Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:05.198]
Hello, everyone. Welcome to today's
[00:00:07.269]
Gale 101 session focused
[00:00:09.550]
on Gale In Context: Canada.
[00:00:11.630]
My name is Amber Winters and I am your training
[00:00:13.810]
consultant for the day.
[00:00:15.978]
So for our agenda first, we'll overview
[00:00:18.449]
the resource. So what you can kind of expect
[00:00:20.870]
the basics out of the resource, we'll
[00:00:23.109]
then talk about some of the key content. You're going to
[00:00:25.129]
find that your users will find and be able to utilize.
[00:00:28.199]
But we'll spend the majority of the time actually walking
[00:00:30.339]
through the platform. So you can get a feel of
[00:00:32.359]
all of the different workflows on all the different
[00:00:34.368]
tools available. And at the very
[00:00:36.429]
end of the session, if I don't get everyone's
[00:00:38.590]
questions answered as we move forward, we'll
[00:00:40.810]
have some time for any questions you have and I'll have some
[00:00:43.060]
follow up contact information for you as
[00:00:45.250]
well. So let's
[00:00:47.329]
go ahead and just dive right in here.
[00:00:49.408]
Oops.
[00:00:50.908]
So Gale In Context: Canada
[00:00:51.779]
is designed
[00:00:54.149]
specifically for kind of the secondary
[00:00:56.359]
level users in up. So we're talking
[00:00:58.548]
about middle school and high school
[00:01:00.560]
users as well as undergraduate students
[00:01:02.598]
and adult learners who are looking for information
[00:01:05.058]
directly related to Canada and kind of
[00:01:07.180]
current events and history and things like that
[00:01:09.519]
related to Canada.
[00:01:11.620]
Some of the key content you're going to find within
[00:01:13.689]
this resource include topics that fall
[00:01:15.948]
into government, business, geography,
[00:01:18.430]
history, and social issues. So this is
[00:01:20.519]
a really well rounded resource
[00:01:22.838]
that's trying to give you
[00:01:24.528]
a cross curricular look at
[00:01:26.629]
really everything Canada. So we've really tried
[00:01:28.750]
to pull in art
[00:01:31.209]
science, literature, social studies,
[00:01:33.609]
you'll find quite a bit of information here in this resource.
[00:01:37.079]
And in addition to all of the great content, we have,
[00:01:39.099]
we also have a lot of different tools that we're going to look
[00:01:41.239]
through today that are going to support learning.
[00:01:43.489]
So this is especially helpful if we're talking about
[00:01:46.129]
excuse me,
[00:01:48.299]
secondary level students, they may need
[00:01:50.338]
to take notes and make highlights.
[00:01:52.579]
We can translate articles, have them
[00:01:54.730]
read aloud, we can change the font,
[00:01:57.159]
size, the font type, the colors
[00:01:59.540]
of the documents. We have full citations.
[00:02:02.168]
We're also integrated with both Google
[00:02:04.448]
and Microsoft. So users can
[00:02:06.588]
always save content they find within the resource
[00:02:08.689]
that they think may be interesting.
[00:02:12.069]
So let's go ahead and take a look at some of the different
[00:02:14.300]
content types we have available here.
[00:02:16.500]
So the first one is probably the one you would expect
[00:02:18.899]
the most to find a resource like this
[00:02:20.969]
and that's going to be a reference articles. So
[00:02:23.058]
that's giving both overview and detailed information,
[00:02:25.819]
just specifically about the facts around
[00:02:27.960]
a topic. So we're not getting into opinion
[00:02:30.569]
pieces or anything like that. This is really
[00:02:32.719]
just providing the facts
[00:02:34.889]
behind whatever your user is learning
[00:02:37.028]
about. So this is a nice place for
[00:02:39.088]
them to start and kind of get their foundation about
[00:02:41.118]
whatever they're planning on, on researching
[00:02:43.219]
and learning about.
[00:02:45.300]
We also have a huge selection of news and magazines
[00:02:48.360]
and these are up to date many publications
[00:02:51.439]
imported daily
[00:02:53.419]
and it's going to help them kind of bring the real
[00:02:55.710]
world to whatever they're learning about. So not only
[00:02:57.808]
are they getting the the straight facts, I guess
[00:02:59.960]
you could call them from reference articles, but
[00:03:02.050]
they can also see how the topics they're learning about
[00:03:04.338]
and they're exploring are kind of
[00:03:06.399]
playing out in the real world. So they're
[00:03:08.520]
going to get that really up to date
[00:03:10.729]
news and magazine content.
[00:03:13.990]
We also include multimedia content here.
[00:03:16.159]
So I'm talking things like videos, images,
[00:03:18.778]
audio files, a lot of which are podcasts.
[00:03:21.389]
So these are going to help your learners who are maybe not as
[00:03:23.460]
comfortable with reading, who prefer to get their
[00:03:25.538]
information in other ways. You know, they
[00:03:27.750]
like to just listen or they like to watch,
[00:03:30.133]
they'll find content in here to support
[00:03:32.455]
them as well. So again, trying to come from
[00:03:34.524]
that well rounded side of things,
[00:03:36.764]
they're not only going to get the textual
[00:03:38.774]
information you would expect from a context resource,
[00:03:41.514]
but they're also going to get multimedia content
[00:03:43.925]
really to supplement, to support them.
[00:03:47.399]
Although also within this resource, we have
[00:03:49.500]
a pretty substantial collection
[00:03:51.550]
of biographies. So if you have
[00:03:53.669]
individuals looking for famous Canadian
[00:03:56.069]
figures, both historical and contemporary
[00:03:58.750]
and all different kind of
[00:04:01.419]
walks of life, all different, different
[00:04:04.038]
[00:04:07.110]
careers and things like that, you'll find individuals
[00:04:09.379]
in this resource. So people who are in the government,
[00:04:12.300]
scientists and doctors,
[00:04:14.538]
people in pop pop culture. So like
[00:04:16.928]
actors and musicians as well
[00:04:19.069]
as individuals in literature and art.
[00:04:21.189]
So really anyone you're looking for, you'll
[00:04:23.220]
find quite a bit of content within
[00:04:25.699]
Gale In Context: Canada
[00:04:28.230]
we also include creative works in here. So
[00:04:30.399]
if users are looking for full
[00:04:32.509]
text plays or short stories or
[00:04:35.040]
things like poems, we have
[00:04:37.178]
those within this resource as well. And again, they are
[00:04:39.329]
full text. So users will be
[00:04:41.338]
able to read through the entire poem or
[00:04:43.420]
whatever it is to kind of get the full
[00:04:45.509]
feeling of that work. And a lot
[00:04:47.678]
of these works have a little blurbs at the top.
[00:04:50.220]
So we're giving a little bit of context about
[00:04:52.709]
you know, maybe the time frame, this was written, maybe
[00:04:54.819]
a little bit of information about the author.
[00:04:57.079]
So we're getting a little bit of that in this
[00:04:59.149]
resource as well attached to those creative works.
[00:05:04.119]
And finally, we do have academic journals in
[00:05:06.149]
this resource. So if you're working with
[00:05:08.160]
undergraduate students or
[00:05:10.389]
you know, higher level secondary students who are
[00:05:12.470]
ready to dive into the more academic level
[00:05:14.699]
of information, you're going to find that information
[00:05:17.028]
here in this platform. Also great for your
[00:05:19.149]
adult learners who may be coming in trying to learn
[00:05:21.189]
a little bit.
[00:05:22.278]
They'll find that's listed
[00:05:24.309]
on our platform as well.
[00:05:29.149]
Now I'm going to spend the rest of my time actually
[00:05:31.309]
digging into this resource. So you can see how it works,
[00:05:33.730]
kind of get a feel for everything. While
[00:05:35.939]
I switch over, if there are any questions, please
[00:05:38.100]
put those into the Q and A box and I will
[00:05:40.178]
be able to answer them for you.
[00:05:45.480]
No, almost got signed up.
[00:05:48.358]
OK? So this is a home page here of Galen
[00:05:50.699]
context, Canada. And if you have any
[00:05:52.809]
other in context resources,
[00:05:54.829]
this most likely looks pretty familiar to
[00:05:56.970]
you. We've kind of laid out all of them
[00:05:59.199]
to look very, very similar to make it easy
[00:06:01.309]
for your users to navigate. But
[00:06:03.428]
if you haven't seen it in context resource previously,
[00:06:05.889]
let me kind of show you how this is set up here.
