[00:00:07.320]
Hello, everyone and welcome

[00:00:09.689]
to today's training session. I'm exploring

[00:00:12.500]
the recent enhancements to Gale's

[00:00:14.659]
Literature Resource Center which

[00:00:16.870]
um include our primary source and historical

[00:00:19.260]
document sets. Um Welcome. My name

[00:00:21.370]
is Hannah Rausch and I am your new trainer

[00:00:23.949]
um for NC live from Gale. And

[00:00:26.208]
today we're gonna have um I scheduled an hour.

[00:00:28.469]
I don't think it's gonna take us all of that time.

[00:00:30.629]
So hopefully I can give you some time back to enjoy your

[00:00:32.798]
day and your work day.

[00:00:34.168]
Um But if you have any questions, please

[00:00:36.200]
feel free as we go through today's training session

[00:00:38.990]
to put those in the Q and A box at

[00:00:41.130]
the bottom of your screen and I will answer those

[00:00:43.439]
as we go.

[00:00:45.918]
And today, yes, we will.

[00:00:48.319]
Um I will be recording the session

[00:00:50.618]
and sending it out. Everyone that

[00:00:52.728]
is registered will automatically receive

[00:00:55.340]
a copy of the recording tomorrow

[00:00:58.139]
and I will also post the recording

[00:01:00.310]
on your NC live report um support

[00:01:02.408]
site. So yes, you will absolutely be able

[00:01:04.540]
to watch the recording afterwards if you need to hop

[00:01:06.659]
off a little bit early.

[00:01:09.659]
So just a quick agenda of what

[00:01:11.680]
we are going to be covering today.

[00:01:14.579]
First, we're going to kind of overview the document

[00:01:17.028]
sets and what exactly that means as

[00:01:19.168]
an enhancement to your Literature resource

[00:01:21.290]
center. Um Taking a look at these

[00:01:23.849]
um newly curated, you know, using

[00:01:26.010]
the primary sources that we know and love that

[00:01:28.069]
have always been in literature resource center.

[00:01:30.569]
But really looking at how they have been curated

[00:01:33.043]
to support um different works

[00:01:35.364]
and different authors to support

[00:01:37.484]
um instructors and instructing their students

[00:01:39.974]
and kind of adding more context to literary

[00:01:42.415]
works, whether that be novels,

[00:01:44.605]
short stories plays

[00:01:46.805]
um lots of different types of literature.

[00:01:49.730]
So we're gonna look take a look at those document

[00:01:51.760]
sets to kind of understand what those mean

[00:01:53.980]
and how they're structured. And then I want

[00:01:55.989]
to spend most of our time actually in the product today

[00:01:58.239]
exploring those materials and

[00:02:00.278]
how they could be used um to support

[00:02:02.439]
again your instruction and the learning of students

[00:02:05.359]
and really show you kind of some of the different document

[00:02:07.819]
types that we have. Some of them are really, really interesting.

[00:02:10.639]
I kind of fell into a rabbit hole when we first

[00:02:13.354]
these document sets of exploring

[00:02:15.675]
all the the unique primary sources

[00:02:17.985]
used to support these literary works.

[00:02:20.683]
And then at the time at the end, we'll have some time

[00:02:22.963]
for questions and to review your support

[00:02:25.274]
site. But again, if you have questions, please throw them

[00:02:27.395]
in the Q and A box at the bottom of your screen

[00:02:29.413]
as we go, I'd hate for you to forget those

[00:02:31.425]
questions by the time we get to the end of the session.

[00:02:33.743]
So please feel free to throw those out as

[00:02:35.824]
we go.

[00:02:38.149]
So this is a session designed

[00:02:40.338]
really around those primary

[00:02:42.500]
source updates and those historical document

[00:02:44.800]
sets. But I did just want to review

[00:02:47.069]
Gael Literature Resource Center as a little

[00:02:49.300]
bit of a refresher in case you haven't really

[00:02:51.349]
used LRC before.

