Zines???

Over the past few days i've been trying to do some research on zines on the net, and all i really come up with information on zine libraries that stock them (all of which seem to be in australia stragely), which really doesn't help me because i havent got a clue what to do! I think this kind of does say something about exactly what a zine is, it shows that they are basically chucked together and rushed out and there is no time to do the little complicated things like publish them online; although it is a bit annoying that i can't find anything!
