Question #36: Where can I find Biographies?

This is obviously a very broad category, but one that we encounter a lot. We know where they are on the shelves, and we know what databases we have on the subject, but where can we go online for accurate biographical information? In other words, what else is there besides Wikipedia that we can reliably depend on? And, if you have something to say about our print and database resources, chime in on that as well. Please give us your thoughts!
