Duration: 15 Minutes
[00:00:04.639]
Hello and welcome, everyone. Thank
[00:00:06.660]
you for joining me. My name is Marian Valentine.
[00:00:09.330]
I am your Gale trainer and with
[00:00:11.330]
me is Stacey Knibloe, our
[00:00:13.368]
senior trainer here at Gale.
[00:00:15.589]
To help answer your questions in Q and A.
[00:00:17.609]
We will be covering
[00:00:20.178]
Q and A at the end of our 15 minute
[00:00:22.178]
session as we're going to be moving quickly
[00:00:24.480]
to discover how gale's advanced
[00:00:26.600]
search tools can quickly help you
[00:00:28.609]
get relevant materials to
[00:00:30.699]
the hands of your users in public
[00:00:32.960]
academic and K-12
[00:00:35.289]
libraries.
[00:00:42.140]
In this 15 minute Webinar, we'll learn
[00:00:44.240]
how advanced search can improve reference for
[00:00:46.329]
your patrons, whether it's helping them
[00:00:48.520]
find additional resources or narrow
[00:00:50.899]
down their search terms.
[00:00:53.039]
We'll go live within a gale resource to
[00:00:55.149]
explore advanced search examples
[00:00:57.280]
of how to increase your search results or
[00:00:59.439]
to refine your results by reading
[00:01:01.469]
level, content type, publication
[00:01:04.040]
or subject.
[00:01:05.239]
And we'll finish out with where you can go for additional
[00:01:07.530]
support. This is 15
[00:01:09.620]
minutes. So stay
[00:01:11.750]
with us after the session to find the answers
[00:01:14.200]
to your questions.
[00:01:16.039]
This session is being recorded and
[00:01:18.370]
you will get a copy of the recording tomorrow so you can
[00:01:20.420]
review that as well.
[00:01:28.039]
The best way to learn about advanced search is
[00:01:30.129]
just to go ahead and visit advanced
[00:01:32.200]
search. So I'm going to
[00:01:34.140]
show you my screen. You can use
[00:01:36.140]
advanced search on almost all of your Gale
[00:01:38.519]
products and that's going to include Gale in context
[00:01:41.098]
ebooks, Onefile periodicals, and primary sources.
[00:01:43.468]
Almost every Gale resource.
[00:01:45.640]
We're going to start off with an example
[00:01:47.680]
of Gale In Context High School.
[00:01:56.000]
We've got a basic search here at the top
[00:01:58.209]
(most of our students start
[00:02:00.319]
with that). It's very google
[00:02:02.450]
oriented. You can just type in words
[00:02:04.840]
and start your search. But today we're focused
[00:02:07.108]
on advanced search.
[00:02:13.438]
First, a brief overview of the advanced search screen.
[00:02:15.699]
You can use this to look for multiple
[00:02:18.169]
search terms or
[00:02:20.288]
to look for a specific subject. It's
[00:02:22.478]
going to default to terms you're
[00:02:24.530]
searching for in the keyword field.
[00:02:26.699]
So looking at major descriptor fields,
[00:02:28.740]
but perhaps you want it to be the subject
[00:02:31.639]
of
[00:02:32.740]
your resource
[00:02:34.340]
or you're searching for something that's really difficult
[00:02:36.550]
to find information on. You want to can search
[00:02:38.759]
for a term within the entire document. There are
[00:02:40.810]
lots of different fields to choose from,
[00:02:43.180]
including the name of the work,
[00:02:45.668]
if you're doing a literature
[00:02:47.978]
search. Search fields can help narrow to what
[00:02:50.438]
the article is about, maybe
[00:02:52.628]
it's *about* a person or maybe it's content *by* a specific
[00:02:55.079]
person you want to look up.
[00:02:56.538]
Lots of different options with fields. You've got
[00:02:58.750]
your AND OR NOT Boolean operators.
[00:03:01.740]
If you're not familiar with those, you can see
[00:03:03.818]
some examples with the search tips below.
[00:03:07.840]
This (AND NOT) is going to make it so that you can get even
[00:03:09.938]
more specific with your search results.
[00:03:12.000]
Or you can use OR
[00:03:14.250]
to widen your search and look for synonyms
[00:03:17.038]
and similar terms.
[00:03:20.340]
You've got unique limiters
[00:03:22.038]
underneath those advanced search fields.
[00:03:24.300]
This is going to help you narrow down your search
[00:03:26.460]
even more. So we're looking at full-text documents.