[00:02:54.949]
So, first and foremost, it's a really excellent

[00:02:57.229]
place to explore works, authors

[00:02:59.490]
and topics and we're talking

[00:03:01.500]
about extensive coverage of works

[00:03:03.770]
and authors from all different genres, movements

[00:03:06.419]
and times. Um You can browse

[00:03:08.490]
key topic areas within the resource,

[00:03:10.629]
including things like children's literature,

[00:03:12.963]
cultural identity, censorship,

[00:03:15.034]
and so much more. So this is really

[00:03:17.264]
an extensive um resource

[00:03:20.175]
to explore all different parts of literature

[00:03:23.014]
um and support the teaching

[00:03:25.304]
of different literary works.

[00:03:28.240]
And we do that by including different document

[00:03:30.969]
types. So here you're gonna find biographies

[00:03:33.710]
of some of your favorites um

[00:03:35.960]
authors and even more than authors.

[00:03:38.338]
We're talking about people who are influential

[00:03:40.419]
in different literary movements as

[00:03:42.558]
well.

[00:03:43.429]
Um Work overviews for all of the different

[00:03:45.960]
um literary works that we focus on again

[00:03:48.088]
from short stories and plays and novels

[00:03:50.270]
and so forth,

[00:03:51.500]
literary criticisms,

[00:03:53.740]
those primary sources that I mentioned

[00:03:56.129]
and different literary works. There are lots

[00:03:58.288]
of different full text um

[00:04:01.449]
literary works available here

[00:04:03.669]
within Gale Literature resource center,

[00:04:06.080]
so you can read the full work of,

[00:04:08.360]
you know, some of these different pieces without

[00:04:10.520]
ever having to leave Gale. Um You

[00:04:12.580]
can see on my screen right here, Frankenstein is one

[00:04:14.669]
of those that you have the full work available

[00:04:16.920]
to you. So students don't need to have

[00:04:19.189]
a physical copy of that.

[00:04:20.869]
They can read it right here in Gale

[00:04:23.069]
and also news and magazines.

[00:04:25.428]
So it's really a well rounded resource

[00:04:27.889]
giving you lots of different document types

[00:04:30.139]
around those different pieces of literature.

[00:04:32.619]
Again, to just pro provide more

[00:04:34.678]
context um around

[00:04:36.798]
the author, the historical context

[00:04:39.290]
in which it was written and so forth.

[00:04:43.160]
And then of course, scale is known for our simple

[00:04:45.389]
research tools. Those include the ability

[00:04:47.639]
to add highlights and notes to

[00:04:49.798]
annotate documents that you find

[00:04:51.910]
here within the resource. So for

[00:04:53.988]
example, if you're looking at one of our awesome

[00:04:56.059]
literary criticisms, instructors

[00:04:58.730]
or students both can go in add

[00:05:00.889]
their own highlights, their notes, their annotations

[00:05:03.595]
and export them to either Google

[00:05:05.903]
or Microsoft really easily and

[00:05:08.125]
be able to go back and view those highlights again

[00:05:10.394]
and again, this is great for just

[00:05:12.444]
diving really deep into a piece of literature

[00:05:14.863]
or preparing for um a

[00:05:16.884]
research paper or some kind of project

[00:05:19.394]
or an assignment for a course um

[00:05:21.434]
where you're really analyzing a piece of text.

[00:05:24.980]
We also have the topic finder tool, which

[00:05:27.209]
I will be showing you here today in our session.

[00:05:29.548]
It is a fan favorite.

[00:05:31.449]
Um Every document that you open

[00:05:33.699]
in Gale Literature Resource Center has a source

[00:05:35.910]
citation at the bottom which is nice.

[00:05:39.980]
And then we also have the ability to translate

[00:05:42.769]
and manipulate the text. So you

[00:05:44.809]
can translate our content into over

[00:05:47.160]
50 different languages, which is really nice.

[00:05:49.970]
Um And you can also increase

[00:05:52.250]
and you know, reduce the font size

[00:05:54.439]
um which is good for our visually impaired

[00:05:56.540]
students. Um or just someone who likes

[00:05:58.579]
to read the text a little bit bigger.

