Duration: 45 Minutes
[00:00:04.000]
So welcome to your training session for the Florida Electronic Library. Today's training is Alzheimer's disease and dementia support.

[00:00:09.000]
Gale resources. My name is Tammi Burke. I'm your Gale Senior Trainer.

[00:00:17.000]
Any questions that you have throughout the session? Please feel free to use the Q&A box. So an introduction to this session, we will focus today on resources and reliable content within your FL, Gale resources to support library patrons and library programming on Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

[00:00:38.000]
And this topic actually came up. I was usually when I when I attend FLA I have the opportunity to facilitate a training section and I always look forward to facilitating that training session.

[00:00:50.000]
Well this year I was actually working in the booth and I had a group of librarians come up and talk to me and my colleague a little bit more and I started asking questions because they were talking about programming at their library.

[00:01:02.000]
They're all from Sarasota. So if anybody is on the line from Sarasota, hello, that's where this idea came from because they do what was shared with me is they're doing a lot of programming for baby boomers in their library and one of the types of programming they do is focus on Alzheimer's.

[00:01:20.000]
So I was talking about how. Actually I was down there for FLA and I have family members that live in that area and stop by to say hello to them.

[00:01:31.000]
I'm on my way out to the conference. There in Florida and was found out that my uncle was just diagnosed with dementia.

[00:01:40.000]
So right before I had that conversation with this lovely librarian, I had found out that information too. So since then, I have really been diving into all of our Gale resources.

[00:01:50.000]
I shared with my aunt when she's ready that I have all kinds of great content through FL that she can access.

[00:01:53.000]
She does have a bit of a medical background. They actually provide in home health care for folks. And so they're very familiar with patients that they've taken care of through their agency.

[00:02:01.000]
With dementia or Alzheimer's. So, but that conversation I had led me to share this information with our contact at the Florida Electronic Library and she thought it was a brilliant idea.

[00:02:22.000]
So this is how this training. Session happens. So these conversations that we have when you're talking to someone at Gale, just know that this information is being shared.

[00:02:32.000]
She happened to be talking to one of the trainers, so that really helped out too. But when we ask for, you know, information on the survey after the session.

[00:02:41.000]
Feel free to leave something in the comments. If you have programming coming up and you think, okay, I think FL resources will work well with here, but I'm not really sure how.

[00:02:49.000]
Put that in that comment section because I do share that information with our fabulous contact at FL and we talk about, okay, here's some trainings that might be helpful.

[00:02:59.000]
This is what I'm hearing and then she always has great information. That she's hearing. So that's how this training session came about.

[00:03:06.000]
And now I get to share with you 4 different resources that you can utilize within your library with your patrons and medical professionals and students that are accessing this information from your library.

[00:03:19.000]
So let me share with you the agenda today. We are going to start with accessing your FL resources and an overview of the 4 resources we will be touching into today.

[00:03:31.000]
I will be talking and sharing with you how to search and browse content, the different tools and features that are available within your Gil resources and workflow tools.

[00:03:34.000]
So even tools where you can share information. With your library programming. Questions, training materials, and contact information I will share at the end of today's training session.

[00:03:52.000]
If we have any K 12 or higher ed folks on the line, all of this will also apply to you.

[00:03:54.000]
But again, this session was came about because of a conversation with a public librarian, but I have taken into account those medical students.

[00:04:07.000]
I actually have one that is starting this fall in my household. And she's starting PA school.

[00:04:13.000]
So I know the conversations that happen. I have, you know, my kids themselves are all involved in the sciences, some way, shape, or form, and specifically with medical too.

[00:04:24.000]
So I'll bring all of that into our conversation today and then also train you on the resources themselves.

[00:04:31.000]
To access the FVL resources, if you aren't already using your direct URLs for your library, you can always go through the Florida Electronic Library website or the I should say portal and all of the resources are there.

[00:04:44.000]
The nice thing is if you have your users accessing through the FL site and your public library, then the usage will still roll up to your public library.

[00:04:58.000]
I do suggest though if you have the opportunity to add the direct URLs for all of your individual resources that you do so because then you'll for sure no matter where they're at and they're logging in they'll be able to, that usage will roll up.

[00:05:12.000]
So maybe they're vacationing further down. In the state or further up in the state and they are still accessing resources that usage will still roll up to your account.

[00:05:23.000]
And I can share with you at the end where you can go to find that information. And also contact.

[00:05:28.000]
You have a contact person at Gale that can help support that. If you're going to the site, the FL site, this is what it will look like and you'll find all of your Gale resources here.

[00:05:38.000]
You are very easy can search by subject or if you want to go directly into your ebooks you can take any of those paths.

[00:05:48.000]
The resources we are going to talk about today to support Alzheimer's and dementia.

[00:05:53.000]
We have reference articles, medical journals, periodicals, multimedia, all of available within your Gale resources.

[00:06:00.000]
The first one we are going to talk about is Gale Health and Wellness. And this resource, and I'm going to give you a little bit of a what to use when kind of background.

[00:06:08.000]
So this is a great resource because it does provide full-text medical journals, magazines, reference works, multimedia, but it's perfect for researchers at all levels.

