This week we added zines about a year in the life of an artist, screen time, summer in Columbus Ohio, menopause, neighborhood girls, going out vs. staying in, public pancakes, mothering and daughtering, teaching college in Spokane, meanderings, making stuff, zine librarians and pedagogy, along with short stories from Sydney, Australia.
This week we added zines about queer sexuality, community care with regard to work burnout, what men seem to be like, witches and witchcraft, insomnia, dissociation, sewing and fashion, how to abort a fetus, self-care for introverts, the show Once Upon a Time, depressive behaviors in high school (e.g., cutting and bulimia) and poutine.
The Barnard Library will award $2,500 to two researchers to support their use of its Archives, Media Center, Zine Library, and other collections/resources.
This week we added zines to our collection about working class queer love for Bruce Springsteen, pay equity, the off-line life of a White Plains couple, audio cassettes, sewing, poutine, dissociation, community reading of the book Educated, sex positivity, fashion, and feminist theory, and a Japanese/English bilingual zine about UK street cats.
It's been a while since we added new zines to our catalog because we were busy with an inventory project. We're excited to be back at it!
The Barnard Zine Club's new zine is out, as is a zine made for one of Professor El-Haj's classes.
“Weigh of Showing” is a zine originally written for an Interactive Technology and Pedagogy class taught by Steve Brier and Michael Mandiberg at the CUNY Graduate Center.
Congratulations to the new Barnard Zine Club leaders for getting their first issue out!
BC alums retain access to the physical library, staff, and a suite of licensed databases. (updated)
