Welcome to your training for the Tennessee Electronic Library, Tuesdays with TEL, Mastering Gale Power Search for Public Librarians. My name is Tammi Burke. I'm a senior trainer at Gale, and I'm excited to talk to you about one of our resources, and that is Gale Power Search, that is a cross-search tool that your users that come into your library can use to find information
[00:00:27.000]
Throughout any of our resources. So I'm going to share with you that process.
[00:00:32.000]
They can use as many or as few resources as they want to cross search through and can be very specific with their searching. And I will be modeling that for you, but before I do, I want to give you an overview of Gale Power Search so you understand which resources it will search through.
[00:00:50.000]
Then we're going to browse that functionality and content that the power search tool pulls back
[00:00:56.000]
When we put in a search term. Any questions that you have, please feel free to use that Q&A box.
[00:01:02.000]
I'll also share with you where you can go for additional support, and that's the Gale support site. Or if you're looking for one-on-one support.
[00:01:10.000]
We have Gale customer success managers and they are there to support you in all things Gale.
[00:01:16.000]
And they would be happy to work with you and talk to you about
[00:01:19.000]
Your usage reports, or maybe you want to walk through the Gale support site. They can help with all of that. Talk to you about access and so much more. And I'll share their information at the end of today's training. Plus, it will also be included in the follow-up email.
[00:01:34.000]
email address that you can reach out to them directly.
[00:01:39.000]
To access your TEL resources, you can go directly to the TEL site. The link is here. It is a great site. The first page has great information.
[00:01:49.000]
For you all, so it's good to check back often and then you can access any of your TEL resources.
[00:01:55.000]
through this link. If you would like to use your own direct URLs, we have that access information also lives on this TEL site. You'll see the ability to grab that information if you look under
[00:02:09.000]
Let me look real quick. I always forget library staff.
[00:02:13.000]
You'll find the tell link generator there so you can grab your direct URLs for your resources, including your Gale resources that we're going to be talking about today.
[00:02:26.000]
So first, let's talk about Gale Power Search. So you're familiar with the resource.
[00:02:30.000]
What is Gale Power Search? Well, it's a cross-search platform for your Gale resources.
[00:02:37.000]
Cross search content from select products. So select scale products and that means all of our Gale One file periodicals you can cross search through are in context resources and our Gale ebooks. And you can see a picture here.
[00:02:52.000]
One file in context and Gale ebooks.
[00:02:55.000]
And what it does is it brings multiple Gale resources into one resource. It saves time.
[00:03:01.000]
You can select your power search mix of resources. So maybe I only want a few of the one file resources and maybe just high school and college of the end context and all of my ebook collection. I can do that.
[00:03:15.000]
You can also, this can be used as one singular resource to search through all of that content at once.
[00:03:22.000]
By selecting all, I can search through everything at one time.
[00:03:29.000]
A few tools I want you to keep in mind as we're talking about this resource, and I'll pull in some of these as we're talking about Gale Power Search.
[00:03:37.000]
To share content, you have the GitLink tool.
[00:03:40.000]
what that's available to share any content within the resource, including your search results.
[00:03:46.000]
You can share directly to Google Classroom from Gale Power Search, and you can also send content directly
[00:03:53.000]
to your Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.
[00:03:58.000]
We have great tools to support accessibility, translate, font size, listen, and display options, all to meet the varying needs of your users.
[00:04:07.000]
To encourage analysis, we have the highlights and notes feature. It promotes that deeper learning with color coding and annotation.
[00:04:15.000]
And then to develop those or continue to develop those research skills, we have topic pages on our in-context resources, also in
[00:04:24.000]
Galel general one file and Galel Academic One File. You'll find topic pages
[00:04:30.000]
or the ability to browse by subject or discipline, I should say, to
[00:04:35.000]
curated content. And that's what our topic pages are. They're curated content
[00:04:40.000]
that pulls together information either based on usage or we take a look at curriculum standards
[00:04:48.000]
We hear from you all what is trending and we create those topic pages by our subject matter experts and our content editors. They create them. And then Topic Finder is a search option that you have available. It's a visual
[00:05:03.000]
interactive tool that you can use to search through content.
[00:05:08.000]
And then our citation tool is available. You have multiple formats.
[00:05:11.000]
to cite your resources and also multiple ways to export that citation. Of course, citations are attached to every document, image, video, anything within your Gale resources.
[00:05:22.000]
the citation is already attached, but we have the tool separate. If you would just like the citation.
[00:05:30.000]
All right, with that, let's jump into our resource and
[00:05:35.000]
Again, we're going directly into Gale Power Search. If you have any questions, please feel free to.
[00:05:42.000]
Ask in the Q&A box
[00:05:46.000]
So Gale power search
[00:05:48.000]
Make sure, there we go. Gale power search.
[00:05:51.000]
As you can see at the top.
[00:05:53.000]
looks very similar to your other Gale resources. You have your basic search and your advanced search here at the top.
[00:06:00.000]
You have the ability to sign in with Google or Microsoft.
[00:06:03.000]
I can also post information directly to my Google Classroom.
[00:06:08.000]
And also I can translate the navigational tools on the page into over 34 languages.
[00:06:16.000]
My contextual toolbar is in the same spot. I have that ability to look at the title list, the search history, which is session based. I have my GitLink tool and also highlights and notes are all there. And my toolbar will change depending on where I'm at within the resource and what tools I need.
[00:06:34.000]
Now below, this is where you can select the resources you want to search through.
[00:06:39.000]
Let me talk to you a little bit about some of these one file periodical resources that you have available. As you can see.
