The databases below are a good place to look for biographical materials. When accessing the databases from home, log in with your Central Piedmont username and password.
To search the databases, use keywords. For example "Eric Carle" for results related to that author. You can also use last name first name (example: Sendak, Maurice or Maurice Sendak). Connect two search terms using AND (example. "Maurice Sendak" AND"biography.") If you need additional help, feel free to get in touch with a librarian.
