Have you thought about subscribing to the online database of Opposing
Viewpoints? It seems more timely and easily accessible to many rather than
just a few books that can be checked out to a few. (Our OV's were outdated
and I didn't think it was wise to purchase the print copies when usually
they are "taken" or checked out by one or two, while others wait for the
same materials.)
We reviewed the database last year and thought it would; however, we are
still working on our budget, so I doubt that I'll be able to get it this
year. I'm hoping for next, though!

> When do the rest of you update your Opposing Viewpoints Series? Most of my
collection is 12-15 years old. I'm previewing new books and I compared the
new books with the old and they appear to be an entirely different book with
different content. Also, do you keep the old around....specifically I'm
thinking of sciences? Opposing viewpoints of Biomedical ethics 15 years ago
would not be valuable or even significant now...would it? It's very early
on Monday morning...but I've got to get this done! Thanks!
