Q. How do I find articles about a topic from multiple perspectives?
I am writing an argument paper and I need to write about an issue from both sides, such as about abortion from both pro-choice and pro-life viewpoints.
Many times when we are writing research or other types of papers, we need to find information about an issue from multiple perspectives or viewpoints. For example, you may be writing about the pros and cons of charter schools or perhaps you are doing a political analysis from the perspective of both Democrats and Republicans.
An excellent place to begin your research is using GALE in context: Opposing Viewpoints.
Pearson Library provides access to the Global Issues in Context with access to viewpoint articles, topic overviews, statistics, primary documents, links to websites, and full-text magazine and newspaper articles that cover today's hottest issues.
Our subscription also includes a curriculum standards search. If you are a student teacher, for example you can use Opposing Viewpoints identify material by grade and discipline.
The video below will show you an overview of Opposing Viewpoints and how to start a search.
If you have additional questions, please contact staff at the Circulation or Research & Information Desks, or you can email us at CLUlibrary@callutheran.edu.