[00:06:00.639]
So lots of different tools and features

[00:06:02.889]
here with Gill that I just wanted to review

[00:06:05.139]
before we go into these enhancements,

[00:06:07.428]
which is really what today is all about.

[00:06:12.338]
So these primary source and historical

[00:06:14.798]
document sets

[00:06:17.040]
are a collection of materials that have

[00:06:19.108]
really been created and curated to

[00:06:21.269]
support a deeper understanding

[00:06:23.439]
of a designated work. So

[00:06:25.928]
we're, we're looking at these, you know, famous

[00:06:28.290]
parts, um these famous pieces

[00:06:30.309]
of literature and providing primary

[00:06:32.730]
sources to support those, those can be everything

[00:06:35.269]
from audio files. Um Those

[00:06:37.420]
include things like interviews with the authors

[00:06:39.858]
or maybe interviews um of

[00:06:42.420]
actors who have been, you know, cast

[00:06:44.660]
to um to, to appear in one

[00:06:46.819]
of these, you know, film adaptations

[00:06:49.100]
of a novel, um different photos,

[00:06:52.269]
sometimes, you know,

[00:06:54.129]
a literary work will pull

[00:06:56.209]
their inspiration from another

[00:06:58.480]
source. So sometimes here

[00:07:00.519]
like in this story, um this collection

[00:07:02.639]
of poems, how we have an example

[00:07:04.858]
of, you know, a piece from Walt Whitman

[00:07:07.319]
that they have pulled in.

[00:07:09.088]
And here we have, you know, uh an author

[00:07:11.519]
here reading um selected

[00:07:14.100]
poems from the, from

[00:07:16.298]
the text. So these are, are really

[00:07:18.470]
kind of a varied set of primary

[00:07:20.838]
sources and they are different depending on

[00:07:23.608]
um the novel or piece that you're exploring.

[00:07:33.319]
Um We currently have um 100

[00:07:35.389]
curated sets. So,

[00:07:37.399]
actually in the chat right now,

[00:07:39.838]
I am going to

[00:07:42.778]
see if I can post this to everyone.

[00:07:45.199]
I am going to upload a

[00:07:47.220]
file here that has

[00:07:49.309]
a list of all of the different

[00:07:51.809]
work title lists. So

[00:07:54.069]
you'll notice that some of these are

[00:07:56.369]
um in a bold face font

[00:07:59.048]
um indicating that they would be published

[00:08:01.069]
by a certain date. But now we have completed

[00:08:03.750]
um this integration and uploaded

[00:08:05.778]
all of these document sets now.

[00:08:08.028]
So everything um every title on

[00:08:10.178]
that list, it now has a curated

[00:08:12.899]
document set available. So

[00:08:14.980]
I wanted to be sure you all have access to that.

[00:08:17.278]
I'll also um include

[00:08:19.358]
that document in the follow

[00:08:21.480]
up email that you'll receive automatically after

[00:08:23.579]
today's webinar.

[00:08:27.358]
Now, these curated sets include titles

[00:08:29.730]
like the Yellow Wallpaper, which we're going to explore

[00:08:32.149]
today. Brave new world, the Crucible,

[00:08:34.308]
the hate you give Hamlet. I know why

[00:08:36.349]
the Caged Bird Sings. These are just

[00:08:38.440]
a few of kind of the top hits. Um

[00:08:41.379]
I wanted to show that we really have

[00:08:43.408]
everything from the the classics

[00:08:46.099]
up to more modern day with titles

[00:08:48.109]
like the hate you give. So they really

[00:08:50.119]
span genres and time

[00:08:52.250]
periods and, and all of those good things.

[00:08:54.359]
And this is a constantly growing set.

[00:08:57.129]
Um We started with 100 but this

[00:08:59.308]
is anticipated to grow and,

[00:09:01.340]
and grow, especially since these have been

[00:09:03.450]
really well received so far.

[00:09:06.808]
Now, these document sets have been curated

[00:09:09.239]
from different creators from

[00:09:11.320]
across the country and around the world.

