It would be great if they could be a part of the who is/was series. That is already a popular series with students and wouldn't have to be just for Judaica bio projects.

(Yes, I, too, remember when teachers assigned biographies, and I think if we had GOOD ones we would at least be able to enthusiastically recommend them.) I also wondered about some kind of incentive from AJL… perhaps setting up an AJL Grant for New Biography to support a writer(s)? Or maybe your idea of working with a publisher is more practical. Other thoughts?

As for them not being checked out, once upon a time teachers used to assign the reading of biographies as an assignment. I do think the lack of information is something we as an organization should think about trying to remedy. Could we approach a Jewish publisher with the idea of creating such a series and assure them that as librarians we would purchase them? Alternately, would an organization like Avi Chai or a Board of Jewish Education consider funding authors to produce such products?
