Pro & Con

Some classes require a Pro & Con "hot" topic to be researched. The GALILEO description for SKS WebSelect notes - that SKS is an online database of Internet resources providing access to quality Web sites on almost any subject. WebSelect is continually updated to include new sites and dynamically changing data. Summaries provide a concise overview of site content and authority. Keyword, Subject Heading, and Topic Browse searches can be performed. Topics are assigned based on site content and mission. WebSelect is dynamically updated and offers Internet resources from around the globe, including those of leading universities, government agencies and respected organizations.

What is very helpful for researchers - on the right side of the SKS home page is "Your Top Ten Pro vs Con: Leading Issues". Click on the icon for the topic and voila- an overview, articles, links, resources!
