Can't decide on a topic? Browse hundreds of topics in three of our databases designed especially for controversial issues and topics, Points of View Reference Center, Sirs or Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context.

A search of the online catalog will show you what books we have in the library collection.

Your searches will be more productive if you select a topic that's not too broad. Here's an example of how you might broaden or narrow the topic of drug abuse.

Drug abuse - too broad
Drug abuse and crime - better, but still a bit broad
Drug abuse and crime and United States - more manageable list of results
