11. Responses to Questions
 Content versus Librarian-created content
 Content developed by the library media
specialist is general information. It is one of the
easiest to create, because it can be composed in
Microsoft Word. Later, it can be put into a web
page. School-librarian created content is
referred to digital archives. Databases are
examples of digital archives. Interactive
services require a high level of skill for web
creation.
