Gale Training

[00:00:04.948]
Today, we're going to be talking about how you can

[00:00:07.150]
support your patrons affected by both

[00:00:09.179]
Alzheimer's disease and dementia specifically

[00:00:11.919]
with Gale health and wellness. My name

[00:00:13.970]
is Amber Winters and I am a senior senior

[00:00:16.388]
training consultant here at Gale

[00:00:18.519]
and I'll be working with you today through this session.

[00:00:21.199]
So a quick agenda. First, I do want to talk about

[00:00:23.420]
some of the supporting content that we have

[00:00:25.500]
available for your patrons. I will briefly

[00:00:27.658]
mention just what gil health and wellness

[00:00:29.929]
is overall and then go over a bit of that

[00:00:31.958]
content but will mainly be within

[00:00:34.020]
the resource today because I want to show you some of

[00:00:36.060]
the different different workflows your patrons can utilize

[00:00:38.439]
as well as some different kind of little

[00:00:40.700]
gems within the resource that could definitely help

[00:00:42.770]
all sorts of patrons who are looking

[00:00:44.918]
for content either to support

[00:00:46.929]
themselves or to support loved ones

[00:00:48.969]
who are going through these terrible diseases.

[00:00:51.789]
And at the end of the session, we should have some time

[00:00:53.918]
for wrap up as well as questions and I do

[00:00:56.079]
have some contact information for you

[00:00:58.158]
there as well.

[00:00:59.939]
But if we have questions as we walk through the session

[00:01:02.069]
today, feel free to put them into the Q and

[00:01:04.159]
A and I should be able to answer them as we

[00:01:06.219]
move forward. But if we do start to see a lot

[00:01:08.349]
of questions in that Q and A that I will hold off just

[00:01:10.500]
until the very end of the session. So even

[00:01:12.698]
if your question isn't answered right away, don't worry,

[00:01:15.079]
they will be answered at the very end.

[00:01:19.028]
So briefly, just a background about gale health

[00:01:21.129]
and wellness, if you're new to the resource,

[00:01:23.269]
this is really a consumer focused

[00:01:25.599]
resource. So this is for kind of your,

[00:01:27.909]
your everyday patron who's just coming. I'm trying

[00:01:30.109]
to get some baseline knowledge about a specific

[00:01:32.629]
health condition, a medication,

[00:01:34.989]
um a diagnostic test they may

[00:01:37.099]
be having in the future or things like that.

[00:01:39.370]
They'll find a lot of great reference articles that will

[00:01:41.430]
kind of provide that background information. But

[00:01:43.439]
we also have a huge selection of

[00:01:45.629]
both the magazines and news articles.

[00:01:48.049]
So if they're trying to keep up with, let's say a new

[00:01:50.150]
medication that's in the news, they'll be able

[00:01:52.250]
to find that content right here on the platform.

[00:01:54.269]
Instead of having to navigate through,

[00:01:56.388]
you know, three different news sites to find that information.

[00:01:58.730]
We have it all listed here and we also have

[00:02:00.750]
a great multimedia collection. So if you have

[00:02:02.888]
patrons coming in, who maybe are

[00:02:04.918]
struggling readers or maybe they have trouble seeing

[00:02:07.088]
the screen, you know, if they are elderly coming

[00:02:09.288]
in trying to search for the Alzheimer's information.

[00:02:11.710]
We do have a lot of great multimedia content

[00:02:14.149]
that can help them out, things like audio files and

[00:02:16.189]
videos, as well as images and

[00:02:18.258]
diagrams and graphs and things like that. So this is a

[00:02:20.278]
really accessible resource for

[00:02:22.419]
any type of patron who's trying to come in

[00:02:25.520]
and what we'll take a look at today specifically

[00:02:27.588]
when we're talking about Alzheimer's and dementia

[00:02:29.618]
is some of our different filtering options.

[00:02:32.258]
These are really helpful as your patrons

[00:02:34.460]
are running maybe broad searches, maybe they're not

[00:02:36.679]
100% sure what they're coming in for.

[00:02:38.788]
Our filtering can really help them narrow

[00:02:40.838]
it down to exactly what they're looking for. Specifically

[00:02:43.159]
the subject filter that we're going to take a look

[00:02:45.179]
at. And I've also got some great publication

[00:02:47.719]
titles I want to pull out for you that you may want to recommend

[00:02:50.219]
your patrons take a look at, especially

[00:02:52.319]
if they're just starting their, their research kind

[00:02:54.528]
of pathway.

