​Where to Start

Two library pro/con databases to begin your search are: 

  • Opposing Viewpoints - a complete one-stop source for information on social issues. Access viewpoint articles, topic overviews, statistics, primary documents, links to websites, and full-text magazine and newspaper articles.
  • SIRS Issues Researcher - a general reference database containing full-text articles exploring social, scientific, health, historic, business, economic, political and global issues.

If you are searching the databases from off campus, you will be asked to log in using your MC email address and password. For additional sources and topic ideas, access the library's Current Issues Research Subject Guide. For library help, please chat, text, or call via Ask Us.
