Search Tips

• try searching "chef's biography" or "cooks biography" if you do not have a specifc chef in mind
• try searching your chef as a keyword using quotation marks:  "julia child"
• to search your chef as a subject (books about him/her), start your search with su:last name, first name
• to search for books written by your chef (his/her works), start your search with au:last name, first name
• use Advanced Search to combine search categories, as well as limit by date, format, etc.
• remember we may not have a book on a particular chef, but he or she may be listed in a book featuring a number of chefs, e.g., Great Chefs of the East
• to search other libraries, select Libraries Worldwide from the drop-down box

Here is sample list of just some of the books in the Madigan Library collection. If you do not find a book specifically about a certain figure, you may need to search more broadly and look at the Table of Contents or the Index of a book to see if your influential figure is mentioned there or in a more comprehensive source. Find others source books by searching WorldCat.