[00:06:08.480]
So scrolling down right here, kind of towards
[00:06:10.660]
the middle of the page. We pull out some topics
[00:06:13.059]
of interest. So we have three pulled out right now. We
[00:06:15.100]
have wildfires, Drake
[00:06:17.439]
and missing and murdered indigenous women.
[00:06:19.699]
So we try to
[00:06:21.858]
make these kind of
[00:06:23.879]
more diverse options. So, you
[00:06:25.988]
know, something related to science, something related
[00:06:28.028]
to kind of pop culture and then something that's
[00:06:30.389]
a little more of a social issue that we're trying
[00:06:32.569]
to pull attention to. So these
[00:06:34.829]
generally will change monthly depending on what's going
[00:06:37.079]
on. If something particularly newsworthy
[00:06:39.399]
happens, a lot of times that will be bumped
[00:06:41.410]
forward into our topics of interest just
[00:06:43.730]
because we want to make that content as simple
[00:06:46.108]
as possible for users to access.
[00:06:48.879]
But they can easily click into any of these if they find
[00:06:51.000]
it interesting, you know, if they clicked in and didn't know exactly
[00:06:53.350]
what they wanted to look for. This is a nice
[00:06:55.420]
place for them to start.
[00:06:58.509]
And then underneath that, we have this little
[00:07:00.939]
browse topics section here
[00:07:03.250]
and each of these topics you'll see they're kind of broken
[00:07:05.588]
up based on topic type.
[00:07:07.660]
So like business and economics has been pulled together,
[00:07:10.100]
history, science and health,
[00:07:12.379]
cultures and religion, social
[00:07:14.399]
issues kind of pulled them all together
[00:07:16.759]
here. And each of these topics are
[00:07:18.910]
actually is something that we call topic pages
[00:07:21.358]
that we've curated for your users.
[00:07:23.619]
So they're the most used and most
[00:07:25.738]
studied topics within this resource.
[00:07:28.678]
What we do is we curate a page where we provide them
[00:07:30.790]
with an overview and then we organize
[00:07:32.949]
all of our related content for them. So it's kind
[00:07:35.069]
of like a one stop shop to find information.
[00:07:37.588]
So as opposed to running a basic search,
[00:07:40.220]
they'll be able to click into these topic pages
[00:07:42.588]
kind of learn from there.
[00:07:45.678]
You see, I do have the option to browse all topic
[00:07:47.928]
pages. If I like, you'll see right now, there are 1333
[00:07:51.798]
topics found within this resource.
[00:07:54.459]
And I do like to mention here, these are not,
[00:07:56.548]
you know, an exhaustive list of every single thing that
[00:07:58.629]
you're going to find within
[00:08:00.869]
Gale In Context: Canada this is just
[00:08:03.040]
the topic pages. So if your user
[00:08:05.069]
is maybe looking for something that isn't
[00:08:07.100]
as studied or as popular
[00:08:09.209]
within this resource, they could run a basic
[00:08:11.488]
search and they're still going to find content. It just won't
[00:08:13.629]
be in the topic page kind of layout.
[00:08:17.850]
So let's scroll back up to the top here and
[00:08:19.869]
see what a topic page actually looks like.
[00:08:22.928]
So I'm just going to run a basic search, which of
[00:08:25.000]
course is what a lot of users just prefer to do.
[00:08:27.459]
I'm going to run a search for first nations today.
[00:08:30.298]
And when I start typing, I want you to notice
[00:08:34.168]
and my predictive text here, see the
[00:08:36.239]
1st 1234 here.
[00:08:38.479]
actually have images attached
[00:08:40.529]
to them here and they're listed as topic guides or
[00:08:42.788]
a work guide. So this is going to be those
[00:08:44.928]
topic pages that I mentioned. So
[00:08:47.269]
your users, even if they're running a search can
[00:08:49.450]
still access those curated pages that's
[00:08:51.570]
going to make it a little bit easier for them to find content.
[00:08:54.609]
So again, I said we're gonna look at first nations.
[00:08:56.849]
So you'll see. I have a topic page here.
[00:08:59.139]
So I'm going to click into that.
[00:09:01.259]
Ok, so now here we are on our topic
[00:09:03.418]
page for first nations. So I mentioned
[00:09:05.788]
at the top we're going to have just an overview
[00:09:08.048]
about the background of whatever this topic is.
[00:09:10.479]
And we have topics on our topic pages
[00:09:12.710]
on everything. So first
[00:09:14.759]
nations, we have biographical topic pages.
[00:09:17.158]
So they're getting an overview about the person.
[00:09:19.599]
We have tablet pages, about social issues,
[00:09:21.629]
about scientific ideas about
[00:09:23.989]
provinces, geography,
[00:09:26.158]
things like that. So our tablet pages
[00:09:28.320]
are pretty broad, but they're always going
[00:09:30.379]
to have the overview at the top of the page
[00:09:32.830]
where I can hit, read more if I like
[00:09:36.408]
kind of read through and get the basics here.
[00:09:39.649]
I can use my breadcrumb trail of the top to
[00:09:41.678]
get back to that First Nations topic page
[00:09:43.969]
or I can hit my back button in the browser.
[00:09:52.239]
So once I get back to my topic page here, I'll be able
[00:09:54.389]
to scroll down
[00:09:57.629]
and we have this nice on this page section.
[00:10:00.359]
So this is showing all of the different content
[00:10:02.428]
types we have related to first nations
[00:10:04.500]
and how many of each we have here? So
[00:10:06.538]
you see, we have 476
[00:10:08.779]
reference articles. We've got biographies,
[00:10:11.489]
plot summaries, primary sources,
[00:10:13.979]
magazines, Creative works,
[00:10:16.379]
quite a few academic journals. Again,
[00:10:18.558]
if you're working with those older aged
[00:10:20.599]
learners
[00:10:23.259]
and then scrolling down, you're going to see all of those
[00:10:25.649]
different content types listed here in these different
[00:10:27.678]
content buckets.
[00:10:30.379]
So I can click into any of these buckets and see
[00:10:32.719]
every entry related to that. So if I want to see all
[00:10:34.859]
of the biographies, I can do that or
[00:10:36.989]
I can click directly into one of these
[00:10:39.029]
biographies of interest,
[00:10:41.168]
I can also scroll down to the bottom here.
[00:10:43.558]
This is a nice feature. I like to point out
[00:10:47.168]
at the bo the very bottom here. I have related
[00:10:49.678]
topics. So if I'm ready to
[00:10:51.690]
kind of move my learning forward, maybe
[00:10:53.840]
I don't know my next search term or maybe
[00:10:56.009]
I just don't really know where I want to go.
[00:10:57.869]
This related topics, topics
[00:11:00.408]
section is really nice because these are also
[00:11:02.450]
topic pages. So you can really
[00:11:04.519]
start to kind of move forward just by pointing and
[00:11:06.538]
clicking and getting to these new topic
[00:11:08.619]
pages.
[00:11:11.619]
Let's go ahead and scroll up here.
[00:11:14.678]
Then I'm going to just click into my reference
[00:11:16.908]
articles so we can take a look at some of the filtering
[00:11:19.158]
options we have available. So I'm going
[00:11:21.320]
to click the title here reference
[00:11:27.950]
and now you'll see on this right hand
[00:11:29.979]
side here, we have quite a few different filters
[00:11:32.048]
that I like to point out. So we
[00:11:34.250]
have a great search within option if we want to do that,
[00:11:36.739]
if we're kind of looking at a broad
[00:11:38.830]
topic here. So of course, first nations is
[00:11:40.859]
pretty broad. I can use my subjects
[00:11:43.330]
filter here
[00:11:45.029]
to get a little bit more specific.
[00:11:47.379]
So what I want to learn about first nations,
[00:11:51.779]
the nice way to kind of narrow that down if you do see
[00:11:54.210]
a large results page like this one again is
[00:11:56.259]
476 reference
[00:11:59.048]
articles, which is probably too many
[00:12:01.139]
for your users to kind of click through.
