A Note for Former HighBeam Users

After many years of successfully serving the needs of our customers, HighBeam Research has been retired.

Because HighBeam Research has closed down we have taken you to our sister website Questia, an award-winning Cengage Learning product.

About us

Located in downtown Chicago, Questia is the premier online research and paper writing
resource. Since its founding in 1998, Questia has helped students find and cite
high-quality, scholarly research. With emphasis on subjects related to the humanities
and social sciences, Questia provides the resources needed to complete most college-level,
core-curriculum course assignments.

The Questia library contains books and journal articles on subjects such as history,
philosophy, economics, political science, English and literature, anthropology,
psychology, and sociology. It also includes magazine and newspaper articles.

In January 2010, Questia was acquired by Cengage Learning, the leading provider
of innovative teaching, learning, and research solutions for professional, library,
and academic audiences worldwide. Since then, Questia's library has continued to
grow, and advanced tools for research and writing have been fine-tuned to meet the
needs of the academic community. Today, more students are using Questia than ever
before.
