Since I have links to other Rasmuson Learning 2.0 bloggers, I do spend some time checking out what they've been exploring. Reading Adasiak's blog I was curious to see what he'd done with Rollyo, since I wasn't that thrilled when I worked on it. His Rollyo is created for those looking for Fairbanks specific sites--aha, could I create something similar for the English Department? So I gave Rollyo another go!
You know what I'm really looking for? A search engine that searches both our licensed databases and freebie web sources. While I included CQ Researcher in the list of places to search and it was included in the search process, it didn't bring me results from Rasmuson's subscription source. Which brings me back to some work I'm doing on the federated search engine committee--we're looking at products that search licensed databases and freebie web sources. And I'm back to the usefulness of Google (one of my favorite lessons was creating a search engine via Google!) for the freebie sites. No, I'm not giving up on looking for new resources that can provide services I'd like to use; the exposure to these resources is great! I do believe that one day it will all come together.
And on Wendi Lyons' blog I found a recipe for falafels via her Epicurean link. The blogs are useful!