[00:12:04.090]
We also have a nice document type filter here.
[00:12:06.349]
So within kind of the overarching
[00:12:08.529]
bucket of reference, you'll see, we
[00:12:10.609]
have a couple different types of content.
[00:12:13.269]
So a topic overview,
[00:12:15.288]
cultural overview, overviews
[00:12:17.629]
about provinces or cities, overviews
[00:12:19.830]
about specific events that happen related to
[00:12:21.928]
first nations.
[00:12:23.369]
So, so this breaks down a little bit more.
[00:12:25.658]
So again, just trying to limit what
[00:12:27.759]
your users see to make sure they're getting exactly
[00:12:29.830]
what they need.
[00:12:33.469]
You see, they also have the option to limit
[00:12:35.548]
to publication title. If they have a specific
[00:12:37.710]
title in mind,
[00:12:38.859]
they'll find that right there.
[00:12:42.759]
Now, let's go ahead and click into a resource so
[00:12:44.849]
we can take a or
[00:12:46.168]
into an article so we can take a look at the
[00:12:48.320]
different tools that we have available.
[00:12:50.639]
Um I'm just going to click on the first
[00:12:52.889]
one treatment of first nations people.
[00:12:58.418]
Now, when I click here, I have quite a few things
[00:13:00.479]
I want to point out first, it's going to be
[00:13:02.629]
on this right hand side is our explore
[00:13:04.830]
panel. So again, this is something that's
[00:13:06.928]
going to help your users as they move their learning
[00:13:09.210]
forward, you'll see they can find more articles
[00:13:11.538]
that are like this one and then they can also
[00:13:13.690]
take a look at some different related
[00:13:15.769]
subjects. So just like we had those related
[00:13:18.168]
topics back on the topic page,
[00:13:20.418]
we're still trying to find different related
[00:13:22.690]
bits of information for your users. Even when
[00:13:24.779]
they've clicked all the way down to this specific
[00:13:27.250]
document
[00:13:31.619]
towards the top of this page, you'll see, we have a nice
[00:13:33.808]
toolbar here. So the first tool I want to point
[00:13:36.029]
out is going to be our citation generator
[00:13:38.719]
and this is a great way to get buy in if you have
[00:13:41.029]
users, especially if you're working at an
[00:13:43.369]
academic institution or at a school.
[00:13:45.918]
You're gonna get users who just prefer to
[00:13:48.000]
use Google. You know, they don't want to dig
[00:13:50.250]
into an actual resource like this.
[00:13:52.479]
This is a great way to get by in because
[00:13:54.500]
they can just copy and paste the citation.
[00:13:56.840]
They don't need to build their own. They don't need to go to
[00:13:59.109]
a citation generator and you know, watch a bunch
[00:14:01.158]
of commercials while they wait for the citation to build.
[00:14:03.639]
They can just hit the citation tool,
[00:14:06.548]
they can copy and paste it wherever they want it to go.
[00:14:09.009]
You'll see it does come. We have the option
[00:14:11.090]
for Mlaap, a Chicago or Harvard
[00:14:13.399]
versions.
[00:14:14.869]
And we also have the citation at the very bottom
[00:14:17.009]
of each of our articles as well. So you'll see that
[00:14:19.139]
listed here. And again, I can
[00:14:21.308]
copy and paste it wherever I want to go.
[00:14:23.538]
I can also export it. So if I want to save
[00:14:26.000]
this, just the citation to
[00:14:28.119]
my drive or if I'm using something like noodle tools
[00:14:30.330]
or easy, I can send the citation
[00:14:32.340]
over using these different tools here.
[00:14:39.940]
Now, moving forward from this citation tool,
[00:14:42.149]
we also have this nice sent to option
[00:14:44.229]
here. So if users want to hold on to this
[00:14:46.359]
article, maybe they want to read it later,
[00:14:48.489]
you know, they have time to to properly
[00:14:50.609]
read through it or maybe they want to share
[00:14:52.849]
it with a colleague or with a fellow student.
[00:14:55.129]
You know, they're working together as a group and they want
[00:14:57.190]
to share it out,
[00:14:58.969]
they can hit our send to button and they can choose to
[00:15:01.090]
send it over to one of their drives. So if they're using
[00:15:03.479]
a Google Drive or a Microsoft Onedrive
[00:15:05.759]
or they can choose to email it to themselves
[00:15:07.830]
or others. Great way to hold on
[00:15:09.899]
to this document. What's great is when it goes over to
[00:15:12.019]
one of these drives, it's saved there
[00:15:14.099]
for them. Always so they won't need to
[00:15:16.190]
worry about it disappearing, you know, after a few months
[00:15:18.408]
or something like that, it will always be there listed
[00:15:20.798]
for them and it does actually go over
[00:15:22.918]
to a folder we create with the name of the resource.
[00:15:25.359]
So for this, it'll be
[00:15:27.808]
Gale In Context: Canada they'll have the document pop right into
[00:15:29.960]
that folder.
[00:15:31.000]
And then anytime in the future they choose
[00:15:33.190]
to send other documents from Gill in context,
[00:15:35.408]
Canada to their drive, it's going
[00:15:37.639]
to all land in that one folder,
[00:15:40.298]
which is a really nice organi
[00:15:42.320]
organizational filter. You know, they're not going to have
[00:15:44.500]
100 different random loose
[00:15:46.599]
articles flying around in their
[00:15:48.719]
drives.
[00:15:50.479]
In addition to sending it over to a driver, emailing
[00:15:52.869]
it, they also have the option to download it to their
[00:15:54.889]
desktop or they could print
[00:15:56.928]
it or we have this nice get link feature here
[00:15:59.099]
as well.
[00:16:00.099]
And you'll notice as you start to click through this resource
[00:16:02.379]
on your own, this get link button follows
[00:16:04.820]
you along to a lot of different pages. So
[00:16:06.960]
you'll have this get link capability
[00:16:09.590]
on individual documents. You'll also
[00:16:11.739]
have it on topic pages and you'll also
[00:16:13.899]
have it on search results pages.
[00:16:16.178]
So this guy link is a great way to save a very
[00:16:18.739]
specific section
[00:16:20.960]
within the resource. So if you find a topic page,
[00:16:23.158]
you're really interested in, maybe you want to share
[00:16:25.288]
that out with your users,
[00:16:27.349]
you hit that get link button, you can copy and paste
[00:16:29.570]
this persistent URL wherever you want it to go
[00:16:32.109]
and it's always going to be there and ready for them.
[00:16:35.119]
Same for search results page. If you run a search
[00:16:37.320]
and you kind of want your users to see the content
[00:16:39.678]
that you pulled, maybe you ran a search, you filtered it
[00:16:41.750]
out quite a bit and you really just pulled forward
[00:16:43.889]
a lot of great content that you want them to see,
[00:16:46.359]
use the gett link and they'll be able to access
[00:16:48.428]
that information as well. It's a really nice feature
[00:16:50.788]
found here within this resource
[00:16:54.619]
and the sent to download
[00:16:56.710]
and print tools are also actually found
[00:16:58.979]
down here under the title of the article.
[00:17:01.538]
You'll see, we have our Google Drive and our Microsoft
[00:17:03.849]
Onedrive buttons here, our email download
[00:17:06.239]
and print these do the same thing.
[00:17:08.588]
We just included it in two different places to
[00:17:10.630]
make sure it's discovered one place
[00:17:12.880]
or another.
[00:17:14.269]
And I didn't mention before, but I will mention here
[00:17:16.459]
when you do choose to send a document over
[00:17:18.578]
to a drive or print it or get it out of the resource,
[00:17:21.000]
any other way it does retain the
[00:17:23.078]
citation along with it.
[00:17:25.130]
So if they are planning on using this for some
[00:17:27.140]
sort of research project or something, they're working on
[00:17:29.699]
saving the document is going to save the citation
[00:17:31.959]
for them as well.
[00:17:37.318]
Now let's talk a little bit about our
[00:17:40.029]
our um excuse me, accessibility
[00:17:42.608]
tools, lost my train of thought there for
[00:17:44.630]
a second. So our first one is going to be
[00:17:46.848]
our translate option. You'll see I have
[00:17:48.920]
the option to translate to quite a few different languages.
