  10. 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.
