About the Author

Did you ever need to find information about a certain author but have no idea where to look? Start with the Literature Resource Center, which contains material on over 120,000 authors, including biographies, bibliographies, critical essays, interviews, book reviews, journal articles and much more.

To get started, first go to Research from the library’s homepage.  Then, choose Literature and scroll down to find the Literature Resource Center.  There are several search options such as the author’s name, keyword or even title. The results of a search are broken down by content area, which is handy if you are specifically looking for a biography, book review or a primary source.  

When I need a comparison of the works of Emily and Charlotte Brontë from an academic journal or just a listing of titles by Stephen King (including those written under a pseudonym), Literature Resource Center is my starting point.
