Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:05.009]
We're going to be talking about the new enhancements
[00:00:07.669]
to Gale Literature Resource Center. My
[00:00:09.800]
name is Amber Winters and I'm a senior training
[00:00:11.909]
consultant here with Gale today and I'll be working
[00:00:14.140]
with you. So let's go ahead and take a quick
[00:00:16.158]
look at our agenda here. First, I just want
[00:00:18.250]
to review the enhancements before we look
[00:00:20.350]
in and kind of dive in. Just want to go over what you're
[00:00:22.449]
going to see. There are some really great
[00:00:24.510]
enhancements that are very simple but very impactful.
[00:00:27.048]
So we're going to go through those, then we'll spend
[00:00:29.260]
time actually walking through the platform seeing
[00:00:31.370]
some of the different workflows that your patrons or your
[00:00:33.509]
students might be using.
[00:00:35.189]
And then at the very end of the session, we should have some
[00:00:37.298]
time for questions and I have some wrap up contact
[00:00:39.679]
information for you as well. Again,
[00:00:41.848]
feel free to ask questions as we move through
[00:00:43.889]
the session. But I will try to save time
[00:00:45.959]
at the very end in case there's anything that we weren't able
[00:00:47.969]
to touch on.
[00:00:50.529]
So first off, if you're new to Gale Literature
[00:00:52.759]
Resource Center, just a few basics here for
[00:00:54.950]
you this is really a holistic approach
[00:00:57.450]
to researching and learning about literature.
[00:00:59.709]
We were bringing all of the information related
[00:01:01.990]
to different works, topics and authors
[00:01:04.049]
together in one spot here
[00:01:06.269]
and we do have the ability to browse a platform
[00:01:08.448]
by either work or topic. We've also included
[00:01:10.859]
both basic and advanced search as well
[00:01:12.969]
as a pretty detailed people
[00:01:15.150]
search. So if you have users coming in looking for
[00:01:17.250]
individuals, they'll be able to search for
[00:01:19.909]
a person here as well.
[00:01:22.079]
We've got a lot of different content types
[00:01:24.138]
available. So you'll as you would imagine,
[00:01:26.379]
you'll see the standard biographies and work overviews,
[00:01:28.588]
literary criticisms. But we also
[00:01:30.819]
have some great primary sources. We have
[00:01:32.959]
quite a few full text, literary works
[00:01:35.278]
in here. We'll be able to take a look at in a second
[00:01:37.599]
and we also have news and magazines. So we're bringing
[00:01:40.019]
kind of the current events
[00:01:42.099]
currently what's going in the world into this resource
[00:01:44.558]
to make sure that students and users aren't
[00:01:46.588]
just getting,
[00:01:47.879]
you know, background information about a text.
[00:01:50.239]
They're also saying how that text is
[00:01:52.299]
related to what's currently going on. Maybe it's
[00:01:54.379]
censorship. Um some things like that,
[00:01:56.689]
they'll be able to kind of get a feel of how it's currently impacting
[00:01:59.138]
society and how society itself is impacting
[00:02:01.540]
the authors and the works.
[00:02:04.308]
And we do have quite a few different research tools
[00:02:06.629]
available. These are consistent through the majority
[00:02:08.639]
of the gale resources. So if you're familiar with
[00:02:10.710]
any gale resources, you've most likely seen
[00:02:12.719]
these, but we've got some advanced highlights
[00:02:14.899]
and notes functionality to help your researchers.
[00:02:17.580]
We've got Google and Microsoft integration
[00:02:19.669]
for them to save the information that they find.
[00:02:21.784]
We have our premade citations built
[00:02:23.933]
out ready to go for them. We have a topic finder
[00:02:26.615]
and we have the ability to both translate
[00:02:29.054]
the text and kind of manipulate it a little bit.
[00:02:31.213]
So change the font, change the color, things
[00:02:33.254]
like that.
[00:02:34.125]
And we will review all of those today once we dive
[00:02:36.375]
in, but let's go ahead and take
[00:02:38.508]
a look at our enhancements. I'm really excited to go over
[00:02:40.618]
these for you today. So if you've been
[00:02:42.699]
within Gale Literature Resource Center before
[00:02:44.758]
the enhancements, you'll see the home page looks
[00:02:46.949]
a lot different now.
[00:02:48.479]
So we've decided to do at the very top here. We've
[00:02:50.618]
decided to pull forward featured works
[00:02:53.360]
and these works, these tiles on this home page change
[00:02:55.639]
monthly. So every time your user goes in in
[00:02:57.689]
a new month, they're going to have a different experience
[00:03:00.050]
and they're going to be able to engage with some different
[00:03:02.139]
texts, which I think is really valuable to kind of get
[00:03:04.319]
them researching on their own and kind of
[00:03:06.330]
extending their own learning.
[00:03:08.808]
And these do change monthly again and we have a browse
[00:03:11.118]
works button here. So we've created what's
[00:03:13.419]
called works, topic pages that kind of
[00:03:15.500]
pull everything about a work together on one
[00:03:17.610]
page to really engage your users
[00:03:19.729]
to make it really easy for them to kind of point and click
[00:03:21.770]
to where they need to be.
[00:03:23.368]
And underneath those featured works, we
[00:03:25.399]
have featured topics here as well. You'll see it's
[00:03:27.409]
fairly similar. The tiles
[00:03:29.729]
for our featured works are larger just because there are
[00:03:31.868]
a lot of featured topics that we pull forward,
[00:03:34.469]
but these topics will change monthly as well
[00:03:37.500]
and these topic pages are going to pull forward
[00:03:39.939]
generally to different themes in literature.
[00:03:42.159]
We also have different literary movements and
[00:03:44.300]
genres.
[00:03:46.110]
So it's kind of again pulling that holistic view
[00:03:48.229]
together. So if your users aren't necessarily looking
[00:03:50.460]
for a work, maybe they're interested in.
[00:03:52.808]
if we pull this forward here, um We
[00:03:54.868]
have Literature of the Harlem Renaissance is one
[00:03:57.000]
that we've pulled forward. Maybe they're just interested kind of broadly
[00:03:59.610]
in that topic. They'll be able to browse
[00:04:01.788]
through and find content that way as well. So
[00:04:03.879]
not only are we getting a little more
[00:04:05.990]
precise with the works, we're also getting
[00:04:08.099]
a little bit more broad talking about just the different
[00:04:10.229]
topics and themes that are going to be found in those
[00:04:12.429]
works. So kind of two fold right here
[00:04:14.599]
on the home page, they'll be able to browse without
[00:04:16.629]
even running a search. This is really going to help
[00:04:18.699]
them just point and click to engage.
[00:04:21.209]
And if they do decide to hit one of these orange buttons
[00:04:23.350]
here, either the browse works or the browse
[00:04:25.509]
topics. They'll be launched here into this
[00:04:27.889]
kind of second layer of browsing here.
[00:04:29.988]
So on the left, you'll see, we have our works option
[00:04:32.350]
and then on the right, we have our topics
[00:04:34.588]
on the left. The works is a little bit simplified
[00:04:37.290]
because there are less work to take a look at while topics
[00:04:39.809]
we have a, a huge collection. So
[00:04:41.910]
you'll see it is a little more kind of
[00:04:43.920]
broken up here.
[00:04:45.660]
But on the, the upper left hand side
[00:04:47.699]
of each of these pages here, you'll see it's the same
[00:04:49.970]
and they can toggle back and forth between looking
[00:04:52.119]
at works and looking at topics.
[00:04:54.428]
So if they take a look at the topics, maybe
[00:04:56.629]
find something interesting. But when I jump back to the works,
[00:04:58.759]
they don't need to hit back and go to the home page.
[00:05:01.019]
We have that toggle right there on the top of the page.
[00:05:03.819]
We also have the ability to filter on both
[00:05:05.928]
of these options. So if they are kind of scrolling
[00:05:08.199]
through, especially when we're looking at topics.
[00:05:10.699]
Once we click in, you'll see there is a huge
[00:05:12.939]
number of topics available. So oftentimes
[00:05:15.379]
it's helpful just to filter it by something they're looking
[00:05:17.500]
for. They'll be able to do that on this home page
[00:05:19.600]
as well.
[00:05:21.588]
And when they click into any of these tiles or any
[00:05:23.649]
of these entries, they're going to be pulled forward
[00:05:25.720]
into topic pages. So we
[00:05:27.778]
can call them works pages or topic
[00:05:29.910]
pages, whichever they're going to pull that same
[00:05:32.129]
bit of content.
[00:05:33.500]
So when they click in, this is what they're going to see.
[00:05:35.528]
On the left here, we have a works
[00:05:37.548]
page for the awakening.
[00:05:39.389]
And then on the right here, we've got a topic
[00:05:41.738]
page specific to East Asian literature.
[00:05:44.928]
And you'll say they look almost identical. One
[00:05:47.108]
thing I will point out on this left hand side here, when
[00:05:49.238]
we're talking about a work page is
[00:05:51.329]
we're going to provide information about that work at the
[00:05:53.338]
very top. You'll see, we have the author, this
[00:05:55.639]
is hyperlink, which is why it's blue. We always provide
[00:05:57.970]
a biography about the author attached to
[00:06:00.019]
this work page. You have a bit more
[00:06:02.059]
information when it was publish the genre.
