All right! In this blog post, I am going to discuss my next chapter for my classes' e-book. We are currently writing an e-book about reading in the digital age, and how platforms such as Amazon, Kindle, and Goodreads facilitate that.
I had a hard time coming up with my second chapter idea, but I did what Dr. Burton suggested, and I went back to some of my original blog posts. I touched on an idea that I think will make a really awesome chapter edition! Read below to find out more!

CONTENT LAYOUT
I really want to talk about online libraries, and library subscription services. I plan to do that in the context of Pride and Prejudice by talking about reputation. Traditional libraries have a reputation of being kind of antiquated, but new, online libraries and subscription services are really awesome and a great way to access literature. Reputation is a very important theme in Pride and Prejudice, and I am still working on how exactly I am going to relate the two completely. I hope to come to class with a more solid idea.
I like this idea. Is there a way you could incorporate Goodreads by talking about how we can become librarians on there? We never figured out as a class how the librarians on Goodreads become librarians. Maybe you could research that?
ReplyDeleteI found an article that went along pretty well with this, I think this link will work!

How are you going to tie this in to reputation? Like, just changing prejudices, etc? That could work. I like the idea and think it has potential.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the awesome pointers!
