"Rolly-O oh Rolly-O, Wherefore art thou Rolly-O" And if you think this tool is kinda weird, then just know that I could NOT remember what came afer "Romeo, oh Romeo ... " UNTIL I did a seach on Quick Quotes. Very cool.
Ah - my experience with Rolly-O started out much like the feud between the Montagues and Capulets. There was no love lost between us. I could see both the value and the ease, but I was darned if I could make the darn thing link to my blog. Duh ... until "what light through yonder window breaks, It is the east and Rolly-O the sun" I realized that the link brought me to the search page of my new searchrolls and all I had to do was copy the URL. Sometimes it's just TOO easy.
In a non-technical way, I've been Rolly-o-ing forever in my little elementary libraries. Everytime I come up with a "list of good sites" for x-y-z's assignment, I've limited my students to searching sites that will have age-appropriate, readable and accurate information. This tool is awesome for helping students search quickly and easily without being overwhelmed by a million or two hits. (And they won't have to type the URL which can always be fun.)
So wanting a little fun in my life, and needing a boost from my sadness for the Patriot's loss (though it was an INCREDIBLE game), I created a Searchroll of Red Sox sites.
And then figuring that I should probably make this a LITTLE bit about being a librarian, I started editing the Reference Rolly-o and will be making more additions now that I know this tool exists and can use it.