[00:09:14.168]
So, you know, these sets really focus

[00:09:16.580]
on DE I and international authors

[00:09:18.779]
with over half the collection focusing

[00:09:21.210]
on that population.

[00:09:22.820]
And these creators, like I said, they're from

[00:09:25.058]
the country and from around the world countries

[00:09:27.460]
like the UK, Canada, Mexico,

[00:09:29.899]
India, um Iran,

[00:09:31.969]
Egypt, Serbia, Japan, Norway

[00:09:34.219]
and Spain. And that's just including what we

[00:09:36.298]
have so far. So we're really getting international

[00:09:39.144]
perspective, international input um

[00:09:41.173]
with the creation of these document

[00:09:43.705]
sets. And again, just from, you know,

[00:09:45.734]
leaders in the literary community,

[00:09:47.984]
professors at different colleges, um

[00:09:50.085]
authors, specialists in these

[00:09:52.094]
different literary topics.

[00:09:56.239]
So let's explore, like I said, I wanna spend

[00:09:58.418]
most of today's session actually in the product

[00:10:00.700]
exploring.

[00:10:03.570]
So when you log into Literature

[00:10:05.820]
Resource center, this is what your screen

[00:10:08.239]
is going to look like.

[00:10:12.739]
Now I mentioned our integration with Google

[00:10:14.869]
and Microsoft. So you always want to be sure

[00:10:17.048]
when you are logging in that you

[00:10:19.080]
are logging in right up here at the top.

[00:10:22.178]
I'm gonna sign in with Google for today's session.

[00:10:26.349]
Remember that we don't save any of your user

[00:10:28.479]
data here at Gil. So even though you're signing

[00:10:30.678]
in, we can't see your messages, we can't see your emails, we

[00:10:32.759]
can't see anything like that.

[00:10:34.359]
This just allows you when you find something

[00:10:36.509]
that you really enjoy, especially something that you've

[00:10:38.769]
annotated and made highlights and notes

[00:10:40.940]
on that you can export it and access

[00:10:42.969]
it later on.

[00:10:47.298]
So you have our basic and our advanced search

[00:10:49.609]
up here at the top.

[00:10:51.830]
The ability to browse topics, browse

[00:10:54.129]
people, browse works and you can

[00:10:56.139]
view our full title list.

[00:10:59.479]
We have some featured works here in the

[00:11:01.548]
center of the page. Also with the ability

[00:11:03.710]
to browse all of our work pages.

[00:11:08.798]
We have some featured topics as

[00:11:10.830]
well. You

[00:11:13.418]
can see now we're focusing on Native American

[00:11:15.960]
literature, nonsense versus graphic

[00:11:18.038]
novels.

[00:11:19.969]
And here at the bottom, we have a couple of different search

[00:11:22.099]
tools which I will be showing you. Topic

[00:11:24.219]
finder was added maybe about a

[00:11:26.229]
year and a half ago now. But in case you haven't

[00:11:28.239]
explored that, I wanted to show

[00:11:30.308]
you how you can start a search with that topic finder.

[00:11:35.000]
But we are gonna start here just by clicking

[00:11:37.109]
on one of these basic works works. I mentioned

[00:11:39.428]
Frankenstein and it's one of the most

[00:11:41.609]
frequently studied novels at the high

[00:11:43.649]
school and collegiate level.

[00:11:45.889]
And we're coming up on Halloween, what a perfect

[00:11:48.038]
time um in the season to

[00:11:50.070]
read Frankenstein.

[00:11:53.359]
So when we uh visit a works page

[00:11:55.629]
here on Gael Literature Resource Center,

[00:11:57.950]
you get a nice overview of

[00:11:59.989]
the work you have the author,

[00:12:02.029]
the date it was originally published in

[00:12:04.200]
the genre. Here, we have um

[00:12:06.288]
some related topics, the gothic,

[00:12:08.428]
gothic novel, um the

[00:12:10.519]
double in 19th century literature.

[00:12:14.229]
And then you can choose to read a full overview

[00:12:16.940]
of the text.

