PERSON SEARCH
You can search for a person two ways: Name Search and
Biographical Facts Search.
NAME SEARCH
For Name Search, simply enter a name in the Name Search
box and select whether you want to search for biographies
only of most-studied people or across the entire database for
all results of a name you enter. If you know your person’s
full name or last name, you can check the box for name con-
tains. If you are unsure, you can check the box for start of
last name and type in as much of the name as you know and
the database will return the list of names that start with these
letters. Science Resource Center will search for documents as
you requested.
BIOGRAPHICAL FACTS SEARCH
The Person Search feature also allows you to perform highly
targeted searches on the biographical database to identify
individuals who match any of the following search criteria:
occupation, name, nationality, ethnicity, birth and death
years, birth and death locations, and gender. By entering
any biographical information you automatically restrict the
search to biographies only.
For occupation, you may choose from a compiled list of
occupations or type in the term if it is not in the list. The
Reset Occupation list link will erase the occupation in the
box so you can then select another occupation from the
list. Once you perform the search, a list of names of people
matching the occupation selected and any other criteria
selected will appear. If you click on one of the names, the
biographies will be displayed on the Reference tab.

scientists who were born before 1960. The Results screen
listed 16 names, including such widely studied scientists as
Albert Einstein and Wernher Von Braun.
