Why library databases and not just Google?

Database Resources

 

Research using Ebsco Databases

1.  Start with Academic Search Complete 

      We can find articles and save them to a folder, create citations, find images, email items, etc

 

2.  Next let's look at Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints

You can either use the "Browse Issues" button to search through the different topics or "search" for your topic using the search bar.