[00:06:04.504]
And if we have the full text for the work, this
[00:06:06.584]
is a new feature here. We have a read
[00:06:08.774]
work button that's going to be found right here at the top
[00:06:11.014]
of the page and this is going to pull them to the full
[00:06:13.225]
text of the work. So we'll actually be able
[00:06:15.314]
to read that right here on our platform as opposed to having
[00:06:17.564]
to you know, pull a hard copy or have
[00:06:19.613]
it pulled somewhere else.
[00:06:23.230]
But other than that kind of background about
[00:06:25.809]
a work itself, the pages
[00:06:27.889]
are exactly the same. They have an overview
[00:06:29.899]
with related topics at the very top here.
[00:06:31.970]
So giving them kind of a background as
[00:06:34.100]
well as a a next step where they may
[00:06:36.220]
want to click to take a look at things
[00:06:38.149]
underneath that we have results organized
[00:06:40.389]
by different content types. So you'll see here,
[00:06:42.410]
literature criticisms and biographies,
[00:06:44.879]
some will have multimedia materials,
[00:06:46.949]
primary sources, those are all up
[00:06:49.028]
here here on this topic page.
[00:06:51.980]
And then at the bottom here, we've got our results
[00:06:54.540]
nice and organized so your users can start to
[00:06:56.579]
click through and they will be able to
[00:06:58.629]
access this content right here on this home page.
[00:07:00.879]
So this is kind of moving them
[00:07:03.040]
forward without searching, especially if you're working
[00:07:05.660]
in the K 12 arena. If you've got secondary students,
[00:07:07.899]
you're working with who may not be the best
[00:07:10.329]
just yet at building their search terms.
[00:07:12.459]
This is a really nice way for them to gain access
[00:07:14.660]
to information just by pointing and clicking.
[00:07:16.910]
Also great. If they have a really broad
[00:07:19.040]
idea in mind,
[00:07:20.790]
they can just click into that broad idea
[00:07:22.949]
and we're going to help them narrow down to the
[00:07:24.970]
content that they need. So a really
[00:07:27.000]
clean, simple way to do that right here on this page.
[00:07:31.399]
Now, let's go ahead and take a look. I think I'm done talking
[00:07:33.689]
about it. I definitely want us to be able to engage with
[00:07:35.879]
it and see how everything works here. Oops,
[00:07:38.100]
almost signed me out.
[00:07:39.660]
Um Before I do, does anyone have any questions?
[00:07:41.959]
I haven't seen them pop into the Q and A but I
[00:07:43.980]
want to make sure I address anything.
[00:07:49.129]
Ok, I don't see any. So let's go ahead
[00:07:51.350]
and start taking a look here at this home page then.
[00:07:53.670]
So this is what they're going to see as soon as they're launched.
[00:07:55.829]
And again, it looks substantially
[00:07:58.350]
different than previously. You'll see. We no longer have
[00:08:00.959]
the featured authors. We're now featuring
[00:08:03.269]
works and topics on this
[00:08:05.358]
home page here.
[00:08:06.480]
But we have kept both our basing
[00:08:08.569]
an advanced search at the top of the page. Of course,
[00:08:10.689]
we know a lot of users like to
[00:08:12.949]
kind of dig right in with whatever search they have.
[00:08:15.329]
They usually have something specific in mind. We do
[00:08:17.480]
still include that here.
[00:08:19.459]
If they are looking for a person for an
[00:08:21.480]
author or
[00:08:22.939]
some other literary individual,
[00:08:25.309]
we have a person search that we have included
[00:08:27.338]
on this toolbar here. So they'll be
[00:08:29.439]
able to click into this. So while they won't be able to browse
[00:08:31.699]
on the home page, I always like to point this out.
[00:08:33.869]
They can go through a really powerful person
[00:08:36.460]
search to find the information for the person they're looking
[00:08:38.719]
for and they can search by the person's
[00:08:40.820]
name. But what's great is they can also just
[00:08:42.918]
search by limiters. So maybe they're looking specifically,
[00:08:45.219]
let's say for Native American,
[00:08:47.719]
let's say female authors,
[00:08:49.840]
they have very specific parameters in mind, but
[00:08:51.879]
they don't have a specific individual, they
[00:08:54.070]
can run through these search limiters
[00:08:56.619]
hit search.
[00:08:59.369]
I know they be pull forward to all of the individuals
[00:09:01.649]
we have available and they'll be able to click through
[00:09:03.759]
and kind of take a look at all of this great information.
[00:09:06.570]
So we have the kind of moved how
[00:09:08.658]
we explore individuals
[00:09:10.798]
within this resource. But we do still have it
[00:09:13.168]
found really simply here on the home page.
[00:09:17.928]
Now, under that again, we've pulled forward featured
[00:09:20.330]
works that are going to change monthly
[00:09:23.149]
and then underneath featured topics that will
[00:09:25.250]
change monthly here as well.
[00:09:27.340]
So let's just start off with looking at
[00:09:29.379]
the featured topics. If I decide to
[00:09:31.450]
take a look, I'll hit my browse topics button
[00:09:33.489]
just so we can see all of them here.
[00:09:35.779]
As I mentioned, we have a lot of topics.
[00:09:38.080]
So if I just start to scroll down, you can kind of get a feel
[00:09:41.349]
and all of these things we have here,
[00:09:43.899]
we've pulled forward to kind of curate the results.
[00:09:46.080]
So you're going to see those topic pages.
[00:09:48.889]
So of course, if users don't find exactly
[00:09:50.979]
what they're looking for through this browse, they
[00:09:53.119]
can always run a search and they'll pull content that way.
[00:09:55.469]
But all of these have that pre created
[00:09:57.548]
topic page to kind of help your users
[00:09:59.668]
better understand what's going on.
[00:10:02.340]
And at the top of the page, you'll see they can
[00:10:04.349]
jump to a specific section if they have something
[00:10:06.719]
in mind. So maybe it's film,
[00:10:08.798]
maybe it's about disease, maybe
[00:10:10.940]
something historical. They're looking for
[00:10:13.149]
a specific era or a movement. They'll
[00:10:15.359]
be able to navigate down to that right here on this
[00:10:17.500]
page. If they prefer to, as
[00:10:19.538]
opposed to scrolling down
[00:10:21.269]
again, they can run a search. If they have something
[00:10:23.418]
specific in mind, they can certainly run a search that
[00:10:25.450]
way or they
[00:10:27.489]
can just scroll down and click. So let's click today
[00:10:29.629]
into mccarthyism and literature.
[00:10:32.399]
So this is going to be our topic page here.
[00:10:34.710]
As I mentioned at the top, there's a full overview.
[00:10:37.009]
This is going to give that
[00:10:39.090]
background information or that first
[00:10:41.219]
layer of research to make sure everyone
[00:10:43.229]
kind of understands where they are, what they're going to
[00:10:45.269]
be learning about. So you see, I can click
[00:10:47.450]
to read a full overview
[00:10:49.719]
as I scroll down here. You'll see it's giving me some
[00:10:51.788]
different representative works. Our related
[00:10:54.250]
subjects are going to appear here on this right
[00:10:56.389]
side. We include some great suggested,
[00:10:58.918]
suggested topics
[00:11:00.969]
here as well. So these are nice to kind of
[00:11:03.019]
move your users forward. If maybe they're a little
[00:11:05.129]
bit stuck, they don't know where they want to go with
[00:11:07.178]
their learning. This is a really nice way
[00:11:09.570]
to get them pointed somewhere else. These suggested
[00:11:11.820]
topics here,
[00:11:14.019]
you see, we've got an introduction
[00:11:16.580]
and again, this is going to provide just some base knowledge
[00:11:19.080]
for them.
[00:11:20.038]
Now, to get back to my topic page, I can either hit
[00:11:22.080]
my back button in my browser or you'll see.
[00:11:24.119]
I've got a breadcrumb trail here and
[00:11:26.210]
I can just jump back to mccarthyism and literature.
[00:11:30.418]
So up top here, we do have again,
[00:11:32.639]
our related topics. You'll see, some of them are
[00:11:34.700]
topics, some of them are actually works
[00:11:36.899]
and this is going to vary just depending on
[00:11:39.119]
um and what they're taking
[00:11:41.440]
a look at. Of course some topics may have
[00:11:43.558]
a lot more works related to them. Some
[00:11:46.000]
may have just more related topics. So they'll
[00:11:48.158]
see that under this related section.
[00:11:50.649]
It looks like we have a question from Casey.
[00:11:52.950]
What is the citation I saw at the bottom?
[00:11:54.989]
So yeah, Casey, I can jump back here. So
[00:11:57.149]
what Casey is referring to if I scroll all the way down
[00:11:59.649]
on the bottom of any article or any entry,
[00:12:02.029]
picture video
[00:12:03.840]
at the very bottom, we do have our source citation
[00:12:06.149]
here. It's an Mlaap a Chicago
[00:12:08.548]
or Harvard. So they can click back and
[00:12:10.590]
forth and they have the ability
[00:12:12.668]
to copy and paste this. You'll see they have the
[00:12:14.759]
option to export it to our different
[00:12:16.869]
tools, things like Google drive, one drive, noodle
[00:12:19.070]
tools.
