[00:00:06.908]
Thank you again everyone for being here.

[00:00:09.050]
Today. We're going to be talking about getting healthy

[00:00:11.448]
with gale health and wellness. My

[00:00:13.538]
name is Amber Winters and I am your gale training

[00:00:15.960]
consultant for the day

[00:00:19.297]
So today first of course we're going to talk about

[00:00:21.440]
exactly what gale health and wellness is.

[00:00:24.309]
We're going to focus specifically on the content

[00:00:26.818]
that's going to be found to help your patrons as

[00:00:28.899]
they start trying to live a little

[00:00:31.010]
bit more healthy. this session

[00:00:33.209]
is being recorded in january, so I'm

[00:00:35.417]
sure a lot of your pa are coming in looking for

[00:00:37.465]
health tips at the, at the start

[00:00:39.542]
of the new year. So we're going to go over the

[00:00:41.634]
different bits of content as well as the resource

[00:00:43.935]
platform and the resource workflow

[00:00:46.944]
that's going to help them as they run

[00:00:49.314]
through their own discovery. So we will take time

[00:00:51.514]
to walk through the resource

[00:00:54.039]
And at the end of the session we will have time for

[00:00:56.079]
questions and I have some closing information

[00:00:58.219]
with some contact information for you

[00:01:00.329]
as well. Again, if you have questions

[00:01:02.380]
as we move through the session, you don't need

[00:01:04.400]
to wait until the end of the session if you don't want to

[00:01:06.540]
go ahead and put them into the Q. And A. And I'll be

[00:01:08.659]
able to answer them as we move along.

[00:01:12.430]
So, first let's just go over briefly what

[00:01:14.569]
exactly gale health and wellness is.

[00:01:16.739]
And this is a resource that's really going to,

[00:01:19.087]
it's a, a very broad resource that's going to

[00:01:21.099]
help a lot of different patron types

[00:01:23.239]
that you may run into. You have access

[00:01:25.430]
to content anywhere from full text

[00:01:27.629]
medical journals down to

[00:01:29.688]
news and magazines or reference work. So

[00:01:31.730]
you're really getting the basic intermediate and

[00:01:33.750]
advanced leveled content found here

[00:01:35.769]
in this. And it is focused really

[00:01:37.918]
on everything, health and wellness. So you're going to get

[00:01:40.218]
the standard, what you would expect, like diseases

[00:01:42.408]
and disorders, you're also going to get

[00:01:44.557]
different treatments as well as other health topics

[00:01:46.789]
that may not be strictly mainstream

[00:01:48.799]
medicine. You may get information

[00:01:51.057]
on holistic treatments or information on

[00:01:53.079]
exercise and yoga, things like that. So

[00:01:55.239]
it's really kind of an all encompassing

[00:01:57.259]
product that you're going to spend a lot of great information

[00:01:59.807]
on. and it has a nice

[00:02:02.040]
clean organization. So if your patrons are starting

[00:02:04.370]
to kind of be beginner researchers a little bit

[00:02:06.459]
and aren't quite sure where they need to go.

[00:02:08.688]
We have really nice topic pages that are pre

[00:02:10.878]
created for them. We pull together all

[00:02:13.080]
of the different contents related to whatever

[00:02:15.318]
topic they searched or browsed for.

[00:02:17.429]
And they'll be able to point and click through that instead of having

[00:02:19.679]
to kind of navigate through a basic

[00:02:21.837]
search results page.

[00:02:24.139]
And in addition to that workflow, we have some

[00:02:26.250]
really nice tools. So not only today are we

[00:02:28.300]
going to take a look at the content that's going

[00:02:30.329]
to support a healthy lifestyle for your patrons,

[00:02:32.800]
but we're also going to learn how they can manipulate

[00:02:34.968]
that text to make it as accessible as it possibly

[00:02:37.418]
can be for them. And also how to take

[00:02:39.438]
the text with them. So if they do find something

[00:02:41.617]
really helpful while they're on the computer,

[00:02:43.740]
say at your library as opposed to being home,

[00:02:45.800]
we're going to go over some different workflows for

[00:02:47.837]
them to save that content to take a look at later.

[00:02:50.860]
a great way for them to save content. If

[00:02:53.087]
they're planning on speaking with their doctor, they can

[00:02:55.098]
save whatever article they found and

[00:02:57.218]
they'll have it prepared and ready for them to go when they do

[00:02:59.319]
speak with them.