[00:02:57.000]
And finally, we do have some great research tools

[00:02:59.319]
here as well. So if you have patrons coming in who

[00:03:01.429]
are maybe working as a family, maybe they have

[00:03:03.479]
a parent

[00:03:04.429]
who's suffering through one of these diseases

[00:03:06.879]
and them and their siblings are kind of researching together.

[00:03:09.379]
We've got some great collaboration

[00:03:11.710]
in text manipulation tools that

[00:03:13.729]
will help them work together and pull all

[00:03:15.868]
that information and maybe have it ready for a

[00:03:17.879]
doctor's appointment if they're planning on going to the

[00:03:19.939]
doctor or just bring it to their parents

[00:03:22.000]
to kind of inform them of what's going on.

[00:03:24.800]
And I do want to mention here that this resource

[00:03:27.189]
is a supplemental resource.

[00:03:29.349]
This is not replace a physician or

[00:03:31.409]
anything like that. This is going to be supplemental

[00:03:33.788]
to a physician. So this is great for patrons

[00:03:36.520]
who may be trying to build a list of questions

[00:03:39.028]
as they're going to see their doctor or maybe

[00:03:41.229]
they just met with their doctor and maybe are a little bit

[00:03:43.243]
confused or want to dig deeper into a recommendation

[00:03:45.804]
made by that doctor. That's what

[00:03:47.835]
we're here for. This is the nice supplemental

[00:03:50.064]
content that's going to kind of bolster the understanding

[00:03:52.683]
that they've gotten from their doctor and really

[00:03:54.865]
make them informed as they start to speak with

[00:03:56.955]
their doctor about testing or whatever it may

[00:03:59.054]
be. So,

[00:04:01.469]
let's talk specifically about some of the content

[00:04:03.838]
we have curated in here for Alzheimer's and

[00:04:05.889]
dementia. So first off is going to be

[00:04:08.050]
our Alzheimer's Disease topic page

[00:04:10.719]
and we've curated this page because of course,

[00:04:12.879]
this is a topic that is searched and browsed

[00:04:15.159]
and utilized quite frequently.

[00:04:17.468]
And what we've done is we've created an overview at the

[00:04:19.497]
top of the page here and this is going to give your users

[00:04:21.769]
kind of a background about Alzheimer's

[00:04:23.877]
what it is, some of the symptoms,

[00:04:25.988]
they may see some of the treatments really, just that

[00:04:28.088]
base level information that's going to help

[00:04:30.168]
propel them forward.

[00:04:32.160]
But moving on from there, you'll see underneath, we

[00:04:34.420]
kind of pull out different content buckets for

[00:04:36.548]
your users. As I mentioned, we have a lot

[00:04:38.639]
of multimedia content like videos and audio.

[00:04:40.858]
We've pulled those forwards

[00:04:42.879]
separately, you'll see images here in reference

[00:04:45.298]
content. So I definitely recommend

[00:04:47.569]
if you have patrons coming in who are struggling

[00:04:49.798]
to find content. This may be

[00:04:51.850]
a good place for you to direct them.

[00:04:53.939]
I'll show you there are two ways to access. They can either

[00:04:56.059]
search and find it or they can browse and find it.

[00:04:58.449]
And there's also a way to get a link. So if you want

[00:05:00.608]
to copy a link and send it out to that patron

[00:05:02.819]
who's struggling, you'll be able to do that as well. I'll

[00:05:04.838]
show you how to get a link to this specific

[00:05:07.129]
topic page here

[00:05:09.040]
and we have both overview and detailed

[00:05:11.178]
articles. So whatever level your

[00:05:13.358]
patron is at, if they've been you

[00:05:15.528]
know, struggling through this disease with their parents for

[00:05:17.579]
a while or with their spouse for a while, and they have

[00:05:20.230]
maybe something really specific in mind that

[00:05:22.309]
their doctor has recommended that they need to learn about

[00:05:24.699]
maybe a specific treatment plan

[00:05:26.819]
that would be new to them.

[00:05:28.689]
They can find that very, very detailed information,

[00:05:30.949]
they can go as far as look at medical journals

[00:05:33.559]
to get a really deep understanding of what

[00:05:35.670]
they're taking a look at or they'll get the very

[00:05:37.750]
basics. You know, this is how you

[00:05:39.939]
help a parent with Alzheimer's

[00:05:41.959]
disease bat. This is how you help

[00:05:43.988]
them visit with you know, family, visit

[00:05:46.230]
with strangers. This is how you help them grocery

[00:05:48.238]
shop. so they're going to get really

[00:05:50.809]
a holistic view of the disease

[00:05:52.910]
and how they can best deal with it.