[00:12:20.609]
And we have this again for every single entry that
[00:12:22.668]
we have. So if they're maybe using a video
[00:12:25.048]
for you know, presentations they're
[00:12:27.090]
making or something like that, they can pull the citation
[00:12:29.609]
for that video as well. And I will
[00:12:31.658]
also mention the citations are not only
[00:12:33.700]
found at the bottom of the page, but they're also
[00:12:35.840]
in our toolbar up top here. So you'll see, I can click
[00:12:38.048]
into the site button
[00:12:40.779]
and it pulls me the same information I can click through
[00:12:42.918]
and choose Mlaap A Chicago or Harvard.
[00:12:45.460]
And then again, I can either just copy and paste
[00:12:47.538]
it into a work cited or I can export
[00:12:49.879]
it to a drive or a, an app,
[00:12:51.940]
whatever I'm using here.
[00:12:57.879]
OK. So let's go ahead and jump back again here
[00:13:00.000]
to our topic page.
[00:13:02.849]
So scrolling down underneath our overview and
[00:13:04.918]
our related topics here,
[00:13:06.960]
we're going to see all of the results we
[00:13:09.000]
have specifically specifically related
[00:13:11.349]
to this one topic here. And you see it's
[00:13:13.460]
pretty narrowed down, you know, we're not getting hundreds
[00:13:15.609]
of thousands of results and we've kind of done that on purpose
[00:13:18.219]
because we want this to be a really focused
[00:13:20.340]
page for users. And as they
[00:13:22.369]
start to kind of dig deeper and realize they may need
[00:13:24.538]
more specific information. That's where
[00:13:27.019]
our, our basic and advanced searches start to come
[00:13:29.099]
in where they're going to pull more content and they'll be able to
[00:13:31.119]
see some more specific bits of information.
[00:13:33.239]
But we've decided to make these
[00:13:35.830]
topic pages as precise as we can
[00:13:38.090]
to make sure they can find that information that
[00:13:40.139]
they need. So you'll see, we've got our literature
[00:13:42.330]
criticisms, biographies on individuals,
[00:13:45.090]
scrolling down here, topic and work, overviews,
[00:13:47.509]
news and reviews, all that good stuff. So
[00:13:49.658]
we've pulled this all out separately so they can really
[00:13:51.989]
easily click into what they need. They're not going through
[00:13:54.178]
a huge
[00:13:55.658]
a list of content
[00:13:57.788]
that might not be exactly relevant to what they're looking
[00:14:00.000]
for, really narrow it down for them.
[00:14:02.389]
And we do have another question here. How are the featured
[00:14:04.599]
works and topics selected?
[00:14:06.769]
So we choose our topics of works based
[00:14:08.979]
on what's utilized most in the resource,
[00:14:11.469]
what's studied most. We oftentimes
[00:14:13.710]
work with customers and work with individuals
[00:14:15.940]
using the resource to better understand
[00:14:17.989]
what's being searched, what's being utilized, what's
[00:14:20.109]
being studied in, you know, secondary
[00:14:22.678]
school and colleges and universities.
[00:14:24.918]
So we really base it on a lot of factors
[00:14:27.090]
but I guess shorts answer is
[00:14:29.288]
it's based on what's utilized the most and what's
[00:14:31.418]
studied the most.
[00:14:32.779]
OK. So let's go ahead and
[00:14:35.009]
jump back. Now. I want to take a look at what
[00:14:37.229]
a works page is going to look at. So again, this is
[00:14:39.288]
our topic page and our works page is
[00:14:41.369]
going to be similar.
[00:14:42.700]
So I can do that either by going back to the home
[00:14:44.859]
page and clicking into browse works or
[00:14:46.989]
I can just use my Breadcrumb trail again,
[00:14:49.190]
click into topics and now I've
[00:14:51.250]
pulled forward to this topics, browse,
[00:14:53.359]
I can toggle on this left hand side.
[00:14:55.830]
Remember right now I'm on topics. I want to take a look.
[00:14:57.879]
Instead it works
[00:15:00.529]
and they'll, but me forward here and again, you'll
[00:15:02.609]
see there are quite a few works listed here.
[00:15:04.788]
Obviously, not every work we have
[00:15:06.979]
information to is going to be found here.
[00:15:09.070]
These are the ones again that are most studied, most
[00:15:11.279]
searched and most used within our resource.
[00:15:13.668]
If a user can't find information, they're looking
[00:15:15.840]
for, all they need to do is run a search and they'll find
[00:15:17.969]
overviews you know, news
[00:15:20.389]
biographies, all that good stuff related to that topic.
[00:15:22.629]
These are the ones that we've pulled out that we've seen utilized
[00:15:25.070]
the most.
[00:15:26.668]
So again, I can scroll through or this time,
[00:15:28.788]
let's go ahead and filter by name. So I'm going to
[00:15:30.820]
look at the crucible since that's kind of related to what
[00:15:32.879]
we just looked at here.
[00:15:34.979]
You see, I can start to type here and
[00:15:37.058]
we've got the crucible.
[00:15:40.080]
There we go. So this is
[00:15:42.239]
our works page. OK. At the top of the page
[00:15:44.538]
again, we have our just basic information
[00:15:46.989]
here who the author is when it was published
[00:15:49.080]
the genre.
[00:15:50.090]
And for this, we do have a full text, which
[00:15:52.099]
is why you see a read work button here.
[00:15:54.279]
If you clicked into a work that we currently don't
[00:15:56.389]
have access to a full text of,
[00:15:58.418]
you won't see this per this blue button here.
[00:16:00.460]
So if you click in, you're still going to get all the great information.
[00:16:02.820]
You just won't have this button
[00:16:05.200]
before we take a look at that. I want to show you what our biographies
[00:16:07.700]
look like. So again, remember I mentioned any
[00:16:09.928]
author we have listed here, we're going to hyperlink
[00:16:12.009]
to a biography of them.
[00:16:14.408]
So when we do that here, scroll down,
[00:16:16.940]
you'll see at the very top, we get this little blue box
[00:16:19.178]
of information about the individual
[00:16:21.349]
scrolling down personal information. You'll
[00:16:23.489]
see awards. What I love is all
[00:16:25.629]
of these works listed here. So we can kind
[00:16:27.849]
of start to take a look again if your users are starting to
[00:16:29.989]
maybe research different works by Arthur Miller.
[00:16:32.269]
Arthur Miller. they'll
[00:16:34.428]
be able to do that right here
[00:16:36.558]
and maybe start researching something else
[00:16:40.080]
you'll see it's quite hefty. But this
[00:16:42.139]
is going to just give them a background about him before
[00:16:44.259]
they get started here.
[00:16:46.668]
And now let's go ahead and hit my back button so we
[00:16:48.678]
can stay on that topic page.
[00:16:52.889]
So um just like our topics, you'll see.
[00:16:55.038]
We've got our related options here on this
[00:16:57.139]
right hand side if we want to move forward with this,
[00:16:59.599]
but I do want to click into our read work so
[00:17:01.609]
you guys can take a look at what that looks like it actually
[00:17:03.969]
opens into a different tab.
[00:17:06.368]
So what's great is your students or your users
[00:17:08.588]
as they're starting to read through the text, if they need
[00:17:10.650]
to jump back, maybe to look at a criticism or
[00:17:13.029]
get a background about a specific section,
[00:17:15.049]
they're a little bit confused by, they can
[00:17:17.098]
just toggle back and forth between the tabs we have open.
[00:17:21.269]
But when they click into this text here, you'll see
[00:17:23.618]
it's full text, just like
[00:17:25.789]
I said there. So it's
[00:17:27.818]
giving all of this information, they'll be able to scroll down
[00:17:29.989]
and just hit the next button
[00:17:31.689]
and they'll be able to read all the way through
[00:17:35.509]
and we can go ahead and close that.
[00:17:40.509]
And again, if I scroll down, you'll notice this
[00:17:42.608]
looks
[00:17:43.529]
nearly identical to that topics,
[00:17:45.789]
page. You'll see for the crucible,
[00:17:47.890]
what we have related looks like we have literature, criticisms,
[00:17:50.368]
biographies, topic and work overviews
[00:17:52.568]
and then reviews and news.
[00:17:55.299]
So we'll be able to click through any. Let's go ahead and click
[00:17:57.348]
into, we'll do topic
[00:17:59.559]
and work overviews. So if we take a look at all of
[00:18:01.598]
these, now, I can kind of open up this content
[00:18:03.989]
bucket. You'll
[00:18:06.108]
see. We have everything listed here
[00:18:08.219]
on this right hand side. We have our filters
[00:18:10.568]
that have been pulled over from the
[00:18:13.239]
pre enhancement. So we still have access
[00:18:15.479]
to all of these great filters. We'll
[00:18:17.500]
be able to click through any of these. Let's just click
[00:18:19.618]
into um we'll do this one.
[00:18:23.989]
So when I click in, I still have my explore
[00:18:26.019]
panel on the right hand side, which is going to give
[00:18:28.029]
me the option to click into more like this
[00:18:30.328]
or underneath, it's going to have related subjects.
[00:18:32.818]
So just like on our topic or
[00:18:34.828]
our works pages where we have those related subjects,
[00:18:37.559]
these are a great way to kind of click forward
[00:18:39.618]
and learn more here.