[00:17:52.118]
So I can choose whichever is going to work for me and translate
[00:17:54.318]
my article.
[00:17:55.689]
I can also choose to set an interface language.
[00:17:58.348]
And what that does you see when I do that? It actually pops
[00:18:00.519]
up at the top of the page.
[00:18:02.229]
It lets me switch over.
[00:18:04.739]
Let's switch over to French here.
[00:18:07.199]
Let let me switch over all
[00:18:09.219]
of my tools and my navigation
[00:18:11.239]
here you'll see are now in French. So
[00:18:13.390]
it helps me kind of walk through this resource
[00:18:16.430]
and know where all of the buttons are
[00:18:18.719]
and what they mean.
[00:18:20.170]
And I can change that at any time either by going back
[00:18:22.338]
to my translate button
[00:18:24.269]
or by hitting at the very top in this gray
[00:18:26.519]
bar here. This drop down
[00:18:28.539]
option. I'm going to change it back today
[00:18:30.709]
to English.
[00:18:33.868]
And what's great is you if your users do translate
[00:18:36.019]
the platform. So all of the buttons and navigation
[00:18:38.630]
that translation will follow them throughout
[00:18:40.739]
the session. So they'll always have navigation
[00:18:43.318]
in whatever language they need and they will
[00:18:45.390]
need to translate each individual
[00:18:47.578]
document to their language, but they'll
[00:18:49.588]
have the navigation. So they'll be able to see where to do
[00:18:51.769]
that. In
[00:18:54.170]
addition to our translate. We also have the option
[00:18:56.269]
to increase or decrease the font size here.
[00:18:59.598]
Next to that, we have some great display option
[00:19:01.660]
features to kind of customize
[00:19:03.719]
this even more. So we can change
[00:19:05.759]
the background color of this resource.
[00:19:08.430]
We can change the font, you'll see you have a few different font
[00:19:10.588]
options here and we can also change the line,
[00:19:12.979]
the letter and the word spacing.
[00:19:15.328]
So we're really trying to make this as accessible
[00:19:17.358]
as possible. Your users will really be able to go
[00:19:19.449]
in and fine tune exactly how
[00:19:21.618]
they see the resource, how they interact with the resource.
[00:19:24.799]
And once they set their preference, this will follow
[00:19:26.809]
them along throughout the session as well. So
[00:19:29.118]
anytime they click into a new document, they're not going
[00:19:31.229]
to have to just to change their display
[00:19:33.459]
settings every time.
[00:19:35.000]
it'll follow them along as long as they stay
[00:19:37.009]
signed in.
[00:19:39.328]
I'm going to go back to my default here
[00:19:41.358]
though. So
[00:19:44.019]
right next to our display options, we also
[00:19:46.049]
have our listen tool and that's going
[00:19:48.078]
to let your users have the article read
[00:19:50.170]
to them and it does read in whatever
[00:19:52.239]
language your users translated to.
[00:19:54.328]
So if they translate it to French or to Spanish
[00:19:56.989]
or any other language, if you hit this listen
[00:19:59.189]
button here, it's going to read to them in that language.
[00:20:02.160]
What's great is it does read through the entire document,
[00:20:04.660]
how to read the title if there is
[00:20:06.689]
an image with a caption attached, it's going
[00:20:08.719]
to read the caption of the image for them as well.
[00:20:11.029]
So they're really going to get everything
[00:20:13.039]
included within this resource
[00:20:15.390]
just through listening to it.
[00:20:18.078]
I'm going to hit this briefly and just pause it because
[00:20:20.160]
I'm not sharing my sound. But
[00:20:21.920]
you'll see when I hit that. I get this nice little
[00:20:24.029]
pop up listed here. If I click
[00:20:26.088]
on this, the hamburger icon, which is the menu,
[00:20:28.430]
you'll see. I also have the option to download an
[00:20:30.449]
MP3 of this. So if
[00:20:32.539]
I want to take it with me, maybe listen to it
[00:20:34.689]
while I'm waiting for the bus or
[00:20:36.789]
while I'm sitting at home, I can download
[00:20:39.098]
an MP3 here and have this document read
[00:20:41.259]
to me at any time as well.
[00:20:45.769]
Now, I do have one more tool to show off
[00:20:47.779]
before we end our session today. That's
[00:20:49.920]
going to be our highlights and notes. So if
[00:20:52.118]
your user, it really needs to kind of
[00:20:54.279]
hone in on the content they're looking at and
[00:20:56.439]
kind of
[00:20:57.900]
remind themselves of the important bits of
[00:20:59.959]
the text. They can just click and drag over
[00:21:02.108]
anything they think is important.
[00:21:04.328]
You see, it gives them a little pop up, they
[00:21:06.459]
can choose their color, they can
[00:21:08.568]
also add a note if they want to. So maybe,
[00:21:10.578]
you know, use this for my project or this is
[00:21:12.650]
really interesting or maybe they're sending it to
[00:21:15.640]
a coworker. And what do you think about
[00:21:17.660]
this is what they know what they add. So they could just
[00:21:19.759]
kind of highlight everything
[00:21:22.140]
they want to highlight
[00:21:26.479]
as many colors as they want.
[00:21:28.289]
And this is session based. So if your users
[00:21:30.368]
do decide to use this tool before
[00:21:33.000]
they sign off. So before they close out of their browser
[00:21:35.719]
or before they sign out, do the inactivity.
[00:21:38.118]
So before they walk away from their computer, they're
[00:21:40.348]
going to want to get this out of the platform
[00:21:42.509]
and they can do that in any of the ways we just looked at
[00:21:44.519]
so they can send it over to their drives and
[00:21:46.618]
it'll hold on to the the highlights,
[00:21:49.078]
they can also email it, download
[00:21:51.289]
it or print it. And again, it will hold
[00:21:53.519]
on to those highlights.
[00:21:55.338]
And if they did take any notes attached
[00:21:57.489]
to any of these highlights, they'll appear at the bottom of
[00:21:59.608]
the page as well.
[00:22:02.818]
And we do keep all of our highlighted notes in
[00:22:04.920]
a separate section here. If you take a look at our toolbar
[00:22:07.358]
at the very top. Again, our last button
[00:22:09.449]
here is the status is highlighted notes.
[00:22:12.449]
You see when I click into this, it's showing me what I've highlighted
[00:22:14.858]
on this page.
[00:22:16.118]
I can also go to view all highlights and
[00:22:18.140]
notes here.
[00:22:19.989]
And when I do that, you'll see, I get this nice organized
[00:22:22.209]
page here. It's showing me the article
[00:22:24.449]
I highlighted in.
[00:22:25.910]
Show me the color I used as well as the actual
[00:22:28.259]
text that I highlighted.
[00:22:31.259]
You'll see here. I can also add notes if
[00:22:33.279]
I want to.
[00:22:34.279]
Um And I'd be able to edit any notes that I
[00:22:36.289]
already took here. And then the very
[00:22:38.439]
bottom of this page will also have a running
[00:22:40.618]
bibliography. So if I'm going through
[00:22:42.709]
and kind of doing my research, maybe I highlighted
[00:22:44.969]
four or five different articles, I highlighted
[00:22:46.989]
bits of information. Those are all going
[00:22:49.029]
to appear here on this page and I'll
[00:22:51.150]
get my running bibliography as well.
[00:22:53.858]
What's great about this is I can also send this
[00:22:55.890]
over to my drives. So if instead of
[00:22:57.969]
sending over, you know, the five articles, I just
[00:23:00.140]
want to send over something that's a little more concise,
[00:23:02.828]
I can send this highlights and notes option
[00:23:05.848]
and it does retain the
[00:23:07.880]
link here to each of the articles I highlighted.
[00:23:10.150]
So if I do want to take a look back at the full article,
[00:23:12.910]
even if I don't have that article in my
[00:23:14.920]
drive, I can choose to hit this
[00:23:17.118]
hyperlink and be launched right over.
[00:23:19.739]
So this is another great way to
[00:23:21.779]
get content out of the resource and save
[00:23:23.979]
it for your users.
[00:23:29.009]
Now, we're getting close to the end of our time here.
[00:23:31.199]
So I do want to give you some wrap up information.
