Da Vinci Code

I attended the Metro Atlanta Library Association <http://www.matllib.org/> Summer meeting on Monday afternoon. The topic was Dan Brown's best seller The Da Vinci Code.

A Google search provides 2, 360,000 hits.
Most folks will only go through the first two screens of a Google hit list.

I went to GALILEO to see what I could find that wouldn't be just advertising the book on Amazon.com.
  • EbscoHost- 435 links
  • ProQuest- 146 links
  • LexisNexis Academic- Quick search- 125 links- the maximum for Quick search
  • LexisNexis Academic - Advanced search- (using General News, Magazines and Journals, 2000-2005) 244 links

Interesting articles about the book, Da Vinci, the church, etc. Check out GALILEO for information before you jump into the wild web.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to Georgia citizens from their librarian.
