Hi all,

The Zine Thesaurus Management Collective for the Anchor Archive Zine Library is thinking of developing a second thesaurus for genre/form terms, and we wanted to get a sense of how other people are defining and scoping genres for their zine cataloging work.
What do you currently use for genre/form terms (if anything)? Are there any vocabularies or other resources that you reference for this area of description? What might be some examples of genre/form terms that you use frequently or find particularly helpful?

Many thanks,
Indica
