Zine Intellectual Property Considerations:
- “Reproducing/reprinting all or any part of this zine without prior consent will be considered utterly disrespectful and generally uncool.” – Aqsa Zine #4 Ancestors + Descendents. Sept. 2011. Print.
- Researchers may scan, photograph, or otherwise reproduce zine text and images for their own use. Researchers may not publish zine images or substantial amounts of text in print, on the web, or in any public format, without making every effort to secure permission from the zine creator. If the zine creator is deceased or difficult for the researcher and zine librarian to locate, discuss other options with the zine librarian.
- All zines are protected by copyright unless they contain an anti-copyright statement.
- Read and contribute other special zine copyright/fair use statements on the Zine Libraries website.
Important Notes:
Special collections zines must be requested ahead of time. There are approximately twice as many zines in special collections and hundreds more that haven’t been processed yet and are not yet listed in CLIO or are listed, but not yet in the stacks. If there is something in particular that you are looking for and can’t find it, please email the zine librarian at zines@barnard.edu.
When you visit Barnard’s Zine Library (The Milstein Center 2nd Floor, 3009 Broadway, New York, NY 10027), you will attend a short orientation before viewing your requested items in the special collections.
Jenna Freedman was an absolutely invaluable resource for me as I began to conceptualize this resource guide. I highly recommend reaching out to this brilliant person with any and all questions.
