Where are the biographies?
Answer
The library does not have a single section of biographies like public libraries. Biographies are located throughout the entire collection and are best found using our Discovery Search (the main search box on the library homepage.)
Type the name of the person in the first search box. Add the word Biography in the second search box. Use the dropdown menus next to each to select "Subject Terms" then click Search.
Finally, limit your results to Books and eBooks under the Source Types limiter (found under All Filters). You should now have a list of biographies and autobiographies for the individual.
