Founded in 1998, Questia Media, Inc., launched its revolutionary online library in January 2001, with powerful search and writing tools created specifically to help students do better research and write better papers. Questia provides unlimited access to the full content of an extensive collection of books and journal articles, as well as a wide range of tools, including highlighter, markup, automatic footnotes and bibliography builder. For millions of students and researchers, the Questia service enables them to efficiently research and compose papers at any time, from virtually every connected corner of the world. Based in Houston, Questia is delivering on the true promise of the Internet by providing access to a wealth of human knowledge.
Since the launch of its online academic library in January 2001, Questia has achieved widespread success among students, educators, and researchers in the higher education market. More recently, Questia has seen an increased demand for an online companion to physical libraries among the secondary school market due in part to increasing book prices and shrinking school district budgets. Using Questia as an online companion, school districts can affordably extend their physical library's reach, capability, and availability for a fraction of the cost.
