abstract = "American National Biography provides access through a subscription to biographies of over 19,000 historical figures that helped to shape American history. The biographies span from pre-World War II to the present, with an emphasis on historical and cultural figures. The price varies
and is based on subscription type and institution or a personal subscription, but primarily on number of users. The interface could use improvement in its advanced search features, response to queries, and incorporating automated responses. But searchability by occupation is a benefit. The
content is ideal for basic research, serving needs of schools, the public, academics, and individuals with its concise content on each individual.",
