The evaluators also note that updates to the more than 2,000 biographies in DISCovering Biography are provided during the subscription year. This reference tool offers multiple search paths so that students can easily discover rich, informative biographies of nearly 2,000 individuals most frequently studied in the classroom. Students can search by any combination of fields, including name, pseudonym or nickname, ethnicity or nationality, gender, date of birth or death, awards, and occupation. Each biography contains a Life and Times section that provides a background of dates, people, and events from the individual's time period in history. A timeline pinpoints important dates and events, giving students greater understanding of the biographee and his or her place in history.
Students can print information or save portions of the CD-ROM to a disk.