[00:03:02.837]
So first I just wanna go briefly into

[00:03:05.008]
the different content types

[00:03:07.110]
we have available and how they can be helpful. So first

[00:03:10.050]
a big chunk of information

[00:03:12.360]
we have within this resource is going to be

[00:03:14.378]
reference articles. So again this

[00:03:16.449]
is really excuse me.

[00:03:18.837]
this is really basic information

[00:03:21.079]
that's going to allow your patrons to kind of build

[00:03:23.258]
their found foundational information about

[00:03:25.389]
whatever they're learning about. maybe it's

[00:03:27.478]
heart disease, if they're worried about their risk factors

[00:03:29.899]
that way, maybe it's exercise, Maybe they've decided

[00:03:32.158]
they need to work on their diet this year.

[00:03:34.538]
they'll get these reference articles that

[00:03:36.610]
are going to give them that base level of knowledge

[00:03:38.800]
before they start going any further. So

[00:03:40.837]
those are going to be the starting point for most likely.

[00:03:43.337]
A lot of your patron research.

[00:03:45.860]
moving from there, We have news and magazine

[00:03:48.098]
reports that are updated daily.

[00:03:50.319]
So if your patrons are looking for information that's

[00:03:52.538]
currently in the news, they currently want to see what's

[00:03:54.658]
going on. This will be a great place for them

[00:03:56.819]
to stop as well. So it's going to let them connect

[00:03:58.938]
to those topics as they're happening.

[00:04:01.117]
So they'll get informa information like

[00:04:03.240]
maybe community health or something like that, or

[00:04:05.774]
they can find information on different medical breakthroughs.

[00:04:08.343]
Maybe there's a new treatment for something

[00:04:10.853]
they're struggling with. They'll be able to find that

[00:04:12.973]
on this platform as well. And again, the news and magazines

[00:04:15.774]
are updated daily. So they're

[00:04:17.923]
getting that most current content

[00:04:20.355]
that we have

[00:04:22.139]
We also have a pretty huge multimedia

[00:04:24.379]
collection as well. So if you have patrons

[00:04:26.389]
who are maybe struggling with reading,

[00:04:28.449]
maybe english isn't their first language, or maybe

[00:04:30.660]
they just have difficulty reading screens,

[00:04:32.927]
they can take a look at some of the different

[00:04:35.079]
videos. We have audio files and images as

[00:04:37.269]
well. And they're able to take a look through those

[00:04:39.677]
instead of that text formatting. So we

[00:04:41.808]
do like to supplement our text with a lot

[00:04:43.869]
of multimedia that's going to help them.

[00:04:46.298]
and within our images sections. We also have

[00:04:48.480]
a lot of great graphs and charts

[00:04:50.600]
and statistics and things like that. So

[00:04:52.798]
again giving your patrons just another level

[00:04:55.100]
of content to help them

[00:04:57.237]
understand whatever topic they're trying to learn

[00:04:59.298]
about.

[00:05:00.230]
And as I previously mentioned, we do have full

[00:05:02.237]
text academic medical journals.

[00:05:04.759]
So of course that's going to be for your more advanced

[00:05:07.100]
researchers. Maybe you have individuals

[00:05:09.220]
coming in from the, the local community college

[00:05:11.608]
or from a high school or something like that

[00:05:13.670]
and they need that kind of more advanced,

[00:05:15.699]
moving away from consumer focus

[00:05:17.750]
to more advanced academic work.

[00:05:19.970]
They can find that information here on this resource

[00:05:22.230]
as well.

[00:05:23.439]
So, again, a really nice holistic approach here,

[00:05:25.949]
and all of this content, as I mentioned, is

[00:05:28.259]
organized in two different topic pages.

[00:05:30.439]
So you'll see, I've pulled forward here. We have

[00:05:32.569]
a topic page specifically related to fitness.

[00:05:35.100]
So if your patrons are coming in trying

[00:05:37.480]
to start their own exercise regimen

[00:05:39.659]
or something like that, they can click into this nice

[00:05:41.769]
topic page.

[00:05:43.358]
when they do at the very top of that

[00:05:45.480]
page, they're going to get a nice overview of

[00:05:47.670]
just fitness in general. So they're going to understand

[00:05:50.420]
what fitness is, what kind of the

[00:05:52.970]
the expectations of fitness are.

[00:05:55.129]
They'll find that in the overview

[00:05:57.548]
then down below that they're going to see all of

[00:05:59.569]
the different results related to fitness.