[00:06:46.000]
Quite a long list of resources and some are very specific. For example, Gale One File US History or Gale One File Nursing and Allied Health.
[00:06:56.000]
But you have some larger sets of content, of periodical content and that those are Gale Academic One file.
[00:07:05.000]
Gale general one file and then the third or the like we like to call these the big three so academic one file, general one file, and one file news.
[00:07:15.000]
So maybe you have users that might want to search through just those three publications to pull back content.
[00:07:21.000]
But you also have a few others to make note of. You have Gale1 file high school edition. This is a great periodical resource
[00:07:29.000]
for our high school students. And then you also have Galel one file and for my academico. The periodical publications here are Spanish and Portuguese publications.
[00:07:40.000]
So that's another one that's always great to highlight.
[00:07:44.000]
To the right, we have in-context resources, and these are the four resources
[00:07:49.000]
that you have. You also have Gale In Context Elementary and Gale In Context Middle School. They are not included in the power search cross search tool because
[00:07:59.000]
those students at that level, we want to make sure that they are accessing content that's appropriate for them, their age, not just their age, but their reading level. So Gale In Context Elementary, those students would access
[00:08:13.000]
those kindergarten through fifth grade students would just access scale and context elementary and then our middle schoolers six through eighth grade would access Gale In Context Middle School and just do that singular search or use any of our search options like topic finder or using our topic pages in those two resources so they stay in their place where they can find that content. Again.
[00:08:38.000]
It's more at their age and reading level. Where here you have Gale In Context College, environmental studies, high school and opposing viewpoints. So you can cross search through your in-context resources all at one time.
[00:08:54.000]
And then ebook collection. And this will be dependent on the ebooks that you have. So you have
[00:09:00.000]
A selection of ebooks available from the Tennessee Electronic Library you may have in your own library additional ebooks
[00:09:06.000]
Once I select Gale ebooks, it will cross search through all
[00:09:10.000]
of those titles at one time.
[00:09:13.000]
Along with what other…
[00:09:15.000]
What any other resources that I've selected here.
[00:09:18.000]
So it's a nice way to pull all of these resources together and cross search through everything at once.
[00:09:25.000]
Now, I am going to remove
[00:09:28.000]
But let me show you before I do, I can select all databases right here at the top.
[00:09:35.000]
And this then will cross search through everything at once
[00:09:40.000]
Or I can deselect and just do
[00:09:45.000]
Let's just do the big three.
[00:09:47.000]
for our periodical
[00:09:49.000]
and are in context, let's do high school and well
[00:09:54.000]
I do want to do environmental studies.
[00:09:56.000]
And then select our ebooks.
[00:10:00.000]
Now, at this point, when I facilitate my basic search.
[00:10:04.000]
It is only going to search through these databases that I selected.
[00:10:10.000]
So let's do that. Let's do a quick search on
[00:10:15.000]
global warming.
[00:10:23.000]
And it does pull everything in. So you can see here the databases.
[00:10:28.000]
that I'm cross searching through. If I had selected all, then I would see that big list of all those databases in this box.
[00:10:35.000]
But it takes me right into magazines.
[00:10:38.000]
But I have in my results magazines, essential overviews, academic journals, books, news, images, videos, and audio files are all available on the topic of global warming.
[00:10:50.000]
At this point, I could scroll through each, take a look at the top most relevant articles for each of those content types if I wanted to.
[00:11:00.000]
I could sort by
[00:11:02.000]
newest or oldest?
[00:11:05.000]
Depending on my topic.
[00:11:07.000]
I also have a lot of options to filter my results.
[00:11:10.000]
So I can filter by publication date.
[00:11:14.000]
And I have a range I can put in or past week, past month, past year.
[00:11:20.000]
I can filter by subject.
[00:11:25.000]
by document type. And you can see I can search. I can also multi-select.
[00:11:34.000]
publication titles. So if there's a certain publication title
[00:11:38.000]
that you have users that are utilizing a lot at your library or you have
[00:11:42.000]
Users coming in to ask or faculty members that are interested, then be sure to check out and see what titles we do have available.
[00:11:50.000]
I have Lexile measure.
[00:11:53.000]
And then that ability to search within.
[00:11:57.000]
I also can filter down to the full text documents.
[00:12:01.000]
And if I want the document to contain images or not.
[00:12:04.000]
I also have Topic Finder here. So right now I have a list of all of my content that was pulled back from my basic search.
[00:12:13.000]
But if I wanted more of that visual, I can select topic finder and it'll bring in all of this content into
[00:12:23.000]
this nice tiled
[00:12:26.000]
grid that I have here.
[00:12:28.000]
There we go. And I have two visualization options. I have tiles or wheel.
[00:12:36.000]
It's completely up to the user which they prefer.
[00:12:40.000]
The larger the tile, the deeper the color, the more information we have under that subject. So air pollution for global warming, because we're still here, as you can see.
[00:12:50.000]
Our search terms global warming, and then it lists all the databases that I cross search through
[00:12:55.000]
My results, I have 39 different results on the right-hand side for air pollution
[00:13:00.000]
And I can drill down a little bit further and maybe I'm looking for air pollution and greenhouse gases, and it takes me to three different documents.
[00:13:10.000]
So it's interactive, it's visual.
[00:13:13.000]
And it's a great way to pull in that content into your search results.
[00:13:20.000]
Now, if I wanted to kick off my search using Topic Finder.
[00:13:24.000]
From the homepage, I will find it at the bottom or it always lives under advanced search. You'll see it here at the end, topic finder.
[00:13:36.000]
And I'll show you on the homepage in a moment, but I don't want to lose my
[00:13:39.000]
search results.
[00:13:42.000]
Okay, because I want to point out one more thing.
