Questia??

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone here does subscribe, or ever has subscribed to "Questia"?
i sort of stumbled across it online a few times, and usually anything with a notice that reads "this is for subscribers only..." i just move on, as i always felt that i could find pretty much whatever i need online for free. however, the other day i was looking for something and questia came up in my search, and in a moment of stupidity, or curiosity (is there a difference?) i decided to view the "demo" for this subscription.

it actually seems really really cool.

A complete library, with searchable text..open 24 hours, where no book is ever "checked out" and you can highlight information in the text and directly quote and cite info, and it does your bibliography automatically, in whatever style you need (APA or MLA or whatever, they have 14 choices!), is it too good to be true??
i just wondered if anyone here has used it? if so, is it worth the $150.00 per year?

any responses would be appreciated...... :confused:
 
not an encyclopedia, a LIBRARY. a complete library. the whole thing....check it out: www.questia.com
i really would like to meet someone else who subscribes before i do, just to ensure it is all it seems to be. but i think there is a good chance i'll spend the money and sign up when fall semester starts. its just that i dont drive, so getting to the library in the city..not so easy.
hmmm....online library, online shopping, online friends. one could become umm....a hermit?
 
$150 bucks?! That's a lot of money - it has to be damn good to warrant that kind of cash.

That said, I'm a student, and I've struggled with MLA and all that crap many, many times.

Check out Wabbit's links - they're gold, and free.

Cheers
