#12 Rollyo

I've created two search rolls so far using Rollyo. The first is a recipe search. I actually like browsing through my many cook books or bulging recipe folder for inspiration- when I have the time. However, sometimes it's handy to be able to search for a recipe with just a few clicks rather jumping from book to book, index to index. Rollyo worked well for me for this topic because it meant I could limit the search to just a few good Australian sites, avoiding unknown American terms for ingredients and that pesky imperial measurement system. I also created a search roll related to speech pathology, which I studied recently. I'm in two minds as to whether I would want to use this when actually studying. By carefully choosing sites that you believe to be well researched and reliable you could be saving yourself the time that it takes to filter through a general google search. However, there is the possibility that you might also miss out on valuable information if you create too narrow a search roll. Also with a clinical science such as speech pathology, it is valuable to be exposed to the personal as well as academic texts that are available on the internet (perhaps not to complete a 2000 word assignment on the anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract, but in order to understand the experiences of your clients and their families).
