New zine from UK and Ireland Zine Librarians! This zine is not so much a guide on how to catalogue but a collection of personal hopes, fears, and dreams for zine cataloguing. #izm2019

@ProfLRobinson It’s hard to capture what it feels like to receive a zine (impossible to replicate in an institutional collection?) but defo important.

[UK and Ireland Zine Librarians @UIZineLibs]

Love this! How do you keep the bits (notes, postcards, fliers, stickers, badges and STUFF) that come with the zines in your libraries?

[nicola c. 🌙 @nic_o_la]

Trying something new with the “stuff” that comes in the post with zines. Might be overkill, but we want to include as much of this side of giving and receiving zines in the collection by including all the bits and bobs that come with them. Any thoughts? 💌

[nicola c. 🌙 @nic_o_la]

🧵[THREAD]🪡 Here’s some recently catalogued zines added to @WellcomeLibrary, that you’ll be able to request and read once @ExploreWellcome has re-opened! Creators tagged where possible so you can support and purchase their work too ✂️💌

It’s International Zine Library Day🎊At the end of 2016 I began collecting zines for @WellcomeLibrary (thx @MelGrant5!) but quickly knew I’s need a partner in crime to help build, grow&champion the collection to where it’s at today; proud of us @LoesjaVigour! #IZLD2020 #IZM2020
