Gale Training

[00:00:05.009]
Thank you again, everyone for joining. So

[00:00:07.030]
today we're talking about the top

[00:00:09.528]
10 tips and tricks within your gale

[00:00:11.599]
and context resources. My

[00:00:13.689]
name is Amber winters. I'll be your training consultant

[00:00:16.228]
for the day

[00:00:18.030]
So a brief agenda, I do just want to touch on

[00:00:20.190]
what gale in context is. So if you're new

[00:00:22.440]
to this resource suite we're going

[00:00:24.559]
to just take a look at that very briefly, but we're going to spend

[00:00:26.809]
most of the time going through those top

[00:00:29.109]
tips and tricks that the gale

[00:00:31.120]
trainers have found that we've deemed the best

[00:00:33.520]
of the best. not only will we talk

[00:00:35.750]
about them, we're also going to kind of navigate

[00:00:37.950]
through them live. So you're going to be able to see where you

[00:00:40.020]
can find them, how they function,

[00:00:42.097]
how to best serve your users.

[00:00:45.228]
And then at the very end of the session, I have

[00:00:47.469]
listed here questions. but again,

[00:00:49.490]
feel free to put your questions in at

[00:00:51.639]
the Q and A as we move along and I should

[00:00:53.750]
be able to answer them. But

[00:00:55.289]
again, we do get a little bit crowded

[00:00:57.569]
in the Q and A I have left time at the end of the

[00:00:59.667]
session to get everything answered. And

[00:01:01.840]
at the very end, I do have some contact information

[00:01:04.087]
as a wrap up for you as well.

[00:01:06.480]
Well, let's go ahead and get started. So if

[00:01:08.587]
you're new to Gale in context, it's a full

[00:01:10.629]
suite of products and it's really

[00:01:12.638]
content for all. So we have resources

[00:01:14.829]
that are going to be specific for different age

[00:01:16.900]
bands. So you'll see, we've got Gale

[00:01:19.019]
and Context Elementary all the way up to high school

[00:01:21.418]
as well as Gale in Context college

[00:01:24.168]
We have subject specific resources as

[00:01:26.307]
well. So things like us or world history

[00:01:28.430]
or biographies.

[00:01:30.459]
We have one educator specific resource

[00:01:32.739]
gale in context for educators.

[00:01:35.150]
And this is also used quite frequently

[00:01:37.329]
for adult and post-secondary

[00:01:39.430]
research as well. So if I have any public

[00:01:41.459]
library folks or any academic

[00:01:43.549]
leveled folks on the line, these resources

[00:01:45.587]
are used at both of those areas

[00:01:48.158]
as well. One that I always like to point out

[00:01:50.277]
is gale in context, opposing viewpoints, which

[00:01:52.289]
of course is used heavily at that high school

[00:01:54.674]
level for pro con arguments. But

[00:01:56.805]
it's also really great for adults coming

[00:01:58.924]
into the public library, maybe looking for news

[00:02:01.114]
reports on something that's currently going on or just

[00:02:03.182]
wanting to make sure they're getting safe

[00:02:05.483]
and vetted content. We have all of that

[00:02:07.875]
right here within our Gale in context suite.

[00:02:10.899]
So the top tips and tricks we're going over today

[00:02:13.438]
are generally going to span

[00:02:15.718]
the entirety of our collection. If

[00:02:17.777]
for whatever reason, there's one resource

[00:02:19.919]
that doesn't contain one of these tools. I believe we

[00:02:22.057]
have one specific tip

[00:02:24.490]
that doesn't include one resource. I will

[00:02:26.557]
let you all know that.

[00:02:28.568]
Um But the majority of these tips and

[00:02:30.628]
tricks are going to span the entirety

[00:02:33.079]
of the suite. So whatever you have in your collection,

[00:02:35.399]
be it one or two of these resources, these

[00:02:37.819]
tools will come in handy for you

[00:02:41.179]
So without further ado, let's go ahead and get

[00:02:43.188]
started here, our first tip

[00:02:45.740]
is going to be utilizing our topic

[00:02:48.218]
pages. Now, this is not found within Gaelic context

[00:02:50.617]
for educators.

[00:02:52.020]
I don't want to mention that. But all of your other resources, you'll

[00:02:54.139]
find topic pages

[00:02:55.658]
and these are really great overviews that

[00:02:57.777]
we've kind of pulled together to help your

[00:02:59.788]
researchers find the content they need really easily

[00:03:02.330]
at the top of all of our topic pages, we're going

[00:03:04.408]
to have a topic overview that's giving a nice little

[00:03:06.598]
background

[00:03:07.718]
we've organized all of the results right

[00:03:09.740]
in the middle of the page, you'll see it's titled on

[00:03:11.807]
this page.

[00:03:13.228]
So instead of going through just the basic

[00:03:15.419]
search list and trying to kind of filter out that way,

[00:03:17.658]
we've already pre filtered it for them,

[00:03:20.139]
they can click into the exact bit of information

[00:03:22.300]
they need

[00:03:23.538]
And then right underneath that on this topic

[00:03:25.579]
page, we have our content buckets which again

[00:03:27.750]
are just organizing and making sure your users

[00:03:29.889]
can find what they need.

[00:03:31.348]
And these topic pages are also great for

[00:03:33.399]
you. If you're pulling contents maybe for

[00:03:35.500]
a class or if you're in the public library and maybe you're

[00:03:37.569]
going to be running

[00:03:39.008]
a program focused on something specific, let's

[00:03:41.027]
say. for talking about financial literacy,

[00:03:43.468]
maybe you want to run a project about

[00:03:45.649]
debt or something like that. You

[00:03:47.889]
can find these topic pages and start

[00:03:49.949]
your researchers right here instead of having them

[00:03:52.069]
search on their own. So you've got them where

[00:03:54.179]
they need to be before they even get started.

[00:03:56.500]
So that's our first kind of tip here. And I'm going

[00:03:58.628]
to go ahead and jump over so we can take a look at

[00:04:00.658]
what those look like. So for

[00:04:02.777]
now, I'm just going to click into Gale in context opposing

[00:04:05.080]
viewpoints. I can remember the rest of the suite

[00:04:07.218]
is going to look like this as well. Gale

[00:04:09.527]
and Context elementary looks slightly different because

[00:04:11.830]
we've changed the platform to make it appropriate

[00:04:14.068]
for elementary level kiddos but also

[00:04:16.399]
have topic pages.

