What other colleges have zine collections, and how does Barnards collection compare?
Check out our lists of academic, public, school, and other types of library zine collections. There aren’t very many zine libraries to begin with, and few of them fully catalog their zines in the worldwide union catalog known as WorldCat. The zines existence in WorldCat makes it easy for people around the world to know that we have zines in our collection and facilitates their ordering them via Interlibrary Loan. Another advantage to having the zines included in CLIO, our online catalog, is that researchers who may never have heard of zines can discover them accidentally. To our knowledge there are three other libraries that have collections specializing in women’s zines: Duke University, Smith College, and Tulane University. We believe those collections are all closed stacks, meaning you have to ask for the zines you want and use them under supervision.

Along with Colorado College and Pratt Institute, Barnard is one of the few academic collections that has zines available in the open
