On July 23, 2000 XanEdu.Com, a division of Bell & Howell ProQuest was launched to provide a collection of online content and services created expressly for students, faculty, and higher education institutions. Among other things, the company operates one of the largest commercial databases of scholarly articles in the world. Nearly all-academic areas and a large number of scholarly journals are included. From this digital repository, and under the authorship of professors, the service creates electronic coursepacks of articles appropriate for specific courses. The authors (university instructors and scholars) select the articles and write original pedagogical material that contextualizes the collection. All of the coursepacks are professionally reviewed and routinely updated.