[00:06:15.000]
So we consider this more of a consumer health resource. So it really helps your patrons no matter what level they're at to be able to access information.

[00:06:28.000]
It's a good one too to recommend to those users coming into your library. For if they've met with their doctor or they're about to meet with their doctor or their caregivers that this is a great resource to have that.

[00:06:42.000]
Reliable, authoritative content. But again, at any researching level. So, any user level can access this.

[00:06:48.000]
Think speaking more to that high school on up. Let's talk about it that way. But it does cover a current disease and disorders.

[00:06:54.000]
But also alternative medical practices. So you have both available within health and wellness. Another resource is from our G one file product family and our one file product.

[00:07:05.000]
Family is rich in all of our periodical content, academic journals, magazines, newspapers.

[00:07:16.000]
Now this resource is really great. For students, your medical students, it's also knowledgeable for anyone that has that consumer health knowledge background.

[00:07:27.000]
So for example, my aunt who comes from that background, this would be a great resource for her because she's already understanding, dementia and what type of dementia my uncle has and she can find that information and she's comfortable with those medical journals.

[00:07:38.000]
And that type of information. So this would be a great one. For her, but also for all healthcare professionals.

[00:07:49.000]
It has more than 2,500 periodicals reference books hundreds of videos demonstrating medical procedures and even life surgeries.

[00:07:59.000]
Another great one for our nursing professionals or student nurses is Gale One File Nursing and Allied Health.

[00:08:07.000]
This resource provides access to authoritative content, including full-text titles that are cited and signal.

[00:08:13.000]
Supporting specialized care treatment and patient management. It is updated daily like all of your gale resources and it can really help nursing professionals that are already working in the field along with.

[00:08:21.000]
Nursing students. And then the last resource we are going to go into today is Gale ebooks.

[00:08:33.000]
So you have a collection of ebooks and the collection of ebooks is health and medicine. They're available for you and I'm going to show you Fel's account because they have done a lot of customization to all of your e-books as a great example too for you all to see.

[00:08:51.000]
So there is a collection, a custom collection that's been curated, titled Health and Medicine.

[00:08:58.000]
And but what Gale ebooks does is it will cross search through all of your ebooks.

[00:09:03.000]
So not only the ones you have from FL, but you may have a collection in your own library that you've purchased from Gale and it cross searches through all of those ebooks at once.

[00:09:12.000]
It's very easy for users to find credible information quickly so they are spending more time looking into or diving into that information rather than searching for it, which is what we want them to do.

[00:09:21.000]
It's unlimited simultaneous access, so there's no check in or check out. There's no check-in or checkout. There's no holds.

[00:09:31.000]
All of the great tools and features that you have in all of the great tools and features that you have in all of your GREAT tools and features that you have in all of your, GIL resources such as the translate feature and the listen option, along with a few others I'm going to share with you today are all available in your ebooks too.

[00:09:43.000]
And then if you are looking for Mark records, there are Mark records available with your Gale ebooks so you can add them to your Discovery system there.

[00:09:52.000]
So, or your catalogs. So, and I'll share that with you again at the end of the session where you can go to find all that information if you aren't already familiar with your Gale support site.

[00:10:02.000]
Let me know if there are any questions anytime throughout the session. But with that, I am going to jump into the resources.

[00:10:10.000]
So let me share my screen here. We have Gale Health and Wellness. I already opened it up to save us a little bit of time.

[00:10:18.000]
I'm gonna cover some of the basics here that you're going to see in your Gale resources regarding tools and features.

[00:10:24.000]
And then we will dive into the content. Now remember, Gale Health and Wellness. Is for that consumer health.

[00:10:30.000]
So for any researcher at any level can access information here. I also really like it for Anyone that if we have any K 12 folks on the line today for for high school for those health act classes.

[00:10:47.000]
CTE courses. It's also great for Phys that you have available, but also for counselors.

[00:10:54.000]
There's great information in here. On anxiety and stress and depression and all things that students are dealing with too.

[00:11:01.000]
So it can be a really helpful. Helpful to those counselors. At the higher ed level, you have many courses that this resource can be used for, but this might be for your, more your first and second year students where health and medicine would really be geared for your medical students or those that are pre-med that that resource would be more helpful to them.

[00:11:20.000]
Along with our healthcare professionals. So. Keep in mind that it's available also available for counselors or therapists at the higher ed level and then for our public libraries you can see how this resource can be utilized with your patrons based on the content that I shared and what I've shared so far but I always like to address all 3 areas so everyone knows that this resource can be included in the ones that you

[00:11:48.000]
share. So let's talk a little bit about this resource and what we're seeing here on the homepage.

[00:11:54.000]
You do have the ability to translate the navigational tools. So up here at the top, anytime you see this little translate icon, then you can translate all of these navigational tools.

[00:12:05.000]
And I'm gonna select the. Open this up real quick and you can see we're at over 34 languages here.

[00:12:08.000]
So if I wanted to change the language to let's choose You can see my navigation has now been changed to Portuguese.

[00:12:23.000]
So it helps my users navigate through the resource. And this is separate then when I'm at the document level, I have the ability to translate the entire document too.

