Biographies & People

**Print Resources ** ~ Physical books prepared by subject-area experts presenting primary and secondary source information as well as statistics, images, facts, and/or narrative.
 * Most print resources on **Biography** and **People** will be located in **920s (collected biographies) and 921s (individual people).** In 921, search by the first 3 letters of the __subject's__ last name.
 * Keep in mind that you may need to EXPAND your search. For example, we may not have an entire book about Albert Einstein, but there might be a chapter about him in a book about Great Scientists.
 * Specific people may be found by searching the Online Catalog.
