CQ Researcher
http://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher is a reliable source for information on
controversial issues in the news. Each week it focuses on a single issue
and provides an overview of the situation, a timeline, a history of the
problem, current news and the outlook for the future. Perhaps the
most helpful section is "pro/con" which gives essays on the
topic by experts on each side of the debate. Recent topics include
"Factory Farms," "The New
Environmentalism,"
and "Privacy in Peril," "Climate Change." Upcoming reports will focus on
"Rethinking Foreign Policy" and "Treating Addiction."

Brochure Design Tips
Tips to keep in mind when designing your
brochure!
- Use color to focus attention on your main points and
to improve the perception of quality.
- Avoid trying to jam too much information into a
small space. In good brochure design, less is more.
- Don’t overlook the value of white space to bring a
clean look to your design and to help accentuate key points.
- For readability, consider using a serif type for
body copy. Studies have shown that serif type is easier to read.
Sans serif type is good for headlines and subheads.
- Limit the number of font families you use. Don't use
more than 3 font families in your brochure project.
