Zines

GIS & Social Sciences Librarian

Zines (short for fanzines) are handmade, self-published publications that are created using photocopiers. They are often distributed in small runs and are more about self-expression than profit. There are a variety of types of zines, including: art zines, food zines, music zines, perzines (personal zines), travel zines, etc.
