• Biography for Beginners includes 800+ biographies of historic and contemporary figures from Colonial America and notable people in many categories, such as African Americans, explorers, authors, women, inventors, athletes, and entertainers.
• U.S. and World Biography includes 10,000+ biographies of notable people, mostly historic, from around the world. Biographies range from short dictionary-type entries on lesser-known figures to longer illustrated entries (2,000-6,000 words) on the people most heavily researched. This database is a great starting point for research. Browsing is easy, using the topical indexes, providing students a springboard to use in selecting a person to research.
• Sports Champions features profiles of 750+ athletes who competed in 45+ sports. From 1973 to 2013, the much-loved print edition of this title supported research and browsing in libraries across the country. Now available exclusively online, Sports Champions offers profiles that go well beyond the player’s stats. Inspiring stories of overcoming adversity, dealing with setbacks, and personal character are easy to search in multiple ways. Indexes help students discover champions in their favorite sports, including baseball, basketball, football, and hockey, as well as lesser-known champions in sports from archery to weightlifting.
