CPCC Libraries offers access to two databases which contain magazine, journal, and newspaper articles focusing exclusively on controversial social issues.

• Opposing ViewPoints Resource Center — A one-stop source for information on today’s hottest social issues. OVRC features pro/con viewpoint articles, topic overviews, full-text magazine and newspaper articles, primary source documents, statistics, images and podcasts, and links to websites.
• CQ Researcher — The CQ Researcher provides original, comprehensive reporting and analysis on issues shaping our world. Each 12,000-word report is a unique work, investigated and written by a seasoned journalist. Published 44 times a year, CQ Researcher reports offer in-depth, non-biased coverage of political and social issues, with regular reports on topics in health, international affairs, education, the environment, technology, and the U.S. economy.

These resources can be found in the Find-an-Article section of our website. They can be accessed from on-campus or off-campus with the use of you CPCC SNAP ID.
