Yesterday

Yesterday JWF mentioned how you can set Google to display in Klingon. He mentioned that the Bible and Shakespeare had been translated into Klingon but he didn't provide links. Well, it made me curious.

I began to wonder are those Urban Legends or do those translations really exist?

Using Google (in English) I found the Bible in Klingon. I found the Klingon Institute has translated Hamlet. I found Sonnet #18 and other references to Shakespeare but not the whole body of work translated into Klingon.

Well, that's Google but what about GALILEO?

Using the basic search tab - I did a search for Klingon AND Shakespeare limiting the results to peer reviewed- no junk here...and I chose 9 databases: Book Collection:Non-Fiction, NoveList, Literary Reference Center, Science and Technology Collection, Literature Online, Academic Search Complete, Book Index with Reviews and Research Library.

You do know how to search through multiple databases in GALILEO, don't you? If not stop by and we'll show you this incredibly useful tool.

On with the search-
Are you a betting person?
Which resources had something about Klingon AND Shakespeare?
Were there any hits at all for Klingon AND Shakespeare in GALILEO??

Surprisingly - yes.

Academic Search Complete - 1
Book Index with Reviews - 4
Research Library - 2

So go ahead- dive into GALILEO and read all about it! You may get the current password to use GALILEO at home from your Georgia librarian.
