worthy zine blogs

Filed Under resources, zine news | 2 Comments

Xerography Debt, the review zine with perzine tendencies, has started a zine review & commentary blog. XD has long made its reviews available for download via its website; now XD’s contributors will be posting reviews and other zine-related posts to its blog between issues.

Baltimore County Public Library introduced a blog for its zine collection this spring, in which they give updates on new zines in their collection, events, and other topics.

Another zine library with a worth-reading blog is Barnard College’s blog at Livejournal. Librarian Jenna Freedman is a huge champion of zines, and the blog includes highlights from Barnard’s collection, plus interesting ephemera. (Of course there’s also lots of zine communities at Livejournal, such as Zine Scene and Stolen Sharpie. And, speaking of Livejournal — did you know that Zine World’s blog is syndicated there?)

The Syndicated Zine Reviews blog is updated pretty much daily with a variety of reviews and zine news.

What other blogs did we miss? Where do you go online to keep informed about zines (other than the places we’ve got listed on our Resources page)? Let us know via email, or post a comment!
