To find the databases dealing with controversial issues, such as the Facts on File databases, or to get an article you have been told to access (such as one over the Indian Removal Act, for example) go to the library's home page:  

1. Click on the Articles & Databases link
2. Find the by SUBJECTS drop-down menu at the top. 
3. Select the subject category Controversial Issues to see a list of databases that will help you with your controversial issues research. Or, use the alphabet at the top of the page to find the database you're looking for by name. Facts on File databases have two that start with "I" relevant to controversial issues.

Our Issues & Controversies databases through Facts on File are reference databases, so the "articles" within them are typically more like encyclopedia entries, not like a scholarly or peer reviewed article
