Information about people can be found in books, journals, and websites. To find books, do a Subject search in the Library Catalogue for a specific individual (e.g., Jackson, A. Y.). or do a Keyword Search using appropriate terms, such as, artist and biography. Many people will not have had an entire book written about them, so be sure to check BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARIES, which are compilations of biographical information on numerous individuals. A list of bibliographical references may be included in these sources also which can be useful for finding additional information.
