Duration: 45 Minutes
[00:00:02.000]
Welcome to your training for the Florida Electronic Library.
[00:00:06.000]
This training session is Navigating Academic Success, Scale High School Resources. My name is Tammi Burke. I'm a senior trainer at Gale.
[00:00:14.000]
And I am looking forward to talking to you about a few different resources that you have available.
[00:00:21.000]
From the Florida Electronic Library for high school students and to support or supplement
[00:00:26.000]
the high school curriculum. Any questions that you have, please feel free to use the Q&A box.
[00:00:32.000]
We're going to start with an access and overview of the Gale resources. So I always like to share access so that you understand that you have not only the FEL,
[00:00:43.000]
site that you can go to, but you have your direct URLs and understanding why you would want to use one than the other.
[00:00:50.000]
Both are great options, and I'll explain that a little bit further. I am also going to give you an overview of the Gale resources that I've selected to cover for
[00:01:00.000]
high school, supplementing high school curriculum. And then we will be spending the majority of our time browsing and searching content, looking at the resource features and tools.
[00:01:11.000]
Again, any questions, please feel free to ask, but I will stay on this training until
[00:01:16.000]
After we end it, just in case there's any additional questions, and I will also share with you contact information. Mine and folks at Gale.
[00:01:25.000]
that you can reach out to if you need any one-on-one support.
[00:01:29.000]
To access your Florida Electronic Library resources, you can use the FEL site. It recently
[00:01:36.000]
received an update. So you will see it looks a little different if you're accessing through this point. Now I will share with you, if you utilize this with your users.
[00:01:46.000]
The usage will roll up to the nearest public library. Your users will automatically be taken right into the resources
[00:01:54.000]
But usage will roll up to the nearest public library. So keep that in mind, especially if you're coming from a school.
[00:02:00.000]
You may want to use your direct URLs because if you would like to capture that usage for your individual library.
[00:02:07.000]
That is the way to do it is to utilize those direct UR
[00:02:11.000]
for your Gale resources that you have from the Florida Electronic Library so that you can pull those usage reports
[00:02:18.000]
that you may need for your library. So keep that in mind. Both options are great options.
[00:02:24.000]
just whatever suits you.
[00:02:27.000]
Gale resources that we're going to talk about today. The first one is Gale One File High School Edition. Anything with one file in the title.
[00:02:36.000]
is periodical content. So magazines, academic journals, newspapers. There's some multimedia here.
[00:02:43.000]
But you're going to find that this is periodical and reference book content that you're going to find within this resource. It's designed
[00:02:50.000]
For our middle and high school students, it provides really more for high school, but sometimes our middle schoolers will use it.
[00:02:56.000]
Providing access to content for classroom assignments.
[00:03:00.000]
Periodical content, including, as I mentioned, magazines, journals, newspapers, reference books.
[00:03:06.000]
covers a wide range of subjects from science
[00:03:09.000]
history and literature to politics or political science, sports, and environmental studies.
[00:03:16.000]
It features full text articles from the world's leading journals and reference sources.
[00:03:21.000]
And you will find we have a low to no embargo rate.
[00:03:25.000]
So this is great because we're able to add content immediately
[00:03:30.000]
Content is being updated every day throughout the day and you'll see that in the bottom right hand corner.
[00:03:36.000]
Here on the resource, and I'll share that with you, my screenshot, obviously I grabbed it in September.
[00:03:42.000]
But it is in that bottom right-hand corner, you'll see the most current date, which is today.
[00:03:49.000]
And I'll point that out to you. And there's also detailed manual indexing available or that
[00:03:54.000]
that is done within this resource.
[00:03:57.000]
The second resource we are going to go into today is Gale Literature Lit Finder.
[00:04:02.000]
LitFinder is original literary works. You're going to find over 130,000 poems available. We also have
[00:04:11.000]
650,000 poetry citations available. So utilized a lot at that higher ed and public library. I'm not sure how much it's used in the K-12 space.
[00:04:22.000]
Those poetry citations, but it might be because you have a lot of great poetry content in your own libraries.
[00:04:29.000]
So this really can direct students to that content that you have in your library. You'll find over 11,000 short stories and novels, 4,000 essays, 2,000 speeches, over 1,300 plays.
[00:04:41.000]
You'll find inaugural speeches and so much more available within this resource, but it is your original literary works that you're going to find in Gale Literature Lit Finder.
[00:04:53.000]
You have a very large scale ebook collection, and if you're accessing your ebooks from the Florida Electronic Library site.
[00:05:01.000]
They have already been customized
[00:05:03.000]
into collections
[00:05:06.000]
for you. So I'm going to model that for you today so you can see that now that capability, if you're using your own direct URLs.
[00:05:13.000]
You are able to also create a
[00:05:16.000]
as many or as few collections as you want
[00:05:18.000]
It's very easy to do. We have great support documents on how to do that, but it is a really simple process.
[00:05:25.000]
to create your own custom collections within Gale ebooks. So today you're going to see
[00:05:30.000]
what the administrator at the Florida Electronic Library has done. And she went through the entire collection
[00:05:37.000]
and put them into different
[00:05:39.000]
custom collections. So you're going to see that today. 24 seven content available with your Gale ebooks, unlimited simultaneous access.
[00:05:48.000]
There's no holds or returns because there's no check in or check out. So unlimited access, mobile responsive site, just like
[00:05:56.000]
Your other Gale resources, all mobile responsive.
[00:05:59.000]
You'll find unlimited downloads are available. There's no restrictions on that. Intuitive search and browse feature.
[00:06:06.000]
Search option, topic finder, if you're familiar with that in your other resources, Topic Finder is also available in Gale ebooks.
[00:06:14.000]
And you can translate the text as you can in all of your other languages or other resources into over 50 languages. I believe we're at 57 now.
[00:06:23.000]
You have the text-to-speech option so you can listen to the text being read aloud.
[00:06:28.000]
It's also available to download as an MP3.
[00:06:32.000]
Again, we're mobile responsive. So if you have a user that doesn't have internet access at home, they can download it onto their device
[00:06:39.000]
and listen to it whenever they need it. Integration with Google and Microsoft and learning management systems. So you'll find that you can send content directly to Google
[00:06:50.000]
Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or put it into Google Classroom, or if you're using a learning management system such as Canvas or Schoology, we are integrated with
[00:07:00.000]
learning management systems also.
[00:07:03.000]
I want to talk to you about some of the tools that we have to support accessibility.
[00:07:08.000]
I mentioned translate when I was talking about ebooks. We can translate the text at the document level into over 50 languages, but you can also translate the interface
[00:07:20.000]
or the navigational tools
[00:07:22.000]
into 34 languages.
[00:07:24.000]
So you have that both options available.
[00:07:27.000]
You can increase or decrease the font size.
[00:07:30.000]
Display Options gives the user a way to customize the text even further by changing the color behind the text
[00:07:38.000]
or the font, increasing the line, letter, and word spacing.
[00:07:42.000]
And then listen, I mentioned just in the last slide where you can listen to that text being read aloud to you, download it as an MP3, or enlarge the text onto the page, which I will model that for you today.
[00:07:56.000]
Display options I want to talk about a little further with those tools to support accessibility. It really makes the display that your users are seeing
[00:08:05.000]
It improves their readability and meets them where they're learning. So we meet the varying needs.
[00:08:11.000]
You have that ability to change the color behind the text, increase the or change the font, including open dyslexic.
[00:08:19.000]
and increase that line, letter, and word spacing. So all those options are available in that underneath that display options icon.
[00:08:31.000]
And in this case, we did use the open dyslexic font, slightly increase the line, letter, and word spacing.
[00:08:38.000]
And change the color behind the text. So we have instead of that white screen, we have this nice green page behind it. And this is a feature that will stick with me throughout my session.
[00:08:49.000]
So I set it up on my very first document and it'll stick with me as I continue to explore
[00:08:54.000]
throughout the resource during my session.
[00:08:59.000]
We also have, now this is in our Gale In context resources, so that would be middle school, high school, but we do also have level documents available
[00:09:08.000]
In our one file, so in high school edition, it's just Lexile measure that you'll see there.
[00:09:15.000]
the content levels that you see here in my results, this little blue box and this little orange one here.
[00:09:22.000]
that's unique in our in-context resources.
[00:09:26.000]
We have Lexile measure in our one file periodicals.
[00:09:32.000]
And I'm going to jump through this because this is in context.
[00:09:36.000]
To share content, we have the GitLink tool.
[00:09:39.000]
where this will create a persistent URL back to any spot within the resource. You have the ability to share to Google Classroom.
[00:09:46.000]
So you can put information directly in your Google Classroom. You can also send content directly to Google or Microsoft or email.
[00:09:55.000]
All options are available.
[00:10:01.000]
I mentioned learning management systems.
[00:10:04.000]
Learning management system
[00:10:06.000]
Once your resources are set up in your LMS, in your learning management system.
[00:10:12.000]
From, let's say you're in Canvas and that's what we're seeing on the left hand side here, Schoology on the right.
[00:10:19.000]
I can embed articles
[00:10:21.000]
right into an assignment, a page, a discussion.
[00:10:24.000]
I would just need to access the resource.
[00:10:28.000]
From that assignment, if I want to embed it right into the assignment, or I also have my global navigation on the left hand side if I just want to do some
[00:10:35.000]
exploration. And once I embed it, it will show up right in my assignment as you're seeing here in this picture. It's really easy to do in both
[00:10:45.000]
of these resources. Again, we are integrated with other learning management system.
[00:10:51.000]
that these are the two that are utilized most often. So that's why we share this information.
[00:10:56.000]
But I can embed a video, an image, a document. I can also add a link.
[00:11:01.000]
I can add a link to a video image document or I can add a link to a topic page, for example.
[00:11:07.000]
Or two, if I filter down content.
[00:11:11.000]
And I want, maybe I'm differentiating instruction in my classroom and I have a smaller group that needs a little bit lower reading level.
[00:11:17.000]
And a collection, smaller collection, to look through. I can do that and put that link right into an assignment in either of these
[00:11:27.000]
or any learning management system.
[00:11:31.000]
So like D2L is another one or Blackboard is another one, for example.
[00:11:35.000]
So let's dive in. We're going to talk about our first resource, and that is
[00:11:40.000]
Gale One File High School Edition.
