Drafting a Zine Collection Development Policy
For my final project at the University of Texas' School of Information, I helped the Austin History Center draft a policy on how to expand their zine collection. Zines are a type of handmade publication that often reflect subcultures and marginalized voices. The Austin History Center wishes to collect them in order to better document local culture. I researched practices at peer institutions in order to decide which should be recommended to my supervisor.
