It's a Pop World, After All

摘要

It's colorful, vibrant, interactive, and difficult to log out of for anyone who loves, lives, studies, or teaches pop culture. As such, it deserves a special mention in LJ's pages, for rarely does a database come along promising not only to inform and keep us up to date but also to entertain and even inspire. These days, pop culture is un-apologetically served in high doses (how else do we explain our society's fascination with celebrities not even old enough to vote?); it is for this reason that Greenwood's brand new POP CULTURE UNIVERSE (PCU) database, scheduled for release this summer, promises to deliver a dynamic (and, yes, fun!) research experience. But make no mistake about the scope of its content, since it reaches far beyond film and music to include subjects as varied as sports, fashion, technology, graphic novels, food, and even politics.
