ARLIS/NA 46th Annual Conference

This session of lightning talks highlights the diverse ways librarians engage with zine collections at their institutions. Speakers will include librarians from universities and art and design colleges who steward zine collections of varying sizes and levels of development. The session extends the boundaries for how one can consider working with a zine collection, by sharing projects that touch on different areas of librarianship. The six speakers will cover topics including collection development, digital access, exhibition, pedagogy, student engagement, and community outreach. At the conclusion of this session, audience members can participate in a zine swap and continue the conversation with colleagues.