[00:11:44.000]
Periodical content.
[00:11:46.000]
This one is cross-curricular too. You're going to find a lot of great content within this resource pulling from those periodicals right on the homepage.
[00:11:55.000]
We do have the ability to sign in with Google or Microsoft.
[00:11:59.000]
If I'm set up as a teacher, which I am, when I sign into Google, I can automatically post information into my Google Classroom. So if you see that in the upper right hand corner here.
[00:12:10.000]
I also have the ability to translate my language.
[00:12:14.000]
For my navigational tools.
[00:12:17.000]
If I choose Spanish.
[00:12:20.000]
you can see it translates all of my navigational tools. And this is separate
[00:12:25.000]
Then our translation at the document level.
[00:12:31.000]
to go back to English, I just open that back up and select English.
[00:12:36.000]
We have our basic and advanced search. Advanced search has some great pre-search limiters that are available when we talk about high school students, especially our 11th and 12th graders.
[00:12:46.000]
If they're going on to a two-year, four-year college, this is a skill they're going to need to know. We hear this from our higher ed folks all the time.
[00:12:54.000]
Not only do they need to have research skills, but they also need to understand how to use those advanced search options that they have available within their digital resources. So it's a great skill to learn or
[00:13:06.000]
to teach and for them to learn.
[00:13:09.000]
And with our advanced search, we have some helpful tools also for them. Let me just share with you.
[00:13:15.000]
Where we talk about if you change the field
[00:13:19.000]
You enter your term if you change the field
[00:13:22.000]
what exactly
[00:13:24.000]
the results will show. So it's going to search the entire document to contain
[00:13:30.000]
Whatever term you've added.
[00:13:32.000]
Which is different than our keyword, which will look for
[00:13:37.000]
results that contain these terms in key fields, like the title, the first 200 words.
[00:13:44.000]
But it will not search the entire document. So there's a difference there.
[00:13:48.000]
Below that, we have search terms.
[00:13:51.000]
Operators and special characters we even have
[00:13:54.000]
Examples. So again, great lesson to learn, especially in high school because they will need this information when they get to that higher ed level.
[00:14:04.000]
And then great research limiters we have available, peer reviewed journals, which is part of your Florida curriculum.
[00:14:10.000]
Document type, publication title, and here's where the Lexile measure
[00:14:15.000]
both the range, so you can multi-select or you can put in an exact Lexile measure.
[00:14:21.000]
Probably not used as much at the high school level, but it is there and available.
[00:14:27.000]
Right on the homepage, we have all of these items, topic finder, subject guide search and publication search.
[00:14:33.000]
They always live under advanced search, but we did pull them out and they are on the homepage of a lot of our resources.
[00:14:40.000]
Topic Finder is a visual representation of your search results. It's also interactive. I might as well show that with you right now.
[00:14:46.000]
So let's do a quick search on, say, climate change.
[00:14:54.000]
Actually, let's do space exploration. That's more fun.
[00:15:01.000]
And I just want to show you those results. So it's working. It's pulling back these tiles.
[00:15:06.000]
I also have two visualizations available i have tiles
[00:15:11.000]
or wheel.
[00:15:14.000]
Purely preference.
[00:15:16.000]
The larger the tile, the more content we have under that subject category.
[00:15:21.000]
So NASA.
[00:15:23.000]
The larger the tile, deeper the color. You can see I have 64 different
[00:15:28.000]
documents available, images, videos.
[00:15:31.000]
articles all available, but if I want to go to say NASA astronauts
[00:15:36.000]
It filters it down real quick two clicks
[00:15:39.000]
one into the large tile, one into the smaller one, and I have nine different documents available. So it's a great interactive tool.
[00:15:47.000]
It also is a keyword search. So it's going to look at those top hits
[00:15:51.000]
In your results, look at the first hundred words of the articles and that's what it's going to pull back.
[00:15:59.000]
I go back to that homepage.
[00:16:01.000]
Let's do a quick basic search.
[00:16:04.000]
And let's do, I'm going to switch it up. I usually do artificial intelligence
[00:16:09.000]
But let's do animal welfare.
[00:16:14.000]
I was looking at the Florida curriculum and some of the topics that are studied there and wanted to pull in as much as I can in this session.
[00:16:22.000]
So animal welfare is one, and that's pretty much part of many curriculums and many points of study, especially when you're talking about
[00:16:30.000]
any civics or debate classes too.
[00:16:33.000]
That's one that's a great topic to utilize this resource for.
[00:16:38.000]
So it does take a bit to pull back that information because it is pulling back so much information, as you can see, 47,000 news articles.
[00:16:46.000]
We do have some multimedia images and videos available.
[00:16:50.000]
Now, it does take us right into magazines, but I might want to jump to academic journals.
[00:16:57.000]
Especially if I'm looking for any peer reviewed
[00:17:02.000]
And again, it's taking a little bit because it's so much content there and
[00:17:08.000]
I truly believe Zoom bogs everything down a little bit for me.
[00:17:12.000]
So you're seeing a little bit of that too.
[00:17:14.000]
But you can see over to the right, any of the content types, magazines, academic journals, books, news, images, video, these content types.
[00:17:24.000]
Any that I click into, if I add a filter, filtering down my results.
[00:17:30.000]
It will apply to all of that content at once.
[00:17:34.000]
Now, if I select just peer reviewed journals, as you can see over here.
[00:17:39.000]
Those are in our academic journals. So watch what happens when I do. I'm going to
[00:17:44.000]
add in that filter.
[00:17:47.000]
And it's doing the work for me and you can see it's loading up here and spinning.
[00:17:54.000]
And what it's going to do is i'm going to see
[00:17:58.000]
it filtered down to just academic journals because that's where our peer review journals live.
[00:18:04.000]
So almost all of your journals
[00:18:07.000]
that we have are peer reviewed and where you'll see that in your results is right here.
[00:18:12.000]
So in that summary, you're going to see that little checkmark peer reviewed, but that's a lot of content
[00:18:19.000]
that we have that are peer reviewed. And again, it's a big part of the Florida curriculum.
[00:18:24.000]
finding peer reviewed journals. So send your students into Gale One File High School Edition to find that.
[00:18:31.000]
relevant content and those peer reviewed journals. It makes it really easy for them to find that content. And then they can filter down a little further using the results on the right hand side. Maybe they want publication date.
[00:18:44.000]
academic journals, sometimes they are published annually, sometimes it's quarterly.
[00:18:50.000]
So using that publication date can be really helpful if I want maybe everything from the last year.
[00:18:56.000]
I can filter by subject.
[00:19:00.000]
Document type.
[00:19:02.000]
So I can multi-select any of these.
[00:19:06.000]
publication titles so I can see all of my publication titles
[00:19:12.000]
And then there's that Lexile measure again.
[00:19:15.000]
And then I also have the ability to search within, which is a great way to quickly drill down my content.
[00:19:27.000]
I removed my peer-reviewed journal, so it's going back to my original search. Anytime I remove any of those filters.
[00:19:33.000]
It'll go back to my original search.
[00:19:37.000]
If you notice, I also have Topic Finder here. If I start Topic Finder at this point.
[00:19:42.000]
it will pull in just these results, even if I filter down my content as I did in just a moment ago.
[00:19:49.000]
I can pull that into Topic Finder. So if I really like that search option.
[00:19:54.000]
Using Topic Finder, there's an opportunity here when I'm viewing my results. So it's a really great tool for students. They know it's on the homepage, it's under advanced search, but it also lives here.
[00:20:06.000]
Below filter your results.
[00:20:09.000]
I also have the opportunity to create a search alert so
[00:20:13.000]
understanding how to use digital resources as a part of the Florida curriculum and utilizing the tools that are available. So for example, Search Alert is a great tool to introduce to students.
[00:20:25.000]
Search alert will provide you with exactly that.
[00:20:29.000]
When new results for your search become available, you can set up an email or an RSS feed.
[00:20:35.000]
And you can choose to have it sent to you every day if you want or every week or monthly. So you have those options available when you're setting up that search alert.
[00:20:46.000]
I can also use the GitLink tool.
[00:20:49.000]
and create a persistent URL back to this information
[00:20:53.000]
that if I'm a teacher and I want to pull this into a lesson plan, I can do that.
[00:20:57.000]
or as a librarian or media specialist, I'm working with a teacher, I'm helping her curate her or him, I should say, curate content.
[00:21:06.000]
I can utilize my GitLink tool.
[00:21:08.000]
The idea is to teach them to do this work on their own, but I know many of you support your teachers and help them supplement their curriculum. And this is a great way to do that, especially if you know
[00:21:21.000]
a topic is being studied by everyone, that GitLink tool can be really helpful. So maybe all of your
[00:21:28.000]
Civics classes are working on animal welfare and you want to share content from the library, not just from your print resources, but from your digital resources.
[00:21:37.000]
It's a great way to do it using that GitLink tool.
[00:21:40.000]
And then if I wanted to pull this into Google Classroom, I have that option available.
[00:21:44.000]
Where I can, it's really intuitive, select my class
[00:21:50.000]
let's say this is animal welfare biology.
[00:21:53.000]
Choose my action, all of the same actions you can do in Google Classroom.
[00:22:04.000]
And I'm putting in an announcement to my class.
[00:22:08.000]
can post that information.
[00:22:11.000]
Once I click view, it's going to open in a new tab.
[00:22:15.000]
And here is my
[00:22:18.000]
search results for animal welfare. So my students can go directly to that spot.
[00:22:27.000]
back. I'm going to close that out.
[00:22:30.000]
Okay, so we talked about the GitLink tool. We talked about Google Classroom.
[00:22:34.000]
We talked about searching and topic finder
[00:22:38.000]
In our search results and what we're seeing in that high school edition is periodical content. Now let's go into Gale Literature Lit Finder.
[00:22:47.000]
So Gale Literature Lit Finder, again, focusing on our literary works, you have about this resource right here on the page.
[00:22:55.000]
It tells you a little bit more, some of the same statistics that I shared with you during our PowerPoint.
[00:23:00.000]
are there. Same tools are also available in all of your Gale resources. A little different here, though, because we have a person search and a work search available. These both live under advanced search also.
