Penguins - Biographies for Women's History Month - February 2004
Hint: Although each site works
a little diferently, in general, it is best to phrase your search in the
following order:
Last name, First Name - for
example, King, Martin Luther Jr.
BUT, if your search does not find any
results, check that you have spelled the person's name correctly
and repeat your search. Next, try
entering the name in First name Last name order.
No luck? Don't get discouraged, try
another website.
Biographical Dictionary - Click on "Search the Directory". Enter your person's name in the "Name" box and click on begin search.
Lives - Search for your person by clicking on the Letter that starts your person's last name listed as "Individual Lives". Scroll down the listing, which is arranged alphabetically by last name.
Infoplease: Biographies - Enter your person's name in the search box. Pull down the menu reading All Infoplease and select Biographies. Check out the "Biographies by Category" links as well.
