Clearly there is a lot of resources here that you could use as a valuable tool to aid you in writing a paper or whatever the case maybe. We’re going to zoom in on just two of these resources and explain them in depth, what they can be used for, and how to use them. We’ll talk about the Discovering Collection Link and the Facts of File (World News Digest).
"Discovery Collection: A good resource for very basic information on virtually any topic. This comprehensive reference resource includes essays, critical analyses, biographies, and primary sources in both text and multimedia."

Now I’m going to talk about the Facts on File (World News Digest) reference site. This is a searchable news and events site in addition to using the encyclopedia and almanac. This site gives top stories that date all the way back to 1940. Some special features that this resource has maps, photographs, historic documents, and overviews of key issues. Basically you can just type the topic you’re interested in and if available there will be articles related to that topic. Right on the front page they have a in-depth coverage, Special Features, and Research Topic Idea Categories which are both useful and interesting.