[00:04:18.468]
So I'm going to just search for

[00:04:20.548]
climate change because of course, that's

[00:04:22.807]
a topic that we, um, take a look

[00:04:25.038]
at frequently at pretty much every level.

[00:04:27.098]
So when I start to type in climate change,

[00:04:29.177]
you'll see my predictive text. The first option

[00:04:31.449]
I have here is bolded.

[00:04:33.658]
So when you run a search, anything

[00:04:35.829]
that's listed here in bold is going to be a

[00:04:37.848]
topic page,

[00:04:39.519]
You can also scroll down and take a look

[00:04:41.528]
at this browse issues option. All

[00:04:43.720]
of these are topic pages here. So you'll see, we have

[00:04:45.879]
474 pre creative

[00:04:47.980]
topic pages. Now, of course,

[00:04:50.119]
that's not every bit of content we have within the

[00:04:52.720]
the resource. But those are the most studied

[00:04:54.737]
and most searched topics, we build topic pages

[00:04:57.028]
around so we can browse here.

[00:04:59.139]
But let's go back up and we'll stick with running our search.

[00:05:01.730]
So I am going to click into global warming and climate

[00:05:03.879]
change here.

[00:05:06.730]
and it looks like we have a question. Um If this

[00:05:09.028]
will be made available to you all. So

[00:05:11.189]
Angela, you'll get a copy of the recording via

[00:05:13.220]
email. So as some of your staff couldn't be

[00:05:15.298]
here, you'll have access to the recording

[00:05:17.389]
and you can feel free to forward along to them.

[00:05:21.759]
OK. So here we are, we're

[00:05:23.838]
on a topic page now. So again, as I mentioned, we

[00:05:25.920]
have our nice overview of top here.

[00:05:28.329]
And if I hit read more, this is a full article,

[00:05:31.237]
So this is a great place to start. You'll see if we

[00:05:33.290]
get some different main ideas and things

[00:05:35.459]
related to this topic.

[00:05:38.269]
scrolling down from there. This is our on

[00:05:40.500]
this page and what's great is, you'll see, we

[00:05:42.579]
have all of the different resource types that your

[00:05:44.689]
users are going to find. But if

[00:05:46.750]
for some reason, let's say our topic

[00:05:49.170]
doesn't have any infographics attached

[00:05:51.409]
to it, that wouldn't appear on the,

[00:05:53.619]
on this page section. So they wouldn't see like a little

[00:05:55.838]
zero here. So it's really making sure

[00:05:58.108]
they know exactly what they're going to be able to click

[00:06:00.230]
into and they're not going to click into something

[00:06:02.540]
that doesn't provide them with contents. They're always

[00:06:04.778]
going to have that content here.

[00:06:07.809]
scrolling down again, you'll see our different content

[00:06:10.237]
buckets here. It's showing the first few

[00:06:12.298]
entries. If they want to take a look

[00:06:14.420]
at say more references, they'll just click

[00:06:16.449]
into this reference content bucket and be launched

[00:06:18.720]
all the way into those.

[00:06:20.528]
And another great feature all the way at the very

[00:06:22.987]
bottom of this topic page. There we go

[00:06:25.470]
is our related topics section.

[00:06:27.689]
So if your users are ready to kind of move

[00:06:29.709]
their research forward and maybe they're a little

[00:06:31.987]
bit stuck, they don't know what they want to study.

[00:06:34.308]
Now. They want to study something similar, but they're not

[00:06:36.449]
quite sure what

[00:06:37.759]
these related topics at the bottom of topic

[00:06:39.850]
pages are going to be really helpful. So they, they have

[00:06:42.009]
learned about climate change a little bit. And

[00:06:44.088]
maybe they saw fossil fuels were talked

[00:06:46.350]
about quite a bit and don't know how it's related.

[00:06:48.600]
We have a fossil fossil fuels

[00:06:50.677]
topic page here as well so they can click

[00:06:52.750]
into that and be launched directly into another topic

[00:06:55.199]
page.

[00:06:56.778]
so really your, your users can research

[00:06:59.177]
without ever running a search if they really wanted to.

[00:07:01.379]
Most likely we're going to have topic

[00:07:03.699]
pages. If they're taking a look at some of the

[00:07:05.778]
more studied firms, we're gonna have

[00:07:07.850]
topic pages for those.

[00:07:11.040]
So that's number 10, let's take a look here.

[00:07:13.177]
I will briefly ask any questions about

[00:07:15.230]
that before I move forward.

[00:07:16.869]
I haven't seen any but the Q&A is open.

[00:07:21.410]
Ok. I don't see any. So number

[00:07:23.660]
nine is our cross search and this is another

[00:07:26.028]
special tool that's only found on a few of our resources

[00:07:28.927]
and this is the one that's most specific. The

[00:07:31.019]
rest of these will be as specific. But if

[00:07:33.170]
you have gale in context, world history

[00:07:35.449]
or us history

[00:07:36.920]
or gale in context, opposing viewpoints and

[00:07:38.980]
global issues, you actually have a built-in

[00:07:41.329]
cross search mechanism, right

[00:07:43.579]
on the platform. So you'll see here,

[00:07:45.750]
I've got this pulled forward, you'll be able to drop

[00:07:47.939]
down in your search bar, right on the platform,

[00:07:51.129]
and choose what do you want to search? So

[00:07:53.139]
world history and us history or both,

[00:07:55.509]
and you'll see with my two collections here. Global

[00:07:57.689]
issues and opposing viewpoints. I can

[00:07:59.750]
search either one the other

[00:08:01.970]
or both.

[00:08:05.559]
and it looks. So we have a quick question. Um Will

[00:08:07.677]
they be able to use photos to include in

[00:08:09.759]
their papers? So, Angela,

[00:08:11.778]
your users, I'm assuming students

[00:08:14.108]
are free to use the images, but they do

[00:08:16.209]
need to cite their sources and we do have

[00:08:18.237]
citations attached to those images. So just

[00:08:20.399]
make sure they're citing where they got the

[00:08:22.410]
images from.

