GECA Science Class

Students from a GECA science class are all writing papers on the same topic: whether or not the U.S. should continue to fund space exploration. There’s a couple of ways of searching at the reference desk. What I tried is by subject: Outer Space—Exploration including further subdivisions OR using keywords: space exploration. Many appropriate print books are already checked out. We have some that are a little old (but still good for background/historical type info). Luckily we have several eBooks (search inside the books with keywords like funding, funds, financ*, benefit*, wast*, etc.) There is a good Info Plus series book in the reference collection: REF QB 500.262 S624 2009 (use its index to find “benefits” of space exploration, etc.)

Also don’t forget to try EBSCOhost, Opposing Viewpoints and CQ Researcher.
