Visit the library's new Leisure Reading area!
The library is pleased to announce our new “Leisure Reading” area, located right near the entrance to the library. It's a great place to discover a new popular novel to read, challenge a friend to a game of chess, or just sit in a comfy chair and relax between classes.
And, did you know that reading for pleasure is good for you? It's true. Studies have shown that leisure reading can enhance mental health and reduce stress among college students. We've got novels by popular authors in all different genres, so there's something for everyone. And if you're looking for a specific book or author - just ask a librarian!
Database Spotlight: Opposing Viewpoints in Context
If you're looking for research and opinion on current hotly debated or controversial topics, Gale's Opposing Viewpoints database can be a great resource. It includes articles and essays written by subject experts, which argue both sides of an issue to help students gain a broader understanding and learn from differing perspectives.
Topic pages give a general overview, and provide a list of in-depth pro/con viewpoints, as well as links to related articles from newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals.
A list of viewpoint articles which argue both sides of the topic are available. These can be a great way to encourage critically thinking about all sides of a hotly-debated issue.
You can find Opposing Viewpoints on our library's Databases page. And as always, if you need any help - just ask a librarian!
