A swicki as a "search 2.0" tool for the library staff
I just added a swicki to one of my other blogs today and I'm pretty excited about it. A swicki is a search engine that learns from your community's search behavior (it's been referred to as "Search 2.0" and quite different from a Google search engine).
Here's a link to the Eurekster swicki page if anyone would like to take a look.
I'm wondering how the library staff would feel about a collective swicki of sorts on this blog? We can add additional keywords based on each person's areas of interest in the library world. Maybe we can all explore this new tool together and collectively decide whether it's useful for our purposes?
(Since no one knows about this blog yet, I think I'll assume that everyone thinks it's a great idea and get it started.)

That's our swicki search engine in the upper right-hand corner. You can type in a search or just click on a keyword in the tag cloud.
I don't have time to try it out at the moment, but I'll get to it soon. Let me know if you find it useful or not. What you like and don't like about it.
