The OCAD U Zine Library is an ever-growing collection of self-published and handmade publications located in the Library at OCAD University. The collection was created to inspire, educate and entertain, to encourage collaboration between OCAD U students and to open up the world of zines for readers and creators everywhere!
Make sure to check the "Search within results" box next to the search box to search for zines in our collection. Searching without selecting this option will retrieve results from all Artstor Public Collections. You can search by title, author, publisher, subject, material or technique.
If you are planning to visit the collection in person, write down the Accession number of the zines you'd like to see. They indicate the location of the zine on the shelf. Staff in the Learning Zone can help you find it if you're having any trouble.
If you're having trouble finding zines on a specific topic, try changing up your search terms or using synonyms for the search term. If you need any help finding zines in our collection, email Learning Zone Coordinator Heather Evelyn at hev...@ocadu.ca for a personal search consultation.
We have scanned the covers of the zines in our collection to improve access through searching and browsing. If you are the copyright holder for the content in any image in the collection and wish to have your content removed, please contact Heather Evelyn at hev...@ocadu.ca
Members of the public are welcome to visit the zine library any time the Learning Zone is open. Please refer to the Learning Zone hours before your visit. The Learning Zone is a secured space, requiring card swipe access. Members of the public may knock on the door and indicate to the staff that they would like to view the zine collection to gain access.
The OCAD Zine Library has been built from generous donations from zinesters at OCAD University, in Toronto and worldwide. If you would like to share your zines or have a collection of your own that needs a new home, the OCAD Zine Library will happily collect, catalogue and share these publications for many years to come.
By sending your donation, you consent to have the cover of your zine scanned for use in our Zine Library catalog, to improve access to the collection through searching and browsing. In cases where zines donated are already in our collection, duplicate donations may be added to our roaming collection (used when we travel to off-site events) or donated to other zine libraries or to OCAD U students.

Groundwork is a three-part film and exhibition series exploring the conceptual development and field research of contemporary architects cultivating alternative modes of engagement with new project sites. Using documentary as a curatorial tool, the CCA will take a critical look at how designers across diverse geographies and contexts engage with their environments in preliminary phases of projects. In doing so, thinking processes, research, and stages of transformation will be highlighted as revelatory aspects of architectural work that help to deepen our understanding of new critical modes of practice and engagement. In light of the ecological crisis, the project questions how different architects situate themselves in relation to changing natural and disciplinary boundaries.
