Controversial Issues Resources

Guide trains JSCC Library users about the best means of finding information in the Library, in online and print formats, on Controversial Issues topics. A single controversial topic is used for example in the guide: Health Care Reform

Google Scholar: Searching for Information on: HEALTH CARE REFORM

Keywords are typed in the Google Scholar search bar, just as they are in regular Google searching. 

The search, if successful, will retrieve articles or citations and abstracts of articles from journals.  It will also retrieve books, or possibly passages from books, on the topic of health care reform.

If an entire book or article is not retrieved in the search, the citation information can be used to find the book or article in full-text, either in the JSCC Library or in another area library.  If this is not possible -- consider using the JSCC Interlibrary Loan service.

InterLibrary Loan is a service by which a book which is not owned by JSCC Library, or an article from a journal title which is not owned by JSCC Library, is located in some other library. 

JSCC Library Circulation staff requests that this other library send us the needed book on loan for a certain period of time, or that the needed article be copied and sent to us (articles are not returned to the lending library).
