For Immediate Release
STILLWATER - OSU students, staff and faculty now have one more research tool to utilize. Marquis Who’s Who on the Web is a searchable online database of comprehensive profiles on more than 1.4 million people from all fields of endeavor, including government, business, science and technology, the arts, entertainment and sports.
To access Who’s Who, click the “Databases” link on the Library’s home page and select “Who’s Who Online.” Searches may be initiated by name, gender, occupation, geography, hobbies and interests, religion, birth year and more.
The online service searches through all of the Who’s Who titles back to 1985. A search for older entries will require the OSU Library’s print copies, which date to the early 1900s.
Marquis Who’s Who Online updates records daily, so users conducting a search can find the most relevant, up-to-date information possible.
If you have questions about this or other electronic library resources, contact the Digital Library Services office at 405-744-9161 or email lib-dls@okstate.edu.
