Pop Culture Universe
Tonight I reseached the Pop Culture Universe Database. This is a really fun data base. It not only has a really cool look to it but the way it works is really neat. It is visually interesting as well as very user friendly. You can search by decade by persons name and by subject, even by place like Europe, Asia, or Hollywood. Some subjects you can search include food and drinks, fashion, sports, films and religion. When you click these links they will take you to articles about that topic then you can limit your search by year, people and place. It is nice becuase it can be a general or specific as you want which would really come in handy when a student is searching for topics to write a paper about. The database will even bring up entire books that include an index at the side where you can search different topics that are covered in the book. There is a decade search that will bring up any decade you chose from the present to the 1920's. It then gives you an overview of the decade and links to other things you would ever want to know about that decade, like what was happening in politics, what were the latest fashion trends, and what song was at the top of the charts. It is a really interesting site that it full of excitment and fun information.
