SIRS Issues Researcher

I chose the leading issue of Human Trafficking.  The topic overview gave a nice introduction to the issue - there was also an audio MP3 that read the overview to you.  The statistics tab provided you links to articles with stats but there were also graphic representations you could select as well - posters, charts, graphs, etc. It was also nice to see parallel topics to branch out in more specific ways. 

The Curriculum Pathfinders are very extensive - interesting that they also add research topics to go along with them.  I chose Archaeology as my subject.  I like the various formats that are available: government docs, newspapers, magazines, graphics/mecia.  The graphics section had some great pictures that could be embedded in your project.

  1. Though this product is aimed at middle & high schoolers, we know of masters' level students who have found just the right thing here. Keep this one in mind for patrons interested in current topics, no matter what their age. Thanks for your comments.
