The relation between the two notions quasifactors and joinings is inves- tigated and the notion of a joining quasifactor is introduced. We clarify the close connection between quasifactors and symmetric infinite selfjoinings which arises from de Finetti-Hewitt-Savage theorem. Unlike the zero entropy case where quasifactors seems to preserve some properties of their parent system, it is shown that any er- godic system of positive entropy admits all ergodic systems of positive entropy as quasifactors. A restricted version of this result is obtained for joining quasifactors.