[00:08:25.927]
So let's take a look at how this functions. Now, how

[00:08:27.959]
we can do this cross search right here on

[00:08:30.500]
our platform. And this is different than Power

[00:08:32.528]
search, which I'm sure some of you are familiar

[00:08:34.580]
with, which is going to search through all of your different

[00:08:36.619]
resources. And it's actually a separate platform.

[00:08:39.557]
This is just unique to those

[00:08:41.590]
two sets of resources. So I'm gonna jump

[00:08:43.759]
back to my opposing viewpoints home page just

[00:08:46.639]
by clicking on the banner here,

[00:08:50.028]
I know you'll see right next to my search bar. I can drop

[00:08:52.177]
this down here. Obviously, whatever resource

[00:08:54.369]
you're in is going to default to just searching through

[00:08:56.460]
that resource. But I can choose

[00:08:58.649]
if I want to look now at just the global

[00:09:00.969]
version of this resource. So how the world

[00:09:03.250]
is tackling, let's say climate change

[00:09:05.769]
or I can search through both. So let's do both.

[00:09:08.469]
And again, I'm going to run my same.

[00:09:11.879]
search. You'll notice. Now, I don't pull up

[00:09:14.057]
the topic pages since I'm pulling

[00:09:16.229]
content from both of those resources.

[00:09:18.710]
It's going to be a basic search result. But let's

[00:09:20.778]
go ahead and run that same report for climate

[00:09:22.899]
change. So

[00:09:27.168]
when I scroll down here, you'll see, I do still get some

[00:09:29.229]
suggested topics on this right hand side.

[00:09:31.320]
If I want to move forward with those,

[00:09:33.927]
But as I scroll down, you're going to see here

[00:09:37.219]
It's going to show me what resource this

[00:09:39.418]
different bit of content is found. And so this one is

[00:09:41.548]
found in gain contact, opposing viewpoints,

[00:09:44.019]
you'll see, I have one bit of content here within

[00:09:46.278]
Gale In Context: Global Issues.

[00:09:48.769]
So it pulling both of those forward here. So

[00:09:50.820]
if you do have users who are going to be searching

[00:09:52.859]
current events, and you know, they're going to need

[00:09:55.080]
that us central viewpoint and they're going to need

[00:09:57.200]
that world viewpoint. They can click into

[00:09:59.239]
just one and they can run a search through both of them.

[00:10:01.440]
So it's a really simple way to access more

[00:10:03.469]
information

[00:10:05.139]
and again, that's available in your

[00:10:07.460]
group of gale in context, opposing viewpoints

[00:10:09.830]
and global issues or our two

[00:10:11.879]
history resources, which is Gale in context

[00:10:14.288]
us history and gale in context,

[00:10:16.619]
world history. So both those two

[00:10:18.759]
groupings, you'll be able to run this really

[00:10:21.009]
nice cross search right here right next

[00:10:23.158]
to our search bar.

[00:10:26.019]
Now, that is the most resource specific

[00:10:28.500]
tip. I'm going to get to the rest are

[00:10:30.548]
going to span the, the length of the

[00:10:32.590]
suite a little bit better. So number eight here

[00:10:35.099]
is going to be our citations. And I just

[00:10:37.200]
mentioned to Angela in the Q and A that

[00:10:39.389]
we do include citations for every bit

[00:10:41.538]
of content on our resource. We do include

[00:10:43.557]
M L A A P A Chicago or Harvard

[00:10:45.719]
versions. And what's nice is we have

[00:10:47.798]
a little bit of redundancy. So we include

[00:10:50.177]
citations in two different areas on

[00:10:52.379]
a page to make sure your users can find them.

[00:10:55.200]
And our citations do include images.

[00:10:57.379]
If we have primary sources, we

[00:10:59.389]
have a great set of videos and audio files.

[00:11:01.820]
All of those are cited in the proper formatting,

[00:11:04.298]
which is really great for those of you in the K-12

[00:11:06.460]
arena. Of course, getting students

[00:11:08.580]
not just to site but to site properly.

[00:11:10.979]
It's oftentimes really difficult. So

[00:11:13.019]
we've included that in all of our resources, even

[00:11:15.259]
gale in context elementary.

[00:11:17.580]
I mean, they, they do have the ability to

[00:11:19.639]
either copy and paste their citations or

[00:11:21.658]
they can choose to send them right over to

[00:11:23.710]
their drive. Or if they're using easy Bib, they'll be

[00:11:25.798]
able to send it there as well.

[00:11:27.590]
Let's go ahead and jump back

[00:11:29.619]
I'm bouncing back and forth a little bit today guys.

[00:11:31.778]
Sorry about that. Um Let's

[00:11:33.989]
go ahead. We'll get back to climate change here

[00:11:36.070]
and I'm just gonna click into one of our resources.

[00:11:38.440]
Just I'm going to click into the overview

[00:11:42.450]
So I found this piece of content and let's

[00:11:44.538]
say I copied and pasted a, a sentence

[00:11:47.379]
into my paper and I want to cite this source.

[00:11:50.177]
I can use my citation button at the very top

[00:11:52.239]
here. You'll

[00:11:54.599]
see it pops this forward and now I can choose

[00:11:56.690]
my different options here. If I want M L A A P

[00:11:58.759]
A Chicago or Harvard, I can

[00:12:01.009]
select copy and paste it

[00:12:02.927]
or down here is where you're going to find your nice

[00:12:05.090]
export tools.

[00:12:07.399]
or if your users made it all the way down

[00:12:09.450]
to the bottom of the page,

[00:12:12.399]
the citation. That that is a long article

[00:12:14.940]
is found all the way at the bottom of the page here

[00:12:17.158]
as well. So it's the same format. I think they're going

[00:12:19.229]
to pull the same content, but we've included

[00:12:21.599]
it here in this separate space just in case they don't

[00:12:23.719]
see that button at the very top so they

[00:12:25.979]
can click into it here and again, download, print

[00:12:28.177]
it whatever they want to do. If

[00:12:30.278]
they decided to hold on to this specific

[00:12:32.440]
article, I'm going to show you how they can do that a little

[00:12:34.700]
bit later in this session. The citation

[00:12:36.840]
also follows along with the entries as

[00:12:38.989]
well. So they'll have their citation attached to

[00:12:41.950]
an article they may have pulled forward or a news

[00:12:44.109]
report or something like that.