[00:23:33.779]
But before I do, are there any questions

[00:25:08.709]
Bye bye now.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to today's
[00:00:07.269]
Gale 101 session focused
[00:00:09.550]
on Gale In Context: Canada.
[00:00:11.630]
My name is Amber Winters and I am your training
[00:00:13.810]
consultant for the day.
[00:00:15.978]
So for our agenda first, we'll overview
[00:00:18.449]
the resource. So what you can kind of expect
[00:00:20.870]
the basics out of the resource, we'll
[00:00:23.109]
then talk about some of the key content. You're going to
[00:00:25.129]
find that your users will find and be able to utilize.
[00:00:28.199]
But we'll spend the majority of the time actually walking
[00:00:30.339]
through the platform. So you can get a feel of
[00:00:32.359]
all of the different workflows on all the different
[00:00:34.368]
tools available. And at the very
[00:00:36.429]
end of the session, if I don't get everyone's
[00:00:38.590]
questions answered as we move forward, we'll
[00:00:40.810]
have some time for any questions you have and I'll have some
[00:00:43.060]
follow up contact information for you as
[00:00:45.250]
well. So let's
[00:00:47.329]
go ahead and just dive right in here.
[00:00:49.408]
Oops.
[00:00:50.908]
So Gale In Context: Canada
[00:00:51.779]
is designed
[00:00:54.149]
specifically for kind of the secondary
[00:00:56.359]
level users in up. So we're talking
[00:00:58.548]
about middle school and high school
[00:01:00.560]
users as well as undergraduate students
[00:01:02.598]
and adult learners who are looking for information
[00:01:05.058]
directly related to Canada and kind of
[00:01:07.180]
current events and history and things like that
[00:01:09.519]
related to Canada.
[00:01:11.620]
Some of the key content you're going to find within
[00:01:13.689]
this resource include topics that fall
[00:01:15.948]
into government, business, geography,
[00:01:18.430]
history, and social issues. So this is
[00:01:20.519]
a really well rounded resource
[00:01:22.838]
that's trying to give you
[00:01:24.528]
a cross curricular look at
[00:01:26.629]
really everything Canada. So we've really tried
[00:01:28.750]
to pull in art
[00:01:31.209]
science, literature, social studies,
[00:01:33.609]
you'll find quite a bit of information here in this resource.
[00:01:37.079]
And in addition to all of the great content, we have,
[00:01:39.099]
we also have a lot of different tools that we're going to look
[00:01:41.239]
through today that are going to support learning.
[00:01:43.489]
So this is especially helpful if we're talking about
[00:01:46.129]
excuse me,
[00:01:48.299]
secondary level students, they may need
[00:01:50.338]
to take notes and make highlights.
[00:01:52.579]
We can translate articles, have them
[00:01:54.730]
read aloud, we can change the font,
[00:01:57.159]
size, the font type, the colors
[00:01:59.540]
of the documents. We have full citations.
[00:02:02.168]
We're also integrated with both Google
[00:02:04.448]
and Microsoft. So users can
[00:02:06.588]
always save content they find within the resource
[00:02:08.689]
that they think may be interesting.
[00:02:12.069]
So let's go ahead and take a look at some of the different
[00:02:14.300]
content types we have available here.
[00:02:16.500]
So the first one is probably the one you would expect
[00:02:18.899]
the most to find a resource like this
[00:02:20.969]
and that's going to be a reference articles. So
[00:02:23.058]
that's giving both overview and detailed information,
[00:02:25.819]
just specifically about the facts around
[00:02:27.960]
a topic. So we're not getting into opinion
[00:02:30.569]
pieces or anything like that. This is really
[00:02:32.719]
just providing the facts
[00:02:34.889]
behind whatever your user is learning
[00:02:37.028]
about. So this is a nice place for
[00:02:39.088]
them to start and kind of get their foundation about
[00:02:41.118]
whatever they're planning on, on researching
[00:02:43.219]
and learning about.
[00:02:45.300]
We also have a huge selection of news and magazines
[00:02:48.360]
and these are up to date many publications
[00:02:51.439]
imported daily
[00:02:53.419]
and it's going to help them kind of bring the real
[00:02:55.710]
world to whatever they're learning about. So not only
[00:02:57.808]
are they getting the the straight facts, I guess
[00:02:59.960]
you could call them from reference articles, but
[00:03:02.050]
they can also see how the topics they're learning about
[00:03:04.338]
and they're exploring are kind of
[00:03:06.399]
playing out in the real world. So they're
[00:03:08.520]
going to get that really up to date
[00:03:10.729]
news and magazine content.
[00:03:13.990]
We also include multimedia content here.
[00:03:16.159]
So I'm talking things like videos, images,
[00:03:18.778]
audio files, a lot of which are podcasts.
[00:03:21.389]
So these are going to help your learners who are maybe not as
[00:03:23.460]
comfortable with reading, who prefer to get their
[00:03:25.538]
information in other ways. You know, they
[00:03:27.750]
like to just listen or they like to watch,
[00:03:30.133]
they'll find content in here to support
[00:03:32.455]
them as well. So again, trying to come from
[00:03:34.524]
that well rounded side of things,
[00:03:36.764]
they're not only going to get the textual
[00:03:38.774]
information you would expect from a context resource,
[00:03:41.514]
but they're also going to get multimedia content
[00:03:43.925]
really to supplement, to support them.
[00:03:47.399]
Although also within this resource, we have
[00:03:49.500]
a pretty substantial collection
[00:03:51.550]
of biographies. So if you have
[00:03:53.669]
individuals looking for famous Canadian
[00:03:56.069]
figures, both historical and contemporary
[00:03:58.750]
and all different kind of
[00:04:01.419]
walks of life, all different, different
[00:04:04.038]
[00:04:07.110]
careers and things like that, you'll find individuals
[00:04:09.379]
in this resource. So people who are in the government,
[00:04:12.300]
scientists and doctors,
[00:04:14.538]
people in pop pop culture. So like
[00:04:16.928]
actors and musicians as well
[00:04:19.069]
as individuals in literature and art.
[00:04:21.189]
So really anyone you're looking for, you'll
[00:04:23.220]
find quite a bit of content within
[00:04:25.699]
Gale In Context: Canada
[00:04:28.230]
we also include creative works in here. So
[00:04:30.399]
if users are looking for full
[00:04:32.509]
text plays or short stories or
[00:04:35.040]
things like poems, we have
[00:04:37.178]
those within this resource as well. And again, they are
[00:04:39.329]
full text. So users will be
[00:04:41.338]
able to read through the entire poem or
[00:04:43.420]
whatever it is to kind of get the full
[00:04:45.509]
feeling of that work. And a lot
[00:04:47.678]
of these works have a little blurbs at the top.
[00:04:50.220]
So we're giving a little bit of context about
[00:04:52.709]
you know, maybe the time frame, this was written, maybe
[00:04:54.819]
a little bit of information about the author.
[00:04:57.079]
So we're getting a little bit of that in this
[00:04:59.149]
resource as well attached to those creative works.
[00:05:04.119]
And finally, we do have academic journals in
[00:05:06.149]
this resource. So if you're working with
[00:05:08.160]
undergraduate students or
[00:05:10.389]
you know, higher level secondary students who are
[00:05:12.470]
ready to dive into the more academic level
[00:05:14.699]
of information, you're going to find that information
[00:05:17.028]
here in this platform. Also great for your
[00:05:19.149]
adult learners who may be coming in trying to learn
[00:05:21.189]
a little bit.
[00:05:22.278]
They'll find that's listed
[00:05:24.309]
on our platform as well.
[00:05:29.149]
Now I'm going to spend the rest of my time actually
[00:05:31.309]
digging into this resource. So you can see how it works,
[00:05:33.730]
kind of get a feel for everything. While
[00:05:35.939]
I switch over, if there are any questions, please
[00:05:38.100]
put those into the Q and A box and I will
[00:05:40.178]
be able to answer them for you.
[00:05:45.480]
No, almost got signed up.
[00:05:48.358]
OK? So this is a home page here of Galen
[00:05:50.699]
context, Canada. And if you have any
[00:05:52.809]
other in context resources,
[00:05:54.829]
this most likely looks pretty familiar to
[00:05:56.970]
you. We've kind of laid out all of them
[00:05:59.199]
to look very, very similar to make it easy
[00:06:01.309]
for your users to navigate. But
[00:06:03.428]
if you haven't seen it in context resource previously,
[00:06:05.889]
let me kind of show you how this is set up here.
