<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â What would a zine club encompass? What do you do with a club? Advice for getting started?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Madeleine has been working with a zine club at New Paltz. Can go hand in hand with starting a collection for the library. Input from creators and users.</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Has a zine collective</p>
<p>-      Not seeking funding – separate from university</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Write little grants, find other funding streams</p>
<p>-      Zine Collective has wish list spreadsheet with titles, how accessible – digitally?...</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Between 3 and 9 members</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Arc of energy over semester difficult</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â 2 members now paid to do cataloging, etc.</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Working out separateness/collaboration from library</p>
<p>-      Session member – extend out to community? To sustain over course of semester? M liked this idea.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â has internal collective</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â staff library twice a month and come to 2 at least 2 meetings</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Kelly</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â likes idea of Zine Club but feels weird telling students to organize themselves</p>
<p>-      makes the offer but not always taken up (Madeleine did a workshop and lecture with Jenna F and Jacinda (?) and this generated excitement among students – she thinks that the two students who are cataloging are invested and engaged and may recruit others</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Create a LibGuide?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ways to connect people to the collection besides club?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Zine swaps – bring your one-pager, do swaps separately or as part of readings</p>

<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Pop up zine library in community art space</p>

<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Pop up library at Kathleen Hanna docu</p>
<p>-               People can make a zine about anything anywhere – expands demographics</p>
<p>-               Papercut tabled at farmer’s market – people wrote favorite recipes made with csa contents</p>
<p>-      How do people access zines now? - Tumblr promotion, some comic book shops and record stores, online distros, etsy, zine fests</p>
<p>-      Kelly M tells students where they can sell their zines – don’t just turn them in to their professor, share otherwise</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Kelly W when invited by faculty to do outreach, sometimes no attendance, timing issue? No student buy in, how is it pitched?</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Plug in terms of having a voice, authoring your experience</p>
<p>-      This is something you’re already doing, let’s add zines to the toolbox</p>
<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Getting people in the door is the tricky part, not getting people to engage in a workshop</p>

<p>-Â Â Â Â Â Â Call it a pamphlet</p>
