Databases for Current Topics

Here are just a few of the databases we have with content pertaining to current topics and research. For all our databases, use the A–Z or Topics listing. The Topics pages have many additional resources for research in those fields—some are scholarly and research-heavy, but not all. For example, you can find links to government statistics on crime on the criminal justice page. If you're looking for background research for a story and need help, please reach out to a librarian.