[00:03:29.139]
We could uncheck full-text and choose to look at citations as
[00:03:31.280]
well. We could narrow to peer
[00:03:33.490]
reviewed journal articles
[00:03:35.538]
for college or GT
[00:03:37.538]
students,
[00:03:38.538]
scholars, or professional development articles.
[00:03:40.800]
We can narrow
[00:03:42.978]
by the publication date.
[00:03:44.938]
So if we're looking for recent medical information or
[00:03:47.158]
we're looking for the latest news. This can be very
[00:03:49.378]
helpful.
[00:03:51.438]
I love these 'content type' boxes
[00:03:53.530]
and I'll show you an example of a search later.
[00:03:55.949]
But this is a quick, easy way to get
[00:03:57.990]
to specific 'content type' and you
[00:04:00.008]
don't even need a search term to search by 'content type'.
[00:04:04.530]
Below that, by 'document type'
[00:04:08.840]
is going to let you get very specific.
[00:04:11.038]
So if I'm looking for a science experiment,
[00:04:13.938]
I can look for that type of document.
[00:04:16.838]
Each one of these limiters is going to have a little information
[00:04:19.069]
tab that will tell you more about
[00:04:21.838]
the particular type of search we're doing.
[00:04:23.860]
So don't feel like you have to memorize all of it
[00:04:25.949]
right now.
[00:04:27.139]
And if you're a teacher or if you
[00:04:29.139]
are in public libraries and you have younger
[00:04:31.149]
users,
[00:04:32.040]
the 'content levels'
[00:04:33.740]
are going to make it easy to get to
[00:04:35.750]
particular Lexile levels, particular
[00:04:38.088]
reading levels, that work with your
[00:04:40.209]
students or young adults.
[00:04:42.939]
These do line up to the lexile
[00:04:44.959]
levels, but an easy way to
[00:04:47.050]
see these is: one and two is elementary reading level,
[00:04:49.300]
three is going to be middle school, four for high
[00:04:51.399]
school and five above
[00:04:53.409]
that high school reading level.
[00:04:54.338]
So I'm searching Gale In context
[00:04:56.420]
high school, we'll show you some 'content level' searches later,
[00:04:58.920]
but we'll start with an advanced search and
[00:05:00.990]
how you can use terms and fields to get to specific
[00:05:03.160]
results. I'm going
[00:05:06.480]
to change this field back to keyword and
[00:05:08.639]
we'll do a before and after (of results).
[00:05:10.639]
If I type in the word 'climate change', you'll
[00:05:12.800]
notice it has auto-predict.
[00:05:15.040]
And that will help me with spelling and
[00:05:17.740]
if I select 'climate change' from here, it's
[00:05:19.819]
also going to put the terms in quotation marks.
[00:05:22.540]
So that's going to look specifically
[00:05:25.009]
for climate followed by change.
[00:05:27.389]
In that order.
[00:05:29.139]
If I do a keyword search on 'climate change,'
[00:05:34.838]
you'll notice that I find a lot of results,
[00:05:37.050]
many different content types.
[00:05:39.139]
I do have the option to filter over here
[00:05:41.230]
on the right. But since we're in advanced
[00:05:43.540]
search, we're going to focus on
[00:05:45.620]
filtering and narrowing results down
[00:05:47.680]
with our advanced search options.
[00:05:51.040]
I can either click 'revise search' right
[00:05:53.100]
here, I can click back in my browser to clear
[00:05:55.939]
my search, but I'm going to go to 'search history'
[00:05:58.199]
in this example because it really helps you see
[00:06:01.139]
the number of results for my search terms.
[00:06:03.579]
So I did a keyword search for 'climate change'
[00:06:06.019]
and I got
[00:06:06.939]
68,000 results.
[00:06:09.740]
I'm going to revise that to narrow it
[00:06:11.769]
down. By 'revising,'
[00:06:15.449]
I've kept my search terms and keyword field search.
[00:06:17.588]
Now I'd like to be more
[00:06:19.730]
specific, I want 'climate change' to
[00:06:21.730]
be the subject
[00:06:23.240]
of my article (not just mentioned)
[00:06:25.439]
and I'm going to add
[00:06:27.500]
a couple of search terms to make it even
[00:06:29.769]
more narrow.
[00:06:30.939]
I'd also like the word pollution to be
[00:06:33.009]
in there and
[00:06:36.480]
I'd like to talk about plastic
[00:06:38.610]
pollution.
[00:06:40.540]
Now you'll notice that auto-predict gives me plastic, plastics, plasticity.