[00:12:35.000]
And we have even more languages available there. So I am signed into Google, but your users can also sign in to Microsoft.

[00:12:43.000]
And they can send information directly from the resource into Google or Microsoft. For any K 12 folks. We are integrated with Google, so that means Google Classroom is available and you can send information directly from the resource into Google Classroom.

[00:12:59.000]
Any folks using canvas or schoology, we also have our D 2 Li know is used a lot at the higher ed level.

[00:13:03.000]
We also have integrations with those learning management systems. If you're like, I have no idea what she's talking about right now, then it doesn't apply to you.

[00:13:15.000]
But you may use lip guides and I'll talk to you about using lip guides in your library and how you can use the get link tool to share information on your live guide or on your library website.

[00:13:21.000]
For library programming. Okay, so there's some tools and features. Of course we have the basic search and advanced search and we're going to touch into these today.

[00:13:35.000]
On the homepage you do are going to see topics of interest and those scroll here at the top.

[00:13:40.000]
Now remember your resources are being updated all day through out the day. I actually this one just hit home with me.

[00:13:48.000]
One of my my youngest is getting ready to leave for college and he needed his meningitis B vaccination.

[00:13:49.000]
And so I took him in to get that done. And then you can see here's the third.

[00:14:00.000]
The third one, which I have 2 daughters, so very familiar with and myself very familiar with that topic.

[00:14:06.000]
But today we're focusing on Alzheimer and dementia. So not one of our scrolling topics at the top, but you can see we do have these subject categories below and they're curated collections of information.

[00:14:18.000]
So if I were looking for everything related the chemo to chemotherapy, I can see in the drugs category chemotherapy I could quickly jump to that topic page.

[00:14:29.000]
Or if I'm looking at mental health and I want to go to eating. Disorders, I have topic pages and what topic pages are and let me click into eating disorders.

[00:14:39.000]
Lot of our topic pages in health and wellness will have an image in a essay overview or they might just have a collection of information.

[00:14:46.000]
And you're going to see both of those options today. And what they are is curated collections of information.

[00:14:48.000]
Here based on a singular topic. So you will find that available in Gale Health and Wellness.

[00:14:59.000]
And with that, we are actually going to do a basic search. And we are going to start with the term dementia.

[00:15:01.000]
And I want to show you when we have a topic page related to a search term, search assist will open up.

[00:15:13.000]
And it will be at the top of our list. So I can see here I have a top page available for dementia.

[00:15:19.000]
It's bolded and it's at the top of my list. So I'm going to select that.

[00:15:23.000]
Now this one doesn't have an image in an essay overview. Alzheimer's does, but it's still curated collection of information.

[00:15:29.000]
And we do have a topic. Page with all this information available. As you can see under my suggested topics, there's Alzheimer's disease.

[00:15:40.000]
So we do have a topic page with an image and essay overview available there. Doesn't matter if we have an image and essay overview.

[00:15:48.000]
No, but it's great to have them if they are available. You can still share this. Curated content for your library.

[00:15:53.000]
So if you wanted to include this. With your library programming on your website or again, if you have course work that you're sharing.

[00:16:03.000]
Maybe you're a higher ed librarian and you work directly with your faculty members. Same with our K 12 folks.

[00:16:09.000]
You have the get link tool. And Get Link provides a persistent URL back to any spat within the resource, even including this topic page.

[00:16:18.000]
So this large amount of information, the easiest way to share it with everyone is to utilize the get link tool and then from there folks can explore all of this content.

[00:16:29.000]
Now we are going to actually use one of our filters. Over here on the right hand side. So you can see I have all of my content types available here.

[00:16:37.000]
Over 10,000 academic journals, but I have some images, a lot of video content, magazines, news reference and audio files.

[00:16:46.000]
Now I'm going to specifically search with in. So filtering my results down. I can search by subject.

[00:16:55.000]
I can search by publication title and I can multi select these. You have that search bar. At the top.

[00:17:02.000]
Document type. So if I were looking for a report or I wanted a clinical report, I have that information.

[00:17:08.000]
Maybe I'm just looking for brief articles. I can find that here and the list goes on. I have publication date, so if I want to limit it to just the last year, I want the most recent information, I can do that.

[00:17:21.000]
Sections are available and this would apply to our news category. And then search within. I especially like search within because it is a quick way to drill down all of my content even on a topic page.

[00:17:37.000]
So I don't have to. If I go to back up here and do a basic search, it's going to take me to everything.

[00:17:43.000]
I want to focus on dementia as it's related to Louis body.

[00:17:49.000]
And submit. Now I have filtered down all of that content. Remember our academic journals were over 10,000.

[00:17:58.000]
We're still at a thousand, but are less than 10,000. So it has filtered down that content for me and I can see here I have reference magazines and I if I scroll down you can see I have videos and images all available.

[00:18:14.000]
Same thing that I'm seeing here in my content type. Again, I can use the get link tool to share that information.

[00:18:21.000]
If I wanted to click into one of the articles like this one and this is in reference, now a lot of our reference will come from you'll see this is coming from the Gale Encyclopedia of neurological disorders.

[00:18:32.000]
Here's one on genetic disorder. So a lot of this content is coming from your encyclopedias.