[00:23:13.000]
But if I did want to do a person search, I could do that.
[00:23:17.000]
like let's say I wanted to do a quick search on
[00:23:22.000]
Maya Angelou.
[00:23:24.000]
And we have some search tips here.
[00:23:27.000]
Because you do have some limiters, pre-search limiters available
[00:23:32.000]
I know exactly who I'm looking for, so I'm just going to enter that information in.
[00:23:37.000]
And this will take me to, I have 178 results available
[00:23:43.000]
I can see her year of birth and year of death.
[00:23:47.000]
And jump quickly to the first one is primary sources and literary work. So I'm going to find a lot of poems
[00:23:55.000]
or information directly by Maya Angelou. You'll see I have some abstracts and citations available if I wanted to remove those, all I have to do is select over to the right.
[00:24:07.000]
Full text documents.
[00:24:09.000]
And it'll just provide me with the full text documents.
[00:24:13.000]
First section it takes me to is primary sources and literary works. That's what the focus of this resource is.
[00:24:19.000]
those literary works. But I do have biographies, topic and work overviews and multimedia.
[00:24:26.000]
If I want to do a basic search, let's say, and you have lots of books of study that you do, so I could do an author or a literary work.
[00:24:36.000]
And I'm going to do frankenstein
[00:24:41.000]
one of the books to read in Florida.
[00:24:44.000]
So you can see takes me right into the primary sources and literary works. I have five biographies, but I also have some top and
[00:24:51.000]
and work overviews, topic and work overviews, sorry, topic and work overviews.
[00:24:56.000]
Information, this is a work overview and a brief article on Frankenstein.
[00:25:01.000]
And this is coming from the Encyclopedia of Literature.
[00:25:07.000]
So it gives me information about this work.
[00:25:12.000]
So it's a really brief summary of information there that I have. But if I go back to my results.
[00:25:19.000]
I can find more explanation of Frankenstein.
[00:25:22.000]
The brother and sister. So Mary Shelley, more information by Mary Shelley is being brought into this
[00:25:29.000]
these results and these topic and work overviews. So those connections are being made.
[00:25:35.000]
If I go to the primary source and literary works, that's where I'm going to find those specific to the literary work itself.
[00:25:44.000]
So here is the full
[00:25:47.000]
Document.
[00:25:50.000]
of Frankenstein so you have the
[00:25:52.000]
The full novel is here. So we do have some full novels and full short stories available. You can see document type.
[00:26:01.000]
Novel, over 72,000 words available
[00:26:05.000]
And the reason why I'm sharing this with you is because
[00:26:08.000]
I go to letter one. I have the ability to translate my text.
[00:26:14.000]
Now, this is a great feature to have. Let me scroll all the way back up.
[00:26:19.000]
I have my tools to support accessibility so I can translate my text.
[00:26:24.000]
into over 57 languages.
[00:26:31.000]
I can decrease or increase that font size.
[00:26:34.000]
I can change those display options. So in a regular print text.
[00:26:39.000]
I wouldn't be able to do this. I wouldn't have this feature
[00:26:43.000]
Where I can read this
[00:26:45.000]
exactly how I need to read it.
[00:26:48.000]
So I opened dyslexic, increase the line letter and word spacing, change the color behind the text.
[00:26:54.000]
So this is a great way to meet the varying needs of students by using these tools, even with works of study that
[00:27:02.000]
Students are always using.
[00:27:04.000]
that are being taught in the classroom.
[00:27:06.000]
to go back to default, I just open that box back up.
[00:27:10.000]
And click back to default settings.
[00:27:12.000]
I also can listen to this text being read aloud to me.
[00:27:16.000]
And this is, again, shared across all your Gale resources.
[00:27:20.000]
it's going to start with the title
[00:27:22.000]
Document type, novel.
[00:27:24.000]
And I did, there we go.
[00:27:30.000]
Document type, novel.
[00:27:33.000]
It's reading over to the oh because i highlighted it.
[00:27:37.000]
Let's see. See if this will change. I'm like, why is it just so if you do highlight a chunk of text, it'll just read that section
[00:27:47.000]
So now it should, I was wondering why it was over there doing that. Let's see it should read
[00:27:51.000]
start from the title.
[00:27:53.000]
There we go.
[00:27:54.000]
Frankenstein.
[00:27:55.000]
About this work.
[00:27:57.000]
So it'll read everything on the page, but over to the left.
[00:28:00.000]
I have the ability to change some of the settings, the color that it's being highlighted in.
[00:28:06.000]
the word and the sentence, the text color. I also have the ability to enlarge the text. And what that does is it pulls the text out onto the page.
[00:28:16.000]
This is also, if you notice, the download as an MP3 is here.
[00:28:20.000]
So I turned on that enlarged text.
[00:28:23.000]
Title, Frankenstein.
[00:28:24.000]
You can see it pulls that text out onto the page
[00:28:27.000]
to again help meet the needs of my
[00:28:30.000]
the varying needs of my students.
[00:28:33.000]
Over to the right, I have an explore panel
[00:28:35.000]
Where I can choose related subjects.
[00:28:39.000]
So that's going to be supplemental information
[00:28:44.000]
And then I have my quick send options, Google, Microsoft email download print
[00:28:49.000]
I also have in my contextual toolbar
[00:28:52.000]
the paper airplane, which has those same email, Google, and Microsoft, I have the ability to download and print, grab a link back to this ebook, or I should say to this
[00:29:02.000]
novel. I have that option available. And then highlights and notes. If I've highlighted any text, like let's say I've highlighted this
[00:29:10.000]
title, for example, which is
[00:29:12.000]
Very basic here.
[00:29:15.000]
Actually, I'll go down into the text.
[00:29:18.000]
Highlight a chunk of text.
[00:29:20.000]
I can choose a color, add any notes. Great for annotating.
[00:29:24.000]
And these are digital too. So I can highlight that chunk of text
[00:29:28.000]
Continue to read. Maybe I need this
[00:29:31.000]
chunk of text for my paper.
[00:29:34.000]
I didn't choose a color.
[00:29:40.000]
And then I can send
[00:29:43.000]
Just my highlights and notes.
[00:29:48.000]
So you can see over here in the right hand corner highlights and notes
[00:29:52.000]
If I open that up, I can view all highlights and notes. Now I have to highlight something on the document first, otherwise it's not going to show me anything. It's going to say zero.
[00:30:03.000]
And I can just send these to my Google Drive.
[00:30:06.000]
Microsoft OneDrive, email, download, print.
[00:30:10.000]
So these digital notes that I've annotated, I can also edit my notes before I send them.
[00:30:16.000]
So great when you're talking about plagiarism, also part of the Florida curriculum.
[00:30:22.000]
teaching students to put things, information into their own words
[00:30:26.000]
Bibliography is attached and this is session based. So if I'm in multiple articles and I'm highlighting away in these documents.
[00:30:34.000]
This will continuously build out during my session. If I leave my session.
[00:30:39.000]
And I don't send this information anywhere.
[00:30:41.000]
then I will lose it. And that's what this warning is. So I always say best practice
[00:30:47.000]
Send your marked up document.
[00:30:51.000]
to Google or Microsoft. Now, this is a 72,000 word document
[00:30:56.000]
Maybe you don't want to send the whole thing.
[00:30:58.000]
This might be one of those scenarios where you might want to pause and be like, okay.
[00:31:03.000]
But maybe you do. Maybe you want the entire document available in your Google Drive. You can do that.
[00:31:09.000]
But if you just want the highlights and notes, this is a great mini lesson for students.
[00:31:14.000]
If you're teaching students about their research skills.
[00:31:17.000]
I mentioned this in elementary and middle school also is using that highlights and notes as a mini lesson so that they're learning to use that tool.
[00:31:30.000]
All right, so you're going to find great content like that. Oh, one more thing. We're in full text, but we also have if the original document PDF is available.
[00:31:39.000]
We have that. You'll see the tab at the top inlet finder.
[00:31:43.000]
And of course, it's a very large novel that i
[00:31:47.000]
Oh, it's loading pretty quick. That's good.
[00:31:50.000]
But it's loading that whole entire document.
[00:31:54.000]
So I can view it.
[00:31:57.000]
as PDF.
[00:31:59.000]
I can also print and download this version.
[00:32:04.000]
So just as I would see the papers, I just don't have that translate feature. I would need to be in full text.
[00:32:11.000]
to be able to translate the text. This is literally a PDF of your
[00:32:16.000]
print title.
[00:32:18.000]
but you don't have check in, check out. You don't need to purchase multiple books.
[00:32:22.000]
you have this readily available within the resource for every
[00:32:26.000]
student to access. And then if they need
[00:32:29.000]
any of these tools to support accessibility, you have that available too. So imagine having books, a book in Spanish and then a book
[00:32:37.000]
in Italian or Filipino or Chinese, you have that option to translate into any of those
[00:32:44.000]
other languages. So you don't need multiple copies in different languages. You have it here.
[00:32:52.000]
Okay, so we talked about LitFinder. The last thing I wanted to share with you, please let me know if you have any questions.
[00:32:58.000]
Or if you'd like me to explore anything else, LitFinder is probably one of my favorites. I remember having a history teacher in one of my sessions
[00:33:06.000]
And they asked me, oh, well, you said something about speeches. Do you have inaugural speeches? And I was like, sure, let's take a look.
[00:33:15.000]
And so we did a search and sure enough, we had inaugural speeches available within Gale Literature Lit Finder. So keep that in mind that that's an awesome tool too.
[00:33:24.000]
And I can't remember who we did. I think we did Kennedy.
[00:33:31.000]
And what I would do is do that search and then over document type.
[00:33:37.000]
I would search for speech.
[00:33:40.000]
And then maybe there it is right at the top. I didn't even need to filter it down any further.
[00:33:47.000]
So we have those inaugural. So let your this isn't just for your ELA teachers. Your history teachers can utilize this too. I've even had
[00:33:54.000]
Actually, it was in Florida. I was doing a training in Florida and there was a science teacher in my
[00:34:01.000]
literature session and
[00:34:03.000]
I was curious. And so I asked and he said you know
[00:34:08.000]
This is an area I need to know a little bit more about because there are a lot of authors that write about nature or they write about space and
[00:34:17.000]
I can pull that into what I'm teaching in the classroom. And I remember thinking.
