A very useful tool, particularly for English students working on an "argumentative" paper, is the Opposing Viewpoints series. Because they provide a balanced, well-researched approach in a single volume, Opposing Viewpoints helps students formulate an argument and thesis while introducing authors, related subject terms, and bibliographies for additional research.

To access this series, go to the Library's online catalog and search either for the subject or the keyword OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS.