[00:18:42.699]
Now, let me show you just a a few tools
[00:18:44.900]
that I like to point out just so you guys can get your
[00:18:46.979]
users kind of started and learning
[00:18:49.059]
as best as possible. First,
[00:18:51.068]
I do want to show you where our translate feature is
[00:18:53.130]
found. It's right here under the title
[00:18:55.279]
page and I know this is utilized quite frequently.
[00:18:57.400]
So I like to point it out here. It's this first little button
[00:18:59.680]
here. I can hit translate, I can
[00:19:01.789]
translate just my article. So just
[00:19:03.799]
this text here or I can choose to
[00:19:05.910]
set an interface language.
[00:19:07.969]
Let's go ahead and jump to Spanish
[00:19:11.769]
and that's going to change all of my tools here.
[00:19:14.108]
All my little buttons, my explore panel
[00:19:16.309]
is now in Spanish.
[00:19:18.328]
So I can translate either one. If I only
[00:19:20.729]
want the text of the article itself translated,
[00:19:23.189]
I can do that or I can translate everything on the screen.
[00:19:27.469]
But let's go back to English.
[00:19:30.439]
There you go.
[00:19:32.049]
In addition to changing
[00:19:34.098]
the translation, changing the language, we can also
[00:19:36.239]
increase or decrease the font size,
[00:19:39.049]
these display options are really great to
[00:19:41.068]
enhance the accessibility of
[00:19:43.108]
the resource as well. You'll see we'll be able
[00:19:45.289]
to choose different colors for a background on our page
[00:19:47.509]
to make it as easy as possible to read. We
[00:19:49.910]
also have a few different font options here.
[00:19:52.170]
We do have a dyslexia font. If your
[00:19:54.309]
users generally prefer that font, we have it available
[00:19:58.180]
and we can also change the line letter and word spacing
[00:20:00.509]
here. So we've really built this out
[00:20:02.559]
to make it as accessible as possible. Your
[00:20:04.618]
users can really decide what works best for
[00:20:06.719]
them. And once they set these preferences,
[00:20:08.900]
they're going to follow along throughout the session.
[00:20:10.959]
So they'll be able to access these as needed
[00:20:13.559]
and they can really easily go back to the default settings
[00:20:15.709]
here as well
[00:20:17.209]
and take a look.
[00:20:18.689]
Another great feature we have here is our listen tool.
[00:20:21.009]
So that's going to read through this full article for them
[00:20:23.818]
just going to hit pause here.
[00:20:26.348]
Um And when I hit that button, you'll see it pulls forward
[00:20:28.578]
this little player here. So they'll be able to listen
[00:20:30.769]
to this full text. And what's great is if they
[00:20:32.789]
translated the article into Spanish,
[00:20:35.670]
French German, it will read to them
[00:20:37.769]
in that language. So it's just another
[00:20:39.828]
layer here if they want to translate, but maybe
[00:20:42.088]
are still having trouble reading, they want to have it read
[00:20:44.309]
to them, they can easily hit that listen button
[00:20:46.598]
and that's available to them.
[00:20:48.989]
As I mentioned, we are integrated with both.
[00:20:51.689]
So, so if your students
[00:20:54.049]
or your users find something really important, maybe
[00:20:56.250]
they want to use later, maybe they want
[00:20:58.410]
to share with colleagues or with peers,
[00:21:00.799]
they'll be able to use these functions right here,
[00:21:03.229]
either sent to Google Drive or sent to Microsoft
[00:21:05.578]
one drive and it will retain the full
[00:21:07.789]
text for them and it will also include the citation.
[00:21:10.410]
So if they need to take a look back later on,
[00:21:12.449]
they'll be able to do that.
[00:21:14.699]
In addition to those features, we also have the ability
[00:21:16.910]
to get a persistent URL. And I think
[00:21:19.049]
this is really important. not only
[00:21:21.189]
for students or users who are kind of pulling
[00:21:23.199]
content, but also for teachers or librarians
[00:21:25.309]
or those of you trying to find contents to forward
[00:21:27.489]
along, you can use this get link at the
[00:21:29.519]
top of the page
[00:21:31.410]
and this provides a persistent URL to whatever
[00:21:33.818]
page you're on. So you can easily
[00:21:36.380]
copy and paste this, put it in a syllabus, put
[00:21:38.529]
it on a discussion board, put
[00:21:40.868]
it wherever you think, it's important to have it on your social
[00:21:43.009]
media accounts. Um
[00:21:45.479]
wherever your users are going to access the information,
[00:21:48.439]
we have this great get link and they'll be pulled to the
[00:21:50.479]
specific document. And a lot of times we
[00:21:52.539]
get a question is it's, you know, OK, to share
[00:21:54.630]
this link out. Yes.
[00:21:56.818]
If someone clicks into this and they don't have
[00:21:58.880]
a password for your resource.
[00:22:00.920]
They won't be able to click all the way through your access.
[00:22:03.358]
They'll be able to see this page and that's it. And then they'll
[00:22:05.449]
be prompted for a password or however you authenticate.
[00:22:08.140]
So it's really a nice way to get content out without
[00:22:10.439]
having to, you know, save it, print out a
[00:22:12.459]
bunch of copies, get it out. You can just use this
[00:22:14.469]
quick get link and send it out that way.
[00:22:18.189]
And it looks like we've got about eight minutes here and I do
[00:22:20.439]
have just a little bit more information
[00:22:22.519]
about some upcoming enhancements that we
[00:22:24.608]
are going to get out to
[00:22:26.650]
you guys coming up later in the fall.
[00:22:29.390]
So, does anyone have any questions about
[00:22:31.509]
anything while I'm kind of clicking through this?
[00:22:33.729]
If you do put those into the Q and A
[00:22:35.858]
and let me just show you these enhancements that
[00:22:37.910]
are coming. So we're going to be pulling forward primary
[00:22:40.299]
source and historical document
[00:22:42.489]
sets within this platform and these sets
[00:22:44.709]
are going to be housed on different work
[00:22:47.160]
pages. So, like we took a look at the Crucible
[00:22:49.348]
today, They're going to be housed on those
[00:22:51.439]
pages
[00:22:52.979]
and each set is specifically curated by
[00:22:55.000]
an academic professional. So they're not
[00:22:57.239]
um you know, just pulled together
[00:23:00.078]
by a computer program or something
[00:23:02.338]
like that. It's an actual individual who's going through
[00:23:04.630]
and pulling and curating this content and they're
[00:23:06.640]
going to be related to a specific
[00:23:08.689]
theme that's prominent in the work.
[00:23:10.848]
So they'll all be pulled together on this work here.
[00:23:13.019]
And they're going to include not only the textual documents
[00:23:15.489]
you would expect for primary sources, but we're
[00:23:17.539]
also going to have multimedia content here.
[00:23:19.630]
So your users are going to find the pictures
[00:23:21.729]
that are really going to supplement what they're learning
[00:23:24.449]
and they're going to be found right on the works pages.
[00:23:28.130]
And now again, this isn't here right now. This is coming
[00:23:30.549]
later in the fall of 2023.
[00:23:32.729]
I can't tell you exactly when because I'm not, I
[00:23:34.920]
don't think we have that information just yet, but we're
[00:23:37.029]
working on it. So you'll start to see this
[00:23:39.088]
stuff rolling. again, fall
[00:23:41.170]
2023
[00:23:44.848]
and I've not seen any questions pop up
[00:23:46.868]
here. So we got about five minutes if you
[00:23:48.930]
think of any. But let me give you some follow up information.
[00:23:51.180]
So if you want to dig a little bit deeper in
[00:23:53.229]
the resource, maybe talk more about the content
[00:23:55.650]
we have available. We didn't hit that a lot today
[00:23:57.719]
since we were looking at our enhancements. reach
[00:24:00.108]
out to your customer success manager. If you don't
[00:24:02.170]
know who that is, you can send an email to
[00:24:04.309]
[email protected]
[00:24:06.525]
You'll be forwarded to the correct individual
[00:24:09.314]
if you don't have access to Gale Literature
[00:24:11.555]
Resource Center, right. Now and you want to talk about it,
[00:24:13.674]
you can reach out to your sales consultant.
[00:24:15.963]
If you don't know who that is, you can go to
[00:24:18.035]
support.gale.com/repfinder
[00:24:20.164]
You put in your information and
[00:24:22.233]
we'll let you know who you need to contact
[00:24:25.199]
if you need some additional support materials.
[00:24:27.400]
Maybe you wanna take a look at
[00:24:29.130]
the webinars. We have created the flyers,
[00:24:31.430]
we have created
[00:24:33.459]
the resource guide, all that good stuff.
[00:24:35.618]
Anything you can imagine, support and training
[00:24:37.880]
wise we have on our support site which
[00:24:40.039]
is support.gale.com. So if you
[00:24:42.118]
are planning on getting this information out to your learning
[00:24:44.269]
community, I suggest taking a look. So you don't
[00:24:46.449]
have to reinvent the wheel. We've got some great
[00:24:48.500]
content built out for you that you can forward along.
[00:24:52.140]
And finally, I do have a session survey here.
[00:24:54.299]
If you have the time to take it, I would love to hear
[00:24:56.368]
from you to make sure we're covering everything
[00:24:58.420]
you're looking for in these webinars.
