World’s # 1 Encylopedia
There are many online resources for students to use for their research and personal study. This website offers students significant resources for their studies no matter the student’s residence. Some similar resources are available in state and city libraries requiring actions to gain access and residency is ofter a requirement.

Google Books
Google Books helps you search within and discover books. When you find a book that is under copyrights, you typically see only a small portion of book at a time…either the Snippet View of the Sample Pages view plus links to places where you can buy or borrow the book. If the book is available on Google Books, you can click and read free. To purchase a book you will need to have a Google account. There will be books you can download for free. There are limitations on the free feature allowing users only to read a certain percent of the book for free. We recommend care be used in this online resources as we have no control related to its content.

The following videos provide you with helpful information that will aid you in completing your writing assignments in your NFC Academy courses and becoming the best writer possible.