[00:13:46.000]
With this resource.
[00:13:48.000]
As in your one file periodical resources, you can actually create search alerts. So with this cross search tool, if you have researchers coming into your library, you have users coming into your library.
[00:14:01.000]
Looking for information on a certain topic or
[00:14:04.000]
For example, the election is coming up and they want any new information delivered directly to their inbox. PowerSearch is a great way to do that because you are getting the one file periodical, but you're also getting your in context resources. And you can see here below, I'm in magazines, so I would expect to see a lot of these coming from
[00:14:27.000]
our one file periodical content, any of those resources, I'm seeing general one file here at the top.
[00:14:33.000]
academic journals.
[00:14:36.000]
I'm going to see more of those coming from Gale Academic One file.
[00:14:40.000]
And then I might get my rich multimedia. I mean, I will still find magazines, news, academic journals in our in-context resources, but our multimedia, a lot of our multimedia will be coming more from the in context resources, as you can see here, Gale In Context High School.
[00:14:58.000]
But the beauty of this is with this power search, scale power search cross search tool, is that I can create a search alert.
[00:15:06.000]
Where it'll pull all of this content from all of these resources
[00:15:10.000]
into an alert that I can set up
[00:15:13.000]
to be emailed to me?
[00:15:15.000]
Or, and I can choose how often, what format I would like it in.
[00:15:23.000]
Or I can have an RSS feed. So you might have i have this
[00:15:28.000]
In my browser, where I have an RSS feed and all I do is grab this code
[00:15:33.000]
and put it into my RSS feed.
[00:15:35.000]
And then every time new information, I see a little alert.
[00:15:39.000]
on my screen in my browser, and I can go directly to and sort through that content. So it's really easy to do and add into that
[00:15:48.000]
RSS feed if that's something you're doing.
[00:15:51.000]
are using or your users are using.
[00:15:54.000]
But you can see where the content is coming from and again
[00:15:57.000]
create that search alert.
[00:16:00.000]
I can filter this content down further. Maybe I'm interested in a certain subject, sub-subject, I should say. So we did global warming. Maybe I'm interested in global warming and climate change.
[00:16:13.000]
And you could see it filtered that content down, all of it, not just the videos, but also the magazines.
[00:16:19.000]
the overviews, the academic journals, books, news, and images.
[00:16:23.000]
I can now create
[00:16:25.000]
a search alert that will pull in
[00:16:28.000]
content for me from a global warming
[00:16:31.000]
From these databases and climate change.
[00:16:35.000]
So you can really get very specific in what's being delivered to your inbox or your RSS feed.
[00:16:42.000]
And it's a great tool in addition to cross searching through everything at once, but creating those alerts is another great opportunity within Gale Power Search.
[00:16:52.000]
Let me know if you have any questions.
[00:16:55.000]
quite straightforward you're
[00:16:58.000]
Creating a basic search or doing an advanced search and you're selecting the resources you want to cross search through. So again, from the home page.
[00:17:08.000]
I have that ability to select any of these resources
[00:17:12.000]
And it is, I will say, I'm using Tel's account
[00:17:15.000]
their individual location account and they have something set up to where
[00:17:20.000]
It is searching through particular databases. So that's why when I went back to my homepage, these same resources were selected as when I first logged in.
[00:17:32.000]
So that's why you're seeing that and they're not all selected. When you select your account, you may see that nothing is selected or maybe they're all selected. It just depends on
[00:17:42.000]
your own account.
[00:17:43.000]
You have, I had mentioned topic finder being on the homepage. Here it is at the bottom. I also have the subject guide search and publication search.
[00:17:52.000]
Similar to what we have on the home page of our one file periodicals.
[00:17:57.000]
But again, these all are search options that live under advanced search. So you'll always find them here.
[00:18:05.000]
And I can…
[00:18:07.000]
use those different search options to find content.
[00:18:12.000]
Okay. And again, I've selected on that homepage the resources I want to use.
[00:18:18.000]
So let's do this again.
[00:18:20.000]
Remove these two.
[00:18:23.000]
go to advanced search.
[00:18:25.000]
And maybe this time we want to look at
[00:18:32.000]
artificial intelligence.
[00:18:34.000]
Hey, eyes, a hot topic.
[00:18:40.000]
And it pulls back all of that content for me. And again, I can see, so we're in magazines.
[00:18:45.000]
A lot of those are coming from Gale General One File, but here's one from
[00:18:49.000]
One file business so
[00:18:52.000]
What it did, I don't think I selected one file business. Maybe I did accidentally.
[00:19:00.000]
It may have pulled in all of my
[00:19:03.000]
databases at once. When I did that advanced search.
[00:19:07.000]
I feel like I would have more here though.
[00:19:10.000]
I might have accidentally selected that one.
[00:19:12.000]
But you can see what databases it's coming from, academic journals again
[00:19:19.000]
primarily will be in that academic one file, but with this topic, we're seeing a lot coming from general one file
[00:19:30.000]
our books
[00:19:32.000]
We're getting a bit of high school opposing viewpoints.
[00:19:37.000]
High school edition is here.
[00:19:40.000]
So we're going to see a little bit more of the in context there.
[00:19:46.000]
And then the…
[00:19:48.000]
I would find some ebooks and then same news, images, videos, audio, you get the idea right pretty
[00:19:55.000]
Pretty self-explanatory. Now, if I wanted to share this content
[00:19:59.000]
I could very easily use my GitLink tool
[00:20:02.000]
which provides a persistent URL back to this exact spot. And you are going to see because I'm cross searching through so many databases.
[00:20:10.000]
It is going to pull all of that into that link. So you can see it's quite a long link.
