Zines

Funded by the Charlotte Henry Study Grant 2023, this zine contains key insights and information as part of Jade Smith's research into graphic novel collections in NSW libraries. The aims of the reflective research, undertaken during her Master of Information Studies (Applied Research) project, were to investigate the value of graphic novel collections in libraries and how these can be leveraged and understood in the context of a collection that can sometimes be challenged, maligned or misappropriated.
 

ALIA New Librarians' Symposium 9 (NLS9), 5-7 July 2019 Adelaide: collaborate deviate innovate
 
This presentation (PowerPoint slides) supported the talk on zine librarianship including making and collecting zines. These self-made, underground publications have a thriving history and an exciting future. Australia has a rampant zine scene, and libraries and archives have been collecting them for a while now. Zine librarianship in the professional sense is growing in the UK and the US, and Australia can follow in their footsteps.
