1. Look in encyclopedias like World Book Encyclopedia or Encyclopedia Britannica for
general information about scientists.
2. Other books, both in print and online, can be helpful like David Darling’s Encyclopedia of
Science.

3. Here are the URL’s for some additional online resources intended to be used by
students that might prove helpful in identifying scientists connected to your research.
Be sure when you do your research you focus on the scientific information, not the
personal information about the scientists.