[00:12:50.298]
right? So number seven is

[00:12:52.418]
going to be our content and document

[00:12:54.677]
type search. So this is found

[00:12:56.859]
in our advanced search section. And this

[00:12:58.879]
for me is really important to help your users who

[00:13:00.918]
may be a little bit intimidated by a standard

[00:13:03.359]
advanced search. Of course, beginning researchers,

[00:13:05.399]
even sometimes adult researchers who haven't

[00:13:07.418]
been digging into online resources

[00:13:09.849]
recently. may be a little bit taken

[00:13:12.048]
aback by advanced search just because there is so

[00:13:14.190]
much included, you know, they may not know

[00:13:16.500]
what wild cards are, they may

[00:13:18.519]
not know what to type in to get the exact content

[00:13:20.750]
they need.

[00:13:22.000]
We have these really nice options

[00:13:24.168]
to narrow down just simply by the content

[00:13:26.408]
type and by the document type.

[00:13:28.450]
So content type, you'll see we have that here. It's

[00:13:30.509]
going to be a little bit more broad.

[00:13:32.668]
So if they just want to look at all of our primary sources,

[00:13:35.070]
done, good to go.

[00:13:36.609]
And then our document type is a little bit more

[00:13:38.788]
specific. So if I clicked into,

[00:13:41.239]
let's say, using my example here, if I decided

[00:13:43.369]
to click into images,

[00:13:44.899]
and then I went to document type and I wanted to be more specific

[00:13:47.609]
and I wanted to actually find a map.

[00:13:49.889]
I can do that in my document type, run

[00:13:51.940]
my search and I'm going to pull that very,

[00:13:54.048]
very specific content without having

[00:13:56.210]
to run a a complicated advanced search.

[00:13:59.859]
So again, I'm going to stay within Gale In Context

[00:14:02.080]
opposing viewpoints,

[00:14:03.609]
but I'm going to click into advanced search,

[00:14:05.639]
which is located right here next to my

[00:14:07.759]
search bar,

[00:14:12.000]
And to do that, I'm going to scroll down past this

[00:14:14.379]
advanced search section here. I will

[00:14:16.690]
point out we do provide search tips here.

[00:14:19.057]
So we'll give information on special characters

[00:14:21.158]
and things like that.

[00:14:22.599]
But we're going to scroll down

[00:14:25.219]
and narrow down my content type here. So

[00:14:27.288]
I'm gonna do just like my example on my

[00:14:29.658]
my slide, I'm gonna narrow it down

[00:14:31.840]
to images

[00:14:33.119]
and then my document type specifically.

[00:14:35.200]
I want a map. You'll see. We have a lots

[00:14:37.359]
of document types here. So I'm just going to search for

[00:14:39.460]
map and you'll see

[00:14:41.619]
it gets even more specific if I want

[00:14:43.658]
like a city map or historical map but

[00:14:45.899]
I'm just gonna stick with map. I just want to see them all.

[00:14:48.969]
So I'll run my search.

[00:14:52.960]
And you'll see at the very top here, it's going to show me

[00:14:55.048]
what filters I have set. So

[00:14:57.158]
I know that the database I'm in is scaling

[00:14:59.298]
context, opposing viewpoints. I'm not

[00:15:01.469]
searching through global issues because I turned

[00:15:03.580]
that off and then showing me

[00:15:05.690]
that the only content type I'm looking at is images

[00:15:08.599]
and the only document type I'm looking at is maps.

[00:15:11.009]
So you'll see here, I've pulled forward 163

[00:15:14.048]
maps that I can take a look at

[00:15:16.099]
I can easily get rid of one of these filters. So

[00:15:18.158]
maybe I'm not, I don't just wanna look

[00:15:20.269]
at maps. I wanna look at all of the pictures. I can

[00:15:22.408]
do that.

[00:15:23.979]
And now we have all of our pictures listed instead

[00:15:26.250]
of just maps.

[00:15:28.028]
So kind of like an advanced search without

[00:15:30.320]
actually running through an advanced search, trying to

[00:15:32.359]
figure out exactly what you want to search.

[00:15:38.427]
number six is going to be our level document.

[00:15:40.750]
So this is going to come in really handy for my

[00:15:42.807]
K 12 folks on the line.

[00:15:44.869]
We have written quite a few

[00:15:46.908]
reference works that are at two different

[00:15:49.070]
levels. And what that means is we have

[00:15:51.190]
one at a Lexa just above

[00:15:53.210]
and one at the lea

[00:15:54.129]
just below. So if you're working

[00:15:56.177]
with a class that has specific

[00:15:58.229]
reading level needs, you'll be able

[00:16:00.450]
to toggle back and forth to these two different

[00:16:02.649]
articles that are linked together. They're providing

[00:16:05.009]
the same information. But of course, the

[00:16:07.080]
lower level,

[00:16:08.619]
is going to have easier vocab, it's going to

[00:16:10.629]
be shorter, all that good stuff

[00:16:12.668]
and searches can also be filtered

[00:16:14.677]
just to level documents as well. So

[00:16:16.778]
if you're using these resources, and

[00:16:18.859]
you run a search, you can actually

[00:16:21.000]
just navigate to leveled only

[00:16:23.190]
to find content.

[00:16:26.859]
and I'm moving through a little bit fast. So

[00:16:28.979]
as I'm switching back over to my resource,

[00:16:31.609]
are there any questions? I don't again,

[00:16:33.859]
see any in the Q and A, but I want to make sure I don't miss

[00:16:35.979]
any. Ok.

[00:16:40.190]
I don't see any. So I'm going to switch over

[00:16:42.210]
now to gale in context middle school just

[00:16:44.250]
to mix it up a little bit.

[00:16:46.009]
and I'm going to run a search for

[00:16:48.129]
Ancient Egypt. That's one of our, usually one

[00:16:50.139]
of our top searches across the country.