[00:06:01.689]
So this is what they'd see if they just ran a

[00:06:03.709]
basic search for fitness. You'll see right now. We

[00:06:05.829]
have over a million magazine

[00:06:07.927]
articles related to fitness. We have our academic

[00:06:10.459]
works pulled out here. All of our multimedia

[00:06:13.149]
will be found here as well. So these topic pages

[00:06:15.487]
organize and pull all of that content together

[00:06:18.149]
to make this really simple for your patrons to access.

[00:06:21.278]
And down underneath that we also have a

[00:06:23.290]
search within option. So as they start to look

[00:06:25.389]
through this topic page, if maybe they're finding a lot

[00:06:27.439]
of content that isn't directly what

[00:06:29.480]
they're looking for. Maybe they're specifically

[00:06:31.500]
focused on yoga or something like that. Some specific

[00:06:34.000]
type of fitness. They can type that into

[00:06:36.170]
the search within and gets more exact

[00:06:38.649]
results for what they're looking for.

[00:06:41.649]
and before we do dive in, I have just a few key

[00:06:43.778]
topic pages. I want to mention that you may want

[00:06:45.819]
to point out to your patrons, especially

[00:06:47.927]
if you have individ individuals coming into your

[00:06:49.987]
library asking you for information or

[00:06:52.350]
maybe you're running a program a around around

[00:06:54.427]
healthy living. We do have some great topic

[00:06:56.899]
pages that you can get a quick

[00:06:59.048]
link to and share out either on your

[00:07:01.069]
social media or your life, great website wherever

[00:07:03.084]
you wanted to go. So of course fitness.

[00:07:05.314]
I've listed here. You'll see my screen chat here. But we

[00:07:07.423]
also have topic pages on obesity

[00:07:10.052]
and obesity related illnesses like heart

[00:07:12.134]
disease and diabetes. We have

[00:07:14.184]
a, a really huge mental health section

[00:07:16.233]
that I'm going to point out to you today for your

[00:07:18.254]
patrons. So if they are help struggling

[00:07:20.994]
with some sort of um

[00:07:22.910]
Mental health concern like depression,

[00:07:25.269]
anxiety. We've got information to help

[00:07:27.509]
them. We have great topic

[00:07:29.600]
pages on vaping and vaccines. I

[00:07:31.608]
think vaping is especially important if you have

[00:07:34.048]
many patients coming in with

[00:07:36.189]
Children who are kind of struggling with vaping.

[00:07:38.500]
Of course, that's a big issue in high schools right now.

[00:07:40.808]
We got a full, topic page for that as well.

[00:07:42.939]
We do have a full diets topic

[00:07:45.058]
page. We're actually going to take a look at that today.

[00:07:47.149]
So we can see some of the different diets and

[00:07:49.209]
kind of learn background. We also

[00:07:51.237]
have information on different medications

[00:07:53.750]
as well as different exams,

[00:07:56.028]
different tests and things like that, you'll say have included

[00:07:58.100]
physical examination here.

[00:08:00.009]
this is a really beneficial one. If your patrons

[00:08:02.290]
are just starting to go to the doctor. Maybe

[00:08:04.369]
it's been a been a while and they're

[00:08:06.459]
just starting to go back or maybe they're just

[00:08:08.920]
turning into adults and they have to go in for that

[00:08:10.987]
adults physical examination. We actually

[00:08:13.160]
give a background on those just to help

[00:08:15.269]
ease the anxiety of going to the doctor a little

[00:08:17.350]
bit. They'll also find information

[00:08:19.379]
And if they need x-rays or biopsies

[00:08:21.677]
or ultrasounds. all that good

[00:08:23.737]
stuff is found here on this resource as well.

[00:08:25.959]
So it's a one stop shop to make sure

[00:08:27.980]
they understand what's going on around them and make

[00:08:30.069]
sure we can try to ease the

[00:08:32.090]
anxiety of going to the doctor a little bit

[00:08:35.908]
So let's go ahead and take a look here. We'll go through some

[00:08:37.969]
of the different workflows and how your patrons

[00:08:40.259]
can access this content.

[00:08:42.109]
while I switch over. Does

[00:08:44.278]
anyone have any questions, Let's

[00:08:46.590]
see. Here we go.

[00:08:48.009]
for me, as we get going,

[00:08:53.548]
OK?

[00:08:54.710]
I don't see any questions. So we'll go ahead

[00:08:56.927]
and just get rolling here. So this is the

[00:08:58.979]
home page to gale health and wellness.

