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!

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.
