CQ Researcher PDF Information Sheet

Now in its 80th year, The CQ Researcher is the choice of librarians and researchers seeking original, comprehensive reporting and analysis on issues shaping our world. Used by students and other researchers who need to complete an assignment, prepare for a debate, or become a quick expert on a topic, each 12,000-word report is a unique work, investigated and written by a seasoned journalist. Published 44 times a year, the single-themed CQ Researcher report offers in-depth, non-biased coverage of political and social issues, with regular reports on topics in health, international affairs, education, the environment, technology and the U.S. economy. The CQ Researcher can be read in its entirety or by section, which includes a background and chronology; an assessment of the current situation; tables and maps; pro/con statements from representatives of opposing positions; and bibliographies of key sources.
