About Rootza

Rootza is a product of PhD Education and Innovation Research by Victoria Redfern who conceived, designed and developed this tool as her PhD project at the University of Canberra ACT Australia.

The aim of developing Rootza was to provide a tool programmed with subject/unit search terms, the 6 steps of information seeking and the 5 requirements necessary to cite papers in an academic document.

I wish you good and productive searching!

The Rootza site is powered by the Black Lion e-Business Infrastructure which was conceptualised and built by Navin Edwin. The e-Business Infrastructure is a secure and robust set of programs and modules that work together to build a dynamic website. In order to run Rootza's intelligent search functionality, a Google-search extension was custom-designed and added to the system.