[00:25:00.949]
So feel free to either scan this QR code
[00:25:03.259]
or it's going to pop up in your browser once we're done
[00:25:05.400]
today again. Thank you all for being here today
[00:25:07.750]
and hopefully we'll see you in future sessions.
We're going to be talking about the new enhancements
[00:00:07.669]
to Gale Literature Resource Center. My
[00:00:09.800]
name is Amber Winters and I'm a senior training
[00:00:11.909]
consultant here with Gale today and I'll be working
[00:00:14.140]
with you. So let's go ahead and take a quick
[00:00:16.158]
look at our agenda here. First, I just want
[00:00:18.250]
to review the enhancements before we look
[00:00:20.350]
in and kind of dive in. Just want to go over what you're
[00:00:22.449]
going to see. There are some really great
[00:00:24.510]
enhancements that are very simple but very impactful.
[00:00:27.048]
So we're going to go through those, then we'll spend
[00:00:29.260]
time actually walking through the platform seeing
[00:00:31.370]
some of the different workflows that your patrons or your
[00:00:33.509]
students might be using.
[00:00:35.189]
And then at the very end of the session, we should have some
[00:00:37.298]
time for questions and I have some wrap up contact
[00:00:39.679]
information for you as well. Again,
[00:00:41.848]
feel free to ask questions as we move through
[00:00:43.889]
the session. But I will try to save time
[00:00:45.959]
at the very end in case there's anything that we weren't able
[00:00:47.969]
to touch on.
[00:00:50.529]
So first off, if you're new to Gale Literature
[00:00:52.759]
Resource Center, just a few basics here for
[00:00:54.950]
you this is really a holistic approach
[00:00:57.450]
to researching and learning about literature.
[00:00:59.709]
We were bringing all of the information related
[00:01:01.990]
to different works, topics and authors
[00:01:04.049]
together in one spot here
[00:01:06.269]
and we do have the ability to browse a platform
[00:01:08.448]
by either work or topic. We've also included
[00:01:10.859]
both basic and advanced search as well
[00:01:12.969]
as a pretty detailed people
[00:01:15.150]
search. So if you have users coming in looking for
[00:01:17.250]
individuals, they'll be able to search for
[00:01:19.909]
a person here as well.
[00:01:22.079]
We've got a lot of different content types
[00:01:24.138]
available. So you'll as you would imagine,
[00:01:26.379]
you'll see the standard biographies and work overviews,
[00:01:28.588]
literary criticisms. But we also
[00:01:30.819]
have some great primary sources. We have
[00:01:32.959]
quite a few full text, literary works
[00:01:35.278]
in here. We'll be able to take a look at in a second
[00:01:37.599]
and we also have news and magazines. So we're bringing
[00:01:40.019]
kind of the current events
[00:01:42.099]
currently what's going in the world into this resource
[00:01:44.558]
to make sure that students and users aren't
[00:01:46.588]
just getting,
[00:01:47.879]
you know, background information about a text.
[00:01:50.239]
They're also saying how that text is
[00:01:52.299]
related to what's currently going on. Maybe it's
[00:01:54.379]
censorship. Um some things like that,
[00:01:56.689]
they'll be able to kind of get a feel of how it's currently impacting
[00:01:59.138]
society and how society itself is impacting
[00:02:01.540]
the authors and the works.
[00:02:04.308]
And we do have quite a few different research tools
[00:02:06.629]
available. These are consistent through the majority
[00:02:08.639]
of the gale resources. So if you're familiar with
[00:02:10.710]
any gale resources, you've most likely seen
[00:02:12.719]
these, but we've got some advanced highlights
[00:02:14.899]
and notes functionality to help your researchers.
[00:02:17.580]
We've got Google and Microsoft integration
[00:02:19.669]
for them to save the information that they find.
[00:02:21.784]
We have our premade citations built
[00:02:23.933]
out ready to go for them. We have a topic finder
[00:02:26.615]
and we have the ability to both translate
[00:02:29.054]
the text and kind of manipulate it a little bit.
[00:02:31.213]
So change the font, change the color, things
[00:02:33.254]
like that.
[00:02:34.125]
And we will review all of those today once we dive
[00:02:36.375]
in, but let's go ahead and take
[00:02:38.508]
a look at our enhancements. I'm really excited to go over
[00:02:40.618]
these for you today. So if you've been
[00:02:42.699]
within Gale Literature Resource Center before
[00:02:44.758]
the enhancements, you'll see the home page looks
[00:02:46.949]
a lot different now.
[00:02:48.479]
So we've decided to do at the very top here. We've
[00:02:50.618]
decided to pull forward featured works
[00:02:53.360]
and these works, these tiles on this home page change
[00:02:55.639]
monthly. So every time your user goes in in
[00:02:57.689]
a new month, they're going to have a different experience
[00:03:00.050]
and they're going to be able to engage with some different
[00:03:02.139]
texts, which I think is really valuable to kind of get
[00:03:04.319]
them researching on their own and kind of
[00:03:06.330]
extending their own learning.
[00:03:08.808]
And these do change monthly again and we have a browse
[00:03:11.118]
works button here. So we've created what's
[00:03:13.419]
called works, topic pages that kind of
[00:03:15.500]
pull everything about a work together on one
[00:03:17.610]
page to really engage your users
[00:03:19.729]
to make it really easy for them to kind of point and click
[00:03:21.770]
to where they need to be.
[00:03:23.368]
And underneath those featured works, we
[00:03:25.399]
have featured topics here as well. You'll see it's
[00:03:27.409]
fairly similar. The tiles
[00:03:29.729]
for our featured works are larger just because there are
[00:03:31.868]
a lot of featured topics that we pull forward,
[00:03:34.469]
but these topics will change monthly as well
[00:03:37.500]
and these topic pages are going to pull forward
[00:03:39.939]
generally to different themes in literature.
[00:03:42.159]
We also have different literary movements and
[00:03:44.300]
genres.
[00:03:46.110]
So it's kind of again pulling that holistic view
[00:03:48.229]
together. So if your users aren't necessarily looking
[00:03:50.460]
for a work, maybe they're interested in.
[00:03:52.808]
if we pull this forward here, um We
[00:03:54.868]
have Literature of the Harlem Renaissance is one
[00:03:57.000]
that we've pulled forward. Maybe they're just interested kind of broadly
[00:03:59.610]
in that topic. They'll be able to browse
[00:04:01.788]
through and find content that way as well. So
[00:04:03.879]
not only are we getting a little more
[00:04:05.990]
precise with the works, we're also getting
[00:04:08.099]
a little bit more broad talking about just the different
[00:04:10.229]
topics and themes that are going to be found in those
[00:04:12.429]
works. So kind of two fold right here
[00:04:14.599]
on the home page, they'll be able to browse without
[00:04:16.629]
even running a search. This is really going to help
[00:04:18.699]
them just point and click to engage.
[00:04:21.209]
And if they do decide to hit one of these orange buttons
[00:04:23.350]
here, either the browse works or the browse
[00:04:25.509]
topics. They'll be launched here into this
[00:04:27.889]
kind of second layer of browsing here.
[00:04:29.988]
So on the left, you'll see, we have our works option
[00:04:32.350]
and then on the right, we have our topics
[00:04:34.588]
on the left. The works is a little bit simplified
[00:04:37.290]
because there are less work to take a look at while topics
[00:04:39.809]
we have a, a huge collection. So
[00:04:41.910]
you'll see it is a little more kind of
[00:04:43.920]
broken up here.
[00:04:45.660]
But on the, the upper left hand side
[00:04:47.699]
of each of these pages here, you'll see it's the same
[00:04:49.970]
and they can toggle back and forth between looking
[00:04:52.119]
at works and looking at topics.
[00:04:54.428]
So if they take a look at the topics, maybe
[00:04:56.629]
find something interesting. But when I jump back to the works,
[00:04:58.759]
they don't need to hit back and go to the home page.
[00:05:01.019]
We have that toggle right there on the top of the page.
[00:05:03.819]
We also have the ability to filter on both
[00:05:05.928]
of these options. So if they are kind of scrolling
[00:05:08.199]
through, especially when we're looking at topics.
[00:05:10.699]
Once we click in, you'll see there is a huge
[00:05:12.939]
number of topics available. So oftentimes
[00:05:15.379]
it's helpful just to filter it by something they're looking
[00:05:17.500]
for. They'll be able to do that on this home page
[00:05:19.600]
as well.
[00:05:21.588]
And when they click into any of these tiles or any
[00:05:23.649]
of these entries, they're going to be pulled forward
[00:05:25.720]
into topic pages. So we
[00:05:27.778]
can call them works pages or topic
[00:05:29.910]
pages, whichever they're going to pull that same
[00:05:32.129]
bit of content.
[00:05:33.500]
So when they click in, this is what they're going to see.
[00:05:35.528]
On the left here, we have a works
[00:05:37.548]
page for the awakening.
[00:05:39.389]
And then on the right here, we've got a topic
[00:05:41.738]
page specific to East Asian literature.
[00:05:44.928]
And you'll say they look almost identical. One
[00:05:47.108]
thing I will point out on this left hand side here, when
[00:05:49.238]
we're talking about a work page is
[00:05:51.329]
we're going to provide information about that work at the
[00:05:53.338]
very top. You'll see, we have the author, this
[00:05:55.639]
is hyperlink, which is why it's blue. We always provide
[00:05:57.970]
a biography about the author attached to
[00:06:00.019]
this work page. You have a bit more
[00:06:02.059]
information when it was publish the genre.