[00:34:22.000]
This is a teacher i would have wanted
[00:34:24.000]
As a student, he's probably an awesome teacher because he brings in other things. He's not just focused on science, but he brings in literature too.
[00:34:33.000]
And then I thought, then my second thought was I wish
[00:34:36.000]
My kids had a teacher like this. So keep that in mind that introduce this to your history and to your even to your science teachers, especially those innovative ones that you have in your building.
[00:34:48.000]
I've had…
[00:34:50.000]
multiple trainings in Florida. Thankfully, I've been able to support Florida for a number of years now.
[00:34:57.000]
And I had multiple opportunities to do trainings there and have met some fantastic teachers in my trainings and workshops. And I still use their ideas to this day that they've shared with me.
[00:35:08.000]
Just keep that in mind that this is not just for your English teachers that you're
[00:35:13.000]
Maybe your science or your history teachers can utilize this information too.
[00:35:18.000]
world language.
[00:35:20.000]
translate feature, right? Reading in a different language. So that's an idea too for your world language folks.
[00:35:26.000]
Okay, wanted to talk to you about one more resource. If there's no questions on Gale Literature Lit Finder, I could spend almost all day in here because I just love this resource.
[00:35:35.000]
But let's talk about another favorite, and that's your Gale eBooks.
[00:35:40.000]
I mentioned that
[00:35:42.000]
Because I'm accessing the Florida Electronic Library's
[00:35:46.000]
through their location.
[00:35:48.000]
So through, if you were to access through the feel
[00:35:52.000]
website, you would see the same thing for your Gale ebooks.
[00:35:56.000]
And that is these collections.
[00:35:59.000]
So these custom collections have already been created for you.
[00:36:04.000]
If you would like to
[00:36:07.000]
create your own. Again, I have information on the support site on how you can do that.
[00:36:13.000]
with your own collection on your own location ID information.
[00:36:18.000]
Each library has their own location ID and that you would be able to build your own collection. But if you would like
[00:36:27.000]
your students to come in and access this information through the Florida Electronic Library website, you could do that too.
[00:36:34.000]
Because it's already done for you. And we start with elementary, move into middle school, then we go into high school.
[00:36:40.000]
Although there is one high school collection at the top that's being highlighted right now, health and medicine
[00:36:47.000]
But we go into high school and then below that is all of our general. So more for our
[00:36:54.000]
More for our public library patrons because this, if you go through the Florida Electronic Library site.
[00:37:01.000]
This is available to all libraries.
[00:37:04.000]
So keep that in mind if you want it specific to your school, then please, please use your own
[00:37:09.000]
location information, your own direct URL for Gale ebooks but you can always
[00:37:14.000]
copy the ideas that you have that you're going to see here. So you can see some of those high school collections that have been created
[00:37:22.000]
We're going to go into careers and life skills.
[00:37:27.000]
Once I click into that collection, now my basic search is going to search just within that collection.
[00:37:35.000]
So it'll only look through these ebooks for whatever term I put into this box.
[00:37:42.000]
Where if I were back on that home page
[00:37:45.000]
Let me go back there. This basic search will search through all of my ebooks at once.
[00:37:51.000]
I do have some options to look for subject publication, or entire document.
[00:37:56.000]
for a term. But if I go to just the collection, as I just did, careers and life skills.
[00:38:03.000]
Then if I put a term in, it'll only look for
[00:38:07.000]
that term in this
[00:38:10.000]
smaller selection of ebooks that I have.
[00:38:14.000]
Let's say I'm interested in journalism.
[00:38:17.000]
So career opportunities in journalism
[00:38:20.000]
That A to Z book is a really great one too. Actually, you have so many great ebooks in your collection from
[00:38:26.000]
But I just selected this one. Gives you a bit of an overview. I can select view ebook, which is going to take me directly into that PDF version.
[00:38:37.000]
Kind of like what we were looking at in LitFinder.
[00:38:40.000]
But it's the PDF of the actual print book.
[00:38:44.000]
And I can view it as
[00:38:47.000]
It'll take me right to that front cover first.
[00:38:52.000]
I can view it as a PDF.
[00:38:54.000]
Tap or swipe.
[00:38:56.000]
It takes me right into that.
[00:38:59.000]
ebook. I also have the ability to
[00:39:02.000]
make it double page. I can make this fill my whole screen.
[00:39:06.000]
or just adjust my browser. I can zoom in, zoom out. All of those tools are here, fairly intuitive information, right?
[00:39:15.000]
Let me go back. Well, before I do, I…
[00:39:18.000]
In the book view, I also can switch to text view.
[00:39:22.000]
So when I click view ebook, it's going to take me to the book view.
[00:39:26.000]
But I can switch it to that text view
[00:39:28.000]
Which will still give me the images, but now I have the text that I can use all of my tools
[00:39:35.000]
To support accessibility on.
[00:39:37.000]
So I have to again be in text view.
[00:39:40.000]
book view is a PDF of that print title.
[00:39:46.000]
All right, let me go back.
[00:39:49.000]
I'm just going to go right back to the homepage and click back into that title to make my life a little bit quicker and easier here.
[00:39:57.000]
high school careers in life.
[00:39:59.000]
Okay. When I click into the cover, it does always take me to the table of contents. I can see the book index, any list of illustrations.
[00:40:07.000]
Here's my table of contents.
[00:40:10.000]
I can open, let's say I'm interested in being a managing editor for the newspaper.
[00:40:17.000]
I can jump to that section within that ebook.
[00:40:23.000]
Managing editor at the top there, I've got an image and then
[00:40:27.000]
goes into the description.
[00:40:30.000]
So if I click on the view ebook, it takes me to the PDF. If I click into that table of contents.
[00:40:37.000]
Then it's going to take me to exactly that.
[00:40:42.000]
It's going to, or I'm sorry, it's going to take me to the table of contents where then I can select where I want to go and I want to find out about managing editors.
[00:40:49.000]
I still have the full table of contents up here in my contextual toolbar.
[00:40:55.000]
So if I wanted to switch it up and say I'm interested in being a beat reporter.
[00:41:01.000]
I can do that.
[00:41:04.000]
And then I can go into that book view because right now I'm in text view.
[00:41:08.000]
I can go to book view.
[00:41:14.000]
And there we go.
[00:41:18.000]
Citations are always attached to every document image video that I have available MLA
[00:41:23.000]
Ninth edition is the default. We have APA Chicago and Harvard available.
[00:41:29.000]
We also have separately the citation tool
[00:41:33.000]
Where I can change the format just as I can at the document level. So this feature is available at the document level. But when I'm using the citation tool, it's just giving me the citation.
[00:41:45.000]
Where at the document level, and of course I picked a really long document
[00:41:50.000]
It's at the bottom.
[00:41:52.000]
I can change that format.
[00:41:54.000]
I also can choose where I'd like to export it. But if I'm going to save this document and send it.
[00:41:59.000]
to my Google Drive, OneDrive email, download or print, then I might want to change that source citation if I need another format.
[00:42:07.000]
before I send it.
[00:42:09.000]
And again, the citation tool is still here
[00:42:12.000]
And that's separate if I just need the citation
[00:42:15.000]
or let's say just want to export it to one of these locations, I have those options available.
[00:42:24.000]
One other thing I want to share with you is if I do, let's do a basic search.
[00:42:30.000]
And let's just do reporter.
[00:42:35.000]
Actually, let me go back. I want to stay in my collection.
[00:42:40.000]
I don't want to go.
[00:42:45.000]
Okay.
[00:42:47.000]
Reporter.
[00:42:53.000]
And you can see this is definitely the book. We've got some radio though here too.
[00:42:58.000]
similar publisher or same publisher
[00:43:03.000]
A to Z career jobs, but you can see the search results, court reporters
[00:43:08.000]
Copy editor, field producer, science writer
[00:43:12.000]
But when I do a search, this is how the results are going to show up.
[00:43:16.000]
I have the ability to filter my results just as I did in my other resources. All those same features are available, including Topic Finder.
[00:43:24.000]
I can share a link back to this collection that I've curated.
[00:43:29.000]
And share it wherever I'd like or pull it into Google Classroom. So all those same things and features are available.
[00:43:37.000]
If I click into the cover, remember, it's going to take you to that table of contents.
[00:43:42.000]
If I click into the title.
[00:43:45.000]
Let me go a little further down. Let's choose something else from a different book.
[00:43:50.000]
let's say a weather reporter.
[00:43:52.000]
it will take me to
[00:43:54.000]
that article.
[00:44:01.000]
So clicking into the title in my search results will take me right into that article.
[00:44:09.000]
All right, let me go back. There's no questions. I just want to share with you real quick where you can go for additional support
[00:44:16.000]
And that is your Gale support site
[00:44:20.000]
The link is here at the top. I will also share it in the chat.
[00:44:24.000]
This is a great place to bookmark because we created this support site for FEL.
[00:44:28.000]
You'll find all of your access information. I talked to you about your direct URLs. You also find mark records there.
[00:44:36.000]
Database icons, widgets, the ability to contact your customer success manager directly. You just have to log in.
[00:44:42.000]
with your library information, you'll just find it from the dropdown menu, find your library in that dropdown menu, click proceed and everything will load for you.
[00:44:52.000]
In the training centers where you're going to find tip sheets, tutorials, recorded webinars, there's great training decks available, all of our Power
[00:44:59.000]
with our training notes are there.
[00:45:01.000]
So if you're doing any trainings in your building, you have everything you need.
[00:45:05.000]
You also will find lesson plans and projects, student activities and scavenger hunts and escape rooms all available on the Gale support site.
[00:45:14.000]
I pulled out a few. We also have these new training toolkits that we created in the last year.
[00:45:19.000]
their click sheets where you takes you into the basics, like here's where you can get started to learn more about Gale ebooks.
[00:45:27.000]
And then as you work through, are you ready to maybe do your own training? Here's some tools that you have available. So we've curated our training materials for you all.
[00:45:37.000]
And then you're going to find short video tutorials. Here's an activity, a book study, and also great marketing materials, bookmarks, posters, flyers.
[00:45:46.000]
social media posts, email templates, blog templates, all available on your Gale support site.
