1. What value does Bloodhound offer educational institutions?

Bloodhound offers a unique search tool that complements and supplements the lynchpin of all good education deliveries: Solid research, carefully mined. Arguably, one of the best benefits comes from the task of training the Hounds to hunt precisely, especially in “territory” where the source material has already passed well-established academic rigor.

2. Who are the primary stakeholders in Academia for integrating a Bloodhound Search engine?

Teachers. Professors. Instructors. Guidance counselors. Senior Leadership. In other words, all those who are determined to help learners gain access to reliable source materials — and just as important, how to help them discover how good search methods and affordable technology can separate that which merely glitters from that which is true gold.

3. How does Bloodhound Search differ from other online library search systems?

Bloodhound keeps searching and searching and searching - 24/7/365. It automatically uploads what it finds to a personal web site where those who have a precise interest in a particular topic can view 24/7/365 — from anywhere where there is Net connectivity. (And where is there not?)

4. Can Bloodhound Search be customized to fit all levels of education?

Yes! Motivated pre-school teachers will find Bloodhound just as useful as will Doctoral candidates and wise university presidents. The good news is the Net opened access to vast amounts of real treasure. The bad news is the landscape is so huge that it has to be sifted and sorted….impossible without smart technology. Our Hounds are exactly that….but they have to be trained by smart human beings…also called educators.

5. How could our school benefit by establishing a student Bloodhound Search engine?

What could possibly be better than providing your students with their own personal Hound? One that can sniff out “treasures” — where both learner and instructor can easily examine what the Hound returns? The experience of training your personal Hound will be just as valuable as what the Hound actually finds. What else is “school” about except to learn how to learn?
