Re: Questia.com

If your teachers have a course syllabus, they can go to questia and
enter some possible search topics and terms. Then look at the list of
hits to see if sources look good. They may need to dig around on the net
looking for reviews or seeing if other works cite them to decide if the
books and journals that are available will have the authoritativeness
needed for their work.

Does your local college or university subscribe to it? Or possibly make
other full-text databases available?

Hello!

       I was wondering if anyone has used www.questia.com for online
research.  Some of my teachers have inquired about it so I would like to
know
if it is of any value on a graduate level, or is it more for
undergraduate
work?

Thank you!
