[LM_NET] TARGET: Questia database

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

I've reviewed the archives and read the reviews of Questia from various
users.

I was wondering if some of you who are still lurking and use / subscribe to
Questia, would answer some of the following questions:

*  what is the cost of the product as a whole?  By student or by school?
Did you receive a discount?
*  are articles / e-books in full-text and are they complete?  Do you have
problems accessing some of the materials in full?
*  do you keep passwords for students since each has his / her own password?
OR is there another system now being used?
*  how often is the database updated by the company?
*  what are some of the positive aspects of the database that you've found
with your students?
*  what are some of the negative aspects of the database that you've
discovered with your students?
*  what types / levels of students are using the database?


Any other comments, suggestions, or responses would be appreciated.  You may
comment to me off-list.

Thanks!

~Shonda