[00:16:54.528]
So again, you'll see this is bolded. So I have

[00:16:56.609]
a topic page related to Ancient Egypt.

[00:17:00.538]
There you go.

[00:17:01.320]
So I have my overview and again, you're going to find our leveled

[00:17:03.700]
works in our reference materials. So

[00:17:05.759]
just those basic reference articles

[00:17:07.900]
that are giving that general information about

[00:17:10.209]
whatever your topic is. So let's click

[00:17:12.317]
into all of my reference articles now. So we have 77

[00:17:15.028]
attached to ancient Egypt

[00:17:19.867]
So now if I scroll down here, I can

[00:17:21.900]
actually see what's leveled by

[00:17:24.709]
our little flags. Let's see here. We found

[00:17:26.939]
one. So you see all of these different flags

[00:17:29.107]
that are giving bits of information about whatever

[00:17:31.479]
this entry is and you'll see one of those

[00:17:33.630]
flags is labeled leveled.

[00:17:35.729]
So if you ever see an entry with that level,

[00:17:37.930]
that means we have two different versions

[00:17:40.140]
of that entry.

[00:17:42.219]
If instead of kind of just scrolling

[00:17:44.439]
through and looking for that leveled flag, you just want

[00:17:46.509]
to narrow it down to your level documents. Only

[00:17:48.798]
our filter is right here on this right

[00:17:51.019]
hand side, our level documents and now I can

[00:17:53.087]
click this

[00:17:55.798]
And today

[00:17:57.250]
we've narrow it down just the level

[00:17:59.367]
of content. So let's click the first one which

[00:18:01.509]
is Ancient Egypt.

[00:18:05.798]
So when I click into this, you'll see. Now I'm

[00:18:07.808]
at the lower level which is level

[00:18:09.847]
two, which is equal to

[00:18:12.420]
this lex measure here.

[00:18:15.077]
and now I can toggle. So this left hand

[00:18:17.087]
side you'll see. I'm at this lower level,

[00:18:19.410]
I can bump it up to this higher level

[00:18:21.558]
here and really

[00:18:23.759]
simple to toggle back and forth. So if you

[00:18:25.769]
need this information, you can send

[00:18:28.000]
maybe this specific copy out to five

[00:18:30.278]
students who need it and maybe you could send out another specific

[00:18:32.617]
copy to another five. If you're working

[00:18:34.857]
in a public library, I know for the most part

[00:18:37.058]
you're not using lexis measures.

[00:18:39.390]
But if you take a look at our little content

[00:18:41.729]
level buttons here or

[00:18:43.778]
icons that's going to give some additional

[00:18:45.847]
information. So it goes from a level

[00:18:48.077]
one to a level five.

[00:18:49.729]
level one is going to be elementary content.

[00:18:51.910]
You'll find that almost exclusively

[00:18:54.337]
within gale in context. Elementary

[00:18:56.660]
level five is starting to get towards

[00:18:59.250]
12th grade in adult learning.

[00:19:01.567]
So you're going to find that in our more advanced resources

[00:19:04.750]
and then in between spans all the way from

[00:19:06.969]
middle school to kind of

[00:19:09.327]
lower level at high school. So if

[00:19:11.439]
you are at a public library and maybe you're supporting teens

[00:19:13.949]
and you're trying to pull content for them. This

[00:19:16.269]
content level can be handy for you as well. Even

[00:19:18.380]
if you're not using the exact Lexa measures

[00:19:29.479]
Right? # five, this is one

[00:19:31.587]
of my favorite is highlights and notes.

[00:19:34.367]
So users can highlight and annotate

[00:19:36.489]
really anything that's important to them in the platform.

[00:19:39.327]
And not only can they do that on the document,

[00:19:41.479]
but we also include them in a separate highlight

[00:19:43.538]
to notes section where they're going to be able

[00:19:45.778]
to organize it all. They can label

[00:19:48.219]
their highlights, they can add notes to those highlights

[00:19:50.567]
if they want to and they can hold on just

[00:19:52.900]
to the highlights. They don't have to hold on to a full

[00:19:54.989]
document if they find bits of content

[00:19:57.239]
that they want to keep.

[00:19:59.140]
They'll be able to do that right here on the platform.

[00:20:01.288]
It's a really nice, simple way to do that.

[00:20:04.038]
and as educators, I've found

[00:20:06.959]
that sometimes it's helpful to use this

[00:20:09.048]
highlights feature

[00:20:11.189]
Um Looks like we have a question. How often is

[00:20:13.209]
this information updated? Um Angela,

[00:20:15.367]
I'm assuming just the content

[00:20:17.420]
and the resources that you're speaking of.

[00:20:19.479]
Um and its daily, we've

[00:20:21.509]
we added new content daily.

[00:20:27.269]
Um So again, if you are an educator

[00:20:29.288]
on the line, it's often handy to

[00:20:31.298]
use this to get students to highlight

[00:20:33.439]
maybe parts of the text if you're working with

[00:20:35.528]
elementary kids. So intro abiding conclusion,

[00:20:37.778]
have them highlights right here on the platform.

[00:20:40.150]
Or you can have individuals if they're working

[00:20:42.449]
in claim evidence, reasoning papers, you

[00:20:44.459]
could have them find an article, have

[00:20:46.479]
them highlight what the claim is, maybe in a different

[00:20:48.558]
color, what the reasoning is, the evidence.

[00:20:50.930]
So it's a great way to not only

[00:20:53.170]
have them research on their own and find information

[00:20:55.390]
that's important to them. But also integrate

[00:20:57.449]
this into your lessons. This is a nice

[00:20:59.519]
interactive way for them to kind of

[00:21:01.528]
pick apart text and really understand

[00:21:03.847]
the different parts of it.

[00:21:11.660]
and then we have a question from Rachel and Rachel.

[00:21:13.798]
You have jumped ahead of me and I love it. So Rachel

[00:21:15.880]
is asking, how do students

[00:21:17.959]
save their notes? Do they disappear when they close

[00:21:20.058]
out of gale? So they do disappear.

[00:21:22.500]
Yep, Rachel. So

[00:21:23.989]
we don't have named user accounts. So if

[00:21:26.019]
someone closes out of their session

[00:21:28.117]
or signs off due to inactivity or something like

[00:21:30.189]
that the content they have will be lost.

