My Topic: Titanic The topic I have chosen is the event of the Titanic. Since I don’t really know a lot about the event or the history that goes along with it. So let’s get started!

Library of Congress- New York Public Library’s Digital Collection- g/ Many types of information & topics were listed on the home page. Search box was easy visible. The display was rather helpful than confusing. After running a search I found exactly what I was looking for. Gave me several articles & images. Provided me with important dates and references. Different types of information & topics were listed on the home page as well. Search box was easy accessible. The display was a bit unusual but I got the hang of it. After running a search I found several useful images. Once I clicked an image another image appeared with back round information of the first image. I found some cool newspaper articles about the titanic. Favorite Websites

Least Favorite Websites National Archives & World Digital Library- Both sites home pages are confusing. The national archives had nothing about the titanic & didn’t have what I was looking for. The world digital library had only one article about the Titanic which wasn’t useful at all. Nothing interesting was found in both articles. These two websites display & results were rather confusing than helpful.
