Getting Started

Some places to start:

1. Look in the Pepperdine University Library catalog by subject. If a full-length biography is in the Pepperdine University collection, an entry will appear under the name of the person.

2. Good encyclopedias contain biographical material about well-known people of all nationalities.

3. E-Books can be a great place to find biographies, Try Ebrary and search for 'biography."
