ABSTRACT
Recent university-wide budget cuts had forced the English Department's publication, Ezine, to cut down on printing, creating an opportunity to develop an add-on to the magazine in online form, E-Zine Online. Students first considered how to convert the print-only medium into online interactive format.  One advantage of Ezine Online is teaching and promoting computer literacy and integrating this in a language program. Another benefit is providing local content that can be used in the university's language classes. While space for the magazine is supplied by the university web server, a mirror site is also maintained through XOOM, one of numerous web communities that supply free web server space.  The mirror site allows us to compare using the provided university server space and using space on web communities outside of Korea for those wishing to publish online who do not have access to a local web server.
