Marquis Who’s Who® Adds Who’s Who in American Politics to its Online Database

Providence, N.J. – June 2007 – For the first time ever, Who’s Who in American Politics is available to subscribers as a fully searchable online database. From Marquis Who’s Who, America’s biographer for over 100 years, Who’s Who in American Politics provides critical biographical information on approximately 36,000 key players in the political arena.

The launch of Who’s Who in American Politics online marks the completion of an effort by Marquis to digitize all of its active Who’s Who print titles. The complete Marquis Who’s Who database now offers profiles of nearly 1.4 million of the most notable executives, scientists, educators, athletes, entertainers, political figures, and other industry leaders.

“There has never been a more critical or volatile period in American politics, and Who’s Who in American Politics has never been a more valuable research tool,” said Marquis Who’s Who CEO James J. Pfister. “With the 2008 Presidential Election already being hotly contested and control of the Senate teetering on a few select states, the Who’s Who in American Politics database serves as an invaluable tool for politicians, pollsters, journalists, students, and anyone interested in the American political scene.”

The database runs the gamut from George W. Bush to Tim Russert to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It includes every cabinet member, governor, state legislature, member of congress, Supreme Court justice, as well as ambassadors, advisors, party officials, and political journalists. Profiles are searchable by name, political office, gender, political party, religion, birth place and date, and contact address.

“With the addition of Who’s Who in American Politics this year and the recent additions of Who’s Who in American Art and Who’s Who in American History, Marquis Who’s Who® on the Web continues to extend its position as the premier provider of biographical information,” adds James Pfister. “At a time when timely information on prominent individuals is at a premium, we are able to deliver well over a million profiles virtually instantaneously across the internet.”

The Who’s Who in American Politics database will make its public debut on June 23rd at this year’s American Library Association’s Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.

Marquis Who’s Who offers free trials of the database. For information contact Michael Noerr at 1-800-473-7020
