Rollyo was interesting, and easy to use in terms of creating a searchroll. Mine is song lyrics and I imported 4 websites to search. When I did a test search, 2 of my websites gave me a message saying they couldn't find anything. And this week and next are pretty crazy work-wise, so I don't have time to see what's up with that. I did have trouble getting the Rollyo icon into my blog. I searched awhile through the website looking for answers and trying some things, but I couldn't make it happen until I enlisted the help of a very smart coworker. He said he had a little trouble himself with this same process, but figured out a way to make it happen.

I'm really not sure how a library could use this site. I guess doing reference work with a patron, but there's probably other search methods library staff would go to first. I see more personal uses for people, I think. Oh, and here's hoping you can search my searchroll now that it is linked to my blog. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works!

    Just going through and leaving comments. I wasn't impressed by Rollyo either. http://23camillias.blogspot.com/

    I tried it and it works! Not extremely impressive, as others have said, but interesting. A.