[00:05:56.199]
I have pulled forward one publication. I'm

[00:05:58.269]
going to show you when we walk through the resource that I just

[00:06:00.459]
think is really handy. And this is

[00:06:02.699]
the Alzheimer's Association pamphlets.

[00:06:05.559]
So obviously, we've digitized them.

[00:06:07.720]
They're not in pamphlet format anymore,

[00:06:09.980]
but they're really kind of honed in on

[00:06:12.059]
different topics. Again, like I mentioned, maybe,

[00:06:14.379]
you know, helping

[00:06:15.819]
an individual with Alzheimer's bat

[00:06:17.889]
go grocery shopping, maybe figuring

[00:06:20.230]
out you know, home care,

[00:06:22.238]
things like that. They're these really simple

[00:06:24.259]
and fairly short pamphlet articles

[00:06:27.209]
that are going to help patrons. And again, they're very,

[00:06:29.338]
very consumer focused. So they're not

[00:06:31.769]
very technical or very medical,

[00:06:34.199]
they're really

[00:06:35.588]
simple ways to get this content over

[00:06:37.988]
to whatever patron is looking for

[00:06:40.170]
it. You'll see here.There's one

[00:06:42.329]
specifically for individuals who

[00:06:44.850]
have early onset Alzheimer's who are trying

[00:06:47.209]
to kind of wrap their heads around what's going on.

[00:06:49.488]
We have this great pamphlet here that can kind

[00:06:51.548]
of give them some background information

[00:06:53.928]
and kind of prepare them for the future,

[00:06:55.949]
prepare them for what they may experience.

[00:07:00.619]
But let's really dive into the resource because we

[00:07:02.699]
can talk about this content all day. But walking

[00:07:05.160]
through the resource itself is

[00:07:07.250]
definitely going to give us kind of a better understanding

[00:07:09.629]
of what your patrons are going to be seeing.

[00:07:11.660]
Now, I will pause here briefly. Does anyone have

[00:07:13.889]
any questions before we really dive into

[00:07:15.949]
how to find this content?

[00:07:20.509]
Ok.

[00:07:21.548]
I don't see any. So I'm going to go ahead

[00:07:23.649]
and start off then on the Gale Health and

[00:07:25.678]
Wellness home page here and there are two

[00:07:27.769]
main ways to find content. It's going to

[00:07:29.798]
be just your standard search and

[00:07:31.869]
scrolling down here. We have a browse

[00:07:34.040]
topics option here as well.

[00:07:36.230]
So of course, running a search is

[00:07:38.338]
generally going to be helpful if your patron has something

[00:07:40.579]
pretty specific in mind, while if they have something

[00:07:42.910]
more broad, they're not

[00:07:45.230]
100%

[00:07:47.488]
figured out where they want to go

[00:07:49.569]
that it may be a better situation for browsing,

[00:07:52.579]
but I'm going to run a search first here so we can kind

[00:07:54.689]
of see what that looks like. So

[00:07:56.649]
if your patron comes in with a very specific question,

[00:07:59.559]
today, I'm going to run

[00:08:01.790]
a search for medication that was actually just recently

[00:08:04.079]
approved to treat Alzheimer's,

[00:08:06.459]
it's called Lake.

[00:08:07.519]
Hopefully, I pronounced that right.

[00:08:09.730]
but you may be getting questions from patrons

[00:08:12.369]
who have heard about this in the news

[00:08:14.699]
or may be interested or maybe their doctor or kind

[00:08:17.088]
of recommended it for them who may be taking

[00:08:19.290]
a look so they can search for a specific medication.

[00:08:22.980]
Emb I,

[00:08:26.639]
it's gonna pull forward quite a bit of content here. And

[00:08:28.678]
now again, this medication

[00:08:30.850]
has very recently been approved.

[00:08:33.139]
So, we don't have a huge amount of content

[00:08:35.259]
on it yet, just because it's, it's new and

[00:08:37.279]
you know, it's very recent that your

[00:08:39.739]
patrons are going to be seeing information about

[00:08:41.879]
this. But you'll see here when we do run

[00:08:44.000]
a search at the very top, it's going to show all

[00:08:46.119]
of the different content types available here.

[00:08:48.580]
So you see, you've got a fair amount of magazines and

[00:08:50.678]
news information here as well as an audio

[00:08:52.889]
file and one academic journal.

