Google Guide
As most people use Google for the majority of their searches, I thought that my first post should be about this tool. It has its limitations (natural language searching being high among them) but it also has many features that most people aren’t aware of. Google Guide is an incredibly useful reference for making the most of Google. It could be a little long to read in a single sitting but it’s well indexed and easy to navigate so that you can go directly to the section that interests you. I would recommend at least looking at their Cheat Sheet and Calculator Cheat Sheet which have quick lists of the different operators you can use in Google and what they do.
Welcome to my Digital Library
The idea for this site came from reference questions I’ve received and my own desire to keep a record of what I have learned and useful resources I have found. I will be using this blog to share useful reference sites on various subjects. I will also be discussing issues of interest to me related to library studies.
Why am I a rogue librarian? Perhaps because I have a great interest in popular culture and new technologies; I want to find a way to integrate these interests with the more traditional aspects of librarianship. This site is my small way of contributing to this effort. You can find more about me on the about page.
Welcome to the Rogue Librarian’s Digital Library, I hope you find it helpful.
