Gleeson Zine Library

A collection of DIY publications that supports social justice and community engagement.

Donate Your Zines!

We encourage everyone — especially members of the USF community — to consider donating their zines to the Gleeson Zine Library collection. This includes zines that you have created, as well as zines created by others from your own collection.

Statement of Consent

Before submitting any zines, please consider the following information:

Information about the zines in our collection is in our catalog, Ignacio, which can be browsed online by anyone. Access to Gleeson Library is limited to USF students, staff, and faculty. Anyone inside the library can browse and read the zines in our collection. The zines can be checked out to any member of the USF community with borrowing privileges. 

Gleeson Zine Library may photograph the cover material of zines for browsing aids and promotion. We recognize the sometimes personal nature of zines, and we respect the creator/publisher's potential concerns about access to their work. Therefore, we ask you to consider who we are, how we share information about the zines in our collection, and how we provide access to the zines. Please acknowledge your consent when submitting your work to the Gleeson Zine Library.

How to Submit

Please fill out the provided Gleeson Zine Library Submission Form. Your consent is required for the library to formally accept your donations. Provide as much description as possible about your zine — this is very helpful for creating catalog records.

A submission form is required for every zine you donate. Note that not all submitted zines will be added to the collection.

Zine donations can be dropped off at the Gleeson front desk or mailed to Gleeson Library at this address:
