Rollyo

At first, I admit, I had a hard time seeing how this site could be very useful to me. However, as I was looking at all they types of search rolls that had been created, I started to see where it could be useful.

More than once I've had a graduate student come to me and say that they were having trouble locating a source that they knew they'd accessed. I can see where creating your own search roll of sites related to your research would be helpful in a case like this. After all, google is phenomenonal but for esoteric sites and information, you have to go through several pages of results. If you've created your own search roll of sites that will likely be of use to you, you can simply start searching those and not have to worry about paging through several sets of hits.
