Hi Loesja and everyone,
Just a quick hello from me. I took over from Leila here at London College of Communication library, looking after special collections, including the zine collection. The collection was started in 2009 (by Leila!) and now contains over 3000 zines dating from the 1970s onwards. These cover many subjects including art, photography, music, politics, race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and are in a variety of styles and formats.
The collection is accessible to UAL staff and students, as well as the public. We have a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LCCLibraryZineCollection.ac.uk ) where you can keep up to date on events and zine updates.
I was at the first UK zine librarians meeting at the BL and would definitely by up for meeting again, it was great to meet other zine folks and there were lots of ideas!

Hello Loesja and everyone,
I would be up for another zine libs meeting; the first meeting was brimming with ideas and it would be great to meet again and see where we all stand now, especially as more collections have been formed since then. I no longer work with a library zine collection but, of course, still love and read zines (always will) and am interested in how they exist in libraries. Hope it is OK if I still attend such meetings.
