Facts.com and Netlibrary.com are two very important website resources, and they are both valuable for my topic because they give me a wide variety of articles, articles that provie essential information on what I am searching for. I also got these off the lbcc library website because those websites haven't failed me yet where as on google you can search on that, but sometimes they give you fake websites that provide you with false information making you screwed in the end.
