Rollyo reminds me of our federated search package - SingleSearch - the distinction being that the majority of subscription based sources on SingleSearch are accessed via connectors, whereas Rollyo relies on the free to air content from the internet.I created a new search roll called News - Australia, utilising the major online news services and newspapers and this is publically available for use. This time around I did not bother with creating a username, but if I end up using this service more regularly in future, I certainly will create a profile.
Editing an existing search roll was simpler than I thought - just access it and make the changes. I did this for a roll called 'My recipes', adding a local Australian site - recipefinder.ninemsn.com.au - to a predominantly US centric list.
After exploring some of the existing searchrolls, I can see how our research capability can be supplemented by dipping into these ready made resources that may provide good leverage particularly when commencing a research project. Search results for 'taxation' included very relevant rolls such as:
*Canadian Taxation rolled by macneiju
*TAXATION Search rolled by trillbaby
*Business and Legal rolled by oz_mendoza
*Complaince of Tax rolled by sopirbis
*Revenue Agencies rolled by elibrary
