Four volume zine on info lit by academic librarian. I really love this non-tech, low-budget approach to providing materials about bibliographic instruction. It's a great way to think about non-traditional formats in academic settings.

I really like that this shows the common pitfall of selecting a topic, then doing research, and feeling stuck because, as it turns out, there are no scholarly resources. This explains the process to students about having an idea, doing some exploratory research, tweaking your topic, etc. Really nice production quality, too.
