<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> TAPoR 3.0 is more than a place to find the classification of tools, it is a place to find and to use the tools themselves. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> There are a few ways in which you can find tools. Looking for something specific? You can scroll through the pages, use the 'search box' to search for tools you know, or by keywords. You can sort for other like tools by sorting by attribute, or follow the leads of other users through the recommendation engine: see what 'other people used.' Additionally, with the new lists system, you can look at other lists people have created in order to find a wealth of interconnected tools. There are also curated lists from leaders in the field of Digital Humanities. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> In this version of TAPoR, you can become more engaged in the evaluation and promotion of the tools you use and love. At the bottom of each too page, you can read what other users have had to say about tool, and leave you own comments and reviews. You can add to the knowledge about and classification of tools by adding your own tags. You can also simply vote on a tool, giving it a rating out of five. </span></p>
