The cataloguing project is finished!
The Library is happy to announce that we have completed cataloguing the zines!
You can now find zines in the One Search catalogue by limiting to zines as a location to find all of them. For a more specific search add your topic word and zines and you can find out if we have any on that topic. eg. Prison and zines, Gender and zines, Indigenous and zines.
Check our Zine categories bookmark located by the zines.
The Douglas College Library Zine Collective (DCLZC) is composed of faculty, librarians, staff, and students who are working together to build the library's zine collection and to support and promote the use of zines in classrooms.
If you have any questions, please email us at lr-zines@douglascollege.ca
Assembled stories and poems of queer experience, in turns tender and intimate, hopeful and heartbreaking. This feels like reading other people's diaries, other people's love letters. You can also read this and the first volume online at their website and learn more about J.'s project.

I'm guilty too of getting used to buying cheap, without really understanding what goes on behind the scenes of book publishing (among other industries). This 22-page zine explains why we need to support our local bookstores and in doing so, pay fair compensation to authors, publishers and booksellers. This is what it means to be part of a community. We also have Danny Caine's expanded version in our collection as an ebook if you want to dig deeper.
