A zine, short for magazine or “fanzine,” is a non-commercial, handmade, self-published resource often devoted to unique or specialized subject matter.[i] Zines can be made with just pen and paper, but they also often include re-purposed texts and images. Like many other libraries, the Rutgers University Libraries-New Brunswick collects zines and uses them for teaching, marketing, workshops, and more.
