Recently in MSAS:

Zine Day which took place on February 4th was a great success. Thanks to all who participated!

A Zine, “pronounced zeen – derived from magazine – is an independently- or self-published booklet, often created by a single person. Zines are customarily created by physically cutting and glue text and images together onto a master flat for photocopying, but it is also common to produce the master by typing and formatting pages on a computer. The end product is usually folded and stapled. Zines can be printed and bound in any manner. Offset printing is a relatively common alternative to photocopying, though there is some controversy among zine writers as to whether professionally printed products may be defined as zines.” (http://zinelibraries.info/events/zinelibraryday/)
