Week 8: tasks 16 - 18: search engines

Task 16: Find an archived document on the “Wayback Machine”. Post about this and other ways of finding lost websites.

Task 17: LISZEN is a customised search engine of hundreds of library blogs. List the top three sites returned from your topic of choice.

Task 18: Create your own custom engine using GoogleCSE. Discuss how this could be integrated into Moodle.

Wayback Machine http://archive.org/web/web.php: I looked for Bournemouth Libraries websites from 2005 to 2007 when I was editing it. For example I found the following:
23/04/07 
http://web.archive.org/web/20070423000118/http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/libraries
16/02/07
http://web.archive.org/web/20070216035316/http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/Libraries
26/09/06
http://web.archive.org/web/20060926024319/http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/Libraries

I also found this audio of Tony Benn speaking in Bournemouth Gardens in Sept 2003
http://archive.org/details/Tony_Benn_speaking_in_Bournemouth_September_2003

I am also aware of the British Library's UK Web Archive www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa which is being used to archive the CILIP website following its 2013 refresh. 
See www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/target/131969/source/search

and CILIP Communities at www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/target/65994835/source/search

As web editor of 2 local CILIP groups, and blog editor of one of these I have also archived our web pages at Archive.is http://archive.is e.g. http://archive.is/Whw9m (ARLG-S), and

http://archive.is/OoYWU (SE-H&W) and http://archive.is/cLN4K (SE-H&W Communities blog)  

LISZEN http://liszen.com: 

I searched for '23 Things'. The top 3 results were:

1. Apr 2013 "23 Mobile Things: Join the Australian / New Zealand Course" by katejf http://librariesinteract.info/2013/04/12/23-mobile-things-join-the-australian-new-zealand-course

Google CSE (Custom Search Engine) www.google.com/cse: I created a custom search engine that searches 8 Dorset and Hampshire newspaper websites e.g. Bournemouth Echo www.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=013894997405035377614:qjsiyva_wly I can use this to search for news stories about local libraries for one of my other blogs.

In 2011 I found one that I shared with Popular Music Technology students in a session:  www.google.com/cse/home?cx=007990972803243645986:e6r-qn3sehy

A Google CSE could be created for each College subject area to search all their 'useful websites' that are not password protected and the link put on their Moodle subject page.
