To do effective research on authors and their works, there is an essential distinction that must be understood. It is so obvious that many overlook it.
"Know the Difference Between an Author Search and a Subject Search"
In an online catalog, to find all books written by a person, search for their name as Author
In an online catalog, to find all books written about a person and their works, search for their name as Subject
