Researching Online: A Quick Look at Online Libraries and Databases 
 
by Robbi Erickson October 12, 2005

If you see a reference that looks like it will fit your needs you can click on the link and navigate through the text or article. If you have selected a textbook then you will only be able to see one page at a time. On the left hand side of the screen will be a table of contents and a list of pages that have your key words on them. You can click on the highlighted page numbers to jump directly to those pages with your key words, or you can click on a chapter. If you want to print a specific page out then there is a print icon available that you can select to print the page. However, you can only print one page at a time so if you need an entire chapter printed out it takes a little work. Articles are presented in their entirety and can be printed out in their entirety without having to navigate to and print out each page individually.

Another great feature of Questia is that you can save the references that you are using for your research project in a bookshelf that you can access at any time to retrieve the books or articles again. You can also check which references you have used in your research project and request a bibliography be formatted for you in MLA, APA, Chicago Manual of Style, ASA, or Turbian citation formats. This bibliography is formatted in a Word document that you can download to your hard drive and insert into your paper. This helps to ensure proper formatting of your bibliography and it provides you will all of the information that you need including publisher, location, and page numbers.

Finally, you have several options for canceling your membership. If you won’t be using your library membership for several months because you are not taking any classes during the summer, for example, then you can simply suspend your subscription for up to three months. You won’t be charged a fee during this period and you will receive 50% off the first month of your subscription after the suspension is lifted. If you will no longer need the library services than you can request your subscription be cancelled. To do this you simply have to click on the cancellation link on their website and follow the directions they provide.
