Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center Is a Very Good Database Safford, Barbara Ripp Secondary Education School Libraries Public Libraries Databases Critical Thinking Thinking Skills Information Literacy Controversial Issues (Course Content) College Libraries Reference Materials Online Systems Library Services "Opposing Viewpoints" and "Opposing Viewpoints Juniors" have long been standard titles in upper elementary, middle level, and high school collections. "Opposing Viewpoints Juniors" should be required as information literacy/critical thinking curriculum tools as early as fifth grade as they use current controversies to teach students how to discriminate between fact and opinion, to identify propaganda, and to recognize bias. "Opposing Viewpoints" explores controversial subjects (there are ninety titles in the series) by including materials representing both sides of the issues. This article describes a new related online resource, "Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center" (OVRC) that combines most of the articles from "Opposing Viewpoints," some reference source from MacMillan USA, Gale databases related to court cases and statistics, more than thirty periodicals, over 1000 Web links, 800 selected images, and built-in online manuals that teach critical reading and research. This database is recommended for middle schools, high schools, public libraries, and college libraries. |
