There are several ways to locate an author’s credentials:
- Journal articles often include a short author bio at the beginning or end of the article.
- Books may list the author’s background on the book jacket or inside the back cover.
- Biographical reference sources like Contemporary Authors or Who’s Who in America can provide more detailed information.
- Author websites and Google Scholar profiles often include academic and professional credentials.
- You can also search for the author’s name along with their institution or place of employment to verify their qualifications.
If you need help locating any of these sources, library staff are happy to assist.
