Points Of View Reference Center
Today I looked at Points of View Reference Center. So far this is my favorite database. I remember having to write a point of view essay for comp II, this database would have really come in handy then. The database is exactly what the title suggests it is. Users can find a large selection of differing view points on many hot topic issues as well as other issues that they may be interesting in. Right now bullying in shools is a huge issue. I looked up articles on the issue and found great sources on the subject. One article's point of view is that admin should focus on the bully. The next article talked about how administration should focus on teaching victims how to deal with bullies. I also looked up somethings that were interesting to me. Like epidurals...I found out a lot of helpful information and the pros and cons of the procedure. I think this database could be really helpful not only to patrons writing papers but to anyone needing information to make a decision, like whether or not to get an epidural. The site offers citations as well as getting started guides like essay outline how to's. You can also pick the type of resourse you are shown. You can choose articles, newspapers, periodicals, and even radio and television transcripts. Like many other databases this one also offers a folder system and and export option. The site is very easy to use and also VERY helpful!
