"Created to meet the needs of Multnomah County middle and high school students researching current social issues from multiple perspectives," this Website offers an annotated directory to hundreds of Internet sites dealing with over three dozen controversial social issues of our time. Topics include, but are not limited to, Abortion, AIDS, Creationism, Environmental Protection, Flag Burning, Genetic Engineering, Global Warming, Gun Control, Homelessness, Prayer in Schools, Sweatshops, and Welfare Reform. Subject directories are sometimes further broken down into megasites, pro and con sites, legislation, Supreme Court decisions and other pertinent headings. Despite the primary audience of K-12, the materials here would be suitable for college level undergraduate research or general information gathering. The site is part of the Multnomah County Library Homework Center, originating in Portland, Oregon.
