ON LINE LIBRARY - QUESTIA.COM
This is an excellent web site that allows students of all academic
levels to have
access to a huge variety of
sources, including a range
of book and journals. It is extremely convenient for any research
student, who does not have the luxury and time to make many library
visits, and the large amount of time used when searching for sources.Questia
with the click of a button allows a person to search books on subject
or author basis, and to enjoy an extensive list produced
instantaneously. The user can use quotes from the entire source,
including its contents and bibliography.At immense ease the
user can scroll through the pages without having to leave his seat.
Further to this, similar sources are
provided.The user is able
to save work, and sources used will automatically be filed on the users
personal account. This means that the next time the user logs on, he
can effortlessly return to the sources used on a prior date. Questia
is still not as well known as it should be, especially within
universities and institutes of higher education. Perhaps this is
because of the worry some academics have of loosing actual sources to
the Internet. However in modern times, such technology should be taken
advantage of.Questia will benefit teachers and lecturers too.
When producing lecture notes and handouts, quote can be quickly copy
and pasted directly from the source to the handout. For students with
ever increasing amounts of essays/projects and papers, Questia is a
tool to assist with this often huge workload in a legal manner. There
is a small charge for full users, around $16 a month, but this is well
worth the time and effort saved, by this web site that is such a
valuable source. Previews (the first page of every chapter) are
provided at no cost.