[00:06:44.439]
I can throw in a wildcard here
[00:06:49.139]
So this asterisk
[00:06:51.540]
is going to be considered a wildcard. You can also
[00:06:53.879]
use a question mark or exclamation point.
[00:06:56.290]
It's going to look for everything that starts
[00:06:58.480]
with plastic
[00:06:59.939]
and I would like plastic* to be just somewhere
[00:07:02.028]
in the 'entire document'.
[00:07:03.439]
So I'm searching multiple terms and a couple of different fields
[00:07:05.629]
(subject, keyword, entire document) to narrow my results.
[00:07:11.740]
Now we can see we've gotten very specific,
[00:07:14.240]
we see all of our search terms right here
[00:07:17.040]
and the option to revise.
[00:07:18.838]
I'm looking at the subject of 'climate
[00:07:20.838]
change' with the keyword of pollution
[00:07:22.899]
that mentions plastic in the document.
[00:07:26.040]
Very easy to share out these search
[00:07:28.220]
results
[00:07:29.439]
by going to 'get link'.
[00:07:31.540]
So you don't have to tell your students all the different
[00:07:33.670]
terms you used to get there, you can just
[00:07:35.740]
use 'get link' to share your results.
[00:07:39.740]
And if we look at my 'search history', you can see,
[00:07:41.920]
I went from 68,000 results
[00:07:44.139]
to 83 very specific
[00:07:46.329]
results. I'll go ahead
[00:07:48.389]
and clear my search history
[00:07:51.139]
and show you one other thing in advanced search
[00:07:53.480]
within Gale In context high school
[00:07:55.649]
before I show you something unique within your
[00:07:57.659]
OneFile periodical resources.
[00:08:00.139]
So we just did multiple search terms
[00:08:02.180]
and search fields at the top
[00:08:03.838]
to get very specific. You can use
[00:08:05.870]
Advanced Search to do a broad search as well.
[00:08:08.240]
We know that we can use OR to
[00:08:10.319]
look for synonyms,
[00:08:11.939]
climate change
[00:08:13.639]
OR global warming, for
[00:08:15.730]
example.
[00:08:17.139]
We can also use these limiters down here
[00:08:19.379]
to either narrow or expand our search.
[00:08:22.639]
This is very powerful. If you have
[00:08:24.829]
a student who's coming in who's looking for,
[00:08:26.838]
say, a primary source document.
[00:08:29.240]
They don't know which one, they just
[00:08:31.410]
know that they have to do a
[00:08:33.428]
report on a primary source
[00:08:35.450]
that's a speech.
[00:08:37.840]
I can click 'primary sources',
[00:08:40.240]
narrow down
[00:08:42.038]
to the 'document type': speeches.
[00:08:49.840]
And maybe that student is at a different reading level
[00:08:52.399]
than high school.
[00:08:54.440]
I'm going to refine results to say
[00:08:56.610]
level three for Middle School
[00:08:59.940]
And two for Upper Elementary.
[00:09:03.440]
We'll include four for high school.
[00:09:05.440]
So I've narrowed it down by primary sources,
[00:09:07.610]
that are speeches, in their reading level,
[00:09:10.840]
but I haven't added any search terms.
[00:09:14.139]
Quick, Easy way to get to content. Just do
[00:09:16.330]
a search here, without search terms,
[00:09:19.240]
I now have 329 primary
[00:09:21.600]
sources and again, the ability to filter
[00:09:24.090]
and narrow it down over on the right.
[00:09:26.940]
If I have decided that maybe I don't
[00:09:29.259]
need that reading level, I can just
[00:09:31.668]
click the X to remove the filter that
[00:09:33.720]
I had added and get all of
[00:09:35.720]
my results (primary sources: speeches)
[00:09:41.940]
Now, all of these Advanced Searches
[00:09:44.408]
are going to look similar within your Gale resources.
[00:09:46.899]
Advanced Search is right here under the basic search.
[00:09:50.240]
I'm showing you this next one in Gale General Onefile because
[00:09:52.389]
there's something unique you can do within your Onefile periodical
[00:09:54.908]
resources.
[00:09:56.240]
When I do an advanced search
[00:09:58.240]
In a Gale Onefile product,
[00:10:00.440]
it is really helpful to be able to repeat
[00:10:02.879]
the search. Not just get the search
[00:10:05.019]
results but actually get alerts without
[00:10:07.168]
rewriting my search. You'll notice that the search
[00:10:09.308]
term and
[00:10:10.240]
fields look the same.
