
chosen issue by searching through other databases and websites.
