Dear You,
Thank you for agreeing to serve on the zine union catalog advisory board!
We are grateful to have you with us and look forward to your contributions
to the project. We thought a nice first step would be getting to know each
other. Will you let us know if you're willing for us to CC you on messages,
vs. blind copying you as we did on this one? We would like to list and
thank advisory board members on our website, so we'll ask for your
permission for that, too. Here's an easy form
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeAy77fi_ZhaFCk9kxyAv8iw6gjqwJidhCbqHhzRO4b6JMVbg/viewform
for letting us know your preference.
We do have a few updates to share. Feel free to give us feedback on any of
the resources we report on.
Our catalog is installed on our adorably named website zinecat.org. We're
working with a small subset of holdings from the Queer Zine Archive Project
http://qzap.org, and trying to make them visible from the home page, with
their metadata and without the blank thumbnail image. We've been getting
help on our catalog installation with Advisory Board members Eric Goldhagen
and Milo Miller. Thanks, Eric & Milo!
The zine catalog working group that pre-dates this project previously
surveyed zine makers and zine librarians about how they'd use a zine union
catalog. We now have a survey specifically for zine scholars

Pass it on?
Until next week, with gratitude and respect,
Jenna and the rest of the ZineCat team