[00:10:12.940]
We may have some additional fields that we can look
[00:10:15.048]
through but very similar.
[00:10:17.139]
We still got all of our Boolean operators,
[00:10:20.340]
our checkboxes to limit by peer-reviewed,
[00:10:22.710]
and document type.
[00:10:25.740]
But when I do a search within
[00:10:27.889]
Onefile, I'm going to go ahead and
[00:10:30.110]
do a similar search
[00:10:32.340]
using
[00:10:34.240]
proximity searching this time.
[00:10:38.610]
The proximity operator is going to look for,
[00:10:41.538]
I look for plastic
[00:10:45.940]
and then my wild card, I want it to
[00:10:47.960]
be within three words of
[00:10:50.090]
pollution.
[00:10:51.038]
So it doesn't need to be
[00:10:53.340]
plastic followed by pollution. It can be within
[00:10:55.759]
three words of that. 'Plastic
[00:10:57.970]
is increasing pollution' would pop
[00:11:00.220]
up as a result, for example.
[00:11:04.740]
And then I'm also going to narrow down by
[00:11:06.990]
the publication title. You have so
[00:11:09.048]
many publication titles available to you
[00:11:11.080]
within your periodical resources. General
[00:11:13.620]
onefile has over 9000.
[00:11:16.840]
This is a great way to take a look at the
[00:11:18.928]
way that different publications are covering
[00:11:21.288]
the same issue.
[00:11:23.139]
So I want to look at coverage from
[00:11:25.370]
'the new york times'
[00:11:29.139]
or 'USA Today'
[00:11:30.240]
(and you'll notice I'm putting that on the same line).
[00:11:38.440]
OR usa today
[00:11:41.038]
you can add as many rows and search terms as you like
[00:11:43.149]
so you can make your search as
[00:11:46.740]
detailed as you'd like. So I'm looking for
[00:11:48.750]
plastic within three words of
[00:11:50.769]
pollution. Only these two publications,
[00:11:54.740]
I do still have the option to add limiters
[00:11:56.830]
if I want to look by a specific date,
[00:11:59.038]
but I'm okay with this. I'm going to go ahead
[00:12:01.070]
and run my search
[00:12:06.038]
and we've gotten very specific results
[00:12:09.639]
within Gale General Onefile. What's nice is
[00:12:12.058]
you can click 'search alert' right
[00:12:14.269]
next to the 'search history' we were using earlier
[00:12:17.340]
and we can be notified every time there are
[00:12:19.440]
new results on that search.
[00:12:21.450]
So I don't have to repeat typing that search in every
[00:12:23.668]
time if this is a topic I care
[00:12:25.740]
about and want to get informed daily,
[00:12:28.038]
weekly, monthly content from those publications.
[00:12:31.538]
I can also set up an rss feed.
[00:12:33.558]
Maybe I want to start a channel on Feedly
[00:12:35.778]
or another rss reader,
[00:12:38.240]
just cut and paste that link in there.
[00:12:42.538]
Another quick thing I can do, I can
[00:12:44.590]
look for publication in advanced search.
[00:12:47.090]
I can also just click on the title of
[00:12:49.129]
the publication. These titles are all hyperlinks
[00:12:56.038]
and I can also create a journal alert from here
[00:12:58.158]
So every time new information comes
[00:13:00.200]
in from 'the new york times', I can choose that
[00:13:02.340]
to go to my rss feed
[00:13:04.240]
or I can choose to have that emailed to
[00:13:06.298]
me on a schedule that works
[00:13:08.399]
for me. You can do this within
[00:13:10.418]
any of your Gale Onefile products.
[00:13:12.639]
The advanced search is giving us a lot
[00:13:14.678]
of different options
[00:13:16.139]
to narrow down our search or
[00:13:18.158]
to widen it, if we're looking for a larger variety
[00:13:20.538]
of different resources.
[00:13:28.240]
Now we are going to get to questions and answers
[00:13:30.778]
at the end of this 15 minutes, but before
[00:13:33.350]
we do that, I want to mention that you do
[00:13:35.350]
have a gale customer success manager
[00:13:37.580]
available.
