Zines

In the DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room, one can find a collection of unusual periodicals known as Zines. In the past twenty years these home grown periodicals have become one of the hottest things in magazine culture. They can be found widely in magazine shops, bookstores, on college campuses and now, on many library shelves.
