About the Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection:
The Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection specializes in zines that relate to Brooklyn, zines by Brooklyn College students and alumni, zines about zines, and other zines that relate to the student body and curriculum of Brooklyn College. The Zine Collection was founded in 2011 by Alycia Sellie, Media and Cultural Studies Librarian at Brooklyn College Library, with assistance from two cohorts of summer zine interns: Devon Nevola and Robin Potter (2011), and Sarah Rappo and Erica Saunders (2012). Whenever possible, two copies of each zine are collected: one will be in the open browsing collection, accessible whenever the library is open; the other will be placed in Special Collections at the library, accessible by appointment.
For more information on the Brooklyn College Library Zine Collection, please contact Alycia Sellie at zinecollection@brooklyn.cuny.edu, (718) 758-8217, or visit http://brooklyncollegezines.commons.gc.cuny.edu/
