ENG 111 Persuasive Essay

An intro to persuasive writing and using databases to find resources

CQ Researcher consists of an annual compilation of weekly issues that cover one topic of current or emerging interest. Each issue is covered objectively and explained clearly. Charts, graphs, chronologies and annotated bibliographies area available for each article. Additionally, every CQ article includes these features which may be hard to find elsewhere:

  • Pro & Con section written by authorities on topic.
  • Chronology of significant events leading to current state of topic.
  • Charts, graphs, images, opinion polls.
  • Outlook predicts what may happen on topic in near future.

To get to any of our databases, you must first go the the ESCC Library homepage.  From there, you will need to click on the "Online Databases" link.

You'll be redirected to the A-Z Databases LibGuide.

 

 

Scroll down to / or click "C" and select CQ Researcher.  

If you are on campus, you should immediately be taken to the basic search screen of the database.

If you are off campus, you will be taken to a log-in screen where you will be prompted to enter your MyESCC username and password. 

If you have any problems accessing the databases, ask a library staff member for help.
