The new DNB online is a wonderful but expensive tool.
What is not generally known is that due to a deal between Oxford Press and the UK government you can access it for free if you have a library card!

Go to http://www.oxforddnb.com/auth/login.jsp and enter the card number in the Library Card Login field and that's it.

Even aliens like me can access it with a card from Caird Library or TNA.

PS: DNB even the new version is not God's word. As always more than one source is better: I have found errors there even gross.