[00:20:18.000]
And I believe I'm
[00:20:20.000]
I think what's happening here is
[00:20:23.000]
Yeah, it's selecting everything when I do an advanced search so
[00:20:28.000]
I…
[00:20:30.000]
That's one thing to note. So if you are
[00:20:35.000]
If you only want certain databases.
[00:20:39.000]
then using your basic search and selecting those databases here.
[00:20:44.000]
I always thought that if I used advanced search, it would still keep those limiters in place, but it's not what I'm seeing in my results. So I may have to ask
[00:20:53.000]
our product team a little bit more about that.
[00:20:55.000]
As to why.
[00:20:58.000]
I am not seeing it that way. So I was always under that impression that if whatever I selected here, that's all it would cross search through. But let's do a quick test.
[00:21:07.000]
Yeah, I did not select one file business and it showed up in my results.
[00:21:12.000]
Let's just do
[00:21:14.000]
Let's see what happens. Let's test it out.
[00:21:16.000]
See what happens. Let's remove these guys. Okay.
[00:21:25.000]
sick with global warming because we already took a look at that.
[00:21:30.000]
Oh, and also, if you use our search assist, it'll put
[00:21:33.000]
The term in quotation marks. So really helpful tool. And then of course you have different fields you can choose from. I'm just sticking with that keyword.
[00:21:42.000]
But if I wanted to search the entire document or I was looking for a certain subject, I could do that. You can see all the different options that we have here available.
[00:21:52.000]
Let's see what happens.
[00:21:55.000]
with advanced search.
[00:21:58.000]
Yep, one file business. Okay. So interesting.
[00:22:02.000]
I'll have to do a little bit more
[00:22:04.000]
Clarification with our product team as to
[00:22:07.000]
Well, I'm seeing it set up. And it could be too
[00:22:10.000]
Nope, that wouldn't be it either. All right, well…
[00:22:13.000]
Keep that in mind. There's the difference. If you are using advanced search, it will pull in all of that content from all of the databases. If you want to limit
[00:22:23.000]
which databases are being searched through, then please use your basic search from the home page.
[00:22:30.000]
So select which databases you're interested in.
[00:22:33.000]
And use your basic search.
[00:22:37.000]
But I will ask more questions of our product team.
[00:22:40.000]
Okay, let me know if you have any questions. We are right towards the end of our time.
[00:22:46.000]
We talked about
[00:22:48.000]
advanced search a little bit here, but you do also have your subject guide search.
[00:22:53.000]
And your publication search. These are similar to your other Gale resources.
[00:22:58.000]
What you really need to walk away with knowing here is that with power search.
[00:23:02.000]
You can cross search through multiple databases or all of your databases at one time, if that's what you choose to do. And then you can also create those search alerts or
[00:23:14.000]
share that information using GitLink or Google Classroom. And just like your other resources, and let me do a quick search again on global warming.
[00:23:27.000]
At the document level, you have all of the same tools and features. These are the same types of documents that you would find
[00:23:35.000]
In your other, obviously they're coming from
[00:23:38.000]
This one's from General One File.
[00:23:41.000]
But we have all of our same tools to support accessibility. Our quick send options, our explore panel, our interlinking, and the beauty of this interlinking is
[00:23:52.000]
you have all these databases that you can find those related articles in here.
[00:23:57.000]
Great interlinking that's available to look through all of those one file periodicals or maybe your ebooks.
[00:24:04.000]
It'll pull in that content.
[00:24:09.000]
Okay, I haven't had any questions come through, so let me jump back to
[00:24:14.000]
My PowerPoint.
[00:24:21.000]
where you can go for additional support, we have a support site that we've created for the Tennessee Electronic Library. You will also find your access URLs here on this site. You just need to find your library name.
[00:24:33.000]
From the dropdown menu, this is also where we post all of our training materials, including upcoming TEL specific training.
[00:24:41.000]
training webinars. Also, I just created this gal gal
[00:24:47.000]
This Gale training toolkit
[00:24:49.000]
For the Tennessee Electronic Library, it's a great click sheet
[00:24:52.000]
to get you started so
[00:24:55.000]
talks to you about the Gale support site.
[00:24:59.000]
Go back. The Telgale support site, how to access this type of content, getting started. So the basics, reaching your users. Here's some marketing materials, where you can go for additional support.
[00:25:11.000]
So this is a new toolkit that we just added and it does live on the support site. You'll see it under toolkits.
[00:25:17.000]
When you go to this link here.
[00:25:19.000]
just go to the toolkits and it's listed there on the training center.
[00:25:24.000]
You'll also find materials like video tutorials or marketing materials, escape rooms, all available on the Gale support site.
[00:25:37.000]
And then again, my name is Tammi Burke. I'm a senior trainer at Gale, and I thank you so much for your time today.
[00:25:44.000]
If you would like to take time out to take the survey, you can either use the QR code or when you leave me, if you click continue.
[00:25:51.000]
It will take you directly into our survey so you can answer those questions. I do share that information internally and also with our awesome administrator at TEL.
[00:26:02.000]
And so I share that information with her. It is anonymous. So even if you're looking for, you know, it'd be great to have training on
[00:26:11.000]
this scale product or this type of topic, let me know in the comments. I share that information
[00:26:17.000]
Like I said, with our contact at TEL, and we are always looking for new ideas and we want to make sure you get the most out of these resources. So please feel free to share that information too.
[00:26:28.000]
But I thank you all for your time today, and I hope you have a great rest of your day.
[00:26:33.000]
Have fun using PowerSearch and cross searching through multiple databases at once.
[00:26:38.000]
Thanks, everyone.
