3. Internet Resources biography resources. Finding information on the famous, infamous, and obscure. Thereare links to both general and specific resources, such as “Information http://www.ala.org/acrl/resjan02.html

January 2002 INTERNET RESOURCES Biography resources Finding information on the famous, infamous, and obscure by Susan A. Schreiner and Michael A. Somers Finding biographical information on the Internet is both time-consuming and frustrating. While any particular name can retrieve a number of hits on any search engine of your choice, finding current, accurate biographies can be difficult. Fortunately, the Internet is a rich source of diverse biographical information, and the following sites will guide users to an array of information on numerous topics. This collection is by no means comprehensive (what guide on the Internet is?), but the sites were chosen for the depth of their articles or the sheer bulk of biographical materials available. Biographical search engines Freeality. Access: http://www.freeality.com/biograph.htm Yahoo: People. Access: http://dir.yahoo.com/Society_and_Culture/People/ General biography Biography.com. Access: http://biography.com/ Biographical Dictionary. Offering information on more than 28,000 persons, this site is another good starting point for biographical research. Usually presenting good and somewhat in-depth preliminary information on historical figures, this site tends to be weaker on current biography. While sometimes providing more information than Biography.com, it is presented in a less readable fashion. Overall, this is a good site that will help students find basic information, especially on historical figures. Access: http://www.s9.com/biography/