[00:06:08.480]
So scrolling down right here, kind of towards
[00:06:10.660]
the middle of the page. We pull out some topics
[00:06:13.059]
of interest. So we have three pulled out right now. We
[00:06:15.100]
have wildfires, Drake
[00:06:17.439]
and missing and murdered indigenous women.
[00:06:19.699]
So we try to
[00:06:21.858]
make these kind of
[00:06:23.879]
more diverse options. So, you
[00:06:25.988]
know, something related to science, something related
[00:06:28.028]
to kind of pop culture and then something that's
[00:06:30.389]
a little more of a social issue that we're trying
[00:06:32.569]
to pull attention to. So these
[00:06:34.829]
generally will change monthly depending on what's going
[00:06:37.079]
on. If something particularly newsworthy
[00:06:39.399]
happens, a lot of times that will be bumped
[00:06:41.410]
forward into our topics of interest just
[00:06:43.730]
because we want to make that content as simple
[00:06:46.108]
as possible for users to access.
[00:06:48.879]
But they can easily click into any of these if they find
[00:06:51.000]
it interesting, you know, if they clicked in and didn't know exactly
[00:06:53.350]
what they wanted to look for. This is a nice
[00:06:55.420]
place for them to start.
[00:06:58.509]
And then underneath that, we have this little
[00:07:00.939]
browse topics section here
[00:07:03.250]
and each of these topics you'll see they're kind of broken
[00:07:05.588]
up based on topic type.
[00:07:07.660]
So like business and economics has been pulled together,
[00:07:10.100]
history, science and health,
[00:07:12.379]
cultures and religion, social
[00:07:14.399]
issues kind of pulled them all together
[00:07:16.759]
here. And each of these topics are
[00:07:18.910]
actually is something that we call topic pages
[00:07:21.358]
that we've curated for your users.
[00:07:23.619]
So they're the most used and most
[00:07:25.738]
studied topics within this resource.
[00:07:28.678]
What we do is we curate a page where we provide them
[00:07:30.790]
with an overview and then we organize
[00:07:32.949]
all of our related content for them. So it's kind
[00:07:35.069]
of like a one stop shop to find information.
[00:07:37.588]
So as opposed to running a basic search,
[00:07:40.220]
they'll be able to click into these topic pages
[00:07:42.588]
kind of learn from there.
[00:07:45.678]
You see, I do have the option to browse all topic
[00:07:47.928]
pages. If I like, you'll see right now, there are 1333
[00:07:51.798]
topics found within this resource.
[00:07:54.459]
And I do like to mention here, these are not,
[00:07:56.548]
you know, an exhaustive list of every single thing that
[00:07:58.629]
you're going to find within
[00:08:00.869]
Gale In Context: Canada this is just
[00:08:03.040]
the topic pages. So if your user
[00:08:05.069]
is maybe looking for something that isn't
[00:08:07.100]
as studied or as popular
[00:08:09.209]
within this resource, they could run a basic
[00:08:11.488]
search and they're still going to find content. It just won't
[00:08:13.629]
be in the topic page kind of layout.
[00:08:17.850]
So let's scroll back up to the top here and
[00:08:19.869]
see what a topic page actually looks like.
[00:08:22.928]
So I'm just going to run a basic search, which of
[00:08:25.000]
course is what a lot of users just prefer to do.
[00:08:27.459]
I'm going to run a search for first nations today.
[00:08:30.298]
And when I start typing, I want you to notice
[00:08:34.168]
and my predictive text here, see the
[00:08:36.239]
1st 1234 here.
[00:08:38.479]
actually have images attached
[00:08:40.529]
to them here and they're listed as topic guides or
[00:08:42.788]
a work guide. So this is going to be those
[00:08:44.928]
topic pages that I mentioned. So
[00:08:47.269]
your users, even if they're running a search can
[00:08:49.450]
still access those curated pages that's
[00:08:51.570]
going to make it a little bit easier for them to find content.
[00:08:54.609]
So again, I said we're gonna look at first nations.
[00:08:56.849]
So you'll see. I have a topic page here.
[00:08:59.139]
So I'm going to click into that.
[00:09:01.259]
Ok, so now here we are on our topic
[00:09:03.418]
page for first nations. So I mentioned
[00:09:05.788]
at the top we're going to have just an overview
[00:09:08.048]
about the background of whatever this topic is.
[00:09:10.479]
And we have topics on our topic pages
[00:09:12.710]
on everything. So first
[00:09:14.759]
nations, we have biographical topic pages.
[00:09:17.158]
So they're getting an overview about the person.
[00:09:19.599]
We have tablet pages, about social issues,
[00:09:21.629]
about scientific ideas about
[00:09:23.989]
provinces, geography,
[00:09:26.158]
things like that. So our tablet pages
[00:09:28.320]
are pretty broad, but they're always going
[00:09:30.379]
to have the overview at the top of the page
[00:09:32.830]
where I can hit, read more if I like
[00:09:36.408]
kind of read through and get the basics here.
[00:09:39.649]
I can use my breadcrumb trail of the top to
[00:09:41.678]
get back to that First Nations topic page
[00:09:43.969]
or I can hit my back button in the browser.
[00:09:52.239]
So once I get back to my topic page here, I'll be able
[00:09:54.389]
to scroll down
[00:09:57.629]
and we have this nice on this page section.
[00:10:00.359]
So this is showing all of the different content
[00:10:02.428]
types we have related to first nations
[00:10:04.500]
and how many of each we have here? So
[00:10:06.538]
you see, we have 476
[00:10:08.779]
reference articles. We've got biographies,
[00:10:11.489]
plot summaries, primary sources,
[00:10:13.979]
magazines, Creative works,
[00:10:16.379]
quite a few academic journals. Again,
[00:10:18.558]
if you're working with those older aged
[00:10:20.599]
learners
[00:10:23.259]
and then scrolling down, you're going to see all of those
[00:10:25.649]
different content types listed here in these different
[00:10:27.678]
content buckets.
[00:10:30.379]
So I can click into any of these buckets and see
[00:10:32.719]
every entry related to that. So if I want to see all
[00:10:34.859]
of the biographies, I can do that or
[00:10:36.989]
I can click directly into one of these
[00:10:39.029]
biographies of interest,
[00:10:41.168]
I can also scroll down to the bottom here.
[00:10:43.558]
This is a nice feature. I like to point out
[00:10:47.168]
at the bo the very bottom here. I have related
[00:10:49.678]
topics. So if I'm ready to
[00:10:51.690]
kind of move my learning forward, maybe
[00:10:53.840]
I don't know my next search term or maybe
[00:10:56.009]
I just don't really know where I want to go.
[00:10:57.869]
This related topics, topics
[00:11:00.408]
section is really nice because these are also
[00:11:02.450]
topic pages. So you can really
[00:11:04.519]
start to kind of move forward just by pointing and
[00:11:06.538]
clicking and getting to these new topic
[00:11:08.619]
pages.
[00:11:11.619]
Let's go ahead and scroll up here.
[00:11:14.678]
Then I'm going to just click into my reference
[00:11:16.908]
articles so we can take a look at some of the filtering
[00:11:19.158]
options we have available. So I'm going
[00:11:21.320]
to click the title here reference
[00:11:27.950]
and now you'll see on this right hand
[00:11:29.979]
side here, we have quite a few different filters
[00:11:32.048]
that I like to point out. So we
[00:11:34.250]
have a great search within option if we want to do that,
[00:11:36.739]
if we're kind of looking at a broad
[00:11:38.830]
topic here. So of course, first nations is
[00:11:40.859]
pretty broad. I can use my subjects
[00:11:43.330]
filter here
[00:11:45.029]
to get a little bit more specific.
[00:11:47.379]
So what I want to learn about first nations,
[00:11:51.779]
the nice way to kind of narrow that down if you do see
[00:11:54.210]
a large results page like this one again is
[00:11:56.259]
476 reference
[00:11:59.048]
articles, which is probably too many
[00:12:01.139]
for your users to kind of click through.