Welcome to your training for the Tennessee Electronic Library, Tuesdays with TEL, Mastering Gale Power Search for Public Librarians. My name is Tammi Burke. I'm a senior trainer at Gale, and I'm excited to talk to you about one of our resources, and that is Gale Power Search, that is a cross-search tool that your users that come into your library can use to find information
[00:00:27.000]
Throughout any of our resources. So I'm going to share with you that process.
[00:00:32.000]
They can use as many or as few resources as they want to cross search through and can be very specific with their searching. And I will be modeling that for you, but before I do, I want to give you an overview of Gale Power Search so you understand which resources it will search through.
[00:00:50.000]
Then we're going to browse that functionality and content that the power search tool pulls back
[00:00:56.000]
When we put in a search term. Any questions that you have, please feel free to use that Q&A box.
[00:01:02.000]
I'll also share with you where you can go for additional support, and that's the Gale support site. Or if you're looking for one-on-one support.
[00:01:10.000]
We have Gale customer success managers and they are there to support you in all things Gale.
[00:01:16.000]
And they would be happy to work with you and talk to you about
[00:01:19.000]
Your usage reports, or maybe you want to walk through the Gale support site. They can help with all of that. Talk to you about access and so much more. And I'll share their information at the end of today's training. Plus, it will also be included in the follow-up email.
[00:01:34.000]
email address that you can reach out to them directly.
[00:01:39.000]
To access your TEL resources, you can go directly to the TEL site. The link is here. It is a great site. The first page has great information.
[00:01:49.000]
For you all, so it's good to check back often and then you can access any of your TEL resources.
[00:01:55.000]
through this link. If you would like to use your own direct URLs, we have that access information also lives on this TEL site. You'll see the ability to grab that information if you look under
[00:02:09.000]
Let me look real quick. I always forget library staff.
[00:02:13.000]
You'll find the tell link generator there so you can grab your direct URLs for your resources, including your Gale resources that we're going to be talking about today.
[00:02:26.000]
So first, let's talk about Gale Power Search. So you're familiar with the resource.
[00:02:30.000]
What is Gale Power Search? Well, it's a cross-search platform for your Gale resources.
[00:02:37.000]
Cross search content from select products. So select scale products and that means all of our Gale One file periodicals you can cross search through are in context resources and our Gale ebooks. And you can see a picture here.
[00:02:52.000]
One file in context and Gale ebooks.
[00:02:55.000]
And what it does is it brings multiple Gale resources into one resource. It saves time.
[00:03:01.000]
You can select your power search mix of resources. So maybe I only want a few of the one file resources and maybe just high school and college of the end context and all of my ebook collection. I can do that.
[00:03:15.000]
You can also, this can be used as one singular resource to search through all of that content at once.
[00:03:22.000]
By selecting all, I can search through everything at one time.
[00:03:29.000]
A few tools I want you to keep in mind as we're talking about this resource, and I'll pull in some of these as we're talking about Gale Power Search.
[00:03:37.000]
To share content, you have the GitLink tool.
[00:03:40.000]
what that's available to share any content within the resource, including your search results.
[00:03:46.000]
You can share directly to Google Classroom from Gale Power Search, and you can also send content directly
[00:03:53.000]
to your Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.
[00:03:58.000]
We have great tools to support accessibility, translate, font size, listen, and display options, all to meet the varying needs of your users.
[00:04:07.000]
To encourage analysis, we have the highlights and notes feature. It promotes that deeper learning with color coding and annotation.
[00:04:15.000]
And then to develop those or continue to develop those research skills, we have topic pages on our in-context resources, also in
[00:04:24.000]
Galel general one file and Galel Academic One File. You'll find topic pages
[00:04:30.000]
or the ability to browse by subject or discipline, I should say, to
[00:04:35.000]
curated content. And that's what our topic pages are. They're curated content
[00:04:40.000]
that pulls together information either based on usage or we take a look at curriculum standards
[00:04:48.000]
We hear from you all what is trending and we create those topic pages by our subject matter experts and our content editors. They create them. And then Topic Finder is a search option that you have available. It's a visual
[00:05:03.000]
interactive tool that you can use to search through content.
[00:05:08.000]
And then our citation tool is available. You have multiple formats.
[00:05:11.000]
to cite your resources and also multiple ways to export that citation. Of course, citations are attached to every document, image, video, anything within your Gale resources.
[00:05:22.000]
the citation is already attached, but we have the tool separate. If you would just like the citation.
[00:05:30.000]
All right, with that, let's jump into our resource and
[00:05:35.000]
Again, we're going directly into Gale Power Search. If you have any questions, please feel free to.
[00:05:42.000]
Ask in the Q&A box
[00:05:46.000]
So Gale power search
[00:05:48.000]
Make sure, there we go. Gale power search.
[00:05:51.000]
As you can see at the top.
[00:05:53.000]
looks very similar to your other Gale resources. You have your basic search and your advanced search here at the top.
[00:06:00.000]
You have the ability to sign in with Google or Microsoft.
[00:06:03.000]
I can also post information directly to my Google Classroom.
[00:06:08.000]
And also I can translate the navigational tools on the page into over 34 languages.
[00:06:16.000]
My contextual toolbar is in the same spot. I have that ability to look at the title list, the search history, which is session based. I have my GitLink tool and also highlights and notes are all there. And my toolbar will change depending on where I'm at within the resource and what tools I need.
[00:06:34.000]
Now below, this is where you can select the resources you want to search through.
[00:06:39.000]
Let me talk to you a little bit about some of these one file periodical resources that you have available. As you can see.