[00:45:54.000]
Again, my name is Tammi Burke. I'm a senior trainer at Gale and love supporting our Florida folks. So I thank you for spending some time with me today. If you need one-on-one support from Gale.
[00:46:06.000]
Your Gale customer success managers are there. They are there for post sales support. They just want to make sure that you're accessing that information.
[00:46:14.000]
You have everything you need. Maybe you need to run a usage report and you want them to walk you through that process. They can help with all of that.
[00:46:21.000]
Tech support is there too if you need those Gale admin credentials.
[00:46:25.000]
to access the usage dashboard. Maybe you haven't done that yet, your Gale technical support team can help with that information.
[00:46:33.000]
And then if you have time for the survey.
[00:46:35.000]
Please click continue. I'd love to get your feedback. I do share that with the folks at the Florida Electronic Library. They do ask for that information once a year. And I also share that information internally. It's completely anonymous.
[00:46:47.000]
Unless you would like me to reach out to you if you have any additional questions, you can leave your name and information. I'd be happy to connect with you and answer any questions that you may have.
[00:46:56.000]
QR code is there if you'd like to use your phone to answer that quick survey, but I really appreciate you and your time today.
[00:47:03.000]
And I hope you join us again. We're starting a new series starting in December looking at your
[00:47:10.000]
Peterson's career prep. So I hope you join me for that.
[00:47:14.000]
It's coming up the beginning of December. There's a new ebook that was added that we're going to talk about. So thank you so much for your time today.
[00:47:21.000]
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to answer any that you may have. Have a great rest of your day, everyone.
Welcome to your training for the Florida Electronic Library.
[00:00:06.000]
This training session is Navigating Academic Success, Scale High School Resources. My name is Tammi Burke. I'm a senior trainer at Gale.
[00:00:14.000]
And I am looking forward to talking to you about a few different resources that you have available.
[00:00:21.000]
From the Florida Electronic Library for high school students and to support or supplement
[00:00:26.000]
the high school curriculum. Any questions that you have, please feel free to use the Q&A box.
[00:00:32.000]
We're going to start with an access and overview of the Gale resources. So I always like to share access so that you understand that you have not only the FEL,
[00:00:43.000]
site that you can go to, but you have your direct URLs and understanding why you would want to use one than the other.
[00:00:50.000]
Both are great options, and I'll explain that a little bit further. I am also going to give you an overview of the Gale resources that I've selected to cover for
[00:01:00.000]
high school, supplementing high school curriculum. And then we will be spending the majority of our time browsing and searching content, looking at the resource features and tools.
[00:01:11.000]
Again, any questions, please feel free to ask, but I will stay on this training until
[00:01:16.000]
After we end it, just in case there's any additional questions, and I will also share with you contact information. Mine and folks at Gale.
[00:01:25.000]
that you can reach out to if you need any one-on-one support.
[00:01:29.000]
To access your Florida Electronic Library resources, you can use the FEL site. It recently
[00:01:36.000]
received an update. So you will see it looks a little different if you're accessing through this point. Now I will share with you, if you utilize this with your users.
[00:01:46.000]
The usage will roll up to the nearest public library. Your users will automatically be taken right into the resources
[00:01:54.000]
But usage will roll up to the nearest public library. So keep that in mind, especially if you're coming from a school.
[00:02:00.000]
You may want to use your direct URLs because if you would like to capture that usage for your individual library.
[00:02:07.000]
That is the way to do it is to utilize those direct UR
[00:02:11.000]
for your Gale resources that you have from the Florida Electronic Library so that you can pull those usage reports
[00:02:18.000]
that you may need for your library. So keep that in mind. Both options are great options.
[00:02:24.000]
just whatever suits you.
[00:02:27.000]
Gale resources that we're going to talk about today. The first one is Gale One File High School Edition. Anything with one file in the title.
[00:02:36.000]
is periodical content. So magazines, academic journals, newspapers. There's some multimedia here.
[00:02:43.000]
But you're going to find that this is periodical and reference book content that you're going to find within this resource. It's designed
[00:02:50.000]
For our middle and high school students, it provides really more for high school, but sometimes our middle schoolers will use it.
[00:02:56.000]
Providing access to content for classroom assignments.
[00:03:00.000]
Periodical content, including, as I mentioned, magazines, journals, newspapers, reference books.
[00:03:06.000]
covers a wide range of subjects from science
[00:03:09.000]
history and literature to politics or political science, sports, and environmental studies.
[00:03:16.000]
It features full text articles from the world's leading journals and reference sources.
[00:03:21.000]
And you will find we have a low to no embargo rate.
[00:03:25.000]
So this is great because we're able to add content immediately
[00:03:30.000]
Content is being updated every day throughout the day and you'll see that in the bottom right hand corner.
[00:03:36.000]
Here on the resource, and I'll share that with you, my screenshot, obviously I grabbed it in September.
[00:03:42.000]
But it is in that bottom right-hand corner, you'll see the most current date, which is today.
[00:03:49.000]
And I'll point that out to you. And there's also detailed manual indexing available or that
[00:03:54.000]
that is done within this resource.
[00:03:57.000]
The second resource we are going to go into today is Gale Literature Lit Finder.
[00:04:02.000]
LitFinder is original literary works. You're going to find over 130,000 poems available. We also have
[00:04:11.000]
650,000 poetry citations available. So utilized a lot at that higher ed and public library. I'm not sure how much it's used in the K-12 space.
[00:04:22.000]
Those poetry citations, but it might be because you have a lot of great poetry content in your own libraries.
[00:04:29.000]
So this really can direct students to that content that you have in your library. You'll find over 11,000 short stories and novels, 4,000 essays, 2,000 speeches, over 1,300 plays.
[00:04:41.000]
You'll find inaugural speeches and so much more available within this resource, but it is your original literary works that you're going to find in Gale Literature Lit Finder.
[00:04:53.000]
You have a very large scale ebook collection, and if you're accessing your ebooks from the Florida Electronic Library site.
[00:05:01.000]
They have already been customized
[00:05:03.000]
into collections
[00:05:06.000]
for you. So I'm going to model that for you today so you can see that now that capability, if you're using your own direct URLs.
[00:05:13.000]
You are able to also create a
[00:05:16.000]
as many or as few collections as you want
[00:05:18.000]
It's very easy to do. We have great support documents on how to do that, but it is a really simple process.
[00:05:25.000]
to create your own custom collections within Gale ebooks. So today you're going to see
[00:05:30.000]
what the administrator at the Florida Electronic Library has done. And she went through the entire collection
[00:05:37.000]
and put them into different
[00:05:39.000]
custom collections. So you're going to see that today. 24 seven content available with your Gale ebooks, unlimited simultaneous access.
[00:05:48.000]
There's no holds or returns because there's no check in or check out. So unlimited access, mobile responsive site, just like
[00:05:56.000]
Your other Gale resources, all mobile responsive.
[00:05:59.000]
You'll find unlimited downloads are available. There's no restrictions on that. Intuitive search and browse feature.
[00:06:06.000]
Search option, topic finder, if you're familiar with that in your other resources, Topic Finder is also available in Gale ebooks.
[00:06:14.000]
And you can translate the text as you can in all of your other languages or other resources into over 50 languages. I believe we're at 57 now.
[00:06:23.000]
You have the text-to-speech option so you can listen to the text being read aloud.
[00:06:28.000]
It's also available to download as an MP3.
[00:06:32.000]
Again, we're mobile responsive. So if you have a user that doesn't have internet access at home, they can download it onto their device
[00:06:39.000]
and listen to it whenever they need it. Integration with Google and Microsoft and learning management systems. So you'll find that you can send content directly to Google
[00:06:50.000]
Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or put it into Google Classroom, or if you're using a learning management system such as Canvas or Schoology, we are integrated with
[00:07:00.000]
learning management systems also.
[00:07:03.000]
I want to talk to you about some of the tools that we have to support accessibility.
[00:07:08.000]
I mentioned translate when I was talking about ebooks. We can translate the text at the document level into over 50 languages, but you can also translate the interface
[00:07:20.000]
or the navigational tools
[00:07:22.000]
into 34 languages.
[00:07:24.000]
So you have that both options available.
[00:07:27.000]
You can increase or decrease the font size.
[00:07:30.000]
Display Options gives the user a way to customize the text even further by changing the color behind the text
[00:07:38.000]
or the font, increasing the line, letter, and word spacing.
[00:07:42.000]
And then listen, I mentioned just in the last slide where you can listen to that text being read aloud to you, download it as an MP3, or enlarge the text onto the page, which I will model that for you today.
[00:07:56.000]
Display options I want to talk about a little further with those tools to support accessibility. It really makes the display that your users are seeing
[00:08:05.000]
It improves their readability and meets them where they're learning. So we meet the varying needs.
[00:08:11.000]
You have that ability to change the color behind the text, increase the or change the font, including open dyslexic.
[00:08:19.000]
and increase that line, letter, and word spacing. So all those options are available in that underneath that display options icon.
[00:08:31.000]
And in this case, we did use the open dyslexic font, slightly increase the line, letter, and word spacing.
[00:08:38.000]
And change the color behind the text. So we have instead of that white screen, we have this nice green page behind it. And this is a feature that will stick with me throughout my session.
[00:08:49.000]
So I set it up on my very first document and it'll stick with me as I continue to explore
[00:08:54.000]
throughout the resource during my session.
[00:08:59.000]
We also have, now this is in our Gale In context resources, so that would be middle school, high school, but we do also have level documents available
[00:09:08.000]
In our one file, so in high school edition, it's just Lexile measure that you'll see there.
[00:09:15.000]
the content levels that you see here in my results, this little blue box and this little orange one here.
[00:09:22.000]
that's unique in our in-context resources.
[00:09:26.000]
We have Lexile measure in our one file periodicals.
[00:09:32.000]
And I'm going to jump through this because this is in context.
[00:09:36.000]
To share content, we have the GitLink tool.
[00:09:39.000]
where this will create a persistent URL back to any spot within the resource. You have the ability to share to Google Classroom.
[00:09:46.000]
So you can put information directly in your Google Classroom. You can also send content directly to Google or Microsoft or email.
[00:09:55.000]
All options are available.
[00:10:01.000]
I mentioned learning management systems.