[00:13:38.639]
That person is going to help you be successful
[00:13:40.908]
with all things Gale: usage, statistics,
[00:13:43.778]
marketing, if you need
[00:13:45.908]
to integrate with an LMS,
[00:13:48.110]
if you need different ideas, this person
[00:13:50.350]
is here to help. And every account has a
[00:13:52.500]
Customer Success manager dedicated to them. This is the generic
[00:13:54.840]
email if you
[00:13:56.139]
don't yet know the customer success manager for your
[00:13:58.240]
account. We have lots
[00:14:00.360]
of support and training materials at support.gale.com
[00:14:02.240]
This is a 15 minute, real quick
[00:14:04.538]
tutorial. We do have longer tutorials
[00:14:06.928]
available on advanced search and
[00:14:09.259]
on each unique database.
[00:14:11.500]

Hello and welcome, everyone. Thank
[00:00:06.660]
you for joining me. My name is Marian Valentine.
[00:00:09.330]
I am your Gale trainer and with
[00:00:11.330]
me is Stacey Knibloe, our
[00:00:13.368]
senior trainer here at Gale.
[00:00:15.589]
To help answer your questions in Q and A.
[00:00:17.609]
We will be covering
[00:00:20.178]
Q and A at the end of our 15 minute
[00:00:22.178]
session as we're going to be moving quickly
[00:00:24.480]
to discover how gale's advanced
[00:00:26.600]
search tools can quickly help you
[00:00:28.609]
get relevant materials to
[00:00:30.699]
the hands of your users in public
[00:00:32.960]
academic and K-12
[00:00:35.289]
libraries.
[00:00:42.140]
In this 15 minute Webinar, we'll learn
[00:00:44.240]
how advanced search can improve reference for
[00:00:46.329]
your patrons, whether it's helping them
[00:00:48.520]
find additional resources or narrow
[00:00:50.899]
down their search terms.
[00:00:53.039]
We'll go live within a gale resource to
[00:00:55.149]
explore advanced search examples
[00:00:57.280]
of how to increase your search results or
[00:00:59.439]
to refine your results by reading
[00:01:01.469]
level, content type, publication
[00:01:04.040]
or subject.
[00:01:05.239]
And we'll finish out with where you can go for additional
[00:01:07.530]
support. This is 15
[00:01:09.620]
minutes. So stay
[00:01:11.750]
with us after the session to find the answers
[00:01:14.200]
to your questions.
[00:01:16.039]
This session is being recorded and
[00:01:18.370]
you will get a copy of the recording tomorrow so you can
[00:01:20.420]
review that as well.
[00:01:28.039]
The best way to learn about advanced search is
[00:01:30.129]
just to go ahead and visit advanced
[00:01:32.200]
search. So I'm going to
[00:01:34.140]
show you my screen. You can use
[00:01:36.140]
advanced search on almost all of your Gale
[00:01:38.519]
products and that's going to include Gale in context
[00:01:41.098]
ebooks, Onefile periodicals, and primary sources.
[00:01:43.468]
Almost every Gale resource.
[00:01:45.640]
We're going to start off with an example
[00:01:47.680]
of Gale In Context High School.
[00:01:56.000]
We've got a basic search here at the top
[00:01:58.209]
(most of our students start
[00:02:00.319]
with that). It's very google
[00:02:02.450]
oriented. You can just type in words
[00:02:04.840]
and start your search. But today we're focused
[00:02:07.108]
on advanced search.
[00:02:13.438]
First, a brief overview of the advanced search screen.
[00:02:15.699]
You can use this to look for multiple
[00:02:18.169]
search terms or
[00:02:20.288]
to look for a specific subject. It's
[00:02:22.478]
going to default to terms you're
[00:02:24.530]
searching for in the keyword field.
[00:02:26.699]
So looking at major descriptor fields,
[00:02:28.740]
but perhaps you want it to be the subject
[00:02:31.639]
of
[00:02:32.740]
your resource
[00:02:34.340]
or you're searching for something that's really difficult
[00:02:36.550]
to find information on. You want to can search
[00:02:38.759]
for a term within the entire document. There are
[00:02:40.810]
lots of different fields to choose from,
[00:02:43.180]
including the name of the work,
[00:02:45.668]
if you're doing a literature
[00:02:47.978]
search. Search fields can help narrow to what
[00:02:50.438]
the article is about, maybe
[00:02:52.628]
it's *about* a person or maybe it's content *by* a specific
[00:02:55.079]
person you want to look up.
[00:02:56.538]
Lots of different options with fields. You've got
[00:02:58.750]
your AND OR NOT Boolean operators.
[00:03:01.740]
If you're not familiar with those, you can see
[00:03:03.818]
some examples with the search tips below.
[00:03:07.840]
This (AND NOT) is going to make it so that you can get even
[00:03:09.938]
more specific with your search results.
