The Douglas College library has zine collections at both campus libraries. At Coquitlam campus they are on the main floor of the library outside the library classroom and at New Westminster campus library they are on the upper level at the top of the stairs.
Help the library build our collection. Fill out our donation form and either drop off your print copies at the check-out desk or email us your digital copies at lr-zines@douglascollege.ca. Prefer to mail your donation form and zine to us? Our mailing address is: Douglas College Library, c/o Zine Collection, P.O. Box 2503, New Westminster, B.C., Canada V3L 5B2.
We collect zines about Canadian topics and issues, politics, environment, health, COVID 19/pandemic quaranzines, labour/work issues, crime, Indigenous and First Nations, BIPOC, gender / women's / LGBTQ2S issues.
We are particularly focused on local zines and local and community issues, and zines created by Douglas College students.
All zines in the collection have now been catalogued and have subject headings and categories.
To find zines in the One Search / Library catalogue, search the word zines and [your topic] (eg. zines and Indigenous; zines and addiction) you will get a list of zines about these topics. You can find all zines by limiting to location -- use the LOCATION LIMITER on the lower left-hand side in one search and click on Zines. This will give you a list of the full zine collection.
If browsing in person, there are free bookmarks with our our shortened general category codes and the zines are in alphabetical order by codes on the bookshelves. You can borrow up to 5 zines at a time and they are available for a two-week loan period.
