...Most zines are photocopied. Some are printed offset like a magazine, but with a smaller print run, say from 1 to 100. In a zine, you might find typos, misspelled words, improper grammar, and brilliant or radical or just plain honest ideas that simply aren't allowed in many other mainstream publications. Zines are different from e-zines, which are "zines" published on the Internet (via personal web pages or email lists). More and more, both "zines" and "e-zines" are used to describe these electronic publications. There are significant differences between the two, and Zine World [the library too]chooses to retain the distinction. A "zine" generally means something on paper."
