Library News

Barnard Zine Library and Barnard Archives staff were invited to give an introduction to our collections, programs, and philosophies by the Archivists Round Table (ART) of New York.

We have two new student zine librarians as of fall 2024: Zoë Benavidez BC '27 and Olivia Callanan BC '28. They join existing staff Claudia Acosta, Nayla Delgado BC '24, Zoe Foshee BC '27, Jenna Freedman, and Alex Owens BC '26 along with freelancer catalogers Jade Levine BC '19/Julia Lubey BC '18, and Rhonda Yen Kauffman.

Every month we highlight a different theme that can be studied or enjoyed using our zine library. This month's WGaZfT is tea. With the NYC weather changing (along with the global climate), some of us are switching from iced to hot tea for the winter.

New collection available for researchers interested in Village Voice history, feminist film criticism, and late 20th century New York City writers circles

In this series, we’ll make syllabi in the form of zines for the classes of our dreams! We’ll reimagine how to construct a syllabus for self-directed continuing education. The four-part series will culminate at the end of the semester with Barnard’s Scholaztic Zine Fair, where we’ll have a chance to share zines with friends and other Barnard students!
