Modifications to CQ Press resources

Updates have been made to the CQ Press products CQ Researcher and CQ Press in Context on the library website.

A new service called Issue Tracker is also available to help users track a specific issue across the decades. Annual updates to this product will continue to be purchased by the library.

CQ Press in Context is a free resource that was previously available only through the Political Science resource page. It has now been added to the list of all databases. This resource links to full text articles from our subscribed CQ Press products as well as citations from CQ Press products for which we do not subscribe.