[00:18:36.000]
Including alternative medicine. So I have 35 reference articles here. I can click directly into one by clicking on the title and it would take me directly to that article.

[00:18:57.000]
As I scroll down, you can see I have a definition. I have a description. This one has demographics and key terms, causes and symptoms.

[00:19:05.000]
So each article will be different or document will be different. Again, I also have multimedia available here that can be really helpful.

[00:19:10.000]
I can see that this. Document type is a topic overview so it's going to be a lot of information but it's an overview of this particular topic and I can see the length of this article too.

[00:19:27.000]
Again, if I wanted to share that, I could print it or I could send it, use a get link, but I also have a few other options here.

[00:19:35.000]
So if I wanted to keep this article, I could send it. To my Google Drive, my Onedrive, or email, and I can email it to myself or anyone else.

[00:19:46.000]
If I would like to download this article directly on my computer, I could do that. Or I can also print it off.

[00:19:52.000]
So all those options are available. I also have them here. These are quick send options. So being that this is sometimes our longer articles, even at this one, when I get to this point, questions to ask your doctor, great text feature that we have here.

[00:20:07.000]
At this point, if I wanted to send it, my contextual toolbar floats down the page with me.

[00:20:10.000]
So I can click the Sun to and send it to my Google Drive. Now what will happen is a folder will be created titled Gale Health and Wellness.

[00:20:22.000]
The very first time I send any information to either Google or Microsoft, I am asked for permission. I have to, I have to agree to permissions first.

[00:20:32.000]
So I need to verify. It's okay. For this resource to send information directly into my Google Drive.

[00:20:41.000]
And that, like I said, what happens is the folders created titled Gale Health and Wellness and any time I'm in this resource, all of my content will land in that singular folder.

[00:20:51.000]
As soon as I close out of this resource, then that connection is severed. It's not like we keep any of that information.

[00:20:57.000]
Privacy is extremely important to us and safety of our users. So as soon as I leave that connection is suffered and I would have to sign back in again the next time I use this resource.

[00:21:10.000]
I'm on my own computer here, my work computer, so it remembers me. So that saves me a lot of time because I do this so often.

[00:21:13.000]
And you might your users may see that too. Every single one of our documents is does have a full source citation attached and you do have the ability before you send it if you need APA Chicago or Harvard instead of MLA ninth that it's that it's defaulted to, you can change that source citation and then send it to.

[00:21:40.000]
Google Onedrive email, download or print. My citation tool up here at the top. Those same options.

[00:21:46.000]
Here it will just. Take the citation and I've changed it to APA on the document so it automatically changed it here too.

[00:21:56.000]
So it's smart enough to know that, okay, she needs APA seventh edition so it changed it for me.

[00:22:02.000]
If I need or I have the option to use noodle tools or easy bib or at the higher end level rough works is used a lot.

[00:22:04.000]
I can Google Drive One Drive. All are available. I can. Export the citation to any of these locations.

[00:22:16.000]
I can also select the citation, copy and paste it wherever I like. All those options are available, but know that no matter what you will have a source citation attached to the bottom of any anything available in gale resources including any of your multimedia.

[00:22:35.000]
Okay, so we talked about some tools and features. Let me do another basic search. And I'm going to continue to build your knowledge.

[00:22:41.000]
So I can do a basic search from any spat within the resource. I just click into my basic search bar and this time let's switch gears and we're gonna Choose allzheimer's disease.

[00:22:52.000]
Which as we know these are related. And you can see here this one has an image and an essay overview.

[00:22:58.000]
I want to talk to you a little bit about these. The essay overview is a great place to get started.

[00:23:00.000]
These are handwritten by our Editors at Gale, our content editors at Gale, you can see this is one of our publications.

[00:23:10.000]
So we have a lot, we do publish a lot of our own content, but we also work with fantastic publishers around the world.

[00:23:12.000]
So we are a global company. So you are getting content from around the world and that includes academic journals, magazines, newspapers, reference works.

[00:23:19.000]
The whole bit, all of our multimedia too. But this one is written all of our essay overviews are written by folks at Gale.

[00:23:31.000]
And again, they are our specialists in this topic area so that who is who is writing this information.

[00:23:37.000]
But this gives you a little bit of an overview, causes and symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, stages.

[00:23:44.000]
So if this is something, let's say, a user met with their primary care physician and now they are going to meet with a neurologist and they want more information.

[00:23:50.000]
This is a great starting point. For them to take a look at this information.

[00:24:01.000]
As they work through with the diagnosis does come through and they want additional information. This is a great one that they can even bookmark.

[00:24:09.000]
You know, this bookmark tool is available for our users too, but one that they can bookmark share this information with.

[00:24:17.000]
Family members. Maybe they have caregivers that they're already working with so that they have more information about this topic.

[00:24:26.000]
Now, let's do something a little different. Let's say I am looking for, I'm going to click into one of my content types, reference.

[00:24:36.000]
And I want to filter down by subject. And I want to filter to caregivers. So again, Ivan Alzheimer's Disease topic page.

[00:24:46.000]
I just clicked into one of the content types and the subject I want to filter down to is caregivers.

