Zines (pronounced zeens) are small, handmade, counter-culture folded booklets that offer the perfect space to share your message and express your thoughts. Born out of DIY and punk subcultures, zines exist outside of mainstream publishers and cover virtually any topic from art and personal diaries to politics and niche fandoms.

Inspired is the celebration of faculty research and creative activity presented by Meriam Library. This is the 5th year in which we recognize the stellar scholarship of Chico State faculty. Appetizers, beverages, live music, and fun await all those who attend! 

2017 Lantis University Professor, Donald Miller, Ph. D., is a professor in Chico State’s Biology Department. His presentation, “Ecology and Evolution of Tamalia Gall Aphids on Their Host Plants, Manzanita Shrubs” will be followed by a Q&A with attendees.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind game show where pop culture meets copyright law! Watch our celebrity faculty contestants tackle the four factors of fair use — Purpose and Character, Nature of the Work, Amount and Substantiality, and Effect on the Market — to see who can best analyze real-world scenarios.

Whatcha mean? What’s a zine? A zine (short for magazine) is a small, handmade, often counter-culture folded booklet that can express a message or share information about a topic (or whatever you want). In this workshop, and with the help of the Art and Art History Department, we'll teach you about zines and then help you create your own! Supplies and snacks will be provided.
 

PubMed is a free resource supporting the search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature. It’s a really BIG database. This workshop will take you through how to find research articles and navigate different areas of the database like filters, subject searching, and wildcards to get at the best search results.
