Where can I find information about a specific country?

For current and reliable information on countries around the world, try using the following databases:

  • Newswires (EBSCO) – Offers up-to-date news coverage from global sources.
  • Opposing Viewpoints in Context – Provides background information, statistics, and perspectives on international issues.

To access these databases:

  1. Visit the Fr. Leonard Alvey Library webpage.
  2. Click on Databases.
  3. Use the A to Z Databases List to find and select either Newswires (EBSCO) or Opposing Viewpoints in Context.

Another trusted source for this would be the CIA World Factbook.

  • CIA World Factbook – A trusted source for detailed country profiles, including data on geography, government, economy, demographics, and more.