[00:06:04.504]
And if we have the full text for the work, this
[00:06:06.584]
is a new feature here. We have a read
[00:06:08.774]
work button that's going to be found right here at the top
[00:06:11.014]
of the page and this is going to pull them to the full
[00:06:13.225]
text of the work. So we'll actually be able
[00:06:15.314]
to read that right here on our platform as opposed to having
[00:06:17.564]
to you know, pull a hard copy or have
[00:06:19.613]
it pulled somewhere else.
[00:06:23.230]
But other than that kind of background about
[00:06:25.809]
a work itself, the pages
[00:06:27.889]
are exactly the same. They have an overview
[00:06:29.899]
with related topics at the very top here.
[00:06:31.970]
So giving them kind of a background as
[00:06:34.100]
well as a a next step where they may
[00:06:36.220]
want to click to take a look at things
[00:06:38.149]
underneath that we have results organized
[00:06:40.389]
by different content types. So you'll see here,
[00:06:42.410]
literature criticisms and biographies,
[00:06:44.879]
some will have multimedia materials,
[00:06:46.949]
primary sources, those are all up
[00:06:49.028]
here here on this topic page.
[00:06:51.980]
And then at the bottom here, we've got our results
[00:06:54.540]
nice and organized so your users can start to
[00:06:56.579]
click through and they will be able to
[00:06:58.629]
access this content right here on this home page.
[00:07:00.879]
So this is kind of moving them
[00:07:03.040]
forward without searching, especially if you're working
[00:07:05.660]
in the K 12 arena. If you've got secondary students,
[00:07:07.899]
you're working with who may not be the best
[00:07:10.329]
just yet at building their search terms.
[00:07:12.459]
This is a really nice way for them to gain access
[00:07:14.660]
to information just by pointing and clicking.
[00:07:16.910]
Also great. If they have a really broad
[00:07:19.040]
idea in mind,
[00:07:20.790]
they can just click into that broad idea
[00:07:22.949]
and we're going to help them narrow down to the
[00:07:24.970]
content that they need. So a really
[00:07:27.000]
clean, simple way to do that right here on this page.
[00:07:31.399]
Now, let's go ahead and take a look. I think I'm done talking
[00:07:33.689]
about it. I definitely want us to be able to engage with
[00:07:35.879]
it and see how everything works here. Oops,
[00:07:38.100]
almost signed me out.
[00:07:39.660]
Um Before I do, does anyone have any questions?
[00:07:41.959]
I haven't seen them pop into the Q and A but I
[00:07:43.980]
want to make sure I address anything.
[00:07:49.129]
Ok, I don't see any. So let's go ahead
[00:07:51.350]
and start taking a look here at this home page then.
[00:07:53.670]
So this is what they're going to see as soon as they're launched.
[00:07:55.829]
And again, it looks substantially
[00:07:58.350]
different than previously. You'll see. We no longer have
[00:08:00.959]
the featured authors. We're now featuring
[00:08:03.269]
works and topics on this
[00:08:05.358]
home page here.
[00:08:06.480]
But we have kept both our basing
[00:08:08.569]
an advanced search at the top of the page. Of course,
[00:08:10.689]
we know a lot of users like to
[00:08:12.949]
kind of dig right in with whatever search they have.
[00:08:15.329]
They usually have something specific in mind. We do
[00:08:17.480]
still include that here.
[00:08:19.459]
If they are looking for a person for an
[00:08:21.480]
author or
[00:08:22.939]
some other literary individual,
[00:08:25.309]
we have a person search that we have included
[00:08:27.338]
on this toolbar here. So they'll be
[00:08:29.439]
able to click into this. So while they won't be able to browse
[00:08:31.699]
on the home page, I always like to point this out.
[00:08:33.869]
They can go through a really powerful person
[00:08:36.460]
search to find the information for the person they're looking
[00:08:38.719]
for and they can search by the person's
[00:08:40.820]
name. But what's great is they can also just
[00:08:42.918]
search by limiters. So maybe they're looking specifically,
[00:08:45.219]
let's say for Native American,
[00:08:47.719]
let's say female authors,
[00:08:49.840]
they have very specific parameters in mind, but
[00:08:51.879]
they don't have a specific individual, they
[00:08:54.070]
can run through these search limiters
[00:08:56.619]
hit search.
[00:08:59.369]
I know they be pull forward to all of the individuals
[00:09:01.649]
we have available and they'll be able to click through
[00:09:03.759]
and kind of take a look at all of this great information.
[00:09:06.570]
So we have the kind of moved how
[00:09:08.658]
we explore individuals
[00:09:10.798]
within this resource. But we do still have it
[00:09:13.168]
found really simply here on the home page.
[00:09:17.928]
Now, under that again, we've pulled forward featured
[00:09:20.330]
works that are going to change monthly
[00:09:23.149]
and then underneath featured topics that will
[00:09:25.250]
change monthly here as well.
[00:09:27.340]
So let's just start off with looking at
[00:09:29.379]
the featured topics. If I decide to
[00:09:31.450]
take a look, I'll hit my browse topics button
[00:09:33.489]
just so we can see all of them here.
[00:09:35.779]
As I mentioned, we have a lot of topics.
[00:09:38.080]
So if I just start to scroll down, you can kind of get a feel
[00:09:41.349]
and all of these things we have here,
[00:09:43.899]
we've pulled forward to kind of curate the results.
[00:09:46.080]
So you're going to see those topic pages.
[00:09:48.889]
So of course, if users don't find exactly
[00:09:50.979]
what they're looking for through this browse, they
[00:09:53.119]
can always run a search and they'll pull content that way.
[00:09:55.469]
But all of these have that pre created
[00:09:57.548]
topic page to kind of help your users
[00:09:59.668]
better understand what's going on.
[00:10:02.340]
And at the top of the page, you'll see they can
[00:10:04.349]
jump to a specific section if they have something
[00:10:06.719]
in mind. So maybe it's film,
[00:10:08.798]
maybe it's about disease, maybe
[00:10:10.940]
something historical. They're looking for
[00:10:13.149]
a specific era or a movement. They'll
[00:10:15.359]
be able to navigate down to that right here on this
[00:10:17.500]
page. If they prefer to, as
[00:10:19.538]
opposed to scrolling down
[00:10:21.269]
again, they can run a search. If they have something
[00:10:23.418]
specific in mind, they can certainly run a search that
[00:10:25.450]
way or they
[00:10:27.489]
can just scroll down and click. So let's click today
[00:10:29.629]
into mccarthyism and literature.
[00:10:32.399]
So this is going to be our topic page here.
[00:10:34.710]
As I mentioned at the top, there's a full overview.
[00:10:37.009]
This is going to give that
[00:10:39.090]
background information or that first
[00:10:41.219]
layer of research to make sure everyone
[00:10:43.229]
kind of understands where they are, what they're going to
[00:10:45.269]
be learning about. So you see, I can click
[00:10:47.450]
to read a full overview
[00:10:49.719]
as I scroll down here. You'll see it's giving me some
[00:10:51.788]
different representative works. Our related
[00:10:54.250]
subjects are going to appear here on this right
[00:10:56.389]
side. We include some great suggested,
[00:10:58.918]
suggested topics
[00:11:00.969]
here as well. So these are nice to kind of
[00:11:03.019]
move your users forward. If maybe they're a little
[00:11:05.129]
bit stuck, they don't know where they want to go with
[00:11:07.178]
their learning. This is a really nice way
[00:11:09.570]
to get them pointed somewhere else. These suggested
[00:11:11.820]
topics here,
[00:11:14.019]
you see, we've got an introduction
[00:11:16.580]
and again, this is going to provide just some base knowledge
[00:11:19.080]
for them.
[00:11:20.038]
Now, to get back to my topic page, I can either hit
[00:11:22.080]
my back button in my browser or you'll see.
[00:11:24.119]
I've got a breadcrumb trail here and
[00:11:26.210]
I can just jump back to mccarthyism and literature.
[00:11:30.418]
So up top here, we do have again,
[00:11:32.639]
our related topics. You'll see, some of them are
[00:11:34.700]
topics, some of them are actually works
[00:11:36.899]
and this is going to vary just depending on
[00:11:39.119]
um and what they're taking
[00:11:41.440]
a look at. Of course some topics may have
[00:11:43.558]
a lot more works related to them. Some
[00:11:46.000]
may have just more related topics. So they'll
[00:11:48.158]
see that under this related section.
[00:11:50.649]
It looks like we have a question from Casey.
[00:11:52.950]
What is the citation I saw at the bottom?
[00:11:54.989]
So yeah, Casey, I can jump back here. So
[00:11:57.149]
what Casey is referring to if I scroll all the way down
[00:11:59.649]
on the bottom of any article or any entry,
[00:12:02.029]
picture video
[00:12:03.840]
at the very bottom, we do have our source citation
[00:12:06.149]
here. It's an Mlaap a Chicago
[00:12:08.548]
or Harvard. So they can click back and
[00:12:10.590]
forth and they have the ability
[00:12:12.668]
to copy and paste this. You'll see they have the
[00:12:14.759]
option to export it to our different
[00:12:16.869]
tools, things like Google drive, one drive, noodle
[00:12:19.070]
tools.
