creating a custom google search sure narrows down the wide-wide-web. certainly a useful thing when you don't want to be inundated with info. it's nice when you know what sites generate the most useful info for whatever topic you're searching, but i ended up having to do a regular google search just to find sites to even put in the custom search engine...not that it was so obscure--wine and cowboy bebop and such things.
having a library search engine makes sense so that we can see what's what at other libraries, keep up with what they're doing, get new ideas, etc. makes sense for anyone wanting to keep up on info about their favorite subjects, really. search-yo!
this is the bebop roll: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=009988533983608634520%3Avjxycf2clpq, and the wine stuff: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=009988533983608634520%3A_lo_u4wh178.
About Me
- Rowena Mangohig
- KCLS has been my home for nearly 7 years. I've worked there part time since I moved to Washington. Recently I was lucky enough to become a full time Library Associate (after more than 5 years of part time work, I am loving this full time gig.) Still, I'm longing for the coveted librarian position. Full time, please. But I won't hold my breath. At least KCLS provided me with tuition assistance to pay for school. We'll have to see how things play out. Dare I hope? In any case, I thought I'd share my reference experiences, the books I'm reading, and some of my day to day events in the hopes that these can be helpful to others in the same boat.