[00:10:04.000]
Learning management system
[00:10:06.000]
Once your resources are set up in your LMS, in your learning management system.
[00:10:12.000]
From, let's say you're in Canvas and that's what we're seeing on the left hand side here, Schoology on the right.
[00:10:19.000]
I can embed articles
[00:10:21.000]
right into an assignment, a page, a discussion.
[00:10:24.000]
I would just need to access the resource.
[00:10:28.000]
From that assignment, if I want to embed it right into the assignment, or I also have my global navigation on the left hand side if I just want to do some
[00:10:35.000]
exploration. And once I embed it, it will show up right in my assignment as you're seeing here in this picture. It's really easy to do in both
[00:10:45.000]
of these resources. Again, we are integrated with other learning management system.
[00:10:51.000]
that these are the two that are utilized most often. So that's why we share this information.
[00:10:56.000]
But I can embed a video, an image, a document. I can also add a link.
[00:11:01.000]
I can add a link to a video image document or I can add a link to a topic page, for example.
[00:11:07.000]
Or two, if I filter down content.
[00:11:11.000]
And I want, maybe I'm differentiating instruction in my classroom and I have a smaller group that needs a little bit lower reading level.
[00:11:17.000]
And a collection, smaller collection, to look through. I can do that and put that link right into an assignment in either of these
[00:11:27.000]
or any learning management system.
[00:11:31.000]
So like D2L is another one or Blackboard is another one, for example.
[00:11:35.000]
So let's dive in. We're going to talk about our first resource, and that is
[00:11:40.000]
Gale One File High School Edition.
[00:11:44.000]
Periodical content.
[00:11:46.000]
This one is cross-curricular too. You're going to find a lot of great content within this resource pulling from those periodicals right on the homepage.
[00:11:55.000]
We do have the ability to sign in with Google or Microsoft.
[00:11:59.000]
If I'm set up as a teacher, which I am, when I sign into Google, I can automatically post information into my Google Classroom. So if you see that in the upper right hand corner here.
[00:12:10.000]
I also have the ability to translate my language.
[00:12:14.000]
For my navigational tools.
[00:12:17.000]
If I choose Spanish.
[00:12:20.000]
you can see it translates all of my navigational tools. And this is separate
[00:12:25.000]
Then our translation at the document level.
[00:12:31.000]
to go back to English, I just open that back up and select English.
[00:12:36.000]
We have our basic and advanced search. Advanced search has some great pre-search limiters that are available when we talk about high school students, especially our 11th and 12th graders.
[00:12:46.000]
If they're going on to a two-year, four-year college, this is a skill they're going to need to know. We hear this from our higher ed folks all the time.
[00:12:54.000]
Not only do they need to have research skills, but they also need to understand how to use those advanced search options that they have available within their digital resources. So it's a great skill to learn or
[00:13:06.000]
to teach and for them to learn.
[00:13:09.000]
And with our advanced search, we have some helpful tools also for them. Let me just share with you.
[00:13:15.000]
Where we talk about if you change the field
[00:13:19.000]
You enter your term if you change the field
[00:13:22.000]
what exactly
[00:13:24.000]
the results will show. So it's going to search the entire document to contain
[00:13:30.000]
Whatever term you've added.
[00:13:32.000]
Which is different than our keyword, which will look for
[00:13:37.000]
results that contain these terms in key fields, like the title, the first 200 words.
[00:13:44.000]
But it will not search the entire document. So there's a difference there.
[00:13:48.000]
Below that, we have search terms.
[00:13:51.000]
Operators and special characters we even have
[00:13:54.000]
Examples. So again, great lesson to learn, especially in high school because they will need this information when they get to that higher ed level.
[00:14:04.000]
And then great research limiters we have available, peer reviewed journals, which is part of your Florida curriculum.
[00:14:10.000]
Document type, publication title, and here's where the Lexile measure
[00:14:15.000]
both the range, so you can multi-select or you can put in an exact Lexile measure.
[00:14:21.000]
Probably not used as much at the high school level, but it is there and available.
[00:14:27.000]
Right on the homepage, we have all of these items, topic finder, subject guide search and publication search.
[00:14:33.000]
They always live under advanced search, but we did pull them out and they are on the homepage of a lot of our resources.
[00:14:40.000]
Topic Finder is a visual representation of your search results. It's also interactive. I might as well show that with you right now.
[00:14:46.000]
So let's do a quick search on, say, climate change.
[00:14:54.000]
Actually, let's do space exploration. That's more fun.
[00:15:01.000]
And I just want to show you those results. So it's working. It's pulling back these tiles.
[00:15:06.000]
I also have two visualizations available i have tiles
[00:15:11.000]
or wheel.
[00:15:14.000]
Purely preference.
[00:15:16.000]
The larger the tile, the more content we have under that subject category.
[00:15:21.000]
So NASA.
[00:15:23.000]
The larger the tile, deeper the color. You can see I have 64 different
[00:15:28.000]
documents available, images, videos.
[00:15:31.000]
articles all available, but if I want to go to say NASA astronauts
[00:15:36.000]
It filters it down real quick two clicks
[00:15:39.000]
one into the large tile, one into the smaller one, and I have nine different documents available. So it's a great interactive tool.
[00:15:47.000]
It also is a keyword search. So it's going to look at those top hits
[00:15:51.000]
In your results, look at the first hundred words of the articles and that's what it's going to pull back.
[00:15:59.000]
I go back to that homepage.
[00:16:01.000]
Let's do a quick basic search.
[00:16:04.000]
And let's do, I'm going to switch it up. I usually do artificial intelligence
[00:16:09.000]
But let's do animal welfare.
[00:16:14.000]
I was looking at the Florida curriculum and some of the topics that are studied there and wanted to pull in as much as I can in this session.
[00:16:22.000]
So animal welfare is one, and that's pretty much part of many curriculums and many points of study, especially when you're talking about
[00:16:30.000]
any civics or debate classes too.
[00:16:33.000]
That's one that's a great topic to utilize this resource for.
[00:16:38.000]
So it does take a bit to pull back that information because it is pulling back so much information, as you can see, 47,000 news articles.
[00:16:46.000]
We do have some multimedia images and videos available.
[00:16:50.000]
Now, it does take us right into magazines, but I might want to jump to academic journals.
[00:16:57.000]
Especially if I'm looking for any peer reviewed
[00:17:02.000]
And again, it's taking a little bit because it's so much content there and
[00:17:08.000]
I truly believe Zoom bogs everything down a little bit for me.
[00:17:12.000]
So you're seeing a little bit of that too.
[00:17:14.000]
But you can see over to the right, any of the content types, magazines, academic journals, books, news, images, video, these content types.
[00:17:24.000]
Any that I click into, if I add a filter, filtering down my results.
[00:17:30.000]
It will apply to all of that content at once.
[00:17:34.000]
Now, if I select just peer reviewed journals, as you can see over here.
[00:17:39.000]
Those are in our academic journals. So watch what happens when I do. I'm going to
[00:17:44.000]
add in that filter.
[00:17:47.000]
And it's doing the work for me and you can see it's loading up here and spinning.
[00:17:54.000]
And what it's going to do is i'm going to see
[00:17:58.000]
it filtered down to just academic journals because that's where our peer review journals live.
[00:18:04.000]
So almost all of your journals
[00:18:07.000]
that we have are peer reviewed and where you'll see that in your results is right here.
[00:18:12.000]
So in that summary, you're going to see that little checkmark peer reviewed, but that's a lot of content
[00:18:19.000]
that we have that are peer reviewed. And again, it's a big part of the Florida curriculum.
[00:18:24.000]
finding peer reviewed journals. So send your students into Gale One File High School Edition to find that.
[00:18:31.000]
relevant content and those peer reviewed journals. It makes it really easy for them to find that content. And then they can filter down a little further using the results on the right hand side. Maybe they want publication date.
[00:18:44.000]
academic journals, sometimes they are published annually, sometimes it's quarterly.
[00:18:50.000]
So using that publication date can be really helpful if I want maybe everything from the last year.
[00:18:56.000]
I can filter by subject.
[00:19:00.000]
Document type.
[00:19:02.000]
So I can multi-select any of these.
[00:19:06.000]
publication titles so I can see all of my publication titles
[00:19:12.000]
And then there's that Lexile measure again.
[00:19:15.000]
And then I also have the ability to search within, which is a great way to quickly drill down my content.
[00:19:27.000]
I removed my peer-reviewed journal, so it's going back to my original search. Anytime I remove any of those filters.
[00:19:33.000]
It'll go back to my original search.
[00:19:37.000]
If you notice, I also have Topic Finder here. If I start Topic Finder at this point.
[00:19:42.000]
it will pull in just these results, even if I filter down my content as I did in just a moment ago.
[00:19:49.000]
I can pull that into Topic Finder. So if I really like that search option.
[00:19:54.000]
Using Topic Finder, there's an opportunity here when I'm viewing my results. So it's a really great tool for students. They know it's on the homepage, it's under advanced search, but it also lives here.
[00:20:06.000]
Below filter your results.
[00:20:09.000]
I also have the opportunity to create a search alert so
[00:20:13.000]
understanding how to use digital resources as a part of the Florida curriculum and utilizing the tools that are available. So for example, Search Alert is a great tool to introduce to students.
[00:20:25.000]
Search alert will provide you with exactly that.
[00:20:29.000]
When new results for your search become available, you can set up an email or an RSS feed.
[00:20:35.000]
And you can choose to have it sent to you every day if you want or every week or monthly. So you have those options available when you're setting up that search alert.
[00:20:46.000]
I can also use the GitLink tool.
[00:20:49.000]
and create a persistent URL back to this information
[00:20:53.000]
that if I'm a teacher and I want to pull this into a lesson plan, I can do that.
[00:20:57.000]
or as a librarian or media specialist, I'm working with a teacher, I'm helping her curate her or him, I should say, curate content.
[00:21:06.000]
I can utilize my GitLink tool.
[00:21:08.000]
The idea is to teach them to do this work on their own, but I know many of you support your teachers and help them supplement their curriculum. And this is a great way to do that, especially if you know
[00:21:21.000]
a topic is being studied by everyone, that GitLink tool can be really helpful. So maybe all of your
[00:21:28.000]
Civics classes are working on animal welfare and you want to share content from the library, not just from your print resources, but from your digital resources.
