your online library of books and journals
If only the internet technology was that advanced ten years ago, I would have sailed through my research thesis smoothly. Looking back, I was having a hard time locating research and books of my subject topic and as a result of that, I had to order some of those hard-to-find books from States, which cost me alot of money.
When I learn about Questia, an online library for all academic books and journals, I am impressed with the 70,000 digital books and 1.7 million articles in its collection. For those who frequently conduct research in their field of study, you have just found a one-stop resource for your academic material. Whatever subjects you are searching for - arts and architecture, economics and business, literature, law, psychology, religion or science and technology, the smart search features will present you with a list of digital books and articles relevant to your search topic. What's unique about Questia is that subscribers can pen down notes on the digital book or article, highlight important quotes or passages and use the text in any style they want. Another cool thing is, this digital library is available 24/7 and never closes a day, unlike your local or school library. This facilitates all your research activities any time you want, with no rush, no stress except complete convenience. Your research can be done anywhere as long as there is an internet connection.
In case you think this is only a research library for the academics, take heart. Questia has over 5,000 FREE books available for all avid readers. You may also want to take advantage of the free trial to a set of books in any of these four subjects: Psychology, Ethics, Leadership, or Early American History.
It's hard to find an area that Questia needs to work on as everything is well thought of, right to filing your online notes to putting together a bibliography. Perhaps Questia can include more subscription options for users. Currently, it offers $19.95 for a monthly subscription and a $99.95 for a yearly one. If possible, discounts can be offered to students and a loyalty program can be introduced for subscribers who returned after a short break.
I have no doubt that Questia is the most comprehensive online library for all researchers, academicians and students of this modern internet age.
