Q. Is there a place where I can find topics for an essay?

Good news--several of our COM Library databases can help you come up with ideas for controversial or hot topics for your paper. Even better, once you use one of these databases for ideas, you'll already have one source (or more) for your paper!

• CQ Researcher
  Browse Reports by Topic for broad topics, then click to see specific reports under the topic of interest.
• Issues & Controversies
  Browse through Issue Index until you find one you like.
• Opposing Viewpoints
  Get a list of ideas from the Issues page. Access from the grey toolbar below the Opposing Viewpoints banner.