[00:12:20.609]
And we have this again for every single entry that
[00:12:22.668]
we have. So if they're maybe using a video
[00:12:25.048]
for you know, presentations they're
[00:12:27.090]
making or something like that, they can pull the citation
[00:12:29.609]
for that video as well. And I will
[00:12:31.658]
also mention the citations are not only
[00:12:33.700]
found at the bottom of the page, but they're also
[00:12:35.840]
in our toolbar up top here. So you'll see, I can click
[00:12:38.048]
into the site button
[00:12:40.779]
and it pulls me the same information I can click through
[00:12:42.918]
and choose Mlaap A Chicago or Harvard.
[00:12:45.460]
And then again, I can either just copy and paste
[00:12:47.538]
it into a work cited or I can export
[00:12:49.879]
it to a drive or a, an app,
[00:12:51.940]
whatever I'm using here.
[00:12:57.879]
OK. So let's go ahead and jump back again here
[00:13:00.000]
to our topic page.
[00:13:02.849]
So scrolling down underneath our overview and
[00:13:04.918]
our related topics here,
[00:13:06.960]
we're going to see all of the results we
[00:13:09.000]
have specifically specifically related
[00:13:11.349]
to this one topic here. And you see it's
[00:13:13.460]
pretty narrowed down, you know, we're not getting hundreds
[00:13:15.609]
of thousands of results and we've kind of done that on purpose
[00:13:18.219]
because we want this to be a really focused
[00:13:20.340]
page for users. And as they
[00:13:22.369]
start to kind of dig deeper and realize they may need
[00:13:24.538]
more specific information. That's where
[00:13:27.019]
our, our basic and advanced searches start to come
[00:13:29.099]
in where they're going to pull more content and they'll be able to
[00:13:31.119]
see some more specific bits of information.
[00:13:33.239]
But we've decided to make these
[00:13:35.830]
topic pages as precise as we can
[00:13:38.090]
to make sure they can find that information that
[00:13:40.139]
they need. So you'll see, we've got our literature
[00:13:42.330]
criticisms, biographies on individuals,
[00:13:45.090]
scrolling down here, topic and work, overviews,
[00:13:47.509]
news and reviews, all that good stuff. So
[00:13:49.658]
we've pulled this all out separately so they can really
[00:13:51.989]
easily click into what they need. They're not going through
[00:13:54.178]
a huge
[00:13:55.658]
a list of content
[00:13:57.788]
that might not be exactly relevant to what they're looking
[00:14:00.000]
for, really narrow it down for them.
[00:14:02.389]
And we do have another question here. How are the featured
[00:14:04.599]
works and topics selected?
[00:14:06.769]
So we choose our topics of works based
[00:14:08.979]
on what's utilized most in the resource,
[00:14:11.469]
what's studied most. We oftentimes
[00:14:13.710]
work with customers and work with individuals
[00:14:15.940]
using the resource to better understand
[00:14:17.989]
what's being searched, what's being utilized, what's
[00:14:20.109]
being studied in, you know, secondary
[00:14:22.678]
school and colleges and universities.
[00:14:24.918]
So we really base it on a lot of factors
[00:14:27.090]
but I guess shorts answer is
[00:14:29.288]
it's based on what's utilized the most and what's
[00:14:31.418]
studied the most.
[00:14:32.779]
OK. So let's go ahead and
[00:14:35.009]
jump back. Now. I want to take a look at what
[00:14:37.229]
a works page is going to look at. So again, this is
[00:14:39.288]
our topic page and our works page is
[00:14:41.369]
going to be similar.
[00:14:42.700]
So I can do that either by going back to the home
[00:14:44.859]
page and clicking into browse works or
[00:14:46.989]
I can just use my Breadcrumb trail again,
[00:14:49.190]
click into topics and now I've
[00:14:51.250]
pulled forward to this topics, browse,
[00:14:53.359]
I can toggle on this left hand side.
[00:14:55.830]
Remember right now I'm on topics. I want to take a look.
[00:14:57.879]
Instead it works
[00:15:00.529]
and they'll, but me forward here and again, you'll
[00:15:02.609]
see there are quite a few works listed here.
[00:15:04.788]
Obviously, not every work we have
[00:15:06.979]
information to is going to be found here.
[00:15:09.070]
These are the ones again that are most studied, most
[00:15:11.279]
searched and most used within our resource.
[00:15:13.668]
If a user can't find information, they're looking
[00:15:15.840]
for, all they need to do is run a search and they'll find
[00:15:17.969]
overviews you know, news
[00:15:20.389]
biographies, all that good stuff related to that topic.
[00:15:22.629]
These are the ones that we've pulled out that we've seen utilized
[00:15:25.070]
the most.
[00:15:26.668]
So again, I can scroll through or this time,
[00:15:28.788]
let's go ahead and filter by name. So I'm going to
[00:15:30.820]
look at the crucible since that's kind of related to what
[00:15:32.879]
we just looked at here.
[00:15:34.979]
You see, I can start to type here and
[00:15:37.058]
we've got the crucible.
[00:15:40.080]
There we go. So this is
[00:15:42.239]
our works page. OK. At the top of the page
[00:15:44.538]
again, we have our just basic information
[00:15:46.989]
here who the author is when it was published
[00:15:49.080]
the genre.
[00:15:50.090]
And for this, we do have a full text, which
[00:15:52.099]
is why you see a read work button here.
[00:15:54.279]
If you clicked into a work that we currently don't
[00:15:56.389]
have access to a full text of,
[00:15:58.418]
you won't see this per this blue button here.
[00:16:00.460]
So if you click in, you're still going to get all the great information.
[00:16:02.820]
You just won't have this button
[00:16:05.200]
before we take a look at that. I want to show you what our biographies
[00:16:07.700]
look like. So again, remember I mentioned any
[00:16:09.928]
author we have listed here, we're going to hyperlink
[00:16:12.009]
to a biography of them.
[00:16:14.408]
So when we do that here, scroll down,
[00:16:16.940]
you'll see at the very top, we get this little blue box
[00:16:19.178]
of information about the individual
[00:16:21.349]
scrolling down personal information. You'll
[00:16:23.489]
see awards. What I love is all
[00:16:25.629]
of these works listed here. So we can kind
[00:16:27.849]
of start to take a look again if your users are starting to
[00:16:29.989]
maybe research different works by Arthur Miller.
[00:16:32.269]
Arthur Miller. they'll
[00:16:34.428]
be able to do that right here
[00:16:36.558]
and maybe start researching something else
[00:16:40.080]
you'll see it's quite hefty. But this
[00:16:42.139]
is going to just give them a background about him before
[00:16:44.259]
they get started here.
[00:16:46.668]
And now let's go ahead and hit my back button so we
[00:16:48.678]
can stay on that topic page.
[00:16:52.889]
So um just like our topics, you'll see.
[00:16:55.038]
We've got our related options here on this
[00:16:57.139]
right hand side if we want to move forward with this,
[00:16:59.599]
but I do want to click into our read work so
[00:17:01.609]
you guys can take a look at what that looks like it actually
[00:17:03.969]
opens into a different tab.
[00:17:06.368]
So what's great is your students or your users
[00:17:08.588]
as they're starting to read through the text, if they need
[00:17:10.650]
to jump back, maybe to look at a criticism or
[00:17:13.029]
get a background about a specific section,
[00:17:15.049]
they're a little bit confused by, they can
[00:17:17.098]
just toggle back and forth between the tabs we have open.
[00:17:21.269]
But when they click into this text here, you'll see
[00:17:23.618]
it's full text, just like
[00:17:25.789]
I said there. So it's
[00:17:27.818]
giving all of this information, they'll be able to scroll down
[00:17:29.989]
and just hit the next button
[00:17:31.689]
and they'll be able to read all the way through
[00:17:35.509]
and we can go ahead and close that.
[00:17:40.509]
And again, if I scroll down, you'll notice this
[00:17:42.608]
looks
[00:17:43.529]
nearly identical to that topics,
[00:17:45.789]
page. You'll see for the crucible,
[00:17:47.890]
what we have related looks like we have literature, criticisms,
[00:17:50.368]
biographies, topic and work overviews
[00:17:52.568]
and then reviews and news.
[00:17:55.299]
So we'll be able to click through any. Let's go ahead and click
[00:17:57.348]
into, we'll do topic
[00:17:59.559]
and work overviews. So if we take a look at all of
[00:18:01.598]
these, now, I can kind of open up this content
[00:18:03.989]
bucket. You'll
[00:18:06.108]
see. We have everything listed here
[00:18:08.219]
on this right hand side. We have our filters
[00:18:10.568]
that have been pulled over from the
[00:18:13.239]
pre enhancement. So we still have access
[00:18:15.479]
to all of these great filters. We'll
[00:18:17.500]
be able to click through any of these. Let's just click
[00:18:19.618]
into um we'll do this one.
[00:18:23.989]
So when I click in, I still have my explore
[00:18:26.019]
panel on the right hand side, which is going to give
[00:18:28.029]
me the option to click into more like this
[00:18:30.328]
or underneath, it's going to have related subjects.
