Project Muse.

This is my first blog...how exciting!!! Today I spent the better part of an hour browsing through Project Muse. I was suprised by how user friendly this data-base is. Project Muse provides access to SO many journals, and then sub links on different topics that a user might be interested in. I did a search on french fashion. The data-base brought up many different articles and then had little sub-topics I could click on. From one search, after clicking on interesting sub-topics, I ended up reading an article about Avant-Garde Architecture. I thought it was really neat, and super easy to use. I also liked the options that drop down beside each search. I could type in a key word then I could limit the data base to looking for articles with that word in the title or search authors that had that word in their name and so on. That was really handy. One thing I thought was really awesome was the language option. There are over twenty-five languages you can chose from. Project Muse is really useful, and I am sure I haven't even seen the half of it.