[00:09:01.278]
And I will point out

[00:09:03.119]
towards the top of the page here under

[00:09:05.200]
our topics of interest. We do change

[00:09:07.330]
these frequently depending on what's going on. So

[00:09:09.349]
you'll see COVID-19 has

[00:09:11.408]
been listed on this little carousel for

[00:09:14.038]
quite a while, but we also include

[00:09:16.239]
some other things listed here as well as poverty

[00:09:18.418]
and health as well as senior health. We've

[00:09:20.528]
decided to pull forward today. So if your patrons

[00:09:22.807]
find one of those topics interesting, they

[00:09:25.177]
can click directly there without even having to run

[00:09:27.200]
a search. They'll be able to access that content

[00:09:30.830]
of course we have our search bar up top.

[00:09:33.080]
But today I want to show you how you can click through

[00:09:35.278]
using our browse topics option.

[00:09:37.677]
And this is really great if your patron doesn't know exactly

[00:09:40.427]
what they want to search.

[00:09:42.489]
We have this access here. So

[00:09:44.908]
two sections I want to point out today, since we're talking

[00:09:47.250]
about healthy living are going to be

[00:09:49.469]
the therapies, treatments and surgery

[00:09:51.729]
section.

[00:09:53.619]
because the treatments is going to

[00:09:55.820]
include things like exercise,

[00:09:58.557]
like diets, um, weight

[00:10:00.969]
loss, things like that. It's going to show

[00:10:02.979]
different treatments for those things and a lot

[00:10:05.028]
of those treatments are going to be individual

[00:10:07.219]
driven, not necessarily going out to the doctor

[00:10:10.200]
So this therapy treatments and surgeries section

[00:10:12.427]
is really great to find content.

[00:10:14.469]
And then our mental health section, we've pulled

[00:10:16.700]
forward as well. So all of our mental health

[00:10:18.849]
information, we've pulled to this one

[00:10:21.070]
page here. You'll see. We've pulled out and highlighted

[00:10:23.149]
56 topics that

[00:10:25.210]
are most used and most searched within

[00:10:27.389]
this platform. So they can access this directly

[00:10:29.690]
here. See if they can find exactly what they're

[00:10:31.739]
looking for.

[00:10:33.788]
So let's click now into just this

[00:10:35.859]
therapy treatments and surgeries options.

[00:10:39.278]
and you'll see listed.

[00:10:41.528]
Let me jump back quickly right next to the title.

[00:10:43.710]
There were 81 topics listed

[00:10:45.927]
here and of course these 81 are not

[00:10:48.460]
the only topics we have available,

[00:10:50.619]
but we do choose to pull forward into these categories.

[00:10:53.489]
The most searched and the most used.

[00:10:55.690]
So this is for the most part what your users,

[00:10:58.099]
your patrons are looking for. Of course,

[00:11:00.177]
if they can't find what they're looking for, they

[00:11:02.190]
can run a search and they'll still pull great contents.

[00:11:04.840]
It's just sometimes we don't have them listed

[00:11:06.859]
here and you'll

[00:11:08.960]
notice a lot of these have either updated

[00:11:11.210]
or new flags attached to them. So,

[00:11:13.548]
new means we've just added and highlighted

[00:11:15.590]
this topic to this section. So

[00:11:17.629]
running and jogging is something that's

[00:11:19.769]
must be gaining

[00:11:21.788]
in popularity. So we've started to include

[00:11:23.908]
that here. If it's listed as updated,

[00:11:26.418]
that means we've changed they featured content

[00:11:28.830]
in it within the

[00:11:31.080]
Excuse me, the last few months.

[00:11:33.259]
So you'll see these flags listed here.

[00:11:36.109]
and what's great is on this topic page.

[00:11:38.269]
I can choose to look at different sections here.

[00:11:40.940]
I can choose using this strap down just to

[00:11:42.969]
take a look at those new or updated options.

[00:11:45.820]
Maybe I just want to take a look at what

[00:11:48.177]
what people are currently looking for. Of course R.

[00:11:50.200]
S. B. has been really pulled

[00:11:52.590]
forward recently. So if they're looking for information

[00:11:54.927]
there, they can simply take a look at that.

[00:11:58.158]
if I clicked into this therapies option.

[00:12:00.379]
But I actually want to take a look at mental

[00:12:02.658]
health. I can click into that section

[00:12:04.849]
here or

[00:12:08.038]
maybe I'm looking for drugs. You know, I

[00:12:10.307]
am looking specifically for a weight loss drug.