[00:06:46.000]
Quite a long list of resources and some are very specific. For example, Gale One File US History or Gale One File Nursing and Allied Health.
[00:06:56.000]
But you have some larger sets of content, of periodical content and that those are Gale Academic One file.
[00:07:05.000]
Gale general one file and then the third or the like we like to call these the big three so academic one file, general one file, and one file news.
[00:07:15.000]
So maybe you have users that might want to search through just those three publications to pull back content.
[00:07:21.000]
But you also have a few others to make note of. You have Gale1 file high school edition. This is a great periodical resource
[00:07:29.000]
for our high school students. And then you also have Galel one file and for my academico. The periodical publications here are Spanish and Portuguese publications.
[00:07:40.000]
So that's another one that's always great to highlight.
[00:07:44.000]
To the right, we have in-context resources, and these are the four resources
[00:07:49.000]
that you have. You also have Gale In Context Elementary and Gale In Context Middle School. They are not included in the power search cross search tool because
[00:07:59.000]
those students at that level, we want to make sure that they are accessing content that's appropriate for them, their age, not just their age, but their reading level. So Gale In Context Elementary, those students would access
[00:08:13.000]
those kindergarten through fifth grade students would just access scale and context elementary and then our middle schoolers six through eighth grade would access Gale In Context Middle School and just do that singular search or use any of our search options like topic finder or using our topic pages in those two resources so they stay in their place where they can find that content. Again.
[00:08:38.000]
It's more at their age and reading level. Where here you have Gale In Context College, environmental studies, high school and opposing viewpoints. So you can cross search through your in-context resources all at one time.
[00:08:54.000]
And then ebook collection. And this will be dependent on the ebooks that you have. So you have
[00:09:00.000]
A selection of ebooks available from the Tennessee Electronic Library you may have in your own library additional ebooks
[00:09:06.000]
Once I select Gale ebooks, it will cross search through all
[00:09:10.000]
of those titles at one time.
[00:09:13.000]
Along with what other…
[00:09:15.000]
What any other resources that I've selected here.
[00:09:18.000]
So it's a nice way to pull all of these resources together and cross search through everything at once.
[00:09:25.000]
Now, I am going to remove
[00:09:28.000]
But let me show you before I do, I can select all databases right here at the top.
[00:09:35.000]
And this then will cross search through everything at once
[00:09:40.000]
Or I can deselect and just do
[00:09:45.000]
Let's just do the big three.
[00:09:47.000]
for our periodical
[00:09:49.000]
and are in context, let's do high school and well
[00:09:54.000]
I do want to do environmental studies.
[00:09:56.000]
And then select our ebooks.
[00:10:00.000]
Now, at this point, when I facilitate my basic search.
[00:10:04.000]
It is only going to search through these databases that I selected.
[00:10:10.000]
So let's do that. Let's do a quick search on
[00:10:15.000]
global warming.
[00:10:23.000]
And it does pull everything in. So you can see here the databases.
[00:10:28.000]
that I'm cross searching through. If I had selected all, then I would see that big list of all those databases in this box.
[00:10:35.000]
But it takes me right into magazines.
[00:10:38.000]
But I have in my results magazines, essential overviews, academic journals, books, news, images, videos, and audio files are all available on the topic of global warming.
[00:10:50.000]
At this point, I could scroll through each, take a look at the top most relevant articles for each of those content types if I wanted to.
[00:11:00.000]
I could sort by
[00:11:02.000]
newest or oldest?
[00:11:05.000]
Depending on my topic.
[00:11:07.000]
I also have a lot of options to filter my results.
[00:11:10.000]
So I can filter by publication date.
[00:11:14.000]
And I have a range I can put in or past week, past month, past year.
[00:11:20.000]
I can filter by subject.
[00:11:25.000]
by document type. And you can see I can search. I can also multi-select.
[00:11:34.000]
publication titles. So if there's a certain publication title
[00:11:38.000]
that you have users that are utilizing a lot at your library or you have
[00:11:42.000]
Users coming in to ask or faculty members that are interested, then be sure to check out and see what titles we do have available.
[00:11:50.000]
I have Lexile measure.
[00:11:53.000]
And then that ability to search within.
[00:11:57.000]
I also can filter down to the full text documents.
[00:12:01.000]
And if I want the document to contain images or not.
[00:12:04.000]
I also have Topic Finder here. So right now I have a list of all of my content that was pulled back from my basic search.
[00:12:13.000]
But if I wanted more of that visual, I can select topic finder and it'll bring in all of this content into
[00:12:23.000]
this nice tiled
[00:12:26.000]
grid that I have here.
[00:12:28.000]
There we go. And I have two visualization options. I have tiles or wheel.
[00:12:36.000]
It's completely up to the user which they prefer.
[00:12:40.000]
The larger the tile, the deeper the color, the more information we have under that subject. So air pollution for global warming, because we're still here, as you can see.
[00:12:50.000]
Our search terms global warming, and then it lists all the databases that I cross search through
[00:12:55.000]
My results, I have 39 different results on the right-hand side for air pollution
[00:13:00.000]
And I can drill down a little bit further and maybe I'm looking for air pollution and greenhouse gases, and it takes me to three different documents.
[00:13:10.000]
So it's interactive, it's visual.
[00:13:13.000]
And it's a great way to pull in that content into your search results.
[00:13:20.000]
Now, if I wanted to kick off my search using Topic Finder.
[00:13:24.000]
From the homepage, I will find it at the bottom or it always lives under advanced search. You'll see it here at the end, topic finder.
[00:13:36.000]
And I'll show you on the homepage in a moment, but I don't want to lose my
[00:13:39.000]
search results.
[00:13:42.000]
Okay, because I want to point out one more thing.
