#12 roll your own

This has been my least favorite activity so far, which I guess is why I put it off. I just don't really see myself using this very often. It took me a while to think of a topic I could use: what's something I repeatedly search for that involves looking at multiple websites? Finally it dawned on me: recipes. So I loaded up several sites and viola.


Powered by Rollyo

Interesting that when you do a search using your rollyo tool, you still end up with results from places other than the ones you selected -- "sponsored links."

Other ideas I came up with which might be useful rollyo searches: Crafts or coloring sheets (could be useful for YS programs). Or medical sites (better to used trusted sources than a google search, if you're looking up diseases or symptoms, etc.). Maybe parenting tips / advice.

Anyway, it's not something I'd add to the library website, but I could see it being used by specific staff or in specific departments, maybe.