[00:18:32.818]
So just like on our topic or
[00:18:34.828]
our works pages where we have those related subjects,
[00:18:37.559]
these are a great way to kind of click forward
[00:18:39.618]
and learn more here.
[00:18:42.699]
Now, let me show you just a a few tools
[00:18:44.900]
that I like to point out just so you guys can get your
[00:18:46.979]
users kind of started and learning
[00:18:49.059]
as best as possible. First,
[00:18:51.068]
I do want to show you where our translate feature is
[00:18:53.130]
found. It's right here under the title
[00:18:55.279]
page and I know this is utilized quite frequently.
[00:18:57.400]
So I like to point it out here. It's this first little button
[00:18:59.680]
here. I can hit translate, I can
[00:19:01.789]
translate just my article. So just
[00:19:03.799]
this text here or I can choose to
[00:19:05.910]
set an interface language.
[00:19:07.969]
Let's go ahead and jump to Spanish
[00:19:11.769]
and that's going to change all of my tools here.
[00:19:14.108]
All my little buttons, my explore panel
[00:19:16.309]
is now in Spanish.
[00:19:18.328]
So I can translate either one. If I only
[00:19:20.729]
want the text of the article itself translated,
[00:19:23.189]
I can do that or I can translate everything on the screen.
[00:19:27.469]
But let's go back to English.
[00:19:30.439]
There you go.
[00:19:32.049]
In addition to changing
[00:19:34.098]
the translation, changing the language, we can also
[00:19:36.239]
increase or decrease the font size,
[00:19:39.049]
these display options are really great to
[00:19:41.068]
enhance the accessibility of
[00:19:43.108]
the resource as well. You'll see we'll be able
[00:19:45.289]
to choose different colors for a background on our page
[00:19:47.509]
to make it as easy as possible to read. We
[00:19:49.910]
also have a few different font options here.
[00:19:52.170]
We do have a dyslexia font. If your
[00:19:54.309]
users generally prefer that font, we have it available
[00:19:58.180]
and we can also change the line letter and word spacing
[00:20:00.509]
here. So we've really built this out
[00:20:02.559]
to make it as accessible as possible. Your
[00:20:04.618]
users can really decide what works best for
[00:20:06.719]
them. And once they set these preferences,
[00:20:08.900]
they're going to follow along throughout the session.
[00:20:10.959]
So they'll be able to access these as needed
[00:20:13.559]
and they can really easily go back to the default settings
[00:20:15.709]
here as well
[00:20:17.209]
and take a look.
[00:20:18.689]
Another great feature we have here is our listen tool.
[00:20:21.009]
So that's going to read through this full article for them
[00:20:23.818]
just going to hit pause here.
[00:20:26.348]
Um And when I hit that button, you'll see it pulls forward
[00:20:28.578]
this little player here. So they'll be able to listen
[00:20:30.769]
to this full text. And what's great is if they
[00:20:32.789]
translated the article into Spanish,
[00:20:35.670]
French German, it will read to them
[00:20:37.769]
in that language. So it's just another
[00:20:39.828]
layer here if they want to translate, but maybe
[00:20:42.088]
are still having trouble reading, they want to have it read
[00:20:44.309]
to them, they can easily hit that listen button
[00:20:46.598]
and that's available to them.
[00:20:48.989]
As I mentioned, we are integrated with both.
[00:20:51.689]
So, so if your students
[00:20:54.049]
or your users find something really important, maybe
[00:20:56.250]
they want to use later, maybe they want
[00:20:58.410]
to share with colleagues or with peers,
[00:21:00.799]
they'll be able to use these functions right here,
[00:21:03.229]
either sent to Google Drive or sent to Microsoft
[00:21:05.578]
one drive and it will retain the full
[00:21:07.789]
text for them and it will also include the citation.
[00:21:10.410]
So if they need to take a look back later on,
[00:21:12.449]
they'll be able to do that.
[00:21:14.699]
In addition to those features, we also have the ability
[00:21:16.910]
to get a persistent URL. And I think
[00:21:19.049]
this is really important. not only
[00:21:21.189]
for students or users who are kind of pulling
[00:21:23.199]
content, but also for teachers or librarians
[00:21:25.309]
or those of you trying to find contents to forward
[00:21:27.489]
along, you can use this get link at the
[00:21:29.519]
top of the page
[00:21:31.410]
and this provides a persistent URL to whatever
[00:21:33.818]
page you're on. So you can easily
[00:21:36.380]
copy and paste this, put it in a syllabus, put
[00:21:38.529]
it on a discussion board, put
[00:21:40.868]
it wherever you think, it's important to have it on your social
[00:21:43.009]
media accounts. Um
[00:21:45.479]
wherever your users are going to access the information,
[00:21:48.439]
we have this great get link and they'll be pulled to the
[00:21:50.479]
specific document. And a lot of times we
[00:21:52.539]
get a question is it's, you know, OK, to share
[00:21:54.630]
this link out. Yes.
[00:21:56.818]
If someone clicks into this and they don't have
[00:21:58.880]
a password for your resource.
[00:22:00.920]
They won't be able to click all the way through your access.
[00:22:03.358]
They'll be able to see this page and that's it. And then they'll
[00:22:05.449]
be prompted for a password or however you authenticate.
[00:22:08.140]
So it's really a nice way to get content out without
[00:22:10.439]
having to, you know, save it, print out a
[00:22:12.459]
bunch of copies, get it out. You can just use this
[00:22:14.469]
quick get link and send it out that way.
[00:22:18.189]
And it looks like we've got about eight minutes here and I do
[00:22:20.439]
have just a little bit more information
[00:22:22.519]
about some upcoming enhancements that we
[00:22:24.608]
are going to get out to
[00:22:26.650]
you guys coming up later in the fall.
[00:22:29.390]
So, does anyone have any questions about
[00:22:31.509]
anything while I'm kind of clicking through this?
[00:22:33.729]
If you do put those into the Q and A
[00:22:35.858]
and let me just show you these enhancements that
[00:22:37.910]
are coming. So we're going to be pulling forward primary
[00:22:40.299]
source and historical document
[00:22:42.489]
sets within this platform and these sets
[00:22:44.709]
are going to be housed on different work
[00:22:47.160]
pages. So, like we took a look at the Crucible
[00:22:49.348]
today, They're going to be housed on those
[00:22:51.439]
pages
[00:22:52.979]
and each set is specifically curated by
[00:22:55.000]
an academic professional. So they're not
[00:22:57.239]
um you know, just pulled together
[00:23:00.078]
by a computer program or something
[00:23:02.338]
like that. It's an actual individual who's going through
[00:23:04.630]
and pulling and curating this content and they're
[00:23:06.640]
going to be related to a specific
[00:23:08.689]
theme that's prominent in the work.
[00:23:10.848]
So they'll all be pulled together on this work here.
[00:23:13.019]
And they're going to include not only the textual documents
[00:23:15.489]
you would expect for primary sources, but we're
[00:23:17.539]
also going to have multimedia content here.
[00:23:19.630]
So your users are going to find the pictures
[00:23:21.729]
that are really going to supplement what they're learning
[00:23:24.449]
and they're going to be found right on the works pages.
[00:23:28.130]
And now again, this isn't here right now. This is coming
[00:23:30.549]
later in the fall of 2023.
[00:23:32.729]
I can't tell you exactly when because I'm not, I
[00:23:34.920]
don't think we have that information just yet, but we're
[00:23:37.029]
working on it. So you'll start to see this
[00:23:39.088]
stuff rolling. again, fall
[00:23:41.170]
2023
[00:23:44.848]
and I've not seen any questions pop up
[00:23:46.868]
here. So we got about five minutes if you
[00:23:48.930]
think of any. But let me give you some follow up information.
[00:23:51.180]
So if you want to dig a little bit deeper in
[00:23:53.229]
the resource, maybe talk more about the content
[00:23:55.650]
we have available. We didn't hit that a lot today
[00:23:57.719]
since we were looking at our enhancements. reach
[00:24:00.108]
out to your customer success manager. If you don't
[00:24:02.170]
know who that is, you can send an email to
[00:24:04.309]
[email protected]
[00:24:06.525]
You'll be forwarded to the correct individual
[00:24:09.314]
if you don't have access to Gale Literature
[00:24:11.555]
Resource Center, right. Now and you want to talk about it,
[00:24:13.674]
you can reach out to your sales consultant.
[00:24:15.963]
If you don't know who that is, you can go to
[00:24:18.035]

[00:24:20.164]
You put in your information and
[00:24:22.233]
we'll let you know who you need to contact
[00:24:25.199]
if you need some additional support materials.
[00:24:27.400]
Maybe you wanna take a look at
[00:24:29.130]
the webinars. We have created the flyers,
[00:24:31.430]
we have created
[00:24:33.459]
the resource guide, all that good stuff.
[00:24:35.618]
Anything you can imagine, support and training
[00:24:37.880]
wise we have on our support site which
[00:24:40.039]
is support.gale.com. So if you
[00:24:42.118]
are planning on getting this information out to your learning
[00:24:44.269]
community, I suggest taking a look. So you don't
[00:24:46.449]
have to reinvent the wheel. We've got some great
[00:24:48.500]
content built out for you that you can forward along.
[00:24:52.140]

[00:24:54.299]

[00:24:56.368]
