Are you aware that the college library has a steadily growing collection of over 500 zines and DIY publications on a great range of topics that both staff and students can access to support projects in the classroom, for independent research, and for wider reading and pleasure?

Staff and students can also explore making zines through organised zine workshops, as well as ‘just for fun’ drop-in sessions for anyone to attend across the year. 

Whilst the full collection is based in the library at Granton campus selections of zines can be available upon request for use in the classroom with groups or for independent reference.

If you are excited to discuss what zines are, how you might use zines, and how this enhances the learning experience, please get in touch with the collection holder, Jen Ouson, on Teams or by email: jennifer.ouson@edinburghcollege.ac.uk 

In the meantime you can hear more about the collection from staff and students in the video below, and find out more about the collection by visiting the AB-Collection on the library website.

We look forward to sharing zines with you in this new academic year!
