A poster created by Emma Metcalfe Hurst and Marsha Taichman describing “DIY: Zine-Making in LAMS, for LAMS” was presented at the ARLIS/NA 52nd Annual Conference (Art Libraries Society of North America) in April. The poster, shaped like a minizine (!!), describes benefits and challenges of zine-making in libraries, archives, and museums.

Please take the survey and share with colleagues to help with that research!
