You've read everything by your favorite author, including the latest release. Now what? You've asked your friends what they like to read, you've browsed the bookstore shelves, you've even started to look through your own collection to see who you haven't read lately...
Try GALILEO
You did get the password for home use? No? Did you notice the Log in via IP link? It will take you to your local Georgia public library (based on a Georgia IP address)
Select Databases A-Z
Select NoveList
Type in your authors name.
At the Search line click on the Author button
When the list of titles by your favorite author comes up- you may see a title you missed but more importantly -
Look for the Author Read-alikes link (not all authors have a Read Alike…)Click on that - read about your author then see who is like them!
Notice the Find it in WorldCat link under each title? That will tell you which library has that book (and how close they are to your IP address).
If you need a little Readers Advice and you don't know who to ask- try NoveList in GALILEO.
