One expects it to emphasize celebrities, but many entries are drawn from Cambridge Dictionary of American Biography (1995), hence Caesar Rodney is found alongside Sid Caesar and Rodney Dangerfield. Nevertheless, the bias towards entertainers and the recently famous is pronounced: Elizabeth I is given 250 words while more than 1,000 are devoted to Elizabeth Taylor, along with a photograph, a fairly complete filmography, and hotlinks to assorted husbands and colleagues elsewhere in the database. Users can search by first or last name or browse an alphabetical list; there is no full-text search capability. Keyword and date searching are both available for the 28,000 people in Biographical Dictionary offered by S9.com, but its entries are generally only one sentence long and there is no on-site explanation of who or what S9 is or what biographical sources were consulted in its creation.

There are several types of biographical dictionaries. They range from the "universal" dictionaries, such as WEBSTER'S BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY, which include people from all times, countries and occupations, to the very selective, such as WHO'S WHO IN BRITISH ADVERTISING. In practice, when searching for biographical information you will use as many different sources as you can, limited only by your collection and your imagination. Among the most useful places to check are encyclopedias, almanacs, dictionaries, magazine articles (often found through the use of READERS' GUIDE) and any book available in the biographee's subject field. When you read a biography remember that the truth is never fit for publication. -Shaw If you can find out from your patron a few basic clues about the person, you will have a big advantage. Key questions to ask if you are not familiar yourself with a name are: Is the person still living? If not, about when does the patron think the person lived? Nationality? Occupation?

Mus Ref ML 106 .G7 B56 1998 Use : Purpose to provide biographies of all the musicians and instrument makers employed by the English Court from the beginning of the reign of Henry VII in 1485 to the end of the reign of Queen Anne in 1714. Coverage : Includes not only the best-known musicians of the period, but also minor figures with little or no prior biographical recognition. Limited to the period 1485-1714 because information prior to this time is sketchy, and music ceased to play an important role in Court life after the death of Queen Anne in 1714. Organization Pros : Useful as a comprehensive guide to court musicians of the period. Relatively more attention is given to minor figures and those new to a dictionary entry.
