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.

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.
