Donate your Zines to the Zine Library at Pace
Pace student work is an important part of the Pace Zine Library collection. We are actively seeking your zines! Here's a guide to the Pace Zine Library, which includes print copies of zines. This is an important opportunity to share your work with the Pace community, especially other students.
Adding Your Paper Zine
We're not looking for the "original" of your zine, which probably has tape and glue. We'd love to get a photocopy of it! You will p robably be able to figure out how to make photocopies and fold the pages in the correct order. If you need help with that, just get in touch. Most zines are usually photocopied in bunches of 10 or more!
Adding your Digital Word Zine
Your Word zine was designed to be downloaded, printed double sided (flip on short edge), and folded into a booklet. If you follow the simple instructions, the zine shoudl just fall in to place after you click print. If you need help, contact us.
Donate your Zines to the Pace Digital Commons
Pace University has a Digitial Commons, a place where electronic publications made by the Pace community live. We are actively seeking student work to feature there. This is an opportunity to publish your work and make it widely available. Here is a link to the Digital Commons Zine page.
Adding Your Digital Word Zine
Your Word zine was designed to be downloaded, printed double sided (flip on short edge), and folded into a booklet. This booklet format needs to be modified in order to add your zine to the Digital Commons. You need to make your zine "readable" on a screen. In other words, you need to reorganize your Word zine, changing the order of the pages. One way to do this is to open a new Word file and copy and paste the page content from your original Word zine. The best way to do this is to take screen shots of each column.
In the new Word file, put the content in order of traditional reading from left to right, starting with the cover. Then save the new file as a PDF. Another method is to print out your Word zine and take pictures of each cover and column. Add those pictures to a new Word file, in order for reading online. Then save as a PDF. Here's an example from George Davis.
Adding your Paper Zine
Your paper zine needs to be scanned or photographed. Whatever method you choose, make sure it is readable in the correct page order. Here is an example from Alexandria Glover, a student in a Women and Gender Studies class last year. It's a good idea to make the front and back covers single pages. You can photograph "spreads" of the other pages, like Alexandria did, or photograph every single page. If you think there is something important about the design of each "spread," then photograph the spread. If you want to highlight every single page, then photograph every single page by itself. This will make a longer digitized zine, obviously.