[00:03:12.000]
Or you can use OR
[00:03:14.250]
to widen your search and look for synonyms
[00:03:17.038]
and similar terms.
[00:03:20.340]
You've got unique limiters
[00:03:22.038]
underneath those advanced search fields.
[00:03:24.300]
This is going to help you narrow down your search
[00:03:26.460]
even more. So we're looking at full-text documents.
[00:03:29.139]
We could uncheck full-text and choose to look at citations as
[00:03:31.280]
well. We could narrow to peer
[00:03:33.490]
reviewed journal articles
[00:03:35.538]
for college or GT
[00:03:37.538]
students,
[00:03:38.538]
scholars, or professional development articles.
[00:03:40.800]
We can narrow
[00:03:42.978]
by the publication date.
[00:03:44.938]
So if we're looking for recent medical information or
[00:03:47.158]
we're looking for the latest news. This can be very
[00:03:49.378]
helpful.
[00:03:51.438]
I love these 'content type' boxes
[00:03:53.530]
and I'll show you an example of a search later.
[00:03:55.949]
But this is a quick, easy way to get
[00:03:57.990]
to specific 'content type' and you
[00:04:00.008]
don't even need a search term to search by 'content type'.
[00:04:04.530]
Below that, by 'document type'
[00:04:08.840]
is going to let you get very specific.
[00:04:11.038]
So if I'm looking for a science experiment,
[00:04:13.938]
I can look for that type of document.
[00:04:16.838]
Each one of these limiters is going to have a little information
[00:04:19.069]
tab that will tell you more about
[00:04:21.838]
the particular type of search we're doing.
[00:04:23.860]
So don't feel like you have to memorize all of it
[00:04:25.949]
right now.
[00:04:27.139]
And if you're a teacher or if you
[00:04:29.139]
are in public libraries and you have younger
[00:04:31.149]
users,
[00:04:32.040]
the 'content levels'
[00:04:33.740]
are going to make it easy to get to
[00:04:35.750]
particular Lexile levels, particular
[00:04:38.088]
reading levels, that work with your
[00:04:40.209]
students or young adults.
[00:04:42.939]
These do line up to the lexile
[00:04:44.959]
levels, but an easy way to
[00:04:47.050]
see these is: one and two is elementary reading level,
[00:04:49.300]
three is going to be middle school, four for high
[00:04:51.399]
school and five above
[00:04:53.409]
that high school reading level.
[00:04:54.338]
So I'm searching Gale In context
[00:04:56.420]
high school, we'll show you some 'content level' searches later,
[00:04:58.920]
but we'll start with an advanced search and
[00:05:00.990]
how you can use terms and fields to get to specific
[00:05:03.160]
results. I'm going
[00:05:06.480]
to change this field back to keyword and
[00:05:08.639]
we'll do a before and after (of results).
[00:05:10.639]
If I type in the word 'climate change', you'll
[00:05:12.800]
notice it has auto-predict.
[00:05:15.040]
And that will help me with spelling and
[00:05:17.740]
if I select 'climate change' from here, it's
[00:05:19.819]
also going to put the terms in quotation marks.
[00:05:22.540]
So that's going to look specifically
[00:05:25.009]
for climate followed by change.
[00:05:27.389]
In that order.
[00:05:29.139]
If I do a keyword search on 'climate change,'
[00:05:34.838]
you'll notice that I find a lot of results,
[00:05:37.050]
many different content types.
[00:05:39.139]
I do have the option to filter over here
[00:05:41.230]
on the right. But since we're in advanced
[00:05:43.540]
search, we're going to focus on
[00:05:45.620]
filtering and narrowing results down
[00:05:47.680]
with our advanced search options.
[00:05:51.040]
I can either click 'revise search' right
[00:05:53.100]
here, I can click back in my browser to clear
[00:05:55.939]
my search, but I'm going to go to 'search history'
[00:05:58.199]
in this example because it really helps you see
[00:06:01.139]
the number of results for my search terms.
[00:06:03.579]
So I did a keyword search for 'climate change'
[00:06:06.019]
and I got
[00:06:06.939]
68,000 results.
[00:06:09.740]
I'm going to revise that to narrow it
[00:06:11.769]
down. By 'revising,'
[00:06:15.449]
I've kept my search terms and keyword field search.
[00:06:17.588]
Now I'd like to be more
[00:06:19.730]
specific, I want 'climate change' to
[00:06:21.730]
be the subject
[00:06:23.240]
of my article (not just mentioned)
[00:06:25.439]
and I'm going to add
[00:06:27.500]
a couple of search terms to make it even
[00:06:29.769]
more narrow.
