A zine (ZEEN), short for fanzine, is a self-published work that has a limited print run (which can range from just a few copies to around 5,000 copies). Zines are usually created with the intention not to profit monetarily but to share one’s thoughts, feelings, creativity, experience, and/or knowledge with others. Zines are part of a DIY (do it yourself) culture which often includes people from marginalized communities or those who don’t have access to more mainstream publishing options (adapted from zinelibraries.info Intro to Zines).
Clark College Libraries' zines are for in-library use only. Please enjoy them in the library, but don't take them home. If you'd like to make a copy or see if you can print your own, Ask a Librarian at the desk in the library, by phone, email, or chat.
The Zine Library is located in Cannell Library, in the Photocopy alcove, which is to the left and back when you come in the doors (near the first-floor restrooms).