[00:08:56.119]
But these news and magazine reports

[00:08:58.129]
are really going to give a background

[00:09:00.379]
for your patrons on what this medication is.

[00:09:03.009]
what we've learned about it so far,

[00:09:05.119]
what's being said in the news and you'll see these are

[00:09:07.200]
very current. So I like

[00:09:09.519]
to point this out, especially if you're going to be working

[00:09:11.558]
with your patrons and you want to ensure

[00:09:13.580]
them that they're getting the best content.

[00:09:15.619]
You'll see this is from July 8th and

[00:09:17.979]
if we have someone who's watching a recording,

[00:09:20.349]
shout out to anyone watching this recording

[00:09:22.418]
today is July 20th.

[00:09:24.908]
So if you're watching a recording, this is just

[00:09:27.000]
a, a few weeks back that we've pulled forward.

[00:09:29.190]
You'll see.

[00:09:30.000]
we have some from June here as well.

[00:09:32.340]
So we do update this continuously, especially

[00:09:34.820]
if there are new breakthroughs with different medications

[00:09:37.239]
or treatments or new information on research

[00:09:39.369]
related to, specific

[00:09:41.538]
disease or diagnosis. We do

[00:09:43.639]
update that frequently. So you'll see here again, we've

[00:09:45.759]
got our magazines listed here, some

[00:09:47.918]
audio files, listed some news here as

[00:09:50.090]
well. So we've pulled all those together here

[00:09:52.979]
and this is a great starting point again

[00:09:55.279]
for your patrons who are coming in with something very precise

[00:09:57.759]
in mind. They can also do this for

[00:10:00.038]
treatments or for testing.

[00:10:02.320]
So maybe you know, they have a parent going

[00:10:04.500]
in for an MRI or something like that. They

[00:10:06.590]
can also search for MRI S maybe bring

[00:10:08.879]
an MRI or things like that and find

[00:10:10.969]
content here as well. So that's just another layer

[00:10:13.200]
of searching. They can really search for anything

[00:10:15.759]
they don't have to just stick to a disease or something

[00:10:18.099]
like that. So

[00:10:21.788]
let's go ahead and jump back to the home page

[00:10:23.830]
now because I do want to show you the browsing

[00:10:25.960]
capabilities here as well. Sometimes

[00:10:28.279]
it's a little bit easier, especially for your patrons

[00:10:30.389]
who are just starting their journey who just really

[00:10:32.548]
don't know where to start

[00:10:34.538]
if we scroll down here

[00:10:36.529]
you'll see, we could browse through different topics. You

[00:10:38.639]
see, we've broken it up. So we do have the

[00:10:40.690]
diseases and conditions and a mental

[00:10:42.710]
health section. And our Alzheimer's

[00:10:44.739]
topic page is found under both.

[00:10:47.048]
Ok. So if they are searching for something

[00:10:49.330]
and it's kind of related to more than

[00:10:51.450]
one topic section, it will

[00:10:53.460]
be found in both. You see, we've also pulled forward

[00:10:55.590]
drugs as a separate section, diagnostics

[00:10:58.200]
and tests as well as therapies,

[00:11:00.489]
treatments and surgeries. So,

[00:11:02.649]
they may find information in all of these. But

[00:11:04.769]
if we're just starting off at a basic level, just

[00:11:06.928]
looking at Alzheimer's as a disease,

[00:11:09.200]
I'm going to click through diseases

[00:11:11.389]
and conditions.

[00:11:15.279]
Scroll down here. You'll see. I have Alzheimer's

[00:11:17.369]
disease listed and I have dementia listed

[00:11:19.570]
here separately as well because they are

[00:11:21.619]
separate diseases. I know I've been talking

[00:11:23.918]
heavily about Alzheimer's disease today. But

[00:11:26.109]
everything I'm talking about with Alzheimer's,

[00:11:28.119]
you will find the majority of that related to

[00:11:30.219]
dementia as well. But let's

[00:11:32.428]
click into the Alzheimer's topic page

[00:11:34.500]
here. So

[00:11:38.058]
just like that screenshot I showed you previously

[00:11:40.418]
at the very top of the page. There's going to be this

[00:11:42.440]
nice overview.

[00:11:43.969]
I'd like to recommend this to patrons just

[00:11:46.080]
as a kind of a backdrop for

[00:11:48.158]
their more advanced research. You'll see we

[00:11:50.190]
have causes and symptoms, the diagnosis

[00:11:52.908]
specific risk factors. So if you

[00:11:54.940]
have individuals coming in, who maybe

[00:11:56.969]
have a family history of Alzheimer's.

