OCLC Biographical Module, Version 1.59
There have been visitors to this
page since 15 January 1998.
The purpose of this module is to answer your
biographical question using more than 150 reference sources. First,
the module will ask you to record your question. Then,
you will be asked to answer a series of, up to eight, questions
about your subject which will lead
to: (1) the single, best reference source,
regardless of language which contains the answer
to your question along
with the nearest library location or (2)
the actual answer.
Please type your question inside the box below by moving your mouse and clicking inside the box. For example, "Who is John Smith?" Now, press the box marked "Submit Query" or "Reset" if you make a serious typing error.

System for Use in Reference Environments," College and Research
