I posted previously about google co-op and what it might allow. One of the things I wanted to do was get our e-resource listings augmented and put up. My hopes would be to get some of the quality journals and indexes assigned common keywords they might be associated with. Our programmer Josh apparently read my mind and got an initial version up. It doesn’t seem to bring stuff up for all subjects we have specified but it’s a start. I had forgotten about research guides and it’s good to see those come up on top. Lots of future possibilities for this. Here’s a pic of what it looks like:

google subscribed links

Some thoughts for the future:

  • tag resources with the various subjects they handle
  • Allow patron tagging of e-resources?? Use those as keywords for co-op?
  • Update links for ezproxy once it's ready
  • Look at common searches that are research related and build or tag guides?
