Zine Machine: A DIY Magazine Primer Did you spend your young adult years with Sharpie marks all over your fingers, sneaking access to the library photocopier to produce handmade doctrines to hand out at concert venues? If so, then you know what zines are all about. For the rest of us: zines are DIY magazines that have been enjoying a burst of popularity in recent years. Zine-making resonates with the library field's values of promoting activism, freedom of speech and freedom of expression. If you are a programming librarian, consider hosting a zine workshop at your library. One of the most appealing aspects of a zine program is the infinite versatility of the format. The beginnings Some zine enthusiasts (code name: zinesters) argue that the earliest example of a zine might have been authored by theologian Martin Luther, when he affixed his Ninety-Five Theses on the Castle Church door at Wittenburg in 1517. The first zines on the scene were created by sci-fi fans. Riot grrrls Zines today Zine workshops in the library

Zines stand in this long tradition of self-publication. Historically, they could even be traced back to 1517 when Martin Luther published his "zine", the "Ninety-five Theses," a time when Johannes Gutenberg had just invented the printing press and self-publication began to spread. Self-publication has always been a political medium and frequently used to express resistance, for example during the French Revolution. - (Riot) Grrrl Zines: When in 1991 the riot grrrl movement emerged out of the alternative and punk music scene in the United States, thousands of young women began to produce personal and political zines with explicitly feminist themes. - E-Zines: During the 1990s the zine network expanded enormously into the realm of e-zines.

Zines, E-Zines, Fanzines : The Book of Zines : Directory Digitarina-sovelluksia Erilaisten digitarinoiden tekeminen oppilaitoksissa on nähdäkseni lisääntynyt viime vuosina ja itsekin olen niistä aika monta koulutusta vetänyt. Videokuvaus ja -editointi on minulla pääosin vapaa-aikaan liittyvien matka- ja perhetarinoiden tekemistä. Työn puolesta minua innostavat tällä hetkellä etenkin Adobe Voicen kaltaiset helpot sovellukset, joilla saa visuaalisesti hienoa sisältöä. Suomalais-amerikkalaisen ThingLinkin interaktiiviset kuvat ja videot tarjoavat myös hienoja mahdollisuuksia opetukseen, niin opettajan kuin oppijoidenkin työkaluna. Alla olevat diasarjat ovat molemmat ajoittain päivittyviä diasarjoja (muut löydät tämän sivun yläosasta), joista ainakaan pidempiä en käytännössä koskaan käytä sellaisenaan, vaan karsin ja muokkaan niiden pohjalta osallistujajoukolle kulloinkin sopivan version.
