Short stories seem to be regarded as a bit more trnasient. Or, at least as a stepping stone to full novels. It is also easier to go to the bookstore and look up a book by an author than find a book or a magazine that has a short story by someone specific in it.
Of course, plenty of people out there don't really understand the work needed to perfect the craft, so assume that if you've been published, it must be in book form and there's no intermediary steps.
