Zines!

If you have been sitting on the comfy couch or chair near the windows, you've probably noticed our zine collection. However, perhaps you haven't had a closer look to see what was all there. The SLIS Library has now posted the contents of the Library Workers Zine Collection online. See for yourself what zines are all about and how they relate to libraries and librarians. Also check out the Featured Zine Section where we review a title from our collection. The first featured zine, The Journal of Books & Wenches, covers the exciting, dangerous, and fast paced world of UW-Madison SLIS. Check out the zines page and have fun!
