Other Background Information About People
- Other Background Information About People
- Spock is a free service which finds news articles about people. It searches networking sites and the Web. Spock also shows the person's relationships to other people. When I looked myself up, I found an excerpt from aallnet.org which contained a short biography. Upon searching someone’s name, click on “sponsored ads” links. These will take you to such services as U.S. Search, Intelius or Peoplefinders.com, which may give you limited free information, such as cities the person lived in and possible relatives.
- Zoominfo gathers information about people in their professional capacities and about companies. The site is free. You can find a person’s articles, presentations and job history. Unless a person actually edits their profile, a profile generated automatically by Zoom may be incorrect or out of date. For example, Zoom lists me as being on the Board of Directors of the Cleveland Law Library. If I am, I have missed an awful lot of meetings.
- Pipl.com searches the deep web and returns phone, address, date of birth, court records and more.
- Newspapers and General Internet Searches. Voyager provides links to free newspapers on the web. Lexis (ALLNWS or other) and Westlaw (ALLNEWS or other) , America's Newspapers: Newsbank and many more available to CSU students. Also available via the Cleveland Public Library.
