Abstract

Purpose The purpose of the study is to discuss Questia, a library database that is marketed directly to student users. Design/methodology/approach Opinion piece. Findings From a student’s perspective, Questia is very useful. It would not be a useful addition to undergraduate libraries, even if site licenses are available. Research limitations/implications It would be interesting to design a study to compare library skills of undergraduates who are subscribed to Questia with those who participate in traditional library instruction sessions. Practical implications It is suggested that Questia should be recommended to an undergraduate student who is struggling with basic research skills or who is especially pressed for time. Originality/value There are no scholarly articles discussing Questia after 2012.

我们能把更多的图书馆费用转嫁给学生吗

本研究的目的是讨论Questia，一个直接面向学生用户销售的图书馆数据库。设计/方法/方法。从学生的角度来看，Questia是非常有用的。即使网站许可是可用的，它对大学图书馆来说也不是一个有用的补充。设计一项研究来比较订阅了Questia的大学生和参加传统图书馆教学课程的大学生的图书馆技能，这将是一件有趣的事情。实际意义我们建议应该推荐给那些在基本研究技能上挣扎或时间特别紧迫的本科生。原创/价值2012年以后没有学术文章讨论Questia。
