Jerod Pore collected articles and reviews from the print version of ''Factsheet Five'', and with them produced ''Factsheet Five - Electric'', one of the first zines to use the Usenet newsgroup [[alt.zines]]. Beginning in the late 1980s, Gunderloy and Pore also established a substantial online presence on the [[WELL (virtual community)|WELL]], an influential, private dial-up BBS.
 
Three books were published based on ''Factsheet Five'':  ''How to Publish a Fanzine'' by Gunderloy (1988; [[Loompanics]]), ''The World of Zines'', by Gunderloy and Janice (1992; Penguin), and ''The Factsheet Five Zine Reader'' by Friedman (1997, Three Rivers Press). Until 1989, Gunderloy collected and, in turn, made available several versions of the [[Gemstone File]]. A number of Gunderloy's zine reviews from ''Factsheet Five'' also appeared in edited form in ''[[High Weirdness by Mail]].''
 
Mike Gunderloy's Factsheet Five Collection of over 10,000 zines and [[mail art]] is now held at the [[New York State Library]] in [[Albany, New York]], where it occupies {{convert|300|cuft|m3}}.<ref>"A Zine Lover's Dream," New York State Library News, April 1997.</ref> However, only about 4000 zines in the collection have been cataloged.<ref>Jeremy Gardner, [http://www.librarystudentjournal.org/index.php/lsj/article/viewArticle/101/245 "Zines in the Academic Library: A Literature Review,"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101219015232/http://www.librarystudentjournal.org/index.php/lsj/article/viewArticle/101/245 |date=2010-12-19 }} ''Library Student Journal, May 2009.</ref>
