Locating Biographical Resources
Biographical dictionaries and Directories. Biographical dictionaries providebrief, factual information about people, living or deceased.
http://www.library.wwu.edu/ref/howtoguides/biog3.htm

Extractions: There are several ways to go about locating biographical information. For books on individual subjects and collective biographical works, search the Online Catalog using your person's name as a subject, for example: ANGELOU, MAYA - Biography Other sources of biographical information, typically more brief than books, can be located through some basic types of biographical sources: Biographical Indexes Biographical Directories , and Biographical Dictionaries Biographical Indexes Biographical indexes are designed to condense the search process by indexing both major and lesser biographical dictionaries and collective biographies. The Biography and Genealogy Master Index or BGMI ( From the Library Homepage: Search Databases, Browse Indexes and Databases Alphabetically is a comprehensive index to more than 10 million biographical sketches in over 1000 current and retrospective biographical dictionaries, covering contemporary and historical figures throughout the world.

Extractions: Basics on Australian . . . BDMs etc Biography Convicts ... Feedback SAG has an excellent range of family histories, biographies of individuals and collected biographies in its collections. Not just published work, but much unpblished work, not to be found elsewhere. So before you embark on your research, consult our collections to avoid re-inventing the wheel! SAG's collections are divided in two: the Australasian Collection at Richmond Villa, 120 Kent Street, Sydney, and the Overseas Collection at Rumsey Hall, 24 Kent Street. So, in a typical family history that covers both aspects, where will the book or pamphlet be located? If the book/pamphlet deals exclusively with the Overseas section of a family's story, the book will be located in the Overseas Collection. If it deals exclusively with the Australasian section then it will be located in the Australasian Collection. If it deals with both, we don't tear the book apart! It will be located in the Australasian Collection.

http://americanart.si.edu/art_info/artdetective/biography.cfm

Extractions: Back to: Researching Your Art Menu If you know the artist's name, consult biographical dictionaries to learn some basic, but important facts about the artist. Often, these publications are organized by regions (e.g., Dictionary of New Orleans Artists ), by subject (e.g., Dictionary of Marine Artists ), by media (e.g., Dictionary of Western Sculptors in Bronze ), or by time periods (e.g., Handbook of 17th-, 18th- and 19th-Century American Painters ). Please see our appendix for a comprehensive bibliography. Biographical dictionaries provide vital statistics, including life dates; locations of birth, death, and activity; school affiliations including where the artist studied or taught; and memberships in artistic clubs or societies such as the National Academy of Design. Some dictionaries also provide variant spellings of the artist's name, information on when and where the artist exhibited, or list the whereabouts of the artist's major works. Because an artist might be listed in more than one dictionary, checking several might help you develop a greater understanding of the artist. Falk, Peter Hastings, ed.

Extractions: EVALUATION OF SOURCES Just because information appears in print or on the Internet does not mean that it is true. As a student, you must learn to be critical of the sources you plan to use for your research. While you are in the process of gathering your information, you will need to be examining each source and measuring it against certain criteria. Information Found in World Wide Web EVALUATING INFORMATION FOUND IN PRINT SOURCES An important aspect of research is careful evaluation and selection of source material. The voluminous amount of books and articles available today makes this task a difficult, albeit an imperative, one. The following "tips" are offered to help you make better critical judgments about your sources. Examine the source carefully for the following: TITLE : Does it identify the scope and purpose of the book? AUTHOR'S CREDENTIALS Who's Who in America Current Biography Contemporary Authors , and Directory of American Scholars are a few noted biographical dictionaries.