[00:11:59.168]
They want to maybe understand how they might

[00:12:01.229]
be able to

[00:12:02.668]
protect themselves from that.

[00:12:04.590]
They can take a look at risk factor

[00:12:06.830]
in different stages treatments,

[00:12:08.969]
things like that.

[00:12:11.229]
So again, a great place to start.

[00:12:14.908]
And I did mention before that you can get

[00:12:16.969]
a link to this topic page. So if

[00:12:19.190]
you want to save this for your patrons, instead

[00:12:21.219]
of having them browse on their own or search on their own.

[00:12:23.830]
If you use this, get link button right up top here,

[00:12:27.609]
that's a persistent URL and you can copy

[00:12:29.710]
and paste this. if you have

[00:12:31.750]
some sort of support group that meets in your library.

[00:12:34.009]
If you're running a program, program

[00:12:36.158]
related to Alzheimer's disease and

[00:12:38.229]
health and things like that, or again, if

[00:12:40.340]
you just have a patron inquiry and they're having trouble

[00:12:42.399]
finding content, you can copy and paste

[00:12:44.460]
this for them and they'll be able to click right into this

[00:12:47.019]
and be pulled here to this topic page and they'll

[00:12:49.038]
find all the content that they need.

[00:12:51.969]
Scrolling down here from that. Now, you'll see

[00:12:54.190]
on this topic page, we've pulled forward different

[00:12:56.519]
content buckets here. So you'll see

[00:12:58.590]
all of our reference materials, magazines,

[00:13:00.750]
anything we have available here, you'll see

[00:13:02.889]
it specifically related to Alzheimer's disease.

[00:13:04.960]
We have a lot more medic sorry, academic

[00:13:07.109]
journals. So if you have higher level

[00:13:09.349]
patrons who have, you know, been

[00:13:11.580]
researching for a while, they understand the basics

[00:13:13.808]
of Alzheimer's, they need to know more

[00:13:16.109]
academic journals might be the

[00:13:18.139]
way for them to go. Maybe they're running through some genetic

[00:13:20.298]
screening coming up. They can get a lot of information

[00:13:22.619]
from those academic journals. But

[00:13:24.869]
I do like to point out those are very high

[00:13:27.029]
level. So if your patrons are coming to you looking for

[00:13:29.119]
content and are maybe, a little

[00:13:31.168]
frustrated with the high leveled information,

[00:13:33.408]
I'll show you a way that you can narrow it down just to consumer

[00:13:35.869]
health info. So we're kind of cutting out that

[00:13:37.989]
really high level stuff that may not be as helpful

[00:13:40.428]
for your patrons.

[00:13:43.019]
So scrolling down here, you'll see. We have all of our different

[00:13:45.340]
content buckets listed here and

[00:13:47.379]
I do want to show you before I click into any of those

[00:13:49.509]
at the very bottom of the page here. You'll

[00:13:51.830]
see we include related topics. So we

[00:13:53.928]
have aging listed here and then dementia

[00:13:56.379]
is listed as well. So if they've read through Alzheimer's,

[00:13:58.668]
they want to learn a bit more about dementia.

[00:14:01.558]
They can click here and Demento right

[00:14:03.928]
now doesn't have a pre created topic page.

[00:14:06.058]
So you'll see it takes them to an organized search

[00:14:08.369]
results page instead. So they don't

[00:14:10.629]
have that overview right now, but they do still have

[00:14:13.099]
all of this content nice and organized

[00:14:15.119]
for them here.

[00:14:18.889]
But let's go ahead and stick with our

[00:14:20.960]
Alzheimer's topic page here. I'm going

[00:14:23.219]
to scroll back up to the top

[00:14:25.320]
and I'll click today into our reference works because

[00:14:27.529]
a lot of times this is where your patrons are going to want

[00:14:29.649]
to start just getting the facts about

[00:14:32.029]
Alzheimer's. They may not want to have any sort of

[00:14:34.639]
current events, clouding

[00:14:36.859]
their judgment or any sort of commentary,

[00:14:39.158]
clouding their judgment. They really just want

[00:14:41.399]
the hard facts about Alzheimer's. The reference

[00:14:43.759]
materials will most likely be a good place

[00:14:46.000]
for them to go to

[00:14:48.168]
scrolling down here. You'll see, we have

[00:14:50.379]
all of these great bits of information,

[00:14:52.428]
but I want to take a look at these filters on this

[00:14:54.509]
right hand side here because again, these are

[00:14:56.529]
going to be really beneficial.

