I see that as a huge draw in writing and drawing online. As far as the library's role in webcomics/any online source, I think it's important for us to incorporate them just as any other material type. I think it's also really neat because, as Jenni said she discovered some, it's really nice that this form does kind of snowball on itself and allows the reader to make more discoveries and kind of take ownership of their reading. Although, the consistant updating of the links and websites could be time comsuming. I think if I wanted to advertise webcomics as a readinglist, I'd do bookmarks or handouts in addition to having it on the library website.<br />Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198987267674870722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413024568415423699.post-60830145318323416752013-03-20T12:19:27.741-07:002013-03-20T12:19:27.741-07:00I agree that we should be collecting these types o...I agree that we should be collecting these types of sources. They are just as relevant, and popular, as their print counterparts. I find that since the artists have more freedom on the internet and can go into issues that can't be done as easily in print, that attracts many readers.

With many of the children as young as 10 years old writing HTML, it is not surprising if they are going to be interested making short comic strips as a start using Photoshop, or other software to create their comics online. <br /><br />It is too early to tell how wide this popularity can get, but I would not be surprised if there is enough interest, there may be even forums, groups such as Facebook, Goodreads of it.

They could be used on in-shelf reader's advisory, as well. <br /><br />I first discovered web comics because a friend found a funny site and sent it to me, and that site linked to another site, and so on. I still only follow a few sites, and I know there are many, many more out there, but I do believe they are gaining in popularity.Jenni Frenchamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350704405611264067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413024568415423699.post-91296440857790999282013-03-18T12:27:43.729-07:002013-03-18T12:27:43.729-07:00I never really knew about webcomics until this cla...I never really knew about webcomics until this class and I am excited to spend more time exploring them. Since you work in a library now, how do you think the best way to integrate webcomics into the collection would be? Posting a list (like booklists but for webcomics) of suggested ones by the shelf? Posting them online? How did you find out about webcomics? <br /><br />:) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
