Q. Where can I find information about a controversial issue?

Use the Controversial Issues Research Guide to get started on finding resources about a controversial topic or see the links below. The Guide highlights library databases that feature excellent subject overviews, magazine articles, news videos, interviews, and much more.

Beyond the library resources, the online fact checking website AllSides offers a Red Blue translator that is an alphabetical list of political topics/words. It offers a definition of controversial terms that may be helpful in your research.

These are great starting points for researching "hot topic" issues such as: sports betting, data center water usage, social media bans for minors, football player concussions, age verification laws, universal healthcare, and hundreds of others.
