Make research WAY easier with Serendip-o-matic!

Ok, this has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.  I found it while browsing in the amazing Digital Public Library of America.  It's called Serendip-o-matic, and it's an app that will use the text you insert (so, your own research notes/paper, or an article you read, or a poem you like) and it will pull resources related to the WORDS in that text from all of the libraries and museums connected on the DPLA site.  So you'll end up with images, art, maps, diagrams, and even
more texts related to your ideas and research.  Amazing!
