Start Here - Search Many Databases at Once

  • Proquest - Choose ALL their Databases
    This link will take you to Proquest's ABI/Inform database. In the upper left hand corner, where it says "searching 1 database" click and then select ALL the databases. The best results come when you then select peer-reviewed and full text.
  • EBSCO - Choose ALL their databases
    This link will take you to EBSCO's Academic Search Premier. Above the search boxes in the upper left corner, where it says "choose databases" click and then select all databases. Again, best results come when you select full text and peer-reviewed. However, if you want MORE results you should not limit to these.
  • Articles and Books (BETA)
    Preselected for scholarly content and full-text, this searches for books and articles at once. After a keyword search, you can widen or narrow the limits as you see fit (eg, date-range, format, topic).

Opposing Viewpoints & C.Q Researcher

Opposing Viewpoints provides information on key current social issues and “hot topics” from a number of perspectives. Includes: topic overviews; “viewpoint” articles; primary source documents; profiles of individuals, agencies and interest groups; statistical tables, charts and graphs; and other useful material for debates and argumentation writing assignments.

CQ Researcher provides articles on current topics in public affairs. Each issue provides a brief “pro-con” discussion on a question related to the larger topic, a feature that is especially useful for speeches, debates and essays for argumentation classes. This is also an excellent source for getting ideas for a topic or for finding ways to focus or refine a broad topic.