[00:21:37.000]
It's a great way to do it using that GitLink tool.
[00:21:40.000]
And then if I wanted to pull this into Google Classroom, I have that option available.
[00:21:44.000]
Where I can, it's really intuitive, select my class
[00:21:50.000]
let's say this is animal welfare biology.
[00:21:53.000]
Choose my action, all of the same actions you can do in Google Classroom.
[00:22:04.000]
And I'm putting in an announcement to my class.
[00:22:08.000]
can post that information.
[00:22:11.000]
Once I click view, it's going to open in a new tab.
[00:22:15.000]
And here is my
[00:22:18.000]
search results for animal welfare. So my students can go directly to that spot.
[00:22:27.000]
back. I'm going to close that out.
[00:22:30.000]
Okay, so we talked about the GitLink tool. We talked about Google Classroom.
[00:22:34.000]
We talked about searching and topic finder
[00:22:38.000]
In our search results and what we're seeing in that high school edition is periodical content. Now let's go into Gale Literature Lit Finder.
[00:22:47.000]
So Gale Literature Lit Finder, again, focusing on our literary works, you have about this resource right here on the page.
[00:22:55.000]
It tells you a little bit more, some of the same statistics that I shared with you during our PowerPoint.
[00:23:00.000]
are there. Same tools are also available in all of your Gale resources. A little different here, though, because we have a person search and a work search available. These both live under advanced search also.
[00:23:13.000]
But if I did want to do a person search, I could do that.
[00:23:17.000]
like let's say I wanted to do a quick search on
[00:23:22.000]
Maya Angelou.
[00:23:24.000]
And we have some search tips here.
[00:23:27.000]
Because you do have some limiters, pre-search limiters available
[00:23:32.000]
I know exactly who I'm looking for, so I'm just going to enter that information in.
[00:23:37.000]
And this will take me to, I have 178 results available
[00:23:43.000]
I can see her year of birth and year of death.
[00:23:47.000]
And jump quickly to the first one is primary sources and literary work. So I'm going to find a lot of poems
[00:23:55.000]
or information directly by Maya Angelou. You'll see I have some abstracts and citations available if I wanted to remove those, all I have to do is select over to the right.
[00:24:07.000]
Full text documents.
[00:24:09.000]
And it'll just provide me with the full text documents.
[00:24:13.000]
First section it takes me to is primary sources and literary works. That's what the focus of this resource is.
[00:24:19.000]
those literary works. But I do have biographies, topic and work overviews and multimedia.
[00:24:26.000]
If I want to do a basic search, let's say, and you have lots of books of study that you do, so I could do an author or a literary work.
[00:24:36.000]
And I'm going to do frankenstein
[00:24:41.000]
one of the books to read in Florida.
[00:24:44.000]
So you can see takes me right into the primary sources and literary works. I have five biographies, but I also have some top and
[00:24:51.000]
and work overviews, topic and work overviews, sorry, topic and work overviews.
[00:24:56.000]
Information, this is a work overview and a brief article on Frankenstein.
[00:25:01.000]
And this is coming from the Encyclopedia of Literature.
[00:25:07.000]
So it gives me information about this work.
[00:25:12.000]
So it's a really brief summary of information there that I have. But if I go back to my results.
[00:25:19.000]
I can find more explanation of Frankenstein.
[00:25:22.000]
The brother and sister. So Mary Shelley, more information by Mary Shelley is being brought into this
[00:25:29.000]
these results and these topic and work overviews. So those connections are being made.
[00:25:35.000]
If I go to the primary source and literary works, that's where I'm going to find those specific to the literary work itself.
[00:25:44.000]
So here is the full
[00:25:47.000]
Document.
[00:25:50.000]
of Frankenstein so you have the
[00:25:52.000]
The full novel is here. So we do have some full novels and full short stories available. You can see document type.
[00:26:01.000]
Novel, over 72,000 words available
[00:26:05.000]
And the reason why I'm sharing this with you is because
[00:26:08.000]
I go to letter one. I have the ability to translate my text.
[00:26:14.000]
Now, this is a great feature to have. Let me scroll all the way back up.
[00:26:19.000]
I have my tools to support accessibility so I can translate my text.
[00:26:24.000]
into over 57 languages.
[00:26:31.000]
I can decrease or increase that font size.
[00:26:34.000]
I can change those display options. So in a regular print text.
[00:26:39.000]
I wouldn't be able to do this. I wouldn't have this feature
[00:26:43.000]
Where I can read this
[00:26:45.000]
exactly how I need to read it.
[00:26:48.000]
So I opened dyslexic, increase the line letter and word spacing, change the color behind the text.
[00:26:54.000]
So this is a great way to meet the varying needs of students by using these tools, even with works of study that
[00:27:02.000]
Students are always using.
[00:27:04.000]
that are being taught in the classroom.
[00:27:06.000]
to go back to default, I just open that box back up.
[00:27:10.000]
And click back to default settings.
[00:27:12.000]
I also can listen to this text being read aloud to me.
[00:27:16.000]
And this is, again, shared across all your Gale resources.
[00:27:20.000]
it's going to start with the title
[00:27:22.000]
Document type, novel.
[00:27:24.000]
And I did, there we go.
[00:27:30.000]
Document type, novel.
[00:27:33.000]
It's reading over to the oh because i highlighted it.
[00:27:37.000]
Let's see. See if this will change. I'm like, why is it just so if you do highlight a chunk of text, it'll just read that section
[00:27:47.000]
So now it should, I was wondering why it was over there doing that. Let's see it should read
[00:27:51.000]
start from the title.
[00:27:53.000]
There we go.
[00:27:54.000]
Frankenstein.
[00:27:55.000]
About this work.
[00:27:57.000]
So it'll read everything on the page, but over to the left.
[00:28:00.000]
I have the ability to change some of the settings, the color that it's being highlighted in.
[00:28:06.000]
the word and the sentence, the text color. I also have the ability to enlarge the text. And what that does is it pulls the text out onto the page.
[00:28:16.000]
This is also, if you notice, the download as an MP3 is here.
[00:28:20.000]
So I turned on that enlarged text.
[00:28:23.000]
Title, Frankenstein.
[00:28:24.000]
You can see it pulls that text out onto the page
[00:28:27.000]
to again help meet the needs of my
[00:28:30.000]
the varying needs of my students.
[00:28:33.000]
Over to the right, I have an explore panel
[00:28:35.000]
Where I can choose related subjects.
[00:28:39.000]
So that's going to be supplemental information
[00:28:44.000]
And then I have my quick send options, Google, Microsoft email download print
[00:28:49.000]
I also have in my contextual toolbar
[00:28:52.000]
the paper airplane, which has those same email, Google, and Microsoft, I have the ability to download and print, grab a link back to this ebook, or I should say to this
[00:29:02.000]
novel. I have that option available. And then highlights and notes. If I've highlighted any text, like let's say I've highlighted this
[00:29:10.000]
title, for example, which is
[00:29:12.000]
Very basic here.
[00:29:15.000]
Actually, I'll go down into the text.
[00:29:18.000]
Highlight a chunk of text.
[00:29:20.000]
I can choose a color, add any notes. Great for annotating.
[00:29:24.000]
And these are digital too. So I can highlight that chunk of text
[00:29:28.000]
Continue to read. Maybe I need this
[00:29:31.000]
chunk of text for my paper.
[00:29:34.000]
I didn't choose a color.
[00:29:40.000]
And then I can send
[00:29:43.000]
Just my highlights and notes.
[00:29:48.000]
So you can see over here in the right hand corner highlights and notes
[00:29:52.000]
If I open that up, I can view all highlights and notes. Now I have to highlight something on the document first, otherwise it's not going to show me anything. It's going to say zero.
[00:30:03.000]
And I can just send these to my Google Drive.
[00:30:06.000]
Microsoft OneDrive, email, download, print.
[00:30:10.000]
So these digital notes that I've annotated, I can also edit my notes before I send them.
[00:30:16.000]
So great when you're talking about plagiarism, also part of the Florida curriculum.
[00:30:22.000]
teaching students to put things, information into their own words
[00:30:26.000]
Bibliography is attached and this is session based. So if I'm in multiple articles and I'm highlighting away in these documents.
[00:30:34.000]
This will continuously build out during my session. If I leave my session.
[00:30:39.000]
And I don't send this information anywhere.
[00:30:41.000]
then I will lose it. And that's what this warning is. So I always say best practice
[00:30:47.000]
Send your marked up document.
[00:30:51.000]
to Google or Microsoft. Now, this is a 72,000 word document
[00:30:56.000]
Maybe you don't want to send the whole thing.
[00:30:58.000]
This might be one of those scenarios where you might want to pause and be like, okay.
[00:31:03.000]
But maybe you do. Maybe you want the entire document available in your Google Drive. You can do that.
[00:31:09.000]
But if you just want the highlights and notes, this is a great mini lesson for students.
[00:31:14.000]
If you're teaching students about their research skills.
[00:31:17.000]
I mentioned this in elementary and middle school also is using that highlights and notes as a mini lesson so that they're learning to use that tool.
[00:31:30.000]
All right, so you're going to find great content like that. Oh, one more thing. We're in full text, but we also have if the original document PDF is available.
[00:31:39.000]
We have that. You'll see the tab at the top inlet finder.
[00:31:43.000]
And of course, it's a very large novel that i
[00:31:47.000]
Oh, it's loading pretty quick. That's good.
[00:31:50.000]
But it's loading that whole entire document.
[00:31:54.000]
So I can view it.
[00:31:57.000]
as PDF.
[00:31:59.000]
I can also print and download this version.
[00:32:04.000]
So just as I would see the papers, I just don't have that translate feature. I would need to be in full text.
[00:32:11.000]
to be able to translate the text. This is literally a PDF of your
[00:32:16.000]
print title.
[00:32:18.000]
but you don't have check in, check out. You don't need to purchase multiple books.
[00:32:22.000]
you have this readily available within the resource for every
[00:32:26.000]
student to access. And then if they need
[00:32:29.000]
any of these tools to support accessibility, you have that available too. So imagine having books, a book in Spanish and then a book
[00:32:37.000]
in Italian or Filipino or Chinese, you have that option to translate into any of those
[00:32:44.000]
other languages. So you don't need multiple copies in different languages. You have it here.
