Zine

From LISWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

An amateur magazine, usually published by an individual or an alternative press. Zines are usually created by people with a passion for their subject (they can be about literally anything), and are written, edited, produced, and distributed independently.

There are many public, academic, and special libraries which have zine collections, and zinesters have founded countless independent zine libraries as well.