[00:12:12.807]
I can take a look here and kind of start

[00:12:14.849]
to move forward.

[00:12:17.590]
But we'll stick here with therapies, treatments

[00:12:19.778]
and surgeries today. I'm gonna

[00:12:21.889]
scroll down, I'm going to look at diets because

[00:12:24.239]
again, it's the start of the new year

[00:12:26.408]
at the time where this is being recorded. Maybe

[00:12:28.538]
not whoever is watching this, but as

[00:12:30.710]
this is recorded, it's the start to a new year.

[00:12:32.960]
So we'll click into diets because again this is

[00:12:35.109]
probably where a lot of patrons are trying to

[00:12:37.149]
get to

[00:12:39.019]
And now we're on our topic page here. So again we

[00:12:41.168]
have our overview at the very top

[00:12:43.298]
and then scrolling down, we have these different content

[00:12:45.759]
buckets that are going to include the different content

[00:12:48.070]
types. So we've pulled reference

[00:12:50.119]
works out separately from magazines.

[00:12:52.759]
We have our images listed here again, as I mentioned

[00:12:55.038]
a lot of times, we have some great statistics

[00:12:57.639]
or different kind of bits of information

[00:13:00.019]
like infographics and things like that.

[00:13:02.820]
down further. You'll see. We do have

[00:13:05.080]
our academic journals pulled out here as well.

[00:13:07.500]
You'll see these are listed as peer reviewed.

[00:13:09.778]
So if you have students coming in

[00:13:11.840]
again, maybe from the local community college

[00:13:14.119]
or maybe if you're with a school on the line with

[00:13:16.259]
us today we do label things

[00:13:18.460]
that are peer reviewed as peer reviewed. So if they

[00:13:20.479]
need that content, they'll be able to easily find

[00:13:22.619]
that Let's

[00:13:25.139]
scroll back up here.

[00:13:26.940]
So while I'm on this topic page, maybe you as a librarian

[00:13:29.479]
found this you have a lot of

[00:13:31.807]
individuals coming in wanting information

[00:13:34.139]
about different diets. You can use

[00:13:36.269]
this get link button at the very top here

[00:13:39.820]
and you can copy and paste this and send

[00:13:42.019]
it wherever you want it to go. So maybe you want to

[00:13:44.219]
forward along. Maybe you have a a list serve for

[00:13:46.557]
for patrons. You can forward it along that way.

[00:13:48.599]
Maybe you want to put it on your library's web

[00:13:50.658]
page, you want to send it out in

[00:13:52.899]
a social media post. This is a persistent

[00:13:55.359]
URL that's not going to break. So any of

[00:13:57.408]
your patrons will be able to click in and

[00:13:59.778]
look at this topic page and then they can move forward

[00:14:02.177]
with their own research. So this is still

[00:14:04.359]
giving them a pretty broad

[00:14:06.788]
set of content. You're not narrowing it down

[00:14:08.979]
too much for them, but you're still helping

[00:14:11.038]
them navigate to exactly what they need.

[00:14:14.759]
and this get link feature does actually follow

[00:14:16.849]
us around on almost all pages.

[00:14:19.278]
So you or your patrons can really

[00:14:21.330]
get a link to any page. You want to be an

[00:14:23.469]
article. Maybe a list of

[00:14:25.580]
search results. You can use your get link

[00:14:29.729]
today. I'm going to click to click into all

[00:14:31.739]
of my reference works here because again, that's kind

[00:14:33.859]
of our basic content and that's

[00:14:36.009]
where I want to be as a patron. I'm just starting

[00:14:38.177]
off learning. I want to take a look at my reference here.

[00:14:42.899]
on this right hand side. I first want to show

[00:14:44.918]
some of our different filters and you'll notice

[00:14:47.219]
we have the option to narrow down to just

[00:14:49.418]
spanish content.

[00:14:51.139]
And this is native spanish content. This isn't

[00:14:53.418]
content that has been translated into spanish.

[00:14:56.129]
this is written in spanish.

[00:14:58.440]
Generally the publication is going to be spanish.

[00:15:01.979]
So you'll see. We can pull that forward here.

[00:15:04.278]
So if you do have patrons looking for spanish

[00:15:06.379]
content they can narrow it down.

[00:15:08.389]
If they run a search, they can also go

[00:15:10.500]
onto our advanced search and there's a filter

[00:15:12.700]
for just spanish content there as well.