[00:12:04.090]
We also have a nice document type filter here.
[00:12:06.349]
So within kind of the overarching
[00:12:08.529]
bucket of reference, you'll see, we
[00:12:10.609]
have a couple different types of content.
[00:12:13.269]
So a topic overview,
[00:12:15.288]
cultural overview, overviews
[00:12:17.629]
about provinces or cities, overviews
[00:12:19.830]
about specific events that happen related to
[00:12:21.928]
first nations.
[00:12:23.369]
So, so this breaks down a little bit more.
[00:12:25.658]
So again, just trying to limit what
[00:12:27.759]
your users see to make sure they're getting exactly
[00:12:29.830]
what they need.
[00:12:33.469]
You see, they also have the option to limit
[00:12:35.548]
to publication title. If they have a specific
[00:12:37.710]
title in mind,
[00:12:38.859]
they'll find that right there.
[00:12:42.759]
Now, let's go ahead and click into a resource so
[00:12:44.849]
we can take a or
[00:12:46.168]
into an article so we can take a look at the
[00:12:48.320]
different tools that we have available.
[00:12:50.639]
Um I'm just going to click on the first
[00:12:52.889]
one treatment of first nations people.
[00:12:58.418]
Now, when I click here, I have quite a few things
[00:13:00.479]
I want to point out first, it's going to be
[00:13:02.629]
on this right hand side is our explore
[00:13:04.830]
panel. So again, this is something that's
[00:13:06.928]
going to help your users as they move their learning
[00:13:09.210]
forward, you'll see they can find more articles
[00:13:11.538]
that are like this one and then they can also
[00:13:13.690]
take a look at some different related
[00:13:15.769]
subjects. So just like we had those related
[00:13:18.168]
topics back on the topic page,
[00:13:20.418]
we're still trying to find different related
[00:13:22.690]
bits of information for your users. Even when
[00:13:24.779]
they've clicked all the way down to this specific
[00:13:27.250]
document
[00:13:31.619]
towards the top of this page, you'll see, we have a nice
[00:13:33.808]
toolbar here. So the first tool I want to point
[00:13:36.029]
out is going to be our citation generator
[00:13:38.719]
and this is a great way to get buy in if you have
[00:13:41.029]
users, especially if you're working at an
[00:13:43.369]
academic institution or at a school.
[00:13:45.918]
You're gonna get users who just prefer to
[00:13:48.000]
use Google. You know, they don't want to dig
[00:13:50.250]
into an actual resource like this.
[00:13:52.479]
This is a great way to get by in because
[00:13:54.500]
they can just copy and paste the citation.
[00:13:56.840]
They don't need to build their own. They don't need to go to
[00:13:59.109]
a citation generator and you know, watch a bunch
[00:14:01.158]
of commercials while they wait for the citation to build.
[00:14:03.639]
They can just hit the citation tool,
[00:14:06.548]
they can copy and paste it wherever they want it to go.
[00:14:09.009]
You'll see it does come. We have the option
[00:14:11.090]
for Mlaap, a Chicago or Harvard
[00:14:13.399]
versions.
[00:14:14.869]
And we also have the citation at the very bottom
[00:14:17.009]
of each of our articles as well. So you'll see that
[00:14:19.139]
listed here. And again, I can
[00:14:21.308]
copy and paste it wherever I want to go.
[00:14:23.538]
I can also export it. So if I want to save
[00:14:26.000]
this, just the citation to
[00:14:28.119]
my drive or if I'm using something like noodle tools
[00:14:30.330]
or easy, I can send the citation
[00:14:32.340]
over using these different tools here.
[00:14:39.940]
Now, moving forward from this citation tool,
[00:14:42.149]
we also have this nice sent to option
[00:14:44.229]
here. So if users want to hold on to this
[00:14:46.359]
article, maybe they want to read it later,
[00:14:48.489]
you know, they have time to to properly
[00:14:50.609]
read through it or maybe they want to share
[00:14:52.849]
it with a colleague or with a fellow student.
[00:14:55.129]
You know, they're working together as a group and they want
[00:14:57.190]
to share it out,
[00:14:58.969]
they can hit our send to button and they can choose to
[00:15:01.090]
send it over to one of their drives. So if they're using
[00:15:03.479]
a Google Drive or a Microsoft Onedrive
[00:15:05.759]
or they can choose to email it to themselves
[00:15:07.830]
or others. Great way to hold on
[00:15:09.899]
to this document. What's great is when it goes over to
[00:15:12.019]
one of these drives, it's saved there
[00:15:14.099]
for them. Always so they won't need to
[00:15:16.190]
worry about it disappearing, you know, after a few months
[00:15:18.408]
or something like that, it will always be there listed
[00:15:20.798]
for them and it does actually go over
[00:15:22.918]
to a folder we create with the name of the resource.
[00:15:25.359]
So for this, it'll be
[00:15:27.808]
Gale In Context: Canada they'll have the document pop right into
[00:15:29.960]
that folder.
[00:15:31.000]
And then anytime in the future they choose
[00:15:33.190]
to send other documents from Gill in context,
[00:15:35.408]
Canada to their drive, it's going
[00:15:37.639]
to all land in that one folder,
[00:15:40.298]
which is a really nice organi
[00:15:42.320]
organizational filter. You know, they're not going to have
[00:15:44.500]
100 different random loose
[00:15:46.599]
articles flying around in their
[00:15:48.719]
drives.
[00:15:50.479]
In addition to sending it over to a driver, emailing
[00:15:52.869]
it, they also have the option to download it to their
[00:15:54.889]
desktop or they could print
[00:15:56.928]
it or we have this nice get link feature here
[00:15:59.099]
as well.
[00:16:00.099]
And you'll notice as you start to click through this resource
[00:16:02.379]
on your own, this get link button follows
[00:16:04.820]
you along to a lot of different pages. So
[00:16:06.960]
you'll have this get link capability
[00:16:09.590]
on individual documents. You'll also
[00:16:11.739]
have it on topic pages and you'll also
[00:16:13.899]
have it on search results pages.
[00:16:16.178]
So this guy link is a great way to save a very
[00:16:18.739]
specific section
[00:16:20.960]
within the resource. So if you find a topic page,
[00:16:23.158]
you're really interested in, maybe you want to share
[00:16:25.288]
that out with your users,
[00:16:27.349]
you hit that get link button, you can copy and paste
[00:16:29.570]
this persistent URL wherever you want it to go
[00:16:32.109]
and it's always going to be there and ready for them.
[00:16:35.119]
Same for search results page. If you run a search
[00:16:37.320]
and you kind of want your users to see the content
[00:16:39.678]
that you pulled, maybe you ran a search, you filtered it
[00:16:41.750]
out quite a bit and you really just pulled forward
[00:16:43.889]
a lot of great content that you want them to see,
[00:16:46.359]
use the gett link and they'll be able to access
[00:16:48.428]
that information as well. It's a really nice feature
[00:16:50.788]
found here within this resource
[00:16:54.619]
and the sent to download
[00:16:56.710]
and print tools are also actually found
[00:16:58.979]
down here under the title of the article.
[00:17:01.538]
You'll see, we have our Google Drive and our Microsoft
[00:17:03.849]
Onedrive buttons here, our email download
[00:17:06.239]
and print these do the same thing.
[00:17:08.588]
We just included it in two different places to
[00:17:10.630]
make sure it's discovered one place
[00:17:12.880]
or another.
[00:17:14.269]
And I didn't mention before, but I will mention here
[00:17:16.459]
when you do choose to send a document over
[00:17:18.578]
to a drive or print it or get it out of the resource,
[00:17:21.000]
any other way it does retain the
[00:17:23.078]
citation along with it.
[00:17:25.130]
So if they are planning on using this for some
[00:17:27.140]
sort of research project or something, they're working on
[00:17:29.699]
saving the document is going to save the citation
[00:17:31.959]
for them as well.
[00:17:37.318]
Now let's talk a little bit about our
[00:17:40.029]
our um excuse me, accessibility
[00:17:42.608]
tools, lost my train of thought there for
[00:17:44.630]
a second. So our first one is going to be
[00:17:46.848]
our translate option. You'll see I have
[00:17:48.920]
the option to translate to quite a few different languages.
