Another new database!

Check out Science in Context.

Science in Context is an online resource providing contextual information on hundreds of today's most significant science topics--showing how scientific disciplines relate to real-world issues, from weather patterns to obesity.

The format is similar to Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Search or browse for a topic.

Browsing the topic: Earthquakes, for example, gives an overview of what an earthquake is, as well as news articles about the April 28, 2015 earthquake in Nepal. Need statistics? There is also a list of the 10 deadliest earthquakes, 856-2004. In addition, there are articles from academic journals, Websites, audio files, videos, and more. 

This is a great resource that pulls together many kinds of information on a topic.

New Database: Opposing Viewpoints in Context

Introducing:
Opposing Viewpoints in Context

Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context provides information on important current news events. This database can help with writing a critical essay, researching a report or term paper, or preparing for a speech.

You also get a list of related topics. And each topic has viewpoint essays, which present different points-of-view on various aspects of a topic.