[00:21:33.479]
So what they need to do is either

[00:21:35.660]
get this article out of the platform by sending

[00:21:37.939]
over to their drives, printing it, downloading

[00:21:40.189]
it, emailing it

[00:21:41.430]
or they're going to get the highlights

[00:21:43.500]
and notes section out of the platform. So let me

[00:21:45.528]
show you how that works. So for today,

[00:21:47.617]
I'm just going to highlight,

[00:21:49.160]
I don't know just a couple of bits here. Choose

[00:21:51.298]
some colors. They can use as many colors as they like

[00:21:54.469]
they can write notes here.

[00:21:59.660]
They and I can mock this up as much

[00:22:01.847]
as I want to.

[00:22:02.979]
And if I want to save this for later,

[00:22:05.160]
I'll send this over to my drive, I'll print

[00:22:07.170]
it whatever I want to do

[00:22:08.880]
or I'll go into my highlights and notes section,

[00:22:11.288]
which is up top here in my toolbar.

[00:22:13.390]
So it's highlight to notes.

[00:22:16.449]
You see, it's going to drop down what I've already highlighted

[00:22:19.288]
and I can hit this view all highlights and notes button.

[00:22:21.587]
And when I do that, I get this separate page

[00:22:23.930]
here, it's going to give me a link to whatever

[00:22:26.117]
article I highlighted. It's going to show

[00:22:28.140]
me the highlight color, what I highlighted

[00:22:30.837]
and any notes that I took

[00:22:33.160]
underneath that. We also have a running bibliography.

[00:22:35.640]
So if I were to start highlighting in more than one article,

[00:22:38.630]
they would all appear here and kind of start to just make

[00:22:40.729]
a list,

[00:22:42.367]
you'll notice we have a safe warning here so

[00:22:44.660]
that your users know that Yep, they need to get this content

[00:22:47.038]
out of the resource so they can

[00:22:49.400]
send this one to their drivers or email

[00:22:51.699]
them. they can also download

[00:22:53.847]
or print and we're gonna take a look at those tools in just

[00:22:56.000]
a second

[00:22:57.479]
and finally, they can label their

[00:22:59.538]
colors here. So again, as I mentioned,

[00:23:01.567]
if they're highlighting parts of the text, they

[00:23:03.817]
may have decided to highlight the intro and blue and the

[00:23:05.890]
body and purple

[00:23:07.278]
and they can label those,

[00:23:15.298]
And now we've got our highlight legend here. So

[00:23:17.680]
your students or your users can do all of this

[00:23:19.880]
if you have students. Um they could

[00:23:21.939]
even send this out to you and you can

[00:23:23.949]
take a look, they can label their highlight and you can

[00:23:26.087]
see that they grasp what the intro

[00:23:28.400]
is. do they know what evidence is?

[00:23:30.920]
Things like that? It's a really simple way to

[00:23:33.097]
have that kind of formative evaluation

[00:23:35.817]
while using yourGale resources

[00:23:39.949]
And they won't even know you're evaluating them

[00:23:42.038]
because it's just a simple highlights feature.

[00:23:45.337]
So our next tool is going to be our translation

[00:23:47.719]
option. What's great is we have

[00:23:49.759]
text translations into 46

[00:23:51.867]
languages

[00:23:53.107]
and we do translate not just the actual

[00:23:55.288]
text of the the article or whatever we're

[00:23:57.367]
looking at, but any captions attached

[00:23:59.577]
to images or transcripts or things

[00:24:01.597]
like that will also be translated

[00:24:03.827]
for your users.

[00:24:05.847]
And not only can we transfer, translate

[00:24:08.548]
the article you're on, but we can also translate

[00:24:11.028]
the platform as well. So all of the different tools

[00:24:13.900]
and features found within the platform, you'll

[00:24:15.939]
be able to translate those as well

[00:24:19.709]
So we'll look at that quickly really

[00:24:21.930]
close to running out of time here. But let's

[00:24:24.058]
go ahead and click back to our article

[00:24:27.278]
Our translation is really simple. It's

[00:24:29.288]
right here, our translate button.

[00:24:31.719]
choose our language and translate

[00:24:33.670]
if you want to translate the interface, which is

[00:24:35.680]
all of the tools and features, set

[00:24:37.729]
interface language.

[00:24:39.680]
click your language. Now, all

[00:24:41.699]
of my tools and buttons here are whatever language

[00:24:43.920]
I chose.

[00:24:47.949]
you can also change the platform

[00:24:50.479]
here at the top as well where it says English.

[00:24:53.910]
So a very simple way for you

[00:24:55.930]
to get your users into that

[00:24:58.189]
translated content,

[00:25:00.817]
Number three, it's going to be our collaboration

[00:25:03.199]
tools and we have a lot of them. That's something

[00:25:05.337]
is really strong about is making sure your

[00:25:07.410]
users can,

[00:25:08.719]
not only get the content out of our platform, but get

[00:25:10.890]
content to other people so they can start to work together.

[00:25:13.847]
The first is going to be a get link which

[00:25:15.959]
is just a persistent URL. You can

[00:25:18.048]
copy and paste that wherever you want to go. If

[00:25:20.160]
you're planning on sharing content with your users,

[00:25:22.259]
sometimes that's the way to do it. You could

[00:25:24.269]
send out that link in an email, you can post it on

[00:25:26.357]
a social media post. They'll be able to

[00:25:28.420]
click right in and see that content that you're, you're

[00:25:30.577]
showing them.

[00:25:32.038]
We're also integrated with the Google classroom.

[00:25:34.558]
So you can do all of the normal things you can do within

[00:25:36.617]
Google classroom. So create an assignment, ask a question,

[00:25:38.959]
make an announcement, create a material,

[00:25:41.367]
you'll be able to do that in a nice little pop up window

[00:25:43.699]
and then once that's done close out of your pop up

[00:25:45.880]
and you're still in the resource. So if you need to

[00:25:48.150]
go through some more content or something like that,

[00:25:50.337]
you'll still be able to, you're still signed in.

