Hi Julie, That's so exciting, I'm actually working on the same type of project! I work at OU-Tulsa and I'm sort of building off of our existing Graphic Scholarship Collection to include zines. We have a super small zine collection so far relating to the disciplines we serve on campus (like less than 50 zines right now) and I'm designing a workshop that will take place at least once a year for students/staff/faculty to create their own works. We have an order of supplies in the mail right now to build our first Zine Makers Kit. I'd also love any advice that's offered!

I am planning to teach with the collection and will provide students with the opportunity to contribute their zines to the collection. I am busy reading all of the articles/chapters/zines/etc. that I can find that talk about building a new zine library and/or teaching with zines. I wanted to introduce myself here in case anyone has suggestions or advice to offer. As a side note, one of my first publications was in a zine (Ladyfriend, by Christa Donner) back in 2000/2001ish. This past year, I finally created my own zine, a collection of "Earthseed" verses from Octavia Butler's Parable books. (I have a digital copy I'd be happy to share with anyone who wants one.) I'm excited to have found you all. I look forward to attending ZLuC later this year.
