Search Engines and Libraries
* Greg Lindahl, blekko CTO, greg@blekko.com
[https://blekko.com blekko] is a new web-scale search engine which enables end-users to create vertical search engines, through a feature called [http://help.blekko.com/index.php/category/slashtags/ slashtags]. Slashtags can contain as few as 1 or as many as tens of thousands of websites relevant to a narrow or broad topic. We have an extensive set of slashtags curated by a combination of volunteers and an in-house librarian team, or end-users can create and share their own. This talk will cover examples of slashtag creation relevant to libraries, and show how to embed this search into a library website, either using javascript or via our API.
''We have exhibited at a couple of library conferences, and have received a lot of interest. blekko is a free service.''
