A number of important sources for biographical information are found both electronically and in print in our Library. The print reference collection, known as Biography Reference, is located in the stacks area behind the Electronic Research Center (ERC) of the Main Library Reference room, Goldfarb Library, Level 1. In LOUIS, the online catalog, its location code is also called Biography Reference.
This guide will give you some great resources to consult!
For those who may not be familiar with our online and major or key resources, we've created a new section entitled "firststop". Many of these are full-text.
Any online sources throughout this guide that are full-text are indicated with a colored icon "F" tile, for "full-text", next to the title.
For further assistance with biographical reference questions, please consult a Reference Librarian, or contact:.
