Does [UW/CCC restricted] mean Cascadia students can't use this database?
No--it just means that you must use the off-campus access button in the upper right hand corner of this page to access them from off campus. More info on setting up your CCC UW NetID
Topics Collection
Located in the Information Commons, on the 1st floor of the Library, this collection contains books on topics that lend themselves to an argument of some kind. Many contain overviews of the issue, along with summaries of the key positions (and the individuals who promote or refute them). Two series that cover a broad range of subjects are "Opposing Viewpoints" and "Contemporary World Views."
