18 March 2003. A subscriber asked about finding biographical information on government agency employees.

The person did not specify an interest in state or federal agency employees, or say whether the information sought was for a current or former employee. Therefore, I'll mention a range of possibilities.

You usually find commercially published biographies written about important or famous people.

If you want a biography about someone in this category, try these three resources:

• Amazon.com. Go to the advanced search feature for books and enter the last name (and first name, if necessary) of the employee as a subject term.

• Government employee discounts
• Deputy assistant secretary of state
• Director department of labor

Path from the Amazon home page: Do a Search, then follow the Advanced Search link. Example: search Tenet as a "subject word" to find two hearings on his nomination to be Deputy Director and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, respectively.

Both, by the way, are out of print.