[00:24:52.000]
Now it will filter down all of my reference content, but also my magazine, videos, audio, news, and academic journals.

[00:25:01.000]
Specifically to Alzheimer's disease and caregivers. So that filter your results can be a really powerful tool to quickly find information.

[00:25:10.000]
And here's great information for caregivers. Maybe you have a caregiver that wants to vacation.

[00:25:17.000]
With the family member that has Alzheimer's. And you can see some great tips that are available here.

[00:25:25.000]
Some information from the Alzheimer's Association. Like there is a, for example, identification.

[00:25:34.000]
Items so they have an identification bracelet or clothing tags that you can get through the Alzheimer's Association for safe return.

[00:25:40.000]
So these are things to think of and consider before you vacation. So just a helpful document, not only that.

[00:25:48.000]
But we have some great tools to support accessibility. So. If I need to translate this article, it's in English, but I need to translate it.

[00:25:57.000]
Here's that little translate icon. I can open this up, click my dropdown menu, and I am at over 50, or I'm sorry, over 40 languages here that I can translate the text into.

[00:26:09.000]
And it'll translate the text on the page. I can decrease or increase the font size.

[00:26:17.000]
To read it here. Our resources are all mobile responsive. So even if I were accessing this from my cell phone, I could increase that font size and read the article.

[00:26:27.000]
And if you have not been on, if you've been on a site that's not bubble responsive and you're scrolling left and right and it's very infuriating.

[00:26:34.000]
To do that, you don't have to worry about that. Like I said, we even P down all the way to the tools adjusting for a cell phone.

[00:26:43.000]
So any type of device you're on, we will automatically adjust. We also have display options. Now this is something as soon as I click into my very first article, I can.

[00:26:55.000]
Set this up and it'll stick with me throughout my session. So I have different colors. I can use and this as you can see a little bit easier on the eyes.

[00:27:04.000]
I picked the gray background. I have different fonts I can choose. So open sands is the one that we're in, but maybe I need open dyslexic.

[00:27:13.000]
I also can increase the line, letter, and word spacing.

[00:27:19.000]
And now, wherever I go. During the session throughout this resource, this will stay with me this the way I've set it up.

[00:27:28.000]
So much ready to go for me. But as soon as I leave this session, then it will clear all of that information off.

[00:27:35.000]
Or if I wanted to open this back up, click default settings. It's in the bottom left there.

[00:27:40.000]
Click done. Then it'll take me back to that setting. There's another feature I wanna share with you and our tools to support accessibility.

[00:27:48.000]
And that's our listen feature. I can listen to the text being read aloud to me. But before I do, I want to share with you under this little gear.

[00:27:57.000]
I wanna make sure, let me make sure it's turned off, it is. Okay, so let me play it.

[00:28:03.000]
And I will move a little closer. To share new experiences and see interesting places. So you can see that the sentence and the word are being highlighted.

[00:28:13.000]
And the sentence is in green and the word is that it's reading is in blue. What I can do under this little settings gear, and this is another feature that will stick with me throughout my training session.

[00:28:29.000]
Every time I open the Listen button, anything I've done here, so I can change the word color, the sentence color, even the text color.

[00:28:35.000]
What I want to share with you is the enhanced text visibility. So I can turn that on. Sometimes with these type this type of information, it might be going a little too fast and I want it read aloud to me, but I need it a little slower.

[00:28:51.000]
Now it really slows it down. So be prepared for that. But you do have that option available.

[00:28:52.000]
Now I turned on the enhanced text visibility right here in the center of the page. And when I click play, If you are the caretaker for a person with it pulls out that text onto the page.

[00:29:09.000]
So if you have a user that needs this tool, it is available. And again, this will stick with me throughout my session no matter where I go, as soon as I click that listen button, it will open this up and I'll have that enhanced text visibility feature available.

[00:29:25.000]
I also have the ability to download this as an MP 3. So as soon as you open that listen button, there's a lot of things that you have available.

[00:29:33.000]
If I have selected, let's say, Spanish and then click the Listen button, it will read the text allowed to me in Spanish.

[00:29:41.000]
Now, we are at over 40 languages here for the listen feature, the translate option, we have, I think we're at 24 languages.

[00:29:51.000]
They're the ones that are utilized the most. So again, Spanish here, click listen. It's going to read the document to me in Spanish.

[00:29:59.000]
Let me turn off that enhanced text visibility.

[00:30:04.000]
And then as soon as I close this. It removes all of that highlighting. Alright, let me know if there are any questions about this resource.

[00:30:10.000]
What I'd like to do is go into our next resource. I've covered a lot of the tools here so now I can focus more on the content.

[00:30:21.000]
There's one more tool I want to share with you and one of our search options today. So again, health and wellness.

[00:30:28.000]
Great for consumers health for your patrons coming in. Researchers at any level. Now we're going to move into Gale One file health and medicine.

[00:30:39.000]
Remember health and medicine is more for our medical students. Also our researchers that have that medical background of some sort and then also our medical professionals.

[00:30:52.000]
So with health and wellness, you can see it looks a little different. It's coming from our one file family.

[00:30:58.000]
All of our one file resources. Our focus more on that periodical content, but you will find some multimedia here too.

