Opposing Viewpoints covers controversial social issues with a variety of scholarly yet accessible sources. It has some great usability features, including an "add to Google Classroom" one-click option that allows teachers and students to link an article to a Google Classroom post or assignment. This can be a quick way to see the sources students are considering as they research.
By popular demand, JSTOR is also now available, providing access to a variety of scholarly journals, primary sources and books, particularly in humanities and social sciences. JSTOR does a particularly good job of helping students understand the background and context of the sources they're using. It's largely limited to scholarly journals (unlike Gale and EBSCO, another database Homestead subscribes to, which both aggregate consumer publications as well).
You can try these tools through the Homestead library website.
