Hello! You are invited to participate in a research study about zine creators and zine librarians. The study is being performed by Al Cassada (PI) at the University of Alabama under the supervision of Dr. Miriam E. Sweeney, faculty supervisor [IRB #24-09-7952]. The purpose of the study is to understand: * How zine creators and zine librarians interact with each other; and * What zine creators and zine librarians imagine as their ideal relationship with each other. The information gathered by this study will help zine librarians understand the best ways to interact with zine creators in order to build and maintain good relationships with them. This will help zine librarians keep their collections connected to the larger network of zine creators and zine culture instead of keeping them isolated in the library. If you choose to participate in this study, you will be directed to a survey that will take about 15 minutes of your time. Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and confidential. The survey will be open until November 1.