[00:31:07.000]
Just not as much as you would in. Health and wellness. So this is focused more on the, again, periodical content.

[00:31:10.000]
Academic journals, magazines, newspapers. So in this resource, let's start with.

[00:31:21.000]
Alzheimer's disease.

[00:31:27.000]
And I'm going to use search assist to help me out here.

[00:31:31.000]
And it takes me to all of my content. As you could see, academic journals I'm at 573,000 journals.

[00:31:39.000]
Well, I might want to drill that down or maybe I want the most current so that I do have some options.

[00:31:46.000]
Remember I showed you publication date, so if I wanted to filter down all of my content to the past year I could.

[00:31:53.000]
If I still wanted to stick with that. Demic journals, but I wanted the most recent, I have a sort by feature.

[00:31:59.000]
So I can sort by the newest content.

[00:32:04.000]
And it will share with me this one was. We're having some 2024 show up here.

[00:32:07.000]
At the top of our list also. So we have some annuals that have gone out. Now with academic journals, you will find that You know, sometimes they're quarterly, sometimes they're annual, but you do have that ability to filter by newest for every single section.

[00:32:27.000]
So even our newspaper let's say news articles. I'm interested in. I want to filter by newest.

[00:32:34.000]
This is coming from Hospital Business Week. Here's one from Journal and Technology and Science, Journal of Technology and Science.

[00:32:40.000]
Medical devices and surgical technology weeks. You can see the types of publications that are pulled in here, same with magazine articles.

[00:32:47.000]
I have that same option to filter. Let's go back to. To academic journals and it does reset it for relevance.

[00:32:56.000]
I do like relevance but once in a while I do like to see if I'm filtering and I want like everything from the last year then I like to use the filter your results personally but because relevance I feel like is a really strong tool and I'm able to see these articles that really apply to exactly what I'm looking for.

[00:33:09.000]
My term.

[00:33:18.000]
Now, with these articles, again, current up to date information you're finding with these, with these academic journals and what I can do is I can actually set up a search alert.

[00:33:30.000]
So in your One File Resources, your Gale One file resources, you're going to see the ability to set up a search alert.

[00:33:37.000]
After you've done a search, You see the search alert tool. There's another tool where you can set up a journal alert and I'll show you that in a moment.

[00:33:45.000]
So search alert, I can schedule an email or if I am using an RSS feed in my browser, I have that option available.

[00:33:54.000]
I click on email. I can choose. How often do I want to be notified when there's new information that's been added to Alzheimer's disease.

[00:34:02.000]
What format would I like it in? I do have to put in my birth year and then create the alert.

[00:34:07.000]
And I can be emailed that information so you can see how great this would be for any medical professionals to have this up to date information.

[00:34:15.000]
Not only that, if they have applied any filters, maybe they're just looking for reports. Or clinical reports.

[00:34:24.000]
I can apply that. And then schedule that search alert. So it will only send to me notification that new clinical reports on Alzheimer's disease have been added and send me that link so I can access the information.

[00:34:39.000]
So it's a great way to set up those search alerts. It's fantastic for our medical professionals and students.

[00:34:45.000]
To find anything new that's been added into the resource. Okay, so again, search alert is available in any of your Gale One file products.

[00:34:57.000]
So now I want to do a search on. A new drug that just on July sixth, the FDA approved.

[00:35:03.000]
I don't know if you've heard of it yet.

[00:35:08.000]
Let's.

[00:35:14.000]
To see what we have available. So we do have some. Hmm, I wonder if I filtered it if it's lying those filters.

[00:35:22.000]
Let me put it in again. Hold on real quick.

[00:35:26.000]
And it's, is how it's pronounced. I hope I'm getting that right.

[00:35:30.000]
I looked it up before the session.

[00:35:34.000]
So on July sixth, okay, yes, July sixth, the FDA approved. A drug that reduces the rate of the disease progression and also slows the cognitive and functional decline in adults with Alzheimer's disease.

[00:35:48.000]
We do have some information on that as you can see. We have something from February. If I look in my news articles though, for here we have information on the FDA and it being approved.

[00:35:56.000]
And I just, I've had more current information. I wonder why. Oh, I was in a different resource.

[00:36:06.000]
Sorry. Help the medicine, but I. With this, what I wanted to show, sorry I'm jumping all over the place here.

[00:36:12.000]
Let's go to this news article. Approvals. What I wanted to show is you have the ability to find more like this.

[00:36:21.000]
So if I'm looking into certain drugs or, possibly, new therapies, new, maybe it's, different diets that are helpful.

[00:36:27.000]
For different diseases and disorders. Then the more like this panel can really lead you down that path of finding additional content.

[00:36:44.000]
Okay. Alright, let me know if there are any questions. I just wanted to show that explore panel and the related subjects within this resource.

[00:36:54.000]
And now I want to go into our next one and that is Gale one file. Nursing and allied health.

[00:37:02.000]
I have a quick couple quick searches, but what I want to share with you are 2 different tools to find additional content.

[00:37:08.000]
So I said I'd share lots of browsing search options. Now we're going to talk about topic finder.

