It’s been a busy few weeks with the ALA (American Library Association) Conference and Zine Pavilion last month. At the conference, Lauren gave a presentation on the Zine Union Catalog and garnered a lot of interest in the project as well as questions around metadata. For this occasion, we also produced new issue of Shared Authority. Volume 2.5 (along with all our previous issues) can be found on our public Google Drive.
This summer, we are also prioritizing accessibility. ZineCat is currently doing a web audit with HaiDev (with many thanks to Eric, who is project managing this) with the goal of making improvements to our site. We have also been producing other formats for our zines (audible and plain text), which can also be accessed on the public Google Drive. All three issues of Shared Authority are available as scanned pdfs, as well as in audible and plain text files.
If you have any other suggestions on improvements we can implement to make ZineCat more accessible to all, please let us know. Feel free to send us an email at zinecatproject AT gmail.com. We always appreciate your feedback.
