Rollyo

At first glance I wasn't sure that Rollyo would be something I would use but as I got working with it I started to think of some possible applications for it. For example, our library website does not have a search capability. I created a Searchroll that includes our website, the City website and theowen.com (I'll add more Owen Sound specific sites later). Now I can search across all these sites at once (and ONLY these sites) to find city related information that I know I can trust.

I also find myself checking other libraries' websites to see how they are doing things especially things related to Unicorn and public access computers. I have all the Ontario Library Consortium libraries in my favourites but I have to look at each one individually. With the OLC Libraries Searchroll that I created, I can now search across 20+ libraries (once I get them all entered) for something like 'wireless' and see what the other libraries are doing all in one searchlist. Pretty cool. Thanks to Rollyo and Library 2.0!
