Current Issues Resources-Social Welfare Library-University of California, Berkeley

Current controversies resources

Several publishers publish "current controversies" series or issue briefs on particular topics. These titles frequently offer a pro/con format on some of the controversial issues in their respective fields. They provide a quick (but not comprehensive) overview of major issues, and suggest directions and resources for further research.

Another excellent beginning point for research is the Encyclopedia of Social Work, NY: National Association of Social Workers (HV35 .S6; latest edition 1995, plus supplements). The Encyclopedia offers a comprehensive collection of articles on social welfare issues, plus references for further research. See also the list of Encyclopedias and dictionaries in the Social Welfare Library.

Pro and Con Online presents pro and con viewpoints on topics ranging from civil rights, economy, environmental policy, politics and government, and foreign policy.