[00:15:14.739]
So they can actually begin their search

[00:15:17.080]
in spanish

[00:15:19.239]
I'm not going to turn that on today though.

[00:15:21.288]
We'll leave that off. I can also narrow

[00:15:23.408]
it down to consumer health. So this is going

[00:15:25.519]
to make sure I'm not getting a lot of that.

[00:15:27.609]
really advanced medical journal

[00:15:29.619]
content. If I really just need the more basic

[00:15:31.889]
level I can choose just to narrow that down

[00:15:34.149]
here.

[00:15:35.109]
I can also choose different subjects

[00:15:39.219]
see I have different subjects tagged here

[00:15:41.509]
and I can also choose a publication title if

[00:15:43.649]
I want

[00:15:45.460]
I'm going to leave those blank today though and

[00:15:47.609]
you'll see as I start start to scroll down here in

[00:15:49.639]
this left hand side, you'll see we have a lot of

[00:15:51.899]
information on fad diets. A lot of

[00:15:54.000]
different types of diets here.

[00:15:56.710]
I can click into any of these. let's go

[00:15:58.918]
ahead and click into a keto diet.

[00:16:01.080]
Of course a lot of individuals are on

[00:16:03.099]
keto diets. So if someone's interested,

[00:16:05.580]
we can click into this now.

[00:16:08.080]
Again, as I mentioned, get link has followed

[00:16:10.177]
me along. So if I found this really interesting,

[00:16:12.619]
maybe I want to share it with someone. I can

[00:16:14.759]
do that with my get link.

[00:16:17.908]
I can start to scroll down here and you'll see I have

[00:16:20.028]
my full text but on this right hand

[00:16:22.099]
side I also have an explorer option

[00:16:24.298]
that's going to give me some additional information.

[00:16:26.969]
So this is really great to move them forward if

[00:16:29.019]
they learned a bit about keto diet, they

[00:16:31.139]
want to learn more.

[00:16:33.219]
They can take a look at that here. You see this

[00:16:35.379]
related subjects is often times really helpful.

[00:16:37.548]
Maybe they now want to take a look at the Atkins

[00:16:39.889]
diet or something like that.

[00:16:43.278]
scrolling down here. I also want to point

[00:16:45.298]
out, we have our citation included.

[00:16:47.629]
So if you're a student coming into the library

[00:16:49.778]
using this for a project,

[00:16:52.080]
we do have our source citation built in right

[00:16:54.330]
there for them.

[00:16:57.090]
You'll notice a lot of these have these blue

[00:16:59.408]
sidebars. This one here, the questions to

[00:17:01.418]
ask your do doctor I think is really important

[00:17:04.180]
because of course this platform isn't going to

[00:17:06.670]
replace a doctor but it could certainly

[00:17:08.979]
help spark conversation

[00:17:11.107]
spark. Um

[00:17:12.979]
some different ideas that your patrons can

[00:17:15.140]
bring to their doctor. So if they are planning on getting

[00:17:17.308]
healthy and want to discuss they

[00:17:19.420]
could pull these questions and have that ready

[00:17:21.630]
to go so they don't get into the situation where they

[00:17:23.640]
get home from the doctor and say,

[00:17:25.567]
you know dang, I wish I would have asked blah blah

[00:17:27.680]
blah while I was there, they can pull these questions

[00:17:30.058]
right here on our platform, you'll see those in a lot

[00:17:32.180]
of different

[00:17:33.548]
articles. You'll see this one's also got

[00:17:35.607]
some key terms here. You'll see some of them look

[00:17:37.709]
fairly um

[00:17:39.680]
complicated in my opinion.

[00:17:41.729]
So we'll give definitions for all that good stuff

[00:17:44.558]
and again, they can pull this forward here.

[00:17:47.880]
and keep it with them.

[00:17:49.439]
And not only can they get

[00:17:51.459]
a link of this document if they want to, they can

[00:17:53.660]
print it out, they can download it to their computer

[00:17:56.367]
or they can send it in a few different

[00:17:58.420]
in kind of tech ways,

[00:18:00.739]
they can send it over to their drives if

[00:18:02.798]
they're using google drive or

[00:18:04.827]
one drive or integrated with both.

[00:18:07.087]
So they can choose these different bits of content

[00:18:09.367]
and send them over to those drives to save for later.

[00:18:11.759]
Or they can email to themselves or to

[00:18:13.788]
someone else

[00:18:16.140]
So again, if they find something really great,

[00:18:18.150]
maybe they want to send it over to their kids or

[00:18:20.199]
their parents or wherever they want

[00:18:22.269]
it to go. They can do that in quite a few different ways.