[00:13:46.000]
With this resource.
[00:13:48.000]
As in your one file periodical resources, you can actually create search alerts. So with this cross search tool, if you have researchers coming into your library, you have users coming into your library.
[00:14:01.000]
Looking for information on a certain topic or
[00:14:04.000]
For example, the election is coming up and they want any new information delivered directly to their inbox. PowerSearch is a great way to do that because you are getting the one file periodical, but you're also getting your in context resources. And you can see here below, I'm in magazines, so I would expect to see a lot of these coming from
[00:14:27.000]
our one file periodical content, any of those resources, I'm seeing general one file here at the top.
[00:14:33.000]
academic journals.
[00:14:36.000]
I'm going to see more of those coming from Gale Academic One file.
[00:14:40.000]
And then I might get my rich multimedia. I mean, I will still find magazines, news, academic journals in our in-context resources, but our multimedia, a lot of our multimedia will be coming more from the in context resources, as you can see here, Gale In Context High School.
[00:14:58.000]
But the beauty of this is with this power search, scale power search cross search tool, is that I can create a search alert.
[00:15:06.000]
Where it'll pull all of this content from all of these resources
[00:15:10.000]
into an alert that I can set up
[00:15:13.000]
to be emailed to me?
[00:15:15.000]
Or, and I can choose how often, what format I would like it in.
[00:15:23.000]
Or I can have an RSS feed. So you might have i have this
[00:15:28.000]
In my browser, where I have an RSS feed and all I do is grab this code
[00:15:33.000]
and put it into my RSS feed.
[00:15:35.000]
And then every time new information, I see a little alert.
[00:15:39.000]
on my screen in my browser, and I can go directly to and sort through that content. So it's really easy to do and add into that
[00:15:48.000]
RSS feed if that's something you're doing.
[00:15:51.000]
are using or your users are using.
[00:15:54.000]
But you can see where the content is coming from and again
[00:15:57.000]
create that search alert.
[00:16:00.000]
I can filter this content down further. Maybe I'm interested in a certain subject, sub-subject, I should say. So we did global warming. Maybe I'm interested in global warming and climate change.
[00:16:13.000]
And you could see it filtered that content down, all of it, not just the videos, but also the magazines.
[00:16:19.000]
the overviews, the academic journals, books, news, and images.
[00:16:23.000]
I can now create
[00:16:25.000]
a search alert that will pull in
[00:16:28.000]
content for me from a global warming
[00:16:31.000]
From these databases and climate change.
[00:16:35.000]
So you can really get very specific in what's being delivered to your inbox or your RSS feed.
[00:16:42.000]
And it's a great tool in addition to cross searching through everything at once, but creating those alerts is another great opportunity within Gale Power Search.
[00:16:52.000]
Let me know if you have any questions.
[00:16:55.000]
quite straightforward you're
[00:16:58.000]
Creating a basic search or doing an advanced search and you're selecting the resources you want to cross search through. So again, from the home page.
[00:17:08.000]
I have that ability to select any of these resources
[00:17:12.000]
And it is, I will say, I'm using Tel's account
[00:17:15.000]
their individual location account and they have something set up to where
[00:17:20.000]
It is searching through particular databases. So that's why when I went back to my homepage, these same resources were selected as when I first logged in.
[00:17:32.000]
So that's why you're seeing that and they're not all selected. When you select your account, you may see that nothing is selected or maybe they're all selected. It just depends on
[00:17:42.000]
your own account.
[00:17:43.000]
You have, I had mentioned topic finder being on the homepage. Here it is at the bottom. I also have the subject guide search and publication search.
[00:17:52.000]
Similar to what we have on the home page of our one file periodicals.
[00:17:57.000]
But again, these all are search options that live under advanced search. So you'll always find them here.
[00:18:05.000]
And I can…
[00:18:07.000]
use those different search options to find content.
[00:18:12.000]
Okay. And again, I've selected on that homepage the resources I want to use.
[00:18:18.000]
So let's do this again.
[00:18:20.000]
Remove these two.
[00:18:23.000]
go to advanced search.
[00:18:25.000]
And maybe this time we want to look at
[00:18:32.000]
artificial intelligence.
[00:18:34.000]
Hey, eyes, a hot topic.
[00:18:40.000]
And it pulls back all of that content for me. And again, I can see, so we're in magazines.
[00:18:45.000]
A lot of those are coming from Gale General One File, but here's one from
[00:18:49.000]
One file business so
[00:18:52.000]
What it did, I don't think I selected one file business. Maybe I did accidentally.
[00:19:00.000]
It may have pulled in all of my
[00:19:03.000]
databases at once. When I did that advanced search.
[00:19:07.000]
I feel like I would have more here though.
[00:19:10.000]
I might have accidentally selected that one.
[00:19:12.000]
But you can see what databases it's coming from, academic journals again
[00:19:19.000]
primarily will be in that academic one file, but with this topic, we're seeing a lot coming from general one file
[00:19:30.000]
our books
[00:19:32.000]
We're getting a bit of high school opposing viewpoints.
[00:19:37.000]
High school edition is here.
[00:19:40.000]
So we're going to see a little bit more of the in context there.
[00:19:46.000]
And then the…
[00:19:48.000]
I would find some ebooks and then same news, images, videos, audio, you get the idea right pretty
[00:19:55.000]
Pretty self-explanatory. Now, if I wanted to share this content
[00:19:59.000]
I could very easily use my GitLink tool
[00:20:02.000]
which provides a persistent URL back to this exact spot. And you are going to see because I'm cross searching through so many databases.
[00:20:10.000]
It is going to pull all of that into that link. So you can see it's quite a long link.
