"Questions about the lives of people are popular with patrons of all ages and librarians must be prepared to assist these patrons in their research" (p. 464). In this chapter, Jeanne Holba Puacz looks at the many uses and characteristics of biographical and genealogical sources, how to evaluate and select these types of sources and provides a deeper look at some of the more important general sources. Puacz also looks at several search strategies to help deepen your understanding of the best way to locate biographical or genealogical information.
