This database contains a balanced selection of scholarly sources and popular magazines/news articles. It also indexes Current Biography, which could be a good source for your assignment. Use the drop-down options to search for your person as a "People" or for articles in a specific publication (i.e. "Journal Name").
In addition to news articles, this database includes transcripts from radio programs (e.g. NPR's Fresh Air) as well as television broadcasts. Looking for an interview? Try adding the term "interview" to your search or add PZ ("Transcript") to search specifically for transcripts.
The entries in this database are written by expert scholars - check to see if your person is listed in this database, particularly if he or she is a historical figure.
This database contains encyclopedias for a wide-range of disciplines. While many of the entries are relatively short, there may be helpful information on your topic.
Search for your selected person as a subject or author (Lastname, Firstname) to see if the library has a published autobiography or biography in its collection.
