MEL Library Research: Pathfinder - Physicists

Text Resources

While we have a few individual biographies of physicists, we have more collective biographies. Do a subject search for “physicists” in the library catalogue. You will find 11 books. Then browse the 530 section. Note that some books on physics will also discuss physicists.

Use the science encyclopedias in the reference section (REF 503), as well as

The Biographical Dictionary Of Scientists (REF 920.5), and the biographical dictionaries (REF 920).

General encyclopedias are found along the west wall of the library.
