Two possibilities come to my mind.
1. Art & Design Schools that offer programs in Illustration may have an interest
in childrens' book illustration and selection methods.
2. Programs in Art Ed. often like samples of books on art topics written for
children.
At the Maryland Institute, College of Art I buy both types of materials in
support of classes here.  I am currently building our collection of the
Caldecott winning books.
