Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone knows of examples in which the “Display Book Contributors” feature has been used in a Pressbooks book to show a list of authors with picture/bio. When I work with classes in which students are authoring chapters of a book, I like to show this feature as an option for listing the student authors. Often classes just choose to list the student author names on a Credits or About the Authors page they create themselves b/c it is quick and doesn’t require more work from students. But it would be great to show some real examples of a [Book Contributors page using this feature](https://guide.pressbooks.com/chapter/create-and-display-contributors/#contributorlist) so that they consider that as well. Thanks in advance for any leads! -Lauren ---

Hi Lauren! You are right that creating an “About the Authors” page manually seems to be the most common way of adding a list of contributors. While adding a [list of contributors](https://guide.pressbooks.com/chapter/create-and-display-contributors/#chapter-232-section-4) to the back matter of the book is a relatively new feature, it is a comprehensive way of crediting each person for their contribution, whether they are an editor or an author or contributor. I found a [book](https://milnepublishing.geneseo.edu/genderedlives/back-matter/contributors/) in our directory that utilizes **“Contributors”** as the **Back Matter Type**. I anticipate that this method will become more frequently used in Pressbooks in the future, but for now, it is not widely known about. ---

Thanks so much Jocelyn! This is really helpful. Appreciate having the example you found, which is perfect for my needs. Thanks again!