[00:17:52.118]
So I can choose whichever is going to work for me and translate
[00:17:54.318]
my article.
[00:17:55.689]
I can also choose to set an interface language.
[00:17:58.348]
And what that does you see when I do that? It actually pops
[00:18:00.519]
up at the top of the page.
[00:18:02.229]
It lets me switch over.
[00:18:04.739]
Let's switch over to French here.
[00:18:07.199]
Let let me switch over all
[00:18:09.219]
of my tools and my navigation
[00:18:11.239]
here you'll see are now in French. So
[00:18:13.390]
it helps me kind of walk through this resource
[00:18:16.430]
and know where all of the buttons are
[00:18:18.719]
and what they mean.
[00:18:20.170]
And I can change that at any time either by going back
[00:18:22.338]
to my translate button
[00:18:24.269]
or by hitting at the very top in this gray
[00:18:26.519]
bar here. This drop down
[00:18:28.539]
option. I'm going to change it back today
[00:18:30.709]
to English.
[00:18:33.868]
And what's great is you if your users do translate
[00:18:36.019]
the platform. So all of the buttons and navigation
[00:18:38.630]
that translation will follow them throughout
[00:18:40.739]
the session. So they'll always have navigation
[00:18:43.318]
in whatever language they need and they will
[00:18:45.390]
need to translate each individual
[00:18:47.578]
document to their language, but they'll
[00:18:49.588]
have the navigation. So they'll be able to see where to do
[00:18:51.769]
that. In
[00:18:54.170]
addition to our translate. We also have the option
[00:18:56.269]
to increase or decrease the font size here.
[00:18:59.598]
Next to that, we have some great display option
[00:19:01.660]
features to kind of customize
[00:19:03.719]
this even more. So we can change
[00:19:05.759]
the background color of this resource.
[00:19:08.430]
We can change the font, you'll see you have a few different font
[00:19:10.588]
options here and we can also change the line,
[00:19:12.979]
the letter and the word spacing.
[00:19:15.328]
So we're really trying to make this as accessible
[00:19:17.358]
as possible. Your users will really be able to go
[00:19:19.449]
in and fine tune exactly how
[00:19:21.618]
they see the resource, how they interact with the resource.
[00:19:24.799]
And once they set their preference, this will follow
[00:19:26.809]
them along throughout the session as well. So
[00:19:29.118]
anytime they click into a new document, they're not going
[00:19:31.229]
to have to just to change their display
[00:19:33.459]
settings every time.
[00:19:35.000]
it'll follow them along as long as they stay
[00:19:37.009]
signed in.
[00:19:39.328]
I'm going to go back to my default here
[00:19:41.358]
though. So
[00:19:44.019]
right next to our display options, we also
[00:19:46.049]
have our listen tool and that's going
[00:19:48.078]
to let your users have the article read
[00:19:50.170]
to them and it does read in whatever
[00:19:52.239]
language your users translated to.
[00:19:54.328]
So if they translate it to French or to Spanish
[00:19:56.989]
or any other language, if you hit this listen
[00:19:59.189]
button here, it's going to read to them in that language.
[00:20:02.160]
What's great is it does read through the entire document,
[00:20:04.660]
how to read the title if there is
[00:20:06.689]
an image with a caption attached, it's going
[00:20:08.719]
to read the caption of the image for them as well.
[00:20:11.029]
So they're really going to get everything
[00:20:13.039]
included within this resource
[00:20:15.390]
just through listening to it.
[00:20:18.078]
I'm going to hit this briefly and just pause it because
[00:20:20.160]
I'm not sharing my sound. But
[00:20:21.920]
you'll see when I hit that. I get this nice little
[00:20:24.029]
pop up listed here. If I click
[00:20:26.088]
on this, the hamburger icon, which is the menu,
[00:20:28.430]
you'll see. I also have the option to download an
[00:20:30.449]
MP3 of this. So if
[00:20:32.539]
I want to take it with me, maybe listen to it
[00:20:34.689]
while I'm waiting for the bus or
[00:20:36.789]
while I'm sitting at home, I can download
[00:20:39.098]
an MP3 here and have this document read
[00:20:41.259]
to me at any time as well.
[00:20:45.769]
Now, I do have one more tool to show off
[00:20:47.779]
before we end our session today. That's
[00:20:49.920]
going to be our highlights and notes. So if
[00:20:52.118]
your user, it really needs to kind of
[00:20:54.279]
hone in on the content they're looking at and
[00:20:56.439]
kind of
[00:20:57.900]
remind themselves of the important bits of
[00:20:59.959]
the text. They can just click and drag over
[00:21:02.108]
anything they think is important.
[00:21:04.328]
You see, it gives them a little pop up, they
[00:21:06.459]
can choose their color, they can
[00:21:08.568]
also add a note if they want to. So maybe,
[00:21:10.578]
you know, use this for my project or this is
[00:21:12.650]
really interesting or maybe they're sending it to
[00:21:15.640]
a coworker. And what do you think about
[00:21:17.660]
this is what they know what they add. So they could just
[00:21:19.759]
kind of highlight everything
[00:21:22.140]
they want to highlight
[00:21:26.479]
as many colors as they want.
[00:21:28.289]
And this is session based. So if your users
[00:21:30.368]
do decide to use this tool before
[00:21:33.000]
they sign off. So before they close out of their browser
[00:21:35.719]
or before they sign out, do the inactivity.
[00:21:38.118]
So before they walk away from their computer, they're
[00:21:40.348]
going to want to get this out of the platform
[00:21:42.509]
and they can do that in any of the ways we just looked at
[00:21:44.519]
so they can send it over to their drives and
[00:21:46.618]
it'll hold on to the the highlights,
[00:21:49.078]
they can also email it, download
[00:21:51.289]
it or print it. And again, it will hold
[00:21:53.519]
on to those highlights.
[00:21:55.338]
And if they did take any notes attached
[00:21:57.489]
to any of these highlights, they'll appear at the bottom of
[00:21:59.608]
the page as well.
[00:22:02.818]
And we do keep all of our highlighted notes in
[00:22:04.920]
a separate section here. If you take a look at our toolbar
[00:22:07.358]
at the very top. Again, our last button
[00:22:09.449]
here is the status is highlighted notes.
[00:22:12.449]
You see when I click into this, it's showing me what I've highlighted
[00:22:14.858]
on this page.
[00:22:16.118]
I can also go to view all highlights and
[00:22:18.140]
notes here.
[00:22:19.989]
And when I do that, you'll see, I get this nice organized
[00:22:22.209]
page here. It's showing me the article
[00:22:24.449]
I highlighted in.
[00:22:25.910]
Show me the color I used as well as the actual
[00:22:28.259]
text that I highlighted.
[00:22:31.259]
You'll see here. I can also add notes if
[00:22:33.279]
I want to.
[00:22:34.279]
Um And I'd be able to edit any notes that I
[00:22:36.289]
already took here. And then the very
[00:22:38.439]
bottom of this page will also have a running
[00:22:40.618]
bibliography. So if I'm going through
[00:22:42.709]
and kind of doing my research, maybe I highlighted
[00:22:44.969]
four or five different articles, I highlighted
[00:22:46.989]
bits of information. Those are all going
[00:22:49.029]
to appear here on this page and I'll
[00:22:51.150]
get my running bibliography as well.
[00:22:53.858]
What's great about this is I can also send this
[00:22:55.890]
over to my drives. So if instead of
[00:22:57.969]
sending over, you know, the five articles, I just
[00:23:00.140]
want to send over something that's a little more concise,
[00:23:02.828]
I can send this highlights and notes option
[00:23:05.848]
and it does retain the
[00:23:07.880]
link here to each of the articles I highlighted.
[00:23:10.150]
So if I do want to take a look back at the full article,
[00:23:12.910]
even if I don't have that article in my
[00:23:14.920]
drive, I can choose to hit this
[00:23:17.118]
hyperlink and be launched right over.
[00:23:19.739]
So this is another great way to
[00:23:21.779]
get content out of the resource and save
[00:23:23.979]
it for your users.
[00:23:29.009]
Now, we're getting close to the end of our time here.
[00:23:31.199]
So I do want to give you some wrap up information.
[00:23:33.779]

[00:23:35.880]