[00:20:18.000]
And I believe I'm
[00:20:20.000]
I think what's happening here is
[00:20:23.000]
Yeah, it's selecting everything when I do an advanced search so
[00:20:28.000]
I…
[00:20:30.000]
That's one thing to note. So if you are
[00:20:35.000]
If you only want certain databases.
[00:20:39.000]
then using your basic search and selecting those databases here.
[00:20:44.000]
I always thought that if I used advanced search, it would still keep those limiters in place, but it's not what I'm seeing in my results. So I may have to ask
[00:20:53.000]
our product team a little bit more about that.
[00:20:55.000]
As to why.
[00:20:58.000]
I am not seeing it that way. So I was always under that impression that if whatever I selected here, that's all it would cross search through. But let's do a quick test.
[00:21:07.000]
Yeah, I did not select one file business and it showed up in my results.
[00:21:12.000]
Let's just do
[00:21:14.000]
Let's see what happens. Let's test it out.
[00:21:16.000]
See what happens. Let's remove these guys. Okay.
[00:21:25.000]
sick with global warming because we already took a look at that.
[00:21:30.000]
Oh, and also, if you use our search assist, it'll put
[00:21:33.000]
The term in quotation marks. So really helpful tool. And then of course you have different fields you can choose from. I'm just sticking with that keyword.
[00:21:42.000]
But if I wanted to search the entire document or I was looking for a certain subject, I could do that. You can see all the different options that we have here available.
[00:21:52.000]
Let's see what happens.
[00:21:55.000]
with advanced search.
[00:21:58.000]
Yep, one file business. Okay. So interesting.
[00:22:02.000]
I'll have to do a little bit more
[00:22:04.000]
Clarification with our product team as to
[00:22:07.000]
Well, I'm seeing it set up. And it could be too
[00:22:10.000]
Nope, that wouldn't be it either. All right, well…
[00:22:13.000]
Keep that in mind. There's the difference. If you are using advanced search, it will pull in all of that content from all of the databases. If you want to limit
[00:22:23.000]
which databases are being searched through, then please use your basic search from the home page.
[00:22:30.000]
So select which databases you're interested in.
[00:22:33.000]
And use your basic search.
[00:22:37.000]
But I will ask more questions of our product team.
[00:22:40.000]
Okay, let me know if you have any questions. We are right towards the end of our time.
[00:22:46.000]
We talked about
[00:22:48.000]
advanced search a little bit here, but you do also have your subject guide search.
[00:22:53.000]
And your publication search. These are similar to your other Gale resources.
[00:22:58.000]
What you really need to walk away with knowing here is that with power search.
[00:23:02.000]
You can cross search through multiple databases or all of your databases at one time, if that's what you choose to do. And then you can also create those search alerts or
[00:23:14.000]
share that information using GitLink or Google Classroom. And just like your other resources, and let me do a quick search again on global warming.
[00:23:27.000]
At the document level, you have all of the same tools and features. These are the same types of documents that you would find
[00:23:35.000]
In your other, obviously they're coming from
[00:23:38.000]
This one's from General One File.
[00:23:41.000]
But we have all of our same tools to support accessibility. Our quick send options, our explore panel, our interlinking, and the beauty of this interlinking is
[00:23:52.000]
you have all these databases that you can find those related articles in here.
[00:23:57.000]
Great interlinking that's available to look through all of those one file periodicals or maybe your ebooks.
[00:24:04.000]
It'll pull in that content.
[00:24:09.000]
Okay, I haven't had any questions come through, so let me jump back to
[00:24:14.000]
My PowerPoint.
[00:24:21.000]
where you can go for additional support, we have a support site that we've created for the Tennessee Electronic Library. You will also find your access URLs here on this site. You just need to find your library name.
[00:24:33.000]
From the dropdown menu, this is also where we post all of our training materials, including upcoming TEL specific training.
[00:24:41.000]
training webinars. Also, I just created this gal gal
[00:24:47.000]
This Gale training toolkit
[00:24:49.000]
For the Tennessee Electronic Library, it's a great click sheet
[00:24:52.000]
to get you started so
[00:24:55.000]
talks to you about the Gale support site.
[00:24:59.000]
Go back. The Telgale support site, how to access this type of content, getting started. So the basics, reaching your users. Here's some marketing materials, where you can go for additional support.
[00:25:11.000]
So this is a new toolkit that we just added and it does live on the support site. You'll see it under toolkits.
[00:25:17.000]
When you go to this link here.
[00:25:19.000]
just go to the toolkits and it's listed there on the training center.
[00:25:24.000]
You'll also find materials like video tutorials or marketing materials, escape rooms, all available on the Gale support site.
[00:25:37.000]
And then again, my name is Tammi Burke. I'm a senior trainer at Gale, and I thank you so much for your time today.
[00:25:44.000]
If you would like to take time out to take the survey, you can either use the QR code or when you leave me, if you click continue.
[00:25:51.000]
It will take you directly into our survey so you can answer those questions. I do share that information internally and also with our awesome administrator at TEL.
[00:26:02.000]
And so I share that information with her. It is anonymous. So even if you're looking for, you know, it'd be great to have training on
[00:26:11.000]
this scale product or this type of topic, let me know in the comments. I share that information
[00:26:17.000]
Like I said, with our contact at TEL, and we are always looking for new ideas and we want to make sure you get the most out of these resources. So please feel free to share that information too.
[00:26:28.000]
But I thank you all for your time today, and I hope you have a great rest of your day.
[00:26:33.000]
Have fun using PowerSearch and cross searching through multiple databases at once.
[00:26:38.000]
Thanks, everyone.
