Stay Current on the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill

In the past few weeks, students have been looking for information on the oil spill occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. Since it is such a new, current topic, obviously there are limited sources available. These websites (and databases) may point you in the right direction if you're looking to research the issue or just want to stay on top of it:

Since books and journal articles take time to be written and published, newspapers and other news magazines are the largest sources of information at this time. You may also want to search in the following databases from the Seminole State library:

*Academic Search Complete (EBSCO)
*Access World News (NewsBank)
*New York Times (NewsBank)
*Newspapers Direct (Proquest)
