This pathfinder has divided the material contained below into two sections. The first, "glossy magazines," lists serials to which the researcher might turn to discover information on new zines and "popular" articles on the women's and grrrls' zine culture. The second, "scholarly journals," lists the prominent journals in the field of women's studies; these should prove to be essential resources for the latest scholarly work on zine culture. Each citation has been linked to the publication's homepage. "Glossy" MagazinesBitch. San Francisco, CA: B-Word Worldwide, 1996-(quarterly). Subtitled "The Feminist Response to Pop Culture," Bitch has established itself, along with Bust, as one of the preeminent third wave feminist magazines. Although Bitch bears none of the physical traits of the zine, its content is closely allied to zine culture and it frequently carries information on women's zines. Duke University's Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture is the repository for Bitch's records. Bust. New York City, NY: Bust, Inc., 1993-(six times a year). Bust has led the charge of third wave feminists eager to reclaim and recast femininity on their own terms and with a wry sense of humor. Now a "glossy" magazine, Bust's early issues were black-and-white photocopied zines; true to its roots, the magazine continues to cover female zinsters and their work. Duke University's Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture is the repository for Bust's records. Utne Reader. Minneapolis, MN: Lens Publishing Co., 1984-(six times a year). Each issue of this compendium of the best articles from the alternative press includes Chris Dodge's "Street Librarian" column. His columns, which are usually themed, often review new zines. Dodge also maintains a "Street Librarian" website. Scholarly JournalsFeminist Collections: A Quarterly of Women's Studies Resources. Madison, WI: University of Wisconsin Library System, 1992-(quarterly).
