\"archives-zines\"<\/a>Have you zine<\/em> our new collection? Well, over in the Archives & Special Collections we haven\u2019t zine<\/em> better days! We have recently received a brand new collection of ZINES<\/em> (in case you haven\u2019t guessed) due to a generous donation by the Zine Pavilion at the American Library Association Annual Conference last June! As of now, our zine-<\/em>pool contains around 175 zines covering a wide variety of topics such as politics, national issues, social and environmental justice, queer identities, trans experiences, feminism, race, and mental health, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

For those of you who don\u2019t know, \u201czine\u201d is short for \u201cmagazine\u201d or \u201cfanzine.\u201d Zines are most commonly inexpensive, small-circulation self-published works (usually the product of a single person or a small group) intended to spread information, appreciation, art, activism, social justice, etc. for means of awareness rather than profit. They are often small, created with a photocopier, and stitched together creatively to construct a unique work of art, ready to be shared! Barnard Zine Library defines zines as \u201cself-publications, motivated by a desire for self-expression, not for profit.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in analy-zine<\/em> our growing collection, we have an upcoming Behind the Archives Door event, \u201cZines and More!\u201d taking place on Thursday October 5th<\/sup>, from 4:00-5:00pm in the Archives & Special Collections Seminar room on the second floor of Collins Library. Hosted by Katy Curtis, our Humanities Librarian and Zine expert extraordinaire, this event will be showcasing our ama-zine <\/em>collection and the ways in which zines can be used for teaching and learning!<\/p>\n

Try squee-zine <\/em>it into your busy schedules, and don\u2019t hesitate mobili-zine <\/em>on over to our open hours to check out any of our other surpri-zine<\/em> materials! They\u2019re worth utili-zine<\/em>!<\/p>\n

The Archives & Special Collections<\/a> is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 12:00-3:00 p.m. or by appointment.<\/p>\n
