Zine Creators- We need your input on interlibrary loan copy policies!

If you create zines, would you mind filling out this survey?

Link to Survey

Barnard Zine Library is surveying zine makers to find out what their preferences are when it comes to making inter library loan copy requests of their own zines available to patrons.

The survey investigates the possibility of copying all or part of a zine to make available to a patron who can’t make it to the physical location of the library where the zine is located. This could be because the patron lives in another state or because the patron is a prisoner, for example.

The survey also asks some questions specific to how to handle inter library loan copy requests for prisoners. If zines are photocopied for prisoners,  should some of the contact information of the zine creator be blocked out? Or should it remain?

Librarians need help understanding how to handle inter-library loan copy requests in a way that respects the zine makers!

Thanks for your time! These results could help all zine librarians get a sense of what zine makers want when it comes to inter library loan copy policies.

Thanks to Barnard Zine Library for putting this survey together!

You have until August 28th to fill out the survey. Please spread the word and share with other zine creators!
