Now for the first time, with the advent of digital technology, Something about the Author is available online to subscribers. Not only does this make it possible to search a database of over 19,000 biographical, autobiographical, and obituary entries for information on childrens book authors and illustrators, but it does so in a way that makes the information far more accessible to a far wider audience than ever before.Search for information, store it, share it, and use it for research purposes. For students, researchers, and academics SATA Online provides a wealth of material for presentations, papers, and more just waiting to be discovered at the touch of a button and the click of a mouse.More importantly this is a resource that continues to grow and is constantly updated with entries for new and emerging talent. SATA is an indispensable reference resource not to be missed.", }
