# Welcome to the Zine Union Catalog

### What are we doing and why
There is no one central catalog (a database of holdings in a library or zine collecting institution) for searching and finding zines.  In the US, [Worldcat.org](worldcat.org) provides access to a union catalog, but it is mostly for books, journals, and audio visual materials. Zine and zine collections are not consistently cataloged in WorldCat.

[The Zine Union Catalog](http://zinecat.org/) (ZUC) fills a gap by providing a searchable platform to discover zines and zine collections.

### Who are we
We are a group of librarians, zinesters, archivists, zine collectors, zine enthusiasts, and more.  :smile_cat: **All are welcome!!** :smile_cat:

For the last two years, [Jenna Freedman](http://lowereastsidelibrarian.info/) & Lauren Kehoe have been working on the development of ZineCat through work in their [MA in Digital Humanities program at the CUNY Graduate Center](https://www.gc.cuny.edu/Page-Elements/Academics-Research-Centers-Initiatives/Masters-Programs/Digital-Humanities), but there are many more involved in the project!

### What do we need
- zine metadata
- a near comprehensive list of zine collections
- volunteers 
- a developer for the front and backends of the catalog, run on Collective Access (https://www.collectiveaccess.org/)
- outreach support

### How can you get involved
- provide feedback
- donate time
- donate expertise
- make a suggestion
- make a connection
- make a zine
