Choosing a Topic for Your Memo and Business Letter

For Discussions 11.1 and 11.2, you are to choose a topic within your community or workplace that is important to you. The NAU Online Library has two databases to help you find a topic. In the Points of View database, you may want to try the categories of "Citizens' Rights," or "Labor and Economics." In the SIRS database, you may want to try the categories of "Civil Rights and Liberties," or "Business and Economics."

Points of View Reference Center
Contains many core topics, each with an overview (objective background / description), point (argument), and counterpoint (opposing argument).

Replaces Reference Shelf
Pro vs. Con arguments
SIRS Issues Researcher®
When it comes to helping researchers make sense of the major issues of the day, SIRS Researcher® makes the grade by offering only the very best article selections from more than 1,600 sources—exploring social, scientific, health, historic, economic, political, and global issues.
