Questia was a business that gave online access to a digital library of books and articles. These books and articles were selected to help students and teachers.[1] It had a lot of books and journal articles about the humanities and social sciences.[2] Most items are under copyright. Google Book Search has 7 million books in their library, but users can only see small parts of copyrighted books.
Questia offered some information for free, including several public domain works, publication information, tables of contents, the first page of every chapter, Boolean searches of the contents of the library, and short bibliographies of available books and articles on some 6500 topics.
