BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

http://www.cnu.edu/library/itg/BioInfo.html

Extractions: BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SELECTED SOURCES Research on most subjects can be approached through the lives of individuals involved with the topic. For example, to learn more about the polio vaccine, you should read about Jonas Salk, its developer. The way you search for biographical information will depend on the question being asked and the amount and extent of information needed. General steps would be: 1. use the online catalog to locate books about (subject or word searches) or by (author search) the individual; 2. consult a general or subject encyclopedia; 3. use a biographical index; 4. look in a biographical dictionary; 5. use Newsbank for current newspaper articles on the individual; 6. ask a Reference Librarian for assistance. Finding information on famous people is not difficult; it's the not-so-famous which can be more complicated. Knowing basic information about the person such as nationality, profession, and whether they are alive today can simplify your search. BIOGRAPHICAL INDEXES are indirect sources of information. They index the biographical literature which appears in books, periodicals, newspapers and reference sources. Author Biographies Master Index (Ref PN452 A96) Indexes over 365 biographical dictionaries; good for finding information about authors. Current edition in Reference; others in the General Collection.
