Did anyone mention or do you already know about two AJL publications that might be what you're looking for? 1) Developing a Judaic Children's Collection: Recommended Books and Videos, by Linda Silver, november 2001. ISBN 0-929262-56-5 2) Creating a Collection: A Resourece Booklist for a Begining Judaic Library, 4th revised edition, compiled by Merrily F Hart (I love her name). ISBN 0-929262-56-5 Interesting how both of these have the same ISBN numbers; I've always wondered about that. I haven't lost much sleep over it granted, but it comes to mind from time to time We got these two publications in the An Introduction to Judaica Librarianship Session III: Collection Development at the AJL Denver Colorado Convention 2002. I have used these two publications to orient and re-orient my brain. They're great for me. They might be great for you.
