After writing about finding book reviews for Wolf Hall, I began to think about finding other historical fiction to read. NoveList in GALILEO is a useful Readers Advisory tool.
A search in NoveList for Wolf Hall provided links to Find Similar Books, reviews, Subject headings, and the public World Cat.
When you select the Find Similar Books link, you are given a check list to limit your search to Required or Desired subject headings. I think that's a very interesting distinction- is the topic required in the story or just desired? The default setting is for desired. What would you choose as a required subject or a desired subject in your Find Similar Books choice?
You may get the password to use GALILEO at home from your Georgia librarian.
