Opposing Viewpoints

Comp 2 students--

Our library subscribes to a series of books called Opposing Viewpoints. The books divide general topics, like gun control and civil rights, into a compilation of articles on opposite sides of the issue. Students often use these books for research papers. In fact, they are so popular that it's often difficult to actually find them on the shelf during research paper season.

Now the Opposing Viewpoints company is providing many of the same articles online, and we have access to those articles through MELO.

To get to the Opposing Viewpoints articles, go to this page and type in the same password that gets you into Magnolia and NewsBank. Hit proceed, then at the bottom of the next page, click on Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center.

Because we are doing current events topics, you may not find an Opposing Viewpoints subject that directly corresponds to your research paper. However, you might find some articles you can use anyway as background information. It's worth a look.
