Like many other academic libraries, the SU Library uses the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system to organize our books.  In LCC, there isn't a specific section for biographies; they're included with the appropriate subject instead.  For example, biographies of artists are with the art books, biographies of scientists with the science books, etc.  To find a biography, search for the name of the person you're looking for in the library catalog or OneSearch to find the books you need.