[00:25:53.847]
and finally we have our Google and Microsoft

[00:25:56.009]
integrations. So if your users

[00:25:58.117]
want to get this content out, save it for later,

[00:26:00.479]
they can choose to send it over to a drive. Once

[00:26:02.847]
it's in a drive, it's theirs to use

[00:26:05.479]
so they can go in if they decide they

[00:26:07.808]
want to maybe mark up the text again. They didn't

[00:26:09.880]
use highlights and notes in the platform, but they want to

[00:26:11.890]
now they can do that

[00:26:13.900]
right there in the drive and they can also share on their

[00:26:15.910]
drive. So if they're working, say in a group

[00:26:19.048]
They find a bit of content. They really like, they

[00:26:21.199]
can send it to their drive and then share it from their

[00:26:23.239]
drive with their, their peers

[00:26:25.410]
with their other group members. Again to

[00:26:27.430]
really make sure they can all engage with this text

[00:26:29.689]
and they all have access to it

[00:26:32.038]
and it is located on their drive forever.

[00:26:34.317]
So they don't need to worry about um

[00:26:36.769]
you know, it disappearing after a month or something like that.

[00:26:39.288]
They'll have it,

[00:26:40.479]
I mean, until the end of time as long as they

[00:26:42.500]
need it,

[00:26:43.900]
So let's take a look at where we can find those

[00:26:46.117]
tools. I'm going to stay here just on this article.

[00:26:48.910]
So if we want to send over to our drives,

[00:26:51.259]
I have a send to button up here

[00:26:53.390]
that lets me choose to send to Google Drive

[00:26:55.449]
one drive or email it.

[00:26:58.150]
I can also do that here under the title.

[00:27:00.400]
You'll see my Google drive and my one drive

[00:27:03.699]
my email is next door or

[00:27:05.867]
again, I can download or I can print right here.

[00:27:08.519]
We also have our download and print up top.

[00:27:11.808]
and finally our get link feature and this get

[00:27:13.880]
link actually follows us along throughout

[00:27:16.048]
the entire session. So if you

[00:27:18.097]
find a topic page, you really like, you want to get

[00:27:20.199]
a link to that topic page, you can do that. If

[00:27:22.538]
you ran a search and you're really digging your

[00:27:24.630]
results, you want everyone to see them, you can

[00:27:26.640]
get a link to that as well. You'll see you have that

[00:27:28.798]
get link feature, pretty much

[00:27:30.890]
on every page you're going to click into in your

[00:27:32.939]
resources. So this is really powerful

[00:27:35.430]
if you do want to share out your information.

[00:27:39.308]
And I um didn't mention this is persistent.

[00:27:41.837]
So this isn't going to break. So you can even

[00:27:43.949]
copy and put this in a syllabus or

[00:27:46.097]
something like that.

[00:27:48.347]
And we have a quick question when a person opens

[00:27:50.430]
the get link later, say from home.

[00:27:52.930]
Well, they need the login information. So

[00:27:54.989]
what's great about our get link is when they click

[00:27:57.219]
on the one specific link, they're

[00:27:59.278]
going to automatically be launched into that content

[00:28:01.670]
without authentication.

[00:28:03.219]
But if they want to move forward, say

[00:28:05.410]
they want to run their own research or,

[00:28:07.798]
you know, look at something new at that point, they'll

[00:28:09.900]
be asked to authenticate. However, users

[00:28:11.959]
normally authenticate. So if they normally have a password,

[00:28:14.788]
they'll need that password. Um If

[00:28:17.009]
it's normally like a single sign on through their

[00:28:19.989]
their Microsoft account or something like that,

[00:28:22.327]
they'll be asked to do that. Yeah, it's a great

[00:28:24.558]
question.

[00:28:28.709]
Ok. Number two,

[00:28:30.788]
is our text manipulation features.

[00:28:33.028]
So these are going to be great to make sure

[00:28:35.130]
our content is as accessible as

[00:28:37.209]
it possibly can be before your users.

[00:28:39.660]
I'm going to go ahead and now tap on my screen.

[00:28:41.949]
I'm gonna talk while I show you those

[00:28:43.969]
tools are found here on this left hand side.

[00:28:46.269]
You'll see if we can increase or decrease size

[00:28:48.587]
of the fonts.

[00:28:50.650]
We can also change the colors

[00:28:52.788]
that we see

[00:28:53.959]
as well as different types of fonts

[00:28:56.009]
and we can change the line letter and word spacing.

[00:28:58.229]
You'll see, we do include a dyslexia

[00:29:00.367]
font here as well. So again, we're

[00:29:02.469]
trying to increase the accessibility as much

[00:29:04.587]
as we possibly can.

[00:29:06.209]
What's great is once your user sets exactly

[00:29:08.410]
how they want this to be, it's going

[00:29:10.459]
to follow them along throughout their session. So if they

[00:29:12.607]
find the exact background color that works for

[00:29:14.630]
them, the line letter and word spacing

[00:29:17.640]
They can choose that and they'll just have it follow

[00:29:19.660]
along, carry along to make sure they can access

[00:29:22.357]
at any point.

[00:29:25.699]
Now, we're down to number one here

[00:29:28.028]
just in time is going to be our topic

[00:29:30.097]
finder. This is found in all

[00:29:32.380]
of our resources now and you're going

[00:29:34.558]
to be able to search using

[00:29:36.778]
keywords to find kind of related

[00:29:38.837]
information. So you're gonna be able to navigate

[00:29:41.077]
through either a tile view or a

[00:29:43.087]
wheel view to find the content that you need.

[00:29:47.367]
and that's going to launch them directly into a result.

[00:29:49.827]
So let's go ahead and click into that here

[00:29:52.048]
to do that. I'm going to click into my advanced

[00:29:54.087]
search

[00:29:56.778]
and we're going to choose topic finder,

[00:29:59.219]
which is going to launch this here and

[00:30:01.400]
now I can run a search. So let's run a search.

[00:30:03.939]
Um We'll do alternative energy today.

[00:30:09.298]
When I run my search here, it's

[00:30:11.400]
going to pull forward all of the results

[00:30:13.509]
and you'll see this is interactive.