[00:18:25.837]
They can also edit how they see this text

[00:18:28.180]
here. So if you have patrons coming in.

[00:18:30.337]
maybe they want this text in spanish,

[00:18:32.880]
Maybe we don't have a spanish version of this.

[00:18:35.278]
They can translate this english article

[00:18:37.519]
using our translate button here

[00:18:40.048]
They could click pull it down and

[00:18:42.067]
choose whatever language they need.

[00:18:45.180]
We also have the ability to increase or decrease

[00:18:47.558]
the font size. So if you have patrons

[00:18:49.689]
who are visually impaired, who need

[00:18:51.798]
that larger text, they can change any of those

[00:18:54.140]
right here.

[00:18:55.729]
We can also change how the text

[00:18:57.910]
is displayed to make it as easy as possible

[00:19:00.107]
to see if you have patrons coming in

[00:19:02.250]
who are dyslexic. We do have a dyslexia

[00:19:05.028]
font available for them

[00:19:06.709]
and we can also change the line letter and word

[00:19:08.729]
spacing. Again, trying to

[00:19:10.847]
keep it as customizable

[00:19:13.538]
as possible to make sure your patrons

[00:19:15.617]
are getting exactly what they need

[00:19:18.209]
I'm going to leave this, I'm gonna go back to my default

[00:19:20.380]
here though,

[00:19:21.170]
but I can change this at any time

[00:19:23.597]
Your patrons can also listen to this content.

[00:19:26.019]
So again, if they find something really helpful

[00:19:28.199]
and maybe they're struggling readers a little bit,

[00:19:30.298]
they can have this full article read to them.

[00:19:32.890]
I'm just going to pause it here. I'm not going to play

[00:19:34.920]
it because you can see here when I hit that play

[00:19:37.140]
button and pulls forward this option here,

[00:19:39.367]
I can actually download this as an mp3.

[00:19:41.597]
So if I want to take this with me and maybe listen

[00:19:43.719]
to it later,

[00:19:44.817]
I can do that. As opposed to sending over the

[00:19:46.857]
text, I can send over the actual

[00:19:49.219]
recording of what's being read to

[00:19:51.288]
me And

[00:19:54.817]
I do have another way to find some content that

[00:19:56.837]
I want to take a look at before we leave

[00:19:58.949]
today, we've got about 10 minutes left

[00:20:01.189]
before I do that, does anyone have any questions

[00:20:03.650]
about what we went through browsing through?

[00:20:05.689]
Topic pages, filtering anything

[00:20:07.778]
like that

[00:20:12.739]
Ok? I don't see any. So the last thing

[00:20:14.750]
I want to show you before we're done with the day is our topic

[00:20:16.989]
finder. This is really great. If your patrons

[00:20:19.298]
have a really broad topic that maybe

[00:20:21.308]
they're trying to narrow down when they run the search,

[00:20:23.519]
they're just pulling way too much content.

[00:20:25.617]
I just click into my advanced search

[00:20:28.317]
And when I click in here, you'll see. Topic finder is listed

[00:20:30.680]
as one of my options in this gray bar at the

[00:20:32.729]
very top. So I'll click into that.

[00:20:35.989]
and what I do. I'm going to be able to run a search

[00:20:38.087]
for whatever I'm interested in. Let's just do

[00:20:40.097]
mental health.

[00:20:43.130]
So when I run my search, I'm going to get this nice

[00:20:45.229]
little interactive

[00:20:47.459]
chart here, we'll be able to click

[00:20:49.538]
into a specific subsection

[00:20:52.199]
of mental health. So maybe I'm specifically

[00:20:54.719]
looking for information on college

[00:20:56.739]
students. You know, maybe I'm a concerned parent coming

[00:20:59.107]
in whose student may be struggling a bit

[00:21:01.390]
with some mental health issues. I can click

[00:21:03.459]
in there

[00:21:04.327]
and you'll see now we've narrowed it down to 34

[00:21:06.469]
results here on this right hand side for

[00:21:08.500]
patrons to click through

[00:21:10.150]
So this is starting to narrow down exactly what

[00:21:12.259]
they're seeing

[00:21:13.837]
and they can go down a step further. So

[00:21:15.900]
maybe they want to take a look at mental health

[00:21:17.920]
services,

[00:21:19.798]
And you'll see now we've narrowed down to 10 results.

