One of the Library's research databases, Biography - Gale in Context is a good resource for finding information about famous and/or influential people, including historical figures and pop-culture celebrities.  Biography - Gale in Context pulls together articles and features from reliable sources, including specialized encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers, media, and scholarly journals.

To search for biographies or sources about a specific person in the Library's collection, search the catalog available on the Library's homepage.
