The Zine Librarians unConference will be held virtually via Zoom on Saturday November 7–Sunday November 8.
The Zine Librarians unConference, a.k.a. ZLuC, is an inspirational, informative, and fun gathering of people who care deeply about zines, their preservation, and their ability to change lives for the better. The unConference uses a broad definition of the term “librarian”- MLIS students, library support staff, zinesters with personal collections, and anyone else in the zine community is welcome and encouraged to attend.
The unConference is held about once a year, and the location and format varies each year. The 2020 ZLuC and 2025 ZLuC were also held virtually.
Registration
The registration form for ZLuC 2026 can be found HERE.
If you would like to request an accommodation, you may do so through the registration form. Please fill out the registration form with your request by October 14.
The final registration deadline is November 3.
Registration Cost
As in previous years, ZLuC will collect a voluntary registration fee. Given that a virtual unConference involves fewer costs than an in-person event, suggested fee levels have been reduced from in-person years. However, the unConference still has certain financial requirements (namely: payment for accessibility services such as interpretation or translation; payment for administrative and financial services; and gathering funds for future years’ BIPOC travel grant), which will be supported by the voluntary registration fee.
Registration fees vary :
- People with no professional development funds: free!
- People with $1,000 or less in professional development funds: $50
- People with more than $1,000 in professional development funds: $100
