2 Passive zine collection ● Accumulated over time via Legal Deposit ● Fully catalogued as conventional monographs and serials ● Allocated into perceived relevant collections ● eg: Arts, Australian History & Literature, Rare Books, etc ● Though all titles are unbrowsable and many don't have 'zines' or 'fanzines' in their LCSH listing, so thus go unused most of the time
