Learning Significance

What does the activity mean to you?

One impact I've found fascinating with all of the LIBR 509 assignments, including this one, is that I'm always surprised by how empowered and equipped each one leaves me feeling them, once I finally complete them. I've been fortunate enough to find multiple serendipitous occasions to share my assignments with other iSchool folks when a mutual interest came up in conversation. This analysis of xZINECOREx and the chance zine research discoveries that came out of it gave me plenty to gleefully share with the facilitators of the Join the Zine Scene: Exploring Library Values Through Collaborative Zine Making session at the 2024 BC Library Association conference this past week.
