Q. I need to write a paper on a current event. Where can I find some ideas for a topic?

The library has a guide with ideas on how to find sources on current events and breaking news stories.  Click here to access the guide.

Two good databases to look in for current event sources are Facts on Files: Issues & Controversies and Gale in Context Opposing Viewpoints.  You can find them through the link to the COM Library current events databases below.  These two databases are exclusively focused on current events and controversial issues.  Once you have identified a topic you can use these and the other databases in the list to perform research.  You can find more information about using these databases through the Opposing Viewpoints and Issues & Controversies guide links below.
