Subject: ProQuest-New CultureGrams Updates

Just wanted to let everyone know about the New Updates for CultureGrams.

Updates:

1.      New Recipes and Pro Sports Teams sections in the States and Provinces editions.

2.      Expanded video, photo, and slideshow galleries.

3.      New MLA format in the citation generator.

4.      Updated reports to reflect government changes.

So What!

1.      Recipes have long been a popular feature in the World Edition, and now we offer two recipes reflecting the local cuisine of each U.S. state and Canadian province. Try gumbo from Louisiana, red chili from Texas, seafood chowder from Nova Scotia, and many more great dishes. Also new to the States and Provinces editions are Pro Sports Teams sections listing all the major sports franchises.

2.      We’ve added scores of new photos, 66 new video segments from around the globe (China, India, Peru, Senegal, and more), and 20 new slideshows on topics that include the mosques of Iran, the traditional art of South Korea, and futebol fever in Brazil.

3.      The citation generator now reflects the MLA’s recent changes for internet resource citations.

4.      We’ve made sure all reports reflect the latest government changes and are completely up-to-date.


Also, don’t forget the great feature launched with our last updates in June: Faces of the World interviews.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