[00:14:58.668]
We have a subject strapped down here.

[00:15:01.239]
You'll see if we can kind of pull forward. So if

[00:15:03.340]
we're specifically talking

[00:15:05.619]
about um I don't know how

[00:15:07.830]
aging is related to Alzheimer's

[00:15:09.849]
things like that. We do have the ability

[00:15:11.889]
to take a look at that here.

[00:15:14.469]
The subjects option comes in really handy

[00:15:16.690]
if they're looking at magazines because

[00:15:19.070]
obviously magazines, um there

[00:15:21.389]
is a huge number of 16 thousands, but a lot

[00:15:23.469]
of times they're talking not only about Alzheimer's

[00:15:25.889]
but also about other things. So they

[00:15:27.918]
can kind of narrow down the subjects to exactly what

[00:15:30.048]
they need. We also have underneath

[00:15:32.210]
that a few different check marks here. So

[00:15:34.279]
if they only want to see documents with images, they

[00:15:36.330]
have that ability.

[00:15:38.308]
They also have this consumer health

[00:15:40.369]
button. So this is where

[00:15:42.658]
they're going to want to click if they don't want to see any

[00:15:44.788]
sort of academic journals or anything like that.

[00:15:46.950]
If they're worried that that's too high level,

[00:15:49.139]
they can narrow down just to this consumer health

[00:15:51.349]
and they're going to see that content.

[00:15:53.500]
And finally, we do have another button here.

[00:15:55.619]
This is going to narrow down just a Spanish

[00:15:58.000]
content. And a lot of the Spanish

[00:16:00.219]
content we have within this resource are

[00:16:02.269]
actually magazines published

[00:16:04.820]
in Spanish. So for the most part, they're going

[00:16:06.989]
to find Spanish content under the magazine

[00:16:09.399]
section here. But we do have that filter

[00:16:11.690]
listed all of under all of our content

[00:16:13.798]
types. So they can easily navigate to that as

[00:16:15.899]
needed.

[00:16:18.139]
But let's click over. I mentioned on

[00:16:20.359]
my slides, the Alzheimer's Association

[00:16:22.840]
pamphlets. I really like those.

[00:16:24.918]
So

[00:16:25.700]
if you do mention those to a patron or you just

[00:16:27.859]
want to look at them yourself if you go under

[00:16:30.019]
publication title, since it starts with a, it's

[00:16:32.119]
actually listed first here at the

[00:16:34.178]
Alzheimer's Association pamphlets.

[00:16:36.418]
So let's go ahead and apply that and we can take a look at just

[00:16:38.658]
those.

[00:16:40.029]
You'll see, we have 51 of them here.

[00:16:43.149]
You notice they are a little bit older.

[00:16:45.168]
They are from 2008. But what

[00:16:47.190]
I like about them is they're

[00:16:49.599]
more generic. They're not you

[00:16:51.950]
know, talking about the most current treatments

[00:16:54.379]
for Alzheimer's. It's things like driving

[00:16:56.678]
dental feelings,

[00:16:58.979]
dressing, bathing, as I mentioned previously,

[00:17:01.450]
warning signs of Alzheimer's disease. So

[00:17:03.759]
these things aren't necessarily, you know, how you're

[00:17:05.779]
going to be treated for Alzheimer's.

[00:17:07.930]
It's more um

[00:17:10.390]
kind of the, the things that are adjacent to treatment

[00:17:12.789]
that some individuals may not think about until

[00:17:14.900]
they're having to deal with it. So

[00:17:17.000]
let's go ahead and click into one. Why don't we click

[00:17:19.239]
into

[00:17:20.858]
driving here? That's, I'm sure a,

[00:17:22.880]
a big issue for a lot of, especially

[00:17:25.588]
um Children whose parents are suffering with Alzheimer's

[00:17:28.150]
is figuring out how they're going to deal with driving

[00:17:30.219]
because most likely they will become a point

[00:17:32.459]
where they shouldn't be driving anymore and their

[00:17:34.598]
Children are going to have to make that decision for their parents.

[00:17:37.259]
So we do have a pamphlet specifically

[00:17:39.630]
on driving here

[00:17:42.809]
and you'll take a look here. It's pretty chunked out

[00:17:44.900]
text wise. So it's not just a huge wall

[00:17:47.150]
of text for your patrons. You'll see.

