I had a bit of fun creating a searchroll. I just put together a list of book selling sites as a practice and it was easy. Searching other rolls is a bit clunky at present as I had to type in the title of the searchroll into the search bar. Maybe it was just a glitch for me.
Searching rolls made by others can still be hit and miss as you are being directed to sites that they deem to be appropriate relevant, accurate and authentic when in fact that may not be the case for your particular purposes.
I probably wouldn't use Rollyo on a regular basis or in the classroom in its present form.
Our library software has the capacity to catalogue websites and I would prefer that students use the web based catalogue search as a method for locating and selecting sites based on targeted subject areas and within the environment of both web based, audio-visual and text based sources of information.
