A couple of month’s ago, Shirl posted this Resource of the Week titled, “Free Stuff From Pricey Database Vendors”. Today, another freebie. This time from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (deceased citizens of the UK) and Oxford University Press. A free full textg biography from the dictionary is posted daily and can be accessed via email, RSS, or by visting this page where the full text of DNB bios are kept for one week (so, make sure to save those of special interest). This feature is officially named “Life of the Day” and “Lives of the Week.”