[00:37:15.000]
Topic Finder is a visual representation of your search results. It also looks at those top key terms.

[00:37:16.000]
So if I were to put in the term of dementia.

[00:37:28.000]
Here, these tiles are brought back. Or wheel. I have, if you can see visualization here, I have tiles or the wheel.

[00:37:37.000]
Well, options are available. It's defaulted to tiles. It's a little bit very popular.

[00:37:43.000]
So medical research, you can see some key terms. So I can drill down visually. It's interactive.

[00:37:47.000]
If I click into medical research, maybe I want a new study.

[00:37:53.000]
And here on the right hand side, I have 11 different. Documents available.

[00:38:02.000]
Maybe I'm looking at new drugs.

[00:38:09.000]
Conditions of Alzheimer's and you can see you can click around to reset that.

[00:38:13.000]
I just click this reset button or on your mouse you can use the roller ball. It'll reset it for you.

[00:38:20.000]
And I'm taken back to that visual. And again, a great way to browse through information and keywords that maybe weren't necessarily thought about when you were starting to do your research.

[00:38:32.000]
So it's a tool again that's available on the homepage, but it also lives under our advanced search tool.

[00:38:39.000]
And if you notice, advanced search always lives here under our basic search or next to our basic search. You'll see it.

[00:38:45.000]
But again, topic finder is what I just utilized. If I were to do a basic search on Oops, I spelled that wrong.

[00:38:56.000]
Sorry about that.

[00:39:02.000]
So a basic search on Louis body. Here's this top article. Differentiating. Between Louis body dementia.

[00:39:10.000]
From Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. And this article could be really helpful in understanding.

[00:39:17.000]
I've done multiple searches and found, articles exactly spelling out, okay, Louis body, this is what you're going to see.

[00:39:23.000]
And there's, there's multiple types of dementia, which I did not know and am now aware of.

[00:39:31.000]
So we have articles like that. I could do a publication search. Let me show you that. So under advanced search.

[00:39:39.000]
We have publication search. So maybe I'm looking for and I can list all my publications.

[00:39:45.000]
I have some pre limiters available, but I'm just gonna type in the term and see if we have any publications.

[00:39:53.000]
With this title and it's looking for the title. So keep that in mind.

[00:40:00.000]
And I'm just starting to type in Alzheimer.

[00:40:06.000]
And the one that I want.

[00:40:10.000]
Let me just type the whole thing in and I'll show you what it pulls back. Oh no, let's use dementia.

[00:40:18.000]
Okay, because we have dementia publication or from stage publications and we have Alzheimer's and So here are clinical interventions.

[00:40:28.000]
Translational research and clinical, clinical interventions. And I can click directly into that value. And access that information.

[00:40:38.000]
Now, let me go back. Because if this is a publication that I'm extremely interested in as a medical professional and I want to make sure I'm alerted I can create a journal Same way I can with my search alert, same idea.

[00:40:55.000]
Where I can set up an email and anytime new content is added or a new publication is added, I will get that alert in my email box.

[00:41:06.000]
So again, in your one file, I went to advanced search. Publication search. Then I search for a publication once I selected that publication that's when the tool pops up and gives me the option.

[00:41:13.000]
To create a journal alert.

[00:41:22.000]
Okay, the last area I wanted to touch into just so you are aware of what ebooks you have available.

[00:41:29.000]
And I'm using the product menu here. I'm gonna go directly to your ebook collection.

[00:41:37.000]
So again, as I mentioned, your FL administrator did all of the ebooks into custom collections.

[00:41:47.000]
So in this general collection, you will see a health and medicine. Now you have access to all of these ebooks.

[00:41:54.000]
But the custom collections on the left hand side is something that you would have to create on your own.

[00:41:59.000]
Now we have folks at Gale that can give you your library. Credentials if this is something you're interested in.

[00:42:05.000]
Again, she went in and really filtered everything through and found content and put them into these custom collections.

[00:42:12.000]
You may only want a few, you may want just as many, but it's a great guide to utilize.

[00:42:18.000]
Once I click into the collection, now my search bar changes to search within that collection. And it's going to pull in everything that she is placed in that custom collection.

[00:42:29.000]
If I were to have done a basic search from the home page, then it would pull back all of that content.

[00:42:35.000]
All of the articles related to the term that I am going to use and I'm going to use Alzheimer's.

[00:42:37.000]
And this one.

[00:42:48.000]
And you can see because I just searched through that collection, I have a hundred 46 results.

[00:42:53.000]
If I had searched through all of my e-books, it would pull back any mention of it.

[00:42:58.000]
So, So again, mere mention of that term. So keep that in mind. Now, if I do a search with NA specific collection, I'm getting more of that drilled down approach so it's easier for me as a user to dive in and find exactly what I'm looking for.

[00:43:14.000]
And as you can see on the left hand side, I'm getting a lot of results. Encyclopedia of medicine, surgery and medical.

[00:43:21.000]
Tests genetic disorders there was one here and children's health genetic disorders diets. Right?

[00:43:30.000]
And I've heard that the mine diet is really helpful with the Mediterranean diet is a part of it.

