Recently a patron asked for a list of books by a particular author. Some authors have nice printable lists on their websites, but other authors include pictures of books and other extras that make printing a list out difficult. However, one of the databases, Biography Resource, features the writings of authors in their biography articles. Some (for example, the article about Nora Roberts) includes lists by series.
Here’s what the list looks like for James Patterson:
