Studying tough issues?
SIRS subscribers know that SIRS Researcher® is a one-stop reference solution, providing thousands of full-text articles that explore social, scientific, health, historic, business, economic, political, and global issues.
When it comes to helping high-school students make sense of the major issues of the day, Researcher makes the grade by offering only the very best resources from more than 1,600 sources.
The new SIRS Researcher offers high-school students the whole story with the very latest reliable and credible information--along with a fresh, new interface!
In fact, all of our SIRS solutions now offer a similar new look and feel! Just login to your SIRS subscription and the new interfaces will appear. It's that easy!
Thanks to feedback from users just like you, here's what you'll find in the current version:
Clean, updated interface. We've updated the SIRS user experience, offering a clean, more visually sophisticated window to the top-quality resources you've come to expect from Researcher.
New That's Debatable feature. Connect students to the major issues of the day! This brand new feature allows students to vote in an online poll and become vested in the research process.
All Leading Issues are now accessible from the primary search screen. Leading Issues' non-divisive, unbiased editorial approach allows students to build critical thinking skills and form their own opinions by seeing all sides of an issue--pro, con, and everything in between. Best of all, the new Pro/Con and myAnalysis tabs make exploring the opposing viewpoints of our time easier.
New Leading Issues curriculum guides. These revised resources walk students through the research process, utilizing our Leading Issues as a primary source of information.
Educators' Resources are front and center. Formerly known as Librarian's Corner, this rich resource is now prominently featured on every page in the top header. It's easier than ever to launch a standards search to find SIRS resources directly linked to state and national learning benchmarks!
Targeted image search. Looking for images focused on a specific topic? Simply click the new Images search link at the top of the main search page, and find any of tens of thousands of photographs, charts and maps to simply copy and paste into reports, presentations and more!
Special features are a click away. Maps of the World, Today's News, along with our Spotlights and ChallengeQuests and Research Guides have been given more prominent placement for easy access.
New My Research links. Just mouse over the My Research graphic to access tagged lists, session save, plus your recent search history!
