What is a citation manager and why should I care?:
When performing research at the graduate level, it is important to be diligent about keeping track of your sources. This can be done with pen and paper in a dedicated notebook or on index cards. Or, you might just keep an Excel spreadsheet of all of the materials you are consulting for a project. Citation managers like Zotero , RefWorks, and Mendeley help automate the process by working with your web browser to grab the information about a source (author, title, publication, etc.) with the click of a button. They can even be integrated into word processing software to automatically generate properly formatted citations and bibliographies.

Funding:
Barnard Library Research Awards - Barnard has two grants available to researchers using the Archives, Zine Library, or Barnard Center for Research on Women (BCRW) collection. Mary Lily Research Grants - Annual grants to support research at The Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture at Duke University. Their collections include an extensive zine library : "over 3500 zines relating to the experience of women, girls, and women-identified people, with a majority dating from 1985-2005."


Scholarship:
Over the past several decades, zines have increasingly been the subject of scholarly inquiry. Below are a few suggested resources.


Given the ephemeral nature of zines - small print-runs, low-budget production - they have not usually been included in traditional libraries and archives. Significant and innovative work has been done to establish a set of cataloging standards and other bibliographic infrastructure that helps to maintain the original spirit of the zine. Code of Ethics - Guidelines towards the protection of creator rights, and promotes the role of librarians as "caretakers of these materials." Your Zine Tool Kit - An article by Jenna Freedman in Library Journal lays out the basics of zine librarianship. Informative and includes links to various resources. Zine Librarian Un-Conference - Annual conference about zine librarianship.

Zine Librarian Un-Conference - Annual conference about zine librarianship.Zine Union Catalog (ZUC) - The catalog "lets researchers discover zine holdings by searching a single catalog, and helps librarians copy catalog records to facilitate lending across libraries." This ongoing project is being spearheaded by students in the MALS Program at the Graduate Center. Zine Thesaurus - For an example of how zine topics translate into more traditional Library of Congress (LOC) Subject Headings, this document lists categories and their LOC equivalents.


Because zines are not typically carried by bookstores, a DIY (do-it-yourself) distribution system has also been part of their history. Since the advent of the internet, zines have been sold individually by their creators online - however, distros are still a popular way to obtain zines. Below is a selection, and be sure to also check out this list of distros across the world . Brown Recluse Distro - The distro was "created to support and center zines written by people of color.

Stranger Danger Distro - "Stranger Danger is a zine distro based out of Chicago that carries feminist zines, queer zines, trans zines, POC zines, & more — zines about identity, home, disabilities, friendship, survival, etc., etc." Sweet Candy Distro - A 13-year old project that " has had physical homes in Georgia, Pennsylvania and now happily resides in Olympia, Washington." The distro offers over 200 zine titles, and is now involved in book publishing. Doris - The distro is run by Cindy Crabb, author of the long-running and popular Doris zine series. Pioneers Press - Founded in 2012, the small press and distro is based in rural Kansas.

Articles:
"When Zine-making in the Classroom Goes Very Wrong" - An article by Daniela Capistrano, founder of the POC Zine Project , about the complexities and challenges of introducing zines into a traditional classroom (Note: Capistrano's section begins in the middle of the page.) Using Zines in the Classroom - In a blog post for the HASTAC Pedagogy Project, Jason Luther describes his experience integrating zines into two college-level courses. Zines in the Classroom: Critical Librarianship and Participatory Collections - This chapter of the Critical Library Pedagogy Handbook, by Alycia Sellie and Robin Potter, describes the authors' experience integrating zines into library instruction at Brooklyn College. Compositional Craft: Zine Workshops as Pop-Up Makerspaces - Melissa Rogers writes about zine workshops as a low-budget alternative to the makerspace, and zines as a mode of "queer feminist cultural production."


Zine Pedagogy:
Zines may not have a role in traditional pedagogy, but they are increasingly being integrated into the classroom. Below are some resources and reflections by educators. Zines are the Embodiment of Open? - Short piece on Medium.com, asserting that zines intersect meaningfully with openly-licensed educational resources (OER).


Zines as Creative Resistance:


Zines as Creative Resistance:Zines as Creative Resistance:The Graduate Center Library is not currently home to a zine collection - however, it has been a site of zine-related activity. Most notably, the yearlong exhibit "Zines as Creative Resistance" (Fall 2017-June 2018) showcased a selection of over fifty zines from across the United States and Canada. Featured works included Gaylord Phoenix by Edie Fake, Adventures in Menstruating by Chella Quint, Letters from the War Years by Bianca Ortíz, and many other titles. As part of the exhibition programming, a panel discussion was held in the Segal Theater, featuring Erica Cardwell (zine educator), Devin Morris (3 Dot Zine), and Jenna Freedman (Barnard College). Workshops were held in the Graduate Center Library to explore the relationship between zines and scholarly research. Additional zine activity is underway at the Graduate Center: as part of her fellowship with the Teaching and Learning Center, Sakina Laksimi-Morrow curated the zine Developing a Socially Conscious Pedagogy .

Black Women and Resilience: Power, Perseverance, and Public Health: Black Women and Resilience brings together a wealth of qualitative and quantitative research to help foster broad understanding and advancement of Black women's collective health and wellbeing. Throughout, Kisha Braithwaite Holden, Camara Phyllis Jones, and their contributors use a health equity lens, maintaining that achieving health equity requires valuing all individuals and populations equally, recognizing and rectifying historical injustices, and providing resources according to need. Across four sections, scholars, practitioners, and community leaders address cultural narratives of Black womanhood; significant health issues affecting Black women; trauma, stressors, and strategies for healing; and advocacy for social justice and collective action.

Despite Instagram's reputation for shallowness, the ongoing self-presentation it demands confronts users with profound dilemmas. Who are we? What do we want to show of ourselves? What do we aspire to be?    On Display is a book about how people remake their worlds through social media. John D. Boy and Justus Uitermark provide an encompassing account of how a platform that is unfailingly polished and ruthlessly judgmental shapes us and our environments. They examine how personalities, relations, social movements, urban subcultures, and city streets change as they are represented on Instagram. Interviews and ethnographic vignettes render an intimate account of the desires and anxieties that animate the platform. Just as importantly, Boy and Uitermark reveal how Instagram is implicated in social inequalities.

Just as importantly, Boy and Uitermark reveal how Instagram is implicated in social inequalities.While previous accounts have argued that social media promote polarization, On Display shows that this is not the case for Instagram where users belong to large and diverse networks, compelling them to take many, often contradictory expectations into account. This means users shy away from producing statements or images that may cause offense as a way to preserve their public image and their social connections. Drawing on sociological theory, long-term qualitative inquiry in Amsterdam, and computational analyses, Boy and Uitermark argue that grasping the power of Instagram--and other social media platforms--requires seeing them not as digital networks of communication and sharing, but as a stage for the expression and affirmation of social status.

It is even worse than Mike Davis, for whom "every day is judgment day" (The Nation), could have imagined. The contributions to this volume are explorations of what Davis--in typical wry fashion--once referred to as the field of "disaster studies." Collectively, they show how our "disaster imaginary" has been rendered inadequate by the existing order's ability to feed off and coopt our resistance to it.  Contemporary mass protests are now subsumed as instances of an established, profitable politics of rage. Geopolitical conflict poses not as a threat to hegemonic power but rather serves the interests of a global market which capitalizes on lucrative, permanent war.
