Barnard Library Zine Collection is jazzed that in the last 12 months the Barnard Library circulated 105 zines and had 9 ILL requests submitted. We also hosted two museums, two library school groups, two high school classes, and a fistful of other scholars and zine fans.

Barnard Library Zine Collection Continuation from previous post:

I know less about how to deal with housing the zine so that it won't get lost among the books on the shelves. Does your library buy play scripts (e.g. from Samuel French)? If so, they could deal with the zines the same way they do the scripts. Though of course that could mean taking the... zine apart. But if you want the zine for the stacks, I don't think that's a crime.

Or were you thinking of them for a special collection? If so, I'm not so clueful. Anyone else?

Barnard Library Zine Collection Hi Emily,

I don't think it should be a problem to buy the occasional zine for your library. The two issues I see are acquisitions and shelving. What other challenges are you facing?

As for acquisitions, the easiest way to buy zines online is via PayPal, but not all accounting departments are into that. Fortunately, a f...ew zine distros and stores do take credit cards. (<a href="http://www.atomicbooks.com/">Atomic</a>, <a href="http://www.microcosmpublishing.com/">Microcosm</a>, <a href="http://www.quimbys.com/">Quimbys</a>, <a href="http://www.readingfrenzy.com/">Reading Frenzy</a>) I also send cash through the mail and occasionally personal checks, since it's easier for me to get reimbursed than it is to get the college to pay an individual. I also shop at Bluestockings and get reimbursed.

Continued on next post...
