More EXCELLENT
resources
for Social Issues:
The Opposing Viewpoints
database is a great source! Also, be sure to use the ProQuest database to find
magazine, newspaper and
journal articles about the social issue you are researching. Any
other subscription database listed under Social Issues / Current Events
would be useful.
Also,
use the library's catalog to find books on your topic - especially
Opposing
Viewpoints books. Use the Encyclopedia of Associations
(call number REF 061.3 Ency)
in our reference section to learn more about an organization you
are
not familiar with or to find organizations involved in a particular
social
issue.
