    Frequently Asked Question:
    Biographies
    Q: Where can I find biographies on the Internet and in books? A : Hello, There are many biography resources, including Web sites, books and encyclopedias. Some biography resources focus on all kinds of famous people, and others focus on people related to a certain subject or group of people (e.g., astronauts, presidents, African-Americans). You can choose which resources to use depending on the person you are studying. To find biography sites on the Internet, I used sites that were suggested by other KidsConnect volunteers. When you are looking for the biography of a specific person, you can use a search engine such as Alta Vista (altavista.digital.com) and type: +biography +"[person's name]" example: +biography +"Maya Angelou" GENERAL BIOGRAPHY SITES 1.
