Here is a guide to biographies of scientists from a wide variety of scientific fields. As fewer students in the United States choose to pursue graduate studies or careers in science, "Biographies of Scientists for Sci-tech Libraries" is a tool for inspiring individual students to follow any leanings toward science they already have. Sci-tech librarians should find this a helpful resource for furthering their understanding and appreciation of science as a broadly based and creative experience. The books selected for this descriptive bibliography helps librarians shatter readers' stereotypes of scientists as monomaniacal and uninteresting people by providing interesting and provocative titles to capture the interest of students and other readers. The biographies included in this bibliography were carefully selected for their humour and human insights to give future scientists encouragement, inspiration, and an understanding of the origins of particular scientific fields. These biographies explore the whole personality of the scientist, giving students a glimpse at the variety and drama of the lives beyond well-known contributions or Nobel prize accomplishments.