[00:30:15.420]
So maybe I want to learn about solar

[00:30:17.469]
energy into solar energy

[00:30:20.077]
You see, now I have 44 results

[00:30:22.439]
and now I can click even further. So

[00:30:24.949]
solar panels, let's go there. And

[00:30:27.180]
now you'll see. I've got seven articles listed

[00:30:29.380]
here that I can start to kind of click through to get

[00:30:31.459]
some information. So this is really handy

[00:30:33.857]
if you have users coming in, like a giant

[00:30:35.989]
broad search term and you know, they're going

[00:30:38.107]
to pull back so much content that might not

[00:30:40.239]
be exactly what they need. They can

[00:30:42.347]
run that big giant search in our topic finder

[00:30:44.650]
and start to navigate through to different topics

[00:30:46.880]
to really narrow it down to what they need. So instead of

[00:30:48.979]
being inundated with,

[00:30:50.890]
you know, thousands and thousands of bits of content,

[00:30:53.337]
they can do this and you'll see, I mean, I got myself

[00:30:55.528]
all the way down to seven bits of content, which is

[00:30:57.538]
a great place to start if I'm doing some

[00:30:59.587]
research here. So they can really narrow that down

[00:31:02.219]
to make it as simple as possible to

[00:31:04.259]
find and

[00:31:07.808]
they can easily reset it right down

[00:31:09.827]
here underneath

[00:31:12.087]
So I will say a lot of individuals

[00:31:14.410]
actually start users out on this

[00:31:16.509]
topic Finder page instead of running a basic

[00:31:18.847]
search or something like that. So if you know,

[00:31:20.920]
you want your users engaged with topic finder, consider

[00:31:23.337]
just showing them where to find that first,

[00:31:25.347]
let them know, you know, you want to use this topic finder.

[00:31:27.538]
It's going to help you navigate really simply

[00:31:29.880]
instead of having to go through a basic results

[00:31:31.890]
page.

[00:31:34.577]
And we had a question from Lynn. Did I open topic

[00:31:36.750]
finder without entering search keywords?

[00:31:38.808]
Yes, I did. Yeah,

[00:31:40.269]
I just clicked into advanced search.

[00:31:42.327]
Let me go back a page

[00:31:45.019]
two pages. I just hit advanced search.

[00:31:48.337]
And then I navigated to the topic finder section,

[00:31:51.788]
If I were to run a search, I can also

[00:31:53.890]
find the topic, the topic finder

[00:31:55.939]
there as well and launch it. But if you

[00:31:57.949]
want to start directly with topic finder, you just

[00:32:00.009]
need to click under advanced search and

[00:32:02.087]
choose your topic finder, search option.

[00:32:07.890]
Ok? So let me jump back here. I've got some

[00:32:10.019]
additional information for you. First off, I do want

[00:32:12.160]
to mention my bonus tip that I always

[00:32:14.278]
like to mention. It's our support site, which is support

[00:32:16.660]
dot gale dot com. You're going to find a lot

[00:32:18.788]
of supplemental materials that are going to help you.

[00:32:20.837]
So we have premade lesson plans.

[00:32:22.920]
We have resource guides that might help you as

[00:32:24.959]
you're training your staff and things like that. We

[00:32:27.347]
have premade kind of special

[00:32:29.577]
themes. You'll see. We have women's history month

[00:32:31.640]
2023 which is focused

[00:32:33.798]
on women in politics.

[00:32:36.469]
And we also have premade training tools.

[00:32:38.630]
So if you're training your staff, you'll see. This one

[00:32:40.709]
is about gale in context elementary. We've

[00:32:43.019]
created a slide deck for you so you

[00:32:45.097]
can just copy and paste your library's

[00:32:47.308]
information and you can train

[00:32:49.890]
all on your own. You don't need to build it yourself.

[00:32:52.269]
So all of that again is going to be found on our support

[00:32:54.650]
site, which is support.gale.com.

[00:32:57.327]
I just checking it out if you can.

[00:32:59.420]
We also have all of our recorded webinars there.

[00:33:01.709]
So a little bit of contact information.

[00:33:04.130]
I know we're right at our time. But I do

[00:33:06.308]
want to just give you this if you have additional

[00:33:08.459]
questions or if you want to dive into some of these

[00:33:10.558]
tools a little bit deeper. I know this

[00:33:12.630]
is a very kind of service. Look

[00:33:14.750]
at them, reach out to your customer success

[00:33:16.759]
manager. If you don't know who that is, just

[00:33:18.788]
send an email to [email protected]

[00:33:21.150]
and you'll be forwarded to the correct

[00:33:23.400]
individual.

[00:33:25.097]
If you have any questions about any of the incont resources

[00:33:27.900]
that maybe you don't have access to right now, but you

[00:33:29.939]
want to have access to reach out to your

[00:33:31.949]
sales consultant, you can find them going

[00:33:34.160]
to support degale dot com forward slash

[00:33:36.298]
rep finder.

[00:33:37.680]
Again, I've listed the support site here

[00:33:39.778]
a little bit of a shameless plug but support that

[00:33:41.989]
gale dot com is going to help you learn

[00:33:44.298]
new things about your resources, but also teach

[00:33:46.880]
your learning community about them as

[00:33:48.890]
well. And I do have

[00:33:51.097]
a training survey. If you do have

[00:33:53.150]
the time, it's actually going to pop up into your

[00:33:55.269]
browser. But I have a quick QR code

[00:33:57.500]
here if you have your phone handy or

[00:33:59.699]
you can go to bit dot forward slash

[00:34:01.750]
gale training

[00:34:02.817]
email. and I haven't

[00:34:05.058]
seen any questions pop up here, but

[00:34:07.160]
I will ask just one more time. Is there

[00:34:09.518]
um anything you guys want to look at again? Does anyone

[00:34:11.559]
have any questions, if not feel

[00:34:13.610]
free to hop off, hopefully we'll see you in future

[00:34:15.820]
sessions, but just to verify anyone

[00:34:18.039]
have any more questions before we end today.

[00:34:21.969]
Ok? I don't see any typing. So I'll go

[00:34:24.059]
ahead and end off the session. Thank you

[00:34:26.128]
all for being here and hopefully we will see you

[00:34:28.239]
in future sessions