[00:17:49.229]
sometimes we just give little bullet points

[00:17:51.410]
here. So this is looking

[00:17:53.910]
for signs of unsafe driving here. So if they

[00:17:56.000]
want to kind of take a look at that, they'll be able to do

[00:17:58.150]
that. And then we have tips underneath

[00:18:00.549]
here that are going to help them. So as opposed to

[00:18:02.650]
just kind of a, a full stop, hard

[00:18:04.818]
stop, take their keys away, this is going

[00:18:06.920]
to give some different strategy that may help

[00:18:08.949]
them kind of work more

[00:18:11.118]
closely with their parents or with their spouse

[00:18:13.219]
or whoever they're taking care of, to

[00:18:15.449]
make sure that they can do this with as

[00:18:17.500]
little conflict as possible. So this

[00:18:19.549]
is really trying to make that individual's

[00:18:21.799]
life a little bit easier here.

[00:18:28.189]
And what I love about this is

[00:18:30.818]
I can mark this up here. So if I find something

[00:18:32.949]
really interesting and again, say I'm working with

[00:18:35.848]
a sibling or an aunt or an uncle,

[00:18:38.170]
or maybe I'm pulling this from my parent,

[00:18:40.348]
I can highlight specific bits that are really

[00:18:42.430]
important. So maybe I read this,

[00:18:44.479]
you know,

[00:18:45.989]
and showing them the signs of unsafe driving

[00:18:48.088]
and maybe they're exhibiting some of them, I can

[00:18:50.430]
highlight that. And if I want to share this with

[00:18:52.650]
whoever I'm working with, I can

[00:18:54.799]
choose to send it right here

[00:18:57.709]
and I can send it over to a drive if I want

[00:18:59.789]
to save it that way or I can email it.

[00:19:02.108]
So if I do want to get this information out of

[00:19:04.219]
this platform or maybe just save it for

[00:19:06.289]
myself. If I want to save it for my drive,

[00:19:08.529]
I can do that right here. I don't need to worry about,

[00:19:10.828]
you know, backing out or hitting save somewhere else.

[00:19:14.279]
I can also download or print this document

[00:19:16.338]
if I prefer, if I want to keep it that way,

[00:19:18.660]
you know, printing, sometimes it's more

[00:19:20.779]
beneficial if I'm going to be giving this to an elderly

[00:19:23.209]
individual as opposed to trying to get them to sign

[00:19:25.358]
on and read through that way. So we do have a nice

[00:19:27.559]
easy print button right here

[00:19:29.739]
and just like that topic page, we do have a get

[00:19:31.868]
link button. So again, if you found

[00:19:33.920]
this for a patron and you want to share this with a

[00:19:35.930]
patron, you can use the get link and that may be

[00:19:38.019]
easier Or your patrons can

[00:19:40.358]
you know, copy and paste those links somewhere and just use it

[00:19:42.420]
later. That way, if they prefer to just collect

[00:19:44.519]
links, as suppose to sending documents

[00:19:46.838]
to their drive, they'll be able to do that using that

[00:19:48.959]
get link.

[00:19:52.039]
And as your patrons are kind of clicking through

[00:19:54.059]
and learning some different information. I want

[00:19:56.199]
to point out some of the accessibility tools

[00:19:58.209]
that are going to be really helpful, especially in

[00:20:00.309]
this sort of circumstance where you may be dealing

[00:20:02.420]
with patrons who are having trouble utilizing

[00:20:04.910]
computers, reading computers, things like that

[00:20:07.209]
first is translate options. So if you have

[00:20:09.473]
a large population of non-english

[00:20:11.535]
speakers coming into your library, they

[00:20:13.654]
have the ability to translate our articles.

[00:20:15.733]
Seriously. We have quite a few different languages.

[00:20:18.314]
So we do want to keep this as accessible as

[00:20:20.344]
possible to anyone speaking a different

[00:20:22.515]
language in your library.

[00:20:24.719]
It can also increase and decrease the font

[00:20:26.910]
size. So this is really handy for individuals

[00:20:29.098]
who may have trouble seeing the screen,

[00:20:31.400]
you'll see, you can increase the size quite a bit

[00:20:33.420]
here to lower that down a little bit though.

[00:20:37.088]
Next up, we have some additional display options.

[00:20:39.509]
So this is going to make it even more visible.

[00:20:41.588]
You'll see if we can choose a background color, whatever

[00:20:43.848]
is going to work best for them,

[00:20:45.588]
we've got different fonts here. So again, whatever

[00:20:47.709]
is going to work the best we do include a dyslexia

[00:20:50.209]
font, which I think is a great feature

[00:20:52.259]
available here and then we can

[00:20:54.279]
change the line letter and word spacing.