[00:06:30.939]
I'd also like the word pollution to be
[00:06:33.009]
in there and
[00:06:36.480]
I'd like to talk about plastic
[00:06:38.610]
pollution.
[00:06:40.540]
Now you'll notice that auto-predict gives me plastic, plastics, plasticity.
[00:06:44.439]
I can throw in a wildcard here
[00:06:49.139]
So this asterisk
[00:06:51.540]
is going to be considered a wildcard. You can also
[00:06:53.879]
use a question mark or exclamation point.
[00:06:56.290]
It's going to look for everything that starts
[00:06:58.480]
with plastic
[00:06:59.939]
and I would like plastic* to be just somewhere
[00:07:02.028]
in the 'entire document'.
[00:07:03.439]
So I'm searching multiple terms and a couple of different fields
[00:07:05.629]
(subject, keyword, entire document) to narrow my results.
[00:07:11.740]
Now we can see we've gotten very specific,
[00:07:14.240]
we see all of our search terms right here
[00:07:17.040]
and the option to revise.
[00:07:18.838]
I'm looking at the subject of 'climate
[00:07:20.838]
change' with the keyword of pollution
[00:07:22.899]
that mentions plastic in the document.
[00:07:26.040]
Very easy to share out these search
[00:07:28.220]
results
[00:07:29.439]
by going to 'get link'.
[00:07:31.540]
So you don't have to tell your students all the different
[00:07:33.670]
terms you used to get there, you can just
[00:07:35.740]
use 'get link' to share your results.
[00:07:39.740]
And if we look at my 'search history', you can see,
[00:07:41.920]
I went from 68,000 results
[00:07:44.139]
to 83 very specific
[00:07:46.329]
results. I'll go ahead
[00:07:48.389]
and clear my search history
[00:07:51.139]
and show you one other thing in advanced search
[00:07:53.480]
within Gale In context high school
[00:07:55.649]
before I show you something unique within your
[00:07:57.659]
OneFile periodical resources.
[00:08:00.139]
So we just did multiple search terms
[00:08:02.180]
and search fields at the top
[00:08:03.838]
to get very specific. You can use
[00:08:05.870]
Advanced Search to do a broad search as well.
[00:08:08.240]
We know that we can use OR to
[00:08:10.319]
look for synonyms,
[00:08:11.939]
climate change
[00:08:13.639]
OR global warming, for
[00:08:15.730]
example.
[00:08:17.139]
We can also use these limiters down here
[00:08:19.379]
to either narrow or expand our search.
[00:08:22.639]
This is very powerful. If you have
[00:08:24.829]
a student who's coming in who's looking for,
[00:08:26.838]
say, a primary source document.
[00:08:29.240]
They don't know which one, they just
[00:08:31.410]
know that they have to do a
[00:08:33.428]
report on a primary source
[00:08:35.450]
that's a speech.
[00:08:37.840]
I can click 'primary sources',
[00:08:40.240]
narrow down
[00:08:42.038]
to the 'document type': speeches.
[00:08:49.840]
And maybe that student is at a different reading level
[00:08:52.399]
than high school.
[00:08:54.440]
I'm going to refine results to say
[00:08:56.610]
level three for Middle School
[00:08:59.940]
And two for Upper Elementary.
[00:09:03.440]
We'll include four for high school.
[00:09:05.440]
So I've narrowed it down by primary sources,
[00:09:07.610]
that are speeches, in their reading level,
[00:09:10.840]
but I haven't added any search terms.
[00:09:14.139]
Quick, Easy way to get to content. Just do
[00:09:16.330]
a search here, without search terms,
[00:09:19.240]
I now have 329 primary
[00:09:21.600]
sources and again, the ability to filter
[00:09:24.090]
and narrow it down over on the right.
[00:09:26.940]
If I have decided that maybe I don't
[00:09:29.259]
need that reading level, I can just
[00:09:31.668]
click the X to remove the filter that
[00:09:33.720]
I had added and get all of
[00:09:35.720]
my results (primary sources: speeches)
[00:09:41.940]
Now, all of these Advanced Searches
[00:09:44.408]
are going to look similar within your Gale resources.
[00:09:46.899]
Advanced Search is right here under the basic search.
[00:09:50.240]
I'm showing you this next one in Gale General Onefile because
[00:09:52.389]
there's something unique you can do within your Onefile periodical
[00:09:54.908]
resources.
