Q. I need to write a paper on gun control and present either a pro or con viewpoint on the issue. Do you have any online resources that can help me?
Answer
Alabama Virtual Library (http://www.avl.lib.al.us) includes two databases that may be helpful.
Opposing Viewpoints in Context (http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/ovic/?userGroupName=avl_hunts) is a Gale database that allows access to thousands of viewpoint articles, topic overviews, statistics, primary documents, links to websites and full-text magazine articles.
Points of View Reference Center (http://web.ebscohost.com/pov/search?sid=edad7386-e5ec-45c4-bdc6-e35b05d0cc5d%40sessionmgr115&vid=1&hid=107) is a database from EBSCO that provides access to controversial essays and articles presenting multiple sides of a current issue as well as essays presenting material for further study.
