Q. Can you help me find biographical information and literary studies on Sappho?

Depending on the types of resources you need, you could locate books in our library catalog, use a database to find Encyclopedia entries, and use a database to find journal articles on your topic.

• Our catalog has several books by and about the poet Sappho. Enter the term "sappho" in the search box. You will notice quite a few relevant titles, such as: Sappho (PA4408.E5 B37 1958, also available as an ebook), Sappho and Her Influence (PA4409 .R6 1963), and Sappho of Lesbos: Her Life and Times (PA4409 .W44 1932).
• Given that there are several books that begin with PA4408 and PA4409, you could browse the shelves that have that call number range.
• For general biographical information, you might consult an encyclopedic database, such as Credo Reference
• The database Academic Search Complete would be a good resource for locating literary studies and journal articles about Sappho and her poetry.
