In December, 2008, we did two things in Library Classes: one, we looked at a slide show on how books are made; two, we made our own silly story that was published on this blog, on the Web.<\/p>\n
We now are discussing the differences and similarities between these two media and two processes:<\/p>\n
Similar:<\/p>\n
1. You can read books AND web pages\/ebook.
\n2. You can open a book and open a web page.
\n3. Publishing books and web pages in the 21st century takes TYPING\/USING computers.<\/p>\n
Different:<\/p>\n
1. You can carry a book around easily but not always a computer, unless you have a laptop, internet connection, and electricity.
\n2. Publishing a web page does not take that many people and steps or as long as publishing a book.
\n3. Sometimes, it is easier to find your places (links, search, etc.) when you read a web page.
\n4. There is actually printing involved in making books (paper, printer, ink, etc.)\u00a0 It takes longer to produce.
\n5. Publishing on the web saves paper.
\n6. Usually, you have to pay to buy books and their content, but there is a lot of free stuff on the Web, including stories, news, games, etc.
\n7. Almost anyone can put up web pages, but it still is not that common for everyone to publish books.
\n8. Web Publishing doesn’t always have to cost money, but book publishing ALWAYS costs money.
\n9. Web publishing does not always make money for the web authors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
