The self-publishing history of zines includes a long tradition of resistance through storytelling and art. While the explosive growth of generative AI in our society has been embraced by many, those interested in media literacy may have doubts about seemingly endless AI boosterism. In this session, we'll discuss making zines as an accessible way of providing opportunities for everyone to share their thoughts on the impact that generative AI will have on their professional and personal lives. Attendees will learn more about the radical possibilities of zines and create their own minizine exploring their hopes and concerns for generative AI.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR SERIES: The Leading from the Library Series explores the unique role that librarians and library workers can play in leading digital and media literacy programs. What unique ‘flavors’ do libraries bring to digital and media literacy learning? What creative solutions are librarians exploring to engage learners? And (how) is AI shaping the conversation about literacy in libraries?
Across the series, we’ll explore a range of opportunities and challenges for librarians who are leading or hoping to lead digital literacy initiatives, including how to get started, partnering with learner-leaders, identifying partners, and more.
