Our zines are currently being catalogued for better access and discovery. You will notice zines disappear during this process but they will return to the shelf as soon as they are completed and ready to be signed out. You can borrow up to 5 zines at a time and they are available for a two-week loan period.
To find zines in the Library catalogue, search the word zines and [topic] eg. zines and Indigenous will give you a list of zines about Indigenous issues. You can also limit the search results by location to zines.
The library has zine collections at both campus libraries. At Coquitlam campus they are on the main floor David Lam campus library outside the classroom and at New Westminster campus library they are on the upper level at the top of the stairs.
All zines in the collection now have subject headings or categories. Browse by category in One Search by typing zines and the full name of the category you are interested (eg. Zines and Addiction) and then use the LOCATION LIMITER on the lower left-hand side and click on Zines. If browsing in person, these are our shortened general category codes and they are in alphabetical order on the shelves.