[00:09:56.240]
When I do an advanced search
[00:09:58.240]
In a Gale Onefile product,
[00:10:00.440]
it is really helpful to be able to repeat
[00:10:02.879]
the search. Not just get the search
[00:10:05.019]
results but actually get alerts without
[00:10:07.168]
rewriting my search. You'll notice that the search
[00:10:09.308]
term and
[00:10:10.240]
fields look the same.
[00:10:12.940]
We may have some additional fields that we can look
[00:10:15.048]
through but very similar.
[00:10:17.139]
We still got all of our Boolean operators,
[00:10:20.340]
our checkboxes to limit by peer-reviewed,
[00:10:22.710]
and document type.
[00:10:25.740]
But when I do a search within
[00:10:27.889]
Onefile, I'm going to go ahead and
[00:10:30.110]
do a similar search
[00:10:32.340]
using
[00:10:34.240]
proximity searching this time.
[00:10:38.610]
The proximity operator is going to look for,
[00:10:41.538]
I look for plastic
[00:10:45.940]
and then my wild card, I want it to
[00:10:47.960]
be within three words of
[00:10:50.090]
pollution.
[00:10:51.038]
So it doesn't need to be
[00:10:53.340]
plastic followed by pollution. It can be within
[00:10:55.759]
three words of that. 'Plastic
[00:10:57.970]
is increasing pollution' would pop
[00:11:00.220]
up as a result, for example.
[00:11:04.740]
And then I'm also going to narrow down by
[00:11:06.990]
the publication title. You have so
[00:11:09.048]
many publication titles available to you
[00:11:11.080]
within your periodical resources. General
[00:11:13.620]
onefile has over 9000.
[00:11:16.840]
This is a great way to take a look at the
[00:11:18.928]
way that different publications are covering
[00:11:21.288]
the same issue.
[00:11:23.139]
So I want to look at coverage from
[00:11:25.370]
'the new york times'
[00:11:29.139]
or 'USA Today'
[00:11:30.240]
(and you'll notice I'm putting that on the same line).
[00:11:38.440]
OR usa today
[00:11:41.038]
you can add as many rows and search terms as you like
[00:11:43.149]
so you can make your search as
[00:11:46.740]
detailed as you'd like. So I'm looking for
[00:11:48.750]
plastic within three words of
[00:11:50.769]
pollution. Only these two publications,
[00:11:54.740]
I do still have the option to add limiters
[00:11:56.830]
if I want to look by a specific date,
[00:11:59.038]
but I'm okay with this. I'm going to go ahead
[00:12:01.070]
and run my search
[00:12:06.038]
and we've gotten very specific results
[00:12:09.639]
within Gale General Onefile. What's nice is
[00:12:12.058]
you can click 'search alert' right
[00:12:14.269]
next to the 'search history' we were using earlier
[00:12:17.340]
and we can be notified every time there are
[00:12:19.440]
new results on that search.
[00:12:21.450]
So I don't have to repeat typing that search in every
[00:12:23.668]
time if this is a topic I care
[00:12:25.740]
about and want to get informed daily,
[00:12:28.038]
weekly, monthly content from those publications.
[00:12:31.538]
I can also set up an rss feed.
[00:12:33.558]
Maybe I want to start a channel on Feedly
[00:12:35.778]
or another rss reader,
[00:12:38.240]
just cut and paste that link in there.
[00:12:42.538]
Another quick thing I can do, I can
[00:12:44.590]
look for publication in advanced search.
[00:12:47.090]
I can also just click on the title of
[00:12:49.129]
the publication. These titles are all hyperlinks
[00:12:56.038]
and I can also create a journal alert from here
[00:12:58.158]
So every time new information comes
[00:13:00.200]
in from 'the new york times', I can choose that
[00:13:02.340]
to go to my rss feed
[00:13:04.240]
or I can choose to have that emailed to
[00:13:06.298]
me on a schedule that works
[00:13:08.399]
for me. You can do this within
[00:13:10.418]
any of your Gale Onefile products.
[00:13:12.639]
The advanced search is giving us a lot
[00:13:14.678]
of different options
[00:13:16.139]
to narrow down our search or
[00:13:18.158]
to widen it, if we're looking for a larger variety
[00:13:20.538]
of different resources.
[00:13:28.240]
Now we are going to get to questions and answers
[00:13:30.778]
at the end of this 15 minutes, but before
[00:13:33.350]
we do that, I want to mention that you do