[00:21:22.890]
So this is a really nice way for them to drill

[00:21:24.969]
down to exactly what they need without

[00:21:27.199]
having to run a lot of searches or without having

[00:21:29.509]
to tailor an advanced search to

[00:21:31.558]
what they're looking for. They can just type in their

[00:21:33.567]
search and narrow down all on their own and

[00:21:35.939]
then they'll be able to click directly into whatever piece of

[00:21:38.019]
text they think is going to be most

[00:21:40.087]
beneficial for them.

[00:21:42.410]
when they do that, you'll see it looks just

[00:21:44.459]
like it did previously. If they were to just navigate

[00:21:47.087]
by running a search. And

[00:21:49.140]
then again, they have all of those same different tools

[00:21:51.390]
if they want to send this somewhere, if

[00:21:53.420]
they want to print it out for later, they

[00:21:55.528]
can do that on this page as well.

[00:22:01.410]
now, I do have some wrap up information for

[00:22:03.587]
you while I'm switching over that. I'll ask

[00:22:05.709]
again if we have any questions,

[00:22:08.000]
I haven't seen any pop up but I don't want

[00:22:10.009]
to miss any.

[00:22:11.317]
so go ahead and put them into the Q. And A. And

[00:22:13.449]
I can go over some quick contact

[00:22:15.587]
information with you. So you'll have access

[00:22:17.867]
to a customer success manager. So if you

[00:22:19.959]
want to go over this resource a little bit more,

[00:22:22.390]
maybe take a deeper dive into the different

[00:22:24.509]
tools. I just mentioned that we could and go all the way

[00:22:26.597]
through today. Or maybe you want to talk about usage

[00:22:29.058]
or resource promotion. Your customer

[00:22:31.199]
success manager is going to be able to help

[00:22:33.278]
you out with all of those things if you haven't

[00:22:35.420]
worked with them yet, I would suggest reaching out to

[00:22:37.519]
them. If you don't know who it is, you can send

[00:22:39.630]
an email to gale at customer success

[00:22:41.729]
at dot com and you'll be forwarded

[00:22:43.857]
to the correct individual and you can set

[00:22:45.969]
an appointment with them and really go over anything

[00:22:48.180]
you need to regarding your resources.

[00:22:51.538]
if you don't have gale health and wellness and you want to

[00:22:53.567]
talk about it, you can reach out to your sales consultant

[00:22:56.199]
if you haven't been in contact with them yet,

[00:22:58.239]
you can find them using support that. Gale dot com

[00:23:00.640]
forward slash finder and I'll forward you to the correct

[00:23:02.808]
person.

[00:23:04.219]
and if you want some more training materials,

[00:23:06.699]
so we'll have additional

[00:23:08.028]
wears like you saw today or if you're

[00:23:10.058]

[00:23:12.180]
tutorials, resource guides, flyers,

[00:23:14.630]

[00:23:17.199]
you'll find all of that great content on our support

[00:23:19.558]
site, which is support that Gale dot com

[00:23:22.097]
and we've created this stuff. It's ready, It's free

[00:23:24.390]
for you all to use. So don't feel like you need to reinvent

[00:23:26.857]
the wheel. If you're planning on promoting

[00:23:29.160]
or using any of your Gale resources,

[00:23:31.239]
take a look at this at this support

[00:23:33.660]
site before you build your own content because

[00:23:35.837]
we might have something that'll make your life just a little bit

[00:23:37.920]
easier.

[00:23:39.709]
and finally, I do have a training session

[00:23:41.969]
survey. I would love for you all to take. If you have

[00:23:44.130]
the time. If you want to scan this

[00:23:46.150]
QR code, it's going to launch you right into

[00:23:48.430]
the survey

[00:23:49.808]
the URL is bit dot forward

[00:23:51.989]
slash G training email and I believe

[00:23:54.019]

[00:23:56.130]
we're done with our session today. so

[00:23:58.390]
I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of bombarding you just

[00:24:00.469]
a little bit with the link to the training

[00:24:02.739]
session survey, but we want to make sure

[00:24:05.028]
that we're hitting everything you all are looking for

[00:24:07.209]
when you register. So please go ahead

[00:24:09.327]
and take that if you have the time

[00:24:12.357]
and again, I haven't seen any questions

[00:24:14.439]
pop up on the line. So I'm going to

[00:24:16.489]
go ahead and end our session for the day. If

[00:24:18.798]
you do have questions feel free to reach out

[00:24:20.880]

[00:24:23.140]
