Where would I look for a biography of an individual?
Answer
Biographies include the word 'biography' in the Library of Congress Subject headings. Do an advanced search with 'biography' searched as subject in the first search, then enter another descriptor as keywords to help limit it to a person or group of biographies.
In particular, to find biographies of individuals who have shaped the Christian church working in medical work is to do a subject search in Research Central for Missionaries, Medical – Biography. This would give you specifically missionaries who work with medicine as a part of their work for the church.
Missionaries, Medical -- Biography
This link should give you access to the search in Research Central. If you wish to limit to items we have in WWU, you can select Available at WWU option at the top of the search. Or if you have a little bit of time you can also look through items that are available in Summit. These can be requested using the Availability & Request Options and logging into your account. Summit items will usually take a week to arrive but can then be checked out for 6 weeks.
