Do you have a group of websites that are your favorites? Or a set of online resources that are similar that you frequently use to answer homework or reference questions? Well Rollyo may be the tool for you. Rollyo allows you to create your own search tool for the just the websites you know and trust.
Take a look at some of these search rolls that have already been created:
- Public Domain e-Books Search
- Rare Book Library Search
- Free Photos
- Quick Quotes
- Explore other rolls here.
Try a search for broad terms like "homework” or “history” to see results listed from multiple sites.
One of our own Geeks has a post on her blog, OPL’S PSA: Omaha Library’s Passably Sane Assistant on Rollyo
Discovery Exercise:
1. Explore Rollyo and create an account for yourself.
2. Create a search roll for any subject you like.
3. Create a post in your blog about your experience and link to your search roll. Can you see a potential use for tools like this?
