A New Research Service for Those Last-Minute Projects
by Bill Stieg and Lisa Jones

Back in the late '90s, college students could find a term paper and print it out with just a few clicks. It left so much time for partying, it almost made the expulsion for plagiarism worth it. Times change. Kids today--and Weakest Link rejects--can do legitimate research quickly with a new-fangled Web tool called Questia.com. It's an online library that lets you search and copy from full-text books and journals--and it'll do your footnoting and bibliography automatically. It's $20 a month or $150 a year, or you can get the panic service of 1 week for $10. It works: We plugged in "Nietzsche" and "nihilism" and got 416 results. We also got confused and depressed.
