With using ProQuest and EBSCohost it was very smooth and flawless. Wish there was more and you could break it down better to get more information but Rome was not built in a day. I will take my time and go and research more of my information on the library. Seem like there is more creditable research then on the websites. Does seem like the information is already gone threw. To more form to the phoenix classes and what the university may need for its students and then made sure it was safe information.
