Zines are gaining popularity in academic settings, and they are increasingly recognized as valuable primary sources. As we continue to develop our zine collections, we are also facilitating the pedagogical use of zines in courses across Douglas College. In this workshop, we will demonstrate a library instruction class that examines zines as research sources. Participants will get the chance to see student-created zine assignments that have resulted from these classes, then will make their own mini-zines to take home!
