Resources

I used Zotero to organize my sources as I did my research. While I was unable to figure out how to share the live version of the Zotero page, I was able to suppy an exported bibliography below.  As it was my first time using this tool, I found it helpful, but the data limit did feel like a hendrence if I were doing a larger project.