[00:20:56.479]
So again, as accessible as

[00:20:58.598]
we can possibly be, that's our goal here.

[00:21:00.709]
So we can really change this to

[00:21:02.799]
enhance whatever we're looking at. But I'm going

[00:21:05.068]
to go ahead and set back to my default settings for the

[00:21:07.118]
day. One

[00:21:09.368]
final tool next to the display options,

[00:21:11.568]
is this listen option. So if

[00:21:13.660]
even with the display options, your patron

[00:21:15.809]
is just having trouble reading through this

[00:21:17.880]
document, maybe paying attention to this document,

[00:21:20.269]
they can listen to it, they can have the full text

[00:21:22.469]
read to them and it is read to them in whatever

[00:21:25.009]
language they translated into. So

[00:21:27.108]
if you have a native Spanish speaker who translated

[00:21:29.568]
this pamphlet into Spanish and then

[00:21:31.680]
they want to listen to it, they'll just hit that listen

[00:21:33.789]
button, same as anyone else and it will

[00:21:36.009]
read to them in that language it's already translated

[00:21:38.229]
to. So in Spanish

[00:21:42.029]
on this, right? Hand side, you'll see, we also have

[00:21:44.049]
an explorer panel that's going to kind of move

[00:21:46.410]
around, to different,

[00:21:48.430]
more like this options or different related

[00:21:50.838]
subjects. You'll see here, looks like

[00:21:52.880]
these, we have a few different newspaper

[00:21:55.130]
articles that we've pulled forward. This

[00:21:57.578]
one might be a reference article, but they can

[00:21:59.598]
kind of click for it this way and move and take

[00:22:01.640]
a look. So you'll see here again, a related

[00:22:03.890]
subjects. Of course, it's going to be Alzheimer's disease

[00:22:06.250]
and elderly drivers are going to meet those

[00:22:08.469]
main topics here, but we can click into those

[00:22:10.709]
and learn even more.

[00:22:13.358]
I'll hit the back button here,

[00:22:15.719]
scroll back up

[00:22:18.098]
and jump back into our topic page just so we can

[00:22:20.199]
briefly take another look here.

[00:22:22.739]
So again, our magazines, newspapers are pulled

[00:22:24.989]
out, but I want to show you these nice videos.

[00:22:28.430]
Generally, they're going to be pretty short. I think

[00:22:30.598]
sometimes you may find one

[00:22:32.328]
in the five minute range, but usually they're just a few

[00:22:34.568]
minutes just giving a kind of a background

[00:22:36.739]
of something specific. I can click

[00:22:38.818]
into any of these here. Um We'll click into

[00:22:40.910]
this first one. Why not

[00:22:44.289]
gonna pause it because you won't be able to hear it. Yeah, so this one's five

[00:22:46.400]
minutes.

[00:22:47.199]
So I'd just like to point out that

[00:22:49.430]
in addition to having just the video itself,

[00:22:51.969]
we do include the transcript down here below

[00:22:54.209]
as well.

[00:22:56.009]
So if they prefer to read the transcript of

[00:22:58.239]
a video. We always include that here for

[00:23:00.348]
them and we do have the option to get

[00:23:02.400]
a link to this page as well. So if it's a nice video

[00:23:04.549]
that they want to share out, they can get a link

[00:23:06.858]
and they, they can take into this page directly

[00:23:09.509]
where they'll be able to click into the video.

[00:23:14.039]
Now, we've got about five minutes left in this

[00:23:16.160]
session and I do want to open up for

[00:23:18.209]
any questions. We may have different

[00:23:20.630]
pathways to find content or maybe different

[00:23:22.680]
content types that you want to take a look at that.

[00:23:24.699]
I haven't covered today. We have

[00:23:26.880]
this five minutes. I would love to do that while

[00:23:29.779]
I'm waiting for anyone to type in questions.

[00:23:32.108]
I have some contact information I want to give

[00:23:34.299]
you. So if you do have questions, keep typing

[00:23:36.559]
them in, I'm going to watch out and I'll answer those. But while

[00:23:38.739]
we wait, if you have more questions

[00:23:41.009]
about this resource or you want to learn more about

[00:23:43.209]
how it can help patrons, you know, dealing

[00:23:45.449]
with some other diseases, maybe cancer, things

[00:23:47.588]
like that. You have a lot of individuals coming

[00:23:49.910]

[00:23:54.049]

[00:23:56.368]

[00:23:58.750]