[00:43:36.000]
So I'm keeping that in mind that. Diets and food and and meditation and all of those tools are available all that type of content you're going to find in your results.

[00:43:46.000]
Including your ebooks.

[00:43:50.000]
So if I wanted to, let's click into this one. Hmm. When I am, when I click into that article, it takes me directly to that content.

[00:44:02.000]
But I do have a book view option. So in your ebooks you have, it takes you to the text.

[00:44:04.000]
The text will give you all those tools to support accessibility. So this is the text view. But I also have just to the right of my table of contents, a book view.

[00:44:19.000]
And then that takes me to. The digital version of my print book.

[00:44:25.000]
And then I have all of these great tools at the top where I can customize it. If I wanna make it 2 pages, I can zoom in and zoom out.

[00:44:33.000]
I can click and drag this content around. So if I prefer this view, I have that. Just know that my tools to support accessibility are different.

[00:44:37.000]
Because they're not there. I need they be in text view to support accessibility are different because they're not there.

[00:44:47.000]
I need they be in text view to manipulate the text but really this is a PDF. Of that.

[00:44:49.000]
E-book, but I can make it whole screen if I wanted to. If I prefer to read this way and I can tap and turn or swipe.

[00:44:58.000]
Through that content. Okay, I also can download and it will give me the download here of the document I'm on so it'll give me the PDF of this book.

[00:45:12.000]
So that's really nice with our ebooks to be able to download and get that that print copy of the book and my and I especially because I only need a section of it I didn't need the entire encyclopedia, but I wanted this section. I can do that.

[00:45:24.000]
I can download it. I can also print it off and it's going to give me that that direct source information or publication information that you're seeing here on the page.

[00:45:35.000]
Okay, let me know if there are any questions. We went through a lot of your resources. Again, the tools are the same.

[00:45:38.000]
Get link. You also have highlights and notes. So if in text view, I wanted to highlight a little bit of information.

[00:45:48.000]
I can do that by clicking and dragging over the text. I can add any notes I want.

[00:45:54.000]
I can save that. If there's a term I'm struggling with, I can highlight that term and click to find and this again just like in any e readers you have that option.

[00:46:04.000]
You have it available on any of your Gale resources. Now if I send this document to Google or Microsoft or print or download, it'll stay marked up.

[00:46:14.000]
And then any notes I've taken will live below my source citation at the bottom. I guess this is a really long document, so I don't scroll all the way down.

[00:46:23.000]
You get the idea that below that source citation, it'll turn it in. Let's say I send it to Google.

[00:46:27.000]
It turns it into a Google Doc. I have everything marked up just like I'm seeing it, except for it's in a Google Doc and then below my source citation I'll have this chunk of text in green and then any notes I've taken.

[00:46:41.000]
Okay, so a great tool to use. There's more on highlights and notes on our Gale support site that I am actually now going to share.

[00:46:44.000]
With you and talk to you about. Just so you know that you have this tool available and that is your gale support site where there are great training materials, but also all of your access URLs, your title is your mark records for your ebooks, any icons or widgets that you may need, including the contact us.

[00:47:08.000]
So if you want to talk directly to your customer success manager, maybe you want all of your direct URLs or you want to walk through all of the tools that are available on the Gale support site.

[00:47:19.000]
They can help with that. The training center, you're going to find tip sheets and short little video tutorials.

[00:47:25.000]
There's a 15 min to mastery session on how to use highlights and notes that's recorded there.

[00:47:31.000]
So we've got those, but we've got short tutorials that are 2 to 3 min long and PowerPoint training decks ready to go.

[00:47:39.000]
Scavenger hunts also available. Great marketing. So if you are, maybe this is part of your programming and you want some marketing materials for health and wellness or health and medicine.

[00:47:47.000]
We have them ready to go. We have bookmarks. We have digital assets. Great email templates, blog templates, social media posts all ready to go for you.

[00:47:59.000]
All on the Gale support site. And this link is included in your follow up email. But I also included it here on our very last slide so you can go directly to the support site.

[00:48:11.000]
It's really simple to get to it. And from there, you can either log in with your location information or if you want to send an email directly to your customer success manager, you can send that to our inbox.

[00:48:26.000]
Let us know what site you're from. And we'll make sure that they connect with you.

[00:48:27.000]
What'll happen if you log in to the support site with your location information, your customer success manager information will pop up right there on your support site and you can email them or make an appointment right on their calendar.

[00:48:43.000]
And for our public libraries, it's Kevin Teller. So K 12 and academic, it's we have different folks that cover each territory but Kevin covers all of our public libraries.

[00:48:47.000]
So, he's a great resource for you all. Training survey should pop up when you leave today's session, but if you would like to use the QR code and answer the questions on your phone, that would be great.

[00:49:02.000]
And I do share a lot of the information with, actually I share the survey results. With the folks at FL.

[00:49:09.000]
And again, in that comment section, if you're feeling support for programming that you need and you'd like some training on resources or what resources would work for this type of I'm training programming that we have.

[00:49:20.000]
Let us know because that's information. We want to make sure you all get the most out of these training sessions.

[00:49:26.000]
Again, my name is Tammi Burke. I am your senior trainer from Gale and I thank you all for spending this time with me today.
