ABC-CLIO has launched its annual research competition for secondary students at the National Council for the Social Studies 88th Annual Conference in Houston.

Coached by their teacher and/or school library media specialist, student teams will identify their choices and then defend them and present their research findings to ABC-CLIO in an electronic format such as a slide show, online essay, video or animation, or an audio podcast.