[00:32:52.000]
Okay, so we talked about LitFinder. The last thing I wanted to share with you, please let me know if you have any questions.
[00:32:58.000]
Or if you'd like me to explore anything else, LitFinder is probably one of my favorites. I remember having a history teacher in one of my sessions
[00:33:06.000]
And they asked me, oh, well, you said something about speeches. Do you have inaugural speeches? And I was like, sure, let's take a look.
[00:33:15.000]
And so we did a search and sure enough, we had inaugural speeches available within Gale Literature Lit Finder. So keep that in mind that that's an awesome tool too.
[00:33:24.000]
And I can't remember who we did. I think we did Kennedy.
[00:33:31.000]
And what I would do is do that search and then over document type.
[00:33:37.000]
I would search for speech.
[00:33:40.000]
And then maybe there it is right at the top. I didn't even need to filter it down any further.
[00:33:47.000]
So we have those inaugural. So let your this isn't just for your ELA teachers. Your history teachers can utilize this too. I've even had
[00:33:54.000]
Actually, it was in Florida. I was doing a training in Florida and there was a science teacher in my
[00:34:01.000]
literature session and
[00:34:03.000]
I was curious. And so I asked and he said you know
[00:34:08.000]
This is an area I need to know a little bit more about because there are a lot of authors that write about nature or they write about space and
[00:34:17.000]
I can pull that into what I'm teaching in the classroom. And I remember thinking.
[00:34:22.000]
This is a teacher i would have wanted
[00:34:24.000]
As a student, he's probably an awesome teacher because he brings in other things. He's not just focused on science, but he brings in literature too.
[00:34:33.000]
And then I thought, then my second thought was I wish
[00:34:36.000]
My kids had a teacher like this. So keep that in mind that introduce this to your history and to your even to your science teachers, especially those innovative ones that you have in your building.
[00:34:48.000]
I've had…
[00:34:50.000]
multiple trainings in Florida. Thankfully, I've been able to support Florida for a number of years now.
[00:34:57.000]
And I had multiple opportunities to do trainings there and have met some fantastic teachers in my trainings and workshops. And I still use their ideas to this day that they've shared with me.
[00:35:08.000]
Just keep that in mind that this is not just for your English teachers that you're
[00:35:13.000]
Maybe your science or your history teachers can utilize this information too.
[00:35:18.000]
world language.
[00:35:20.000]
translate feature, right? Reading in a different language. So that's an idea too for your world language folks.
[00:35:26.000]
Okay, wanted to talk to you about one more resource. If there's no questions on Gale Literature Lit Finder, I could spend almost all day in here because I just love this resource.
[00:35:35.000]
But let's talk about another favorite, and that's your Gale eBooks.
[00:35:40.000]
I mentioned that
[00:35:42.000]
Because I'm accessing the Florida Electronic Library's
[00:35:46.000]
through their location.
[00:35:48.000]
So through, if you were to access through the feel
[00:35:52.000]
website, you would see the same thing for your Gale ebooks.
[00:35:56.000]
And that is these collections.
[00:35:59.000]
So these custom collections have already been created for you.
[00:36:04.000]
If you would like to
[00:36:07.000]
create your own. Again, I have information on the support site on how you can do that.
[00:36:13.000]
with your own collection on your own location ID information.
[00:36:18.000]
Each library has their own location ID and that you would be able to build your own collection. But if you would like
[00:36:27.000]
your students to come in and access this information through the Florida Electronic Library website, you could do that too.
[00:36:34.000]
Because it's already done for you. And we start with elementary, move into middle school, then we go into high school.
[00:36:40.000]
Although there is one high school collection at the top that's being highlighted right now, health and medicine
[00:36:47.000]
But we go into high school and then below that is all of our general. So more for our
[00:36:54.000]
More for our public library patrons because this, if you go through the Florida Electronic Library site.
[00:37:01.000]
This is available to all libraries.
[00:37:04.000]
So keep that in mind if you want it specific to your school, then please, please use your own
[00:37:09.000]
location information, your own direct URL for Gale ebooks but you can always
[00:37:14.000]
copy the ideas that you have that you're going to see here. So you can see some of those high school collections that have been created
[00:37:22.000]
We're going to go into careers and life skills.
[00:37:27.000]
Once I click into that collection, now my basic search is going to search just within that collection.
[00:37:35.000]
So it'll only look through these ebooks for whatever term I put into this box.
[00:37:42.000]
Where if I were back on that home page
[00:37:45.000]
Let me go back there. This basic search will search through all of my ebooks at once.
[00:37:51.000]
I do have some options to look for subject publication, or entire document.
[00:37:56.000]
for a term. But if I go to just the collection, as I just did, careers and life skills.
[00:38:03.000]
Then if I put a term in, it'll only look for
[00:38:07.000]
that term in this
[00:38:10.000]
smaller selection of ebooks that I have.
[00:38:14.000]
Let's say I'm interested in journalism.
[00:38:17.000]
So career opportunities in journalism
[00:38:20.000]
That A to Z book is a really great one too. Actually, you have so many great ebooks in your collection from
[00:38:26.000]
But I just selected this one. Gives you a bit of an overview. I can select view ebook, which is going to take me directly into that PDF version.
[00:38:37.000]
Kind of like what we were looking at in LitFinder.
[00:38:40.000]
But it's the PDF of the actual print book.
[00:38:44.000]
And I can view it as
[00:38:47.000]
It'll take me right to that front cover first.
[00:38:52.000]
I can view it as a PDF.
[00:38:54.000]
Tap or swipe.
[00:38:56.000]
It takes me right into that.
[00:38:59.000]
ebook. I also have the ability to
[00:39:02.000]
make it double page. I can make this fill my whole screen.
[00:39:06.000]
or just adjust my browser. I can zoom in, zoom out. All of those tools are here, fairly intuitive information, right?
[00:39:15.000]
Let me go back. Well, before I do, I…
[00:39:18.000]
In the book view, I also can switch to text view.
[00:39:22.000]
So when I click view ebook, it's going to take me to the book view.
[00:39:26.000]
But I can switch it to that text view
[00:39:28.000]
Which will still give me the images, but now I have the text that I can use all of my tools
[00:39:35.000]
To support accessibility on.
[00:39:37.000]
So I have to again be in text view.
[00:39:40.000]
book view is a PDF of that print title.
[00:39:46.000]
All right, let me go back.
[00:39:49.000]
I'm just going to go right back to the homepage and click back into that title to make my life a little bit quicker and easier here.
[00:39:57.000]
high school careers in life.
[00:39:59.000]
Okay. When I click into the cover, it does always take me to the table of contents. I can see the book index, any list of illustrations.
[00:40:07.000]
Here's my table of contents.
[00:40:10.000]
I can open, let's say I'm interested in being a managing editor for the newspaper.
[00:40:17.000]
I can jump to that section within that ebook.
[00:40:23.000]
Managing editor at the top there, I've got an image and then
[00:40:27.000]
goes into the description.
[00:40:30.000]
So if I click on the view ebook, it takes me to the PDF. If I click into that table of contents.
[00:40:37.000]
Then it's going to take me to exactly that.
[00:40:42.000]
It's going to, or I'm sorry, it's going to take me to the table of contents where then I can select where I want to go and I want to find out about managing editors.
[00:40:49.000]
I still have the full table of contents up here in my contextual toolbar.
[00:40:55.000]
So if I wanted to switch it up and say I'm interested in being a beat reporter.
[00:41:01.000]
I can do that.
[00:41:04.000]
And then I can go into that book view because right now I'm in text view.
[00:41:08.000]
I can go to book view.
[00:41:14.000]
And there we go.
[00:41:18.000]
Citations are always attached to every document image video that I have available MLA
[00:41:23.000]
Ninth edition is the default. We have APA Chicago and Harvard available.
[00:41:29.000]
We also have separately the citation tool
[00:41:33.000]
Where I can change the format just as I can at the document level. So this feature is available at the document level. But when I'm using the citation tool, it's just giving me the citation.
[00:41:45.000]
Where at the document level, and of course I picked a really long document
[00:41:50.000]
It's at the bottom.
[00:41:52.000]
I can change that format.
[00:41:54.000]
I also can choose where I'd like to export it. But if I'm going to save this document and send it.
[00:41:59.000]
to my Google Drive, OneDrive email, download or print, then I might want to change that source citation if I need another format.
[00:42:07.000]
before I send it.
[00:42:09.000]
And again, the citation tool is still here
[00:42:12.000]
And that's separate if I just need the citation
[00:42:15.000]
or let's say just want to export it to one of these locations, I have those options available.
[00:42:24.000]
One other thing I want to share with you is if I do, let's do a basic search.
[00:42:30.000]
And let's just do reporter.
[00:42:35.000]
Actually, let me go back. I want to stay in my collection.
[00:42:40.000]
I don't want to go.
[00:42:45.000]
Okay.
[00:42:47.000]
Reporter.
[00:42:53.000]
And you can see this is definitely the book. We've got some radio though here too.
[00:42:58.000]
similar publisher or same publisher
[00:43:03.000]
A to Z career jobs, but you can see the search results, court reporters
[00:43:08.000]
Copy editor, field producer, science writer
[00:43:12.000]
But when I do a search, this is how the results are going to show up.
[00:43:16.000]
I have the ability to filter my results just as I did in my other resources. All those same features are available, including Topic Finder.
[00:43:24.000]
I can share a link back to this collection that I've curated.
[00:43:29.000]
And share it wherever I'd like or pull it into Google Classroom. So all those same things and features are available.
[00:43:37.000]
If I click into the cover, remember, it's going to take you to that table of contents.
[00:43:42.000]
If I click into the title.
[00:43:45.000]
Let me go a little further down. Let's choose something else from a different book.
[00:43:50.000]
let's say a weather reporter.
[00:43:52.000]
it will take me to
[00:43:54.000]
that article.
[00:44:01.000]
So clicking into the title in my search results will take me right into that article.
[00:44:09.000]
All right, let me go back. There's no questions. I just want to share with you real quick where you can go for additional support
[00:44:16.000]
And that is your Gale support site
[00:44:20.000]
The link is here at the top. I will also share it in the chat.
