Finding Books and Articles

Find Biographical Information on OneSearch

If you're looking for someone who is fairly well-known, chances are good that we have books and/or articles about them. Go to OneSearch, and select Subject from the Any Field drop-down menu. Type in the person's last name, first name, as in the example below about Alison Bechdel.

 

If you don't find any relevant items in OneSearch, the next step is to look in an article database such as ProQuest Research Library or MLA International Bibliography

 

Finding sources on artists

Artcyclopedia.com: search for an artist to see where their works are held.

Biographies and encyclopedias: reference sources.
