Do you have an assignment that requires you to examine a topic from different points of view? Do you need facts to back up your argument in a paper? Then check out the free resource ProCon.org. The pros and cons of different issues are examined based on multiple factors and viewpoints, and all content is non-partisan and balanced. A variety of issues - including religion, politics, science, law, and health - are covered, and facts and quotations from experts in the field are included. A link at the bottom of their page even instructs how to cite ProCon.org in your paper. The mission of ProCon.org is, "Promoting critical thinking, education, and informed citizenship by presenting controversial issues in a straightforward, non-partisan primarily pro-con format".

Number of topics is small compared to library's subscription database, CQ Researcher (found under Additional databases) and content is different from CQ's articles.
A good source for pro/con arguments for the dozen hot button topics listed.
