Trial Databases - Points of View Reference Center & Nursing Reference Center
For the next thirty days you may take advantage of the Points of View Reference Center and/or the Nursing Reference Center.
Points of View Reference Center is similar to both Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center and TOPICSearch in that it is a full-text database designed to provide students with a series of essays that present multiple sides of a current issue. The database provides 200 topics, each with an overview (objective background/description), point (argument),counterpoint (opposing argument), and Critical Thinking Guide. Topics covered include: affirmative action, cloning, DNA profiling, HIV/AIDS status disclosure, immigration, Iraq, Israel & the Palestinians, Katrina and FEMA response, nuclear proliferation, separation of church and state, standardized testing, stem cell research, tax cuts, voting machines, and many more.. As with the other two, scholarly and academic journals are used, as well as electronic versions of important circulating and reference books. Freshmen will find this resource of great help as they work on their term paper for English 1302. All majors should find some if not all of the topics important to their field.
Nursing Reference Center is a point-of-care reference tool designed to provide relevant clinical resources to nurses and other health care professionals, directly at the point-of-care. This databases offers staff nurses, nurse administrators, nursing students, nurse faculty, and hospital librarians the best available and most recent clinical evidence from thousands of full-text documents.
