LibGuides: Invisible Influence 2021: Researching

Finding resources

Research library
BEST FEATURE(S): To be honest, we bought this primarily for access to The Economist. Its contents are excellent, but we already have access to great content in EBSCO. It is irksome that these results are not embedded with EDS. CITATION QUALITY: Dreadfully inconsistent. Sometimes all caps, sometimes, they leave out the publication name. DESCRIPTION: Research Library is a truly multidisciplinary resource featuring a diversified mix of scholarly journals, trade publications, magazines, and other timely sources across the top 150 subject areas. By covering more subject areas than other resources, It is ideal for serving diverse needs, from the one-time user to the interdisciplinary needs of serious researchers. Research Library provides access to a wide range of the core academic titles, from business and the sciences to literature and politics. The database expands daily and currently includes more than 6,000 titles, 75% of which are available in full text."

This cross-curricular research database supports science, social studies, current events, and language arts classes. Informed, differing views help learners develop critical-thinking skills and draw their own conclusions. Generally, NCHS teachers do not love the "Viewpoint Essays". We prefer OP-ED from major newspapers, and the New York Times' "Room for Debate".