[00:12:19.479]
Now, what we're focusing on here today is

[00:12:21.899]
right here, these primary source

[00:12:24.080]
and historical documents. This is

[00:12:26.210]
what has been recently added. This is our new

[00:12:28.389]
feature where those curated

[00:12:30.489]
document sets that I mentioned. This is where

[00:12:32.548]
they are housed. So in that list

[00:12:34.639]
of those 100 different um works that

[00:12:36.678]
I sent you. Um this is what you

[00:12:38.729]
will find on each of those work pages is

[00:12:40.879]
that primary source and historical document

[00:12:42.889]
set. So

[00:12:44.989]
I'm gonna click on eight documents

[00:12:47.129]
and you'll see it's gonna take me to this page

[00:12:49.460]
that houses all of those different

[00:12:51.570]
primary sources.

[00:12:53.840]
Frankenstein is one of the works that we

[00:12:55.869]
have the full text of.

[00:12:58.038]
So if you want to read the entire

[00:13:00.450]
work here,

[00:13:04.849]
you'll see your students can read the entirety

[00:13:07.700]
of Frankenstein here within Gale.

[00:13:11.908]
My only piece of advice here is that it's not

[00:13:14.019]
your typical kind of ebook platform.

[00:13:16.469]
So if you're reading or if students are

[00:13:18.580]
reading, they will need to make a note of what page they

[00:13:20.719]
end on so that they can go back

[00:13:23.058]
in and skip ahead to that page number

[00:13:25.750]
in their next visit.

[00:13:31.649]
But back on the main page with our primary

[00:13:34.229]
sources here,

[00:13:35.629]
you'll see below. They're divided into different

[00:13:37.889]
sections. So there are really a lot

[00:13:40.269]
of multimedia files here focusing

[00:13:42.320]
on Frankenstein.

[00:13:45.349]
You can see here, there is a lithograph.

[00:13:51.690]
We have a little bit of information here providing

[00:13:54.119]
some context to this image and how it

[00:13:56.178]
relates to the work.

[00:14:00.548]
There is a full video here

[00:14:02.639]
of the first Frankenstein film

[00:14:04.798]
originally um

[00:14:07.029]
performed in 1910.

[00:14:09.239]
And again, your students can watch it here

[00:14:11.399]
without ever having to leave the gale platform.

[00:14:15.769]
And one thing I love about our videos

[00:14:17.969]
is that we have the closed captioning, you can make this

[00:14:20.048]
full screen,

[00:14:21.849]
this is sponsored from the Library of Congress.

[00:14:27.229]
Again here, I'll skip ahead so your students

[00:14:29.259]
can watch the entire first

[00:14:31.440]
film. So

[00:14:39.840]
I mentioned that these document sets are just

[00:14:42.109]
really varied in the type of document

[00:14:44.359]
that you're going to get. And that's a great example.

[00:14:47.558]
Um There's an image from the first film.

[00:14:50.599]
Um some discussion of Frankenstein on

[00:14:52.739]
stage with a video, I'm really

[00:14:54.849]
focusing on that theatrical adaptation.

[00:14:57.729]
So if you want to compare a few different formats

[00:15:00.479]
of the same story, you have the full

[00:15:02.668]
text novel here, you have a copy of the

[00:15:04.739]
first film and then you have an excerpt

[00:15:07.168]
of Frankenstein performed on the

[00:15:09.190]
stage, adapted to a screenplay here.

[00:15:12.080]
Um Frankenstein in the comics to really

[00:15:14.428]
um further that

[00:15:16.219]
and then we have a photo from the second

[00:15:18.369]
Frankenstein film from 1935.

[00:15:22.779]
We also have a couple of different um documents

[00:15:25.428]
down here below. Um We have

[00:15:27.639]
um an excerpt here from Paradise

[00:15:30.090]
Lost from John Milton.

[00:15:32.330]
And again, I mentioned kind of making those

[00:15:34.408]
connections um between different

[00:15:36.580]
literary works when you're kind of drawing influence

[00:15:38.928]
from one.

[00:15:40.469]
So we have some information here from that poem,

[00:15:44.168]
an excerpt of a review

[00:15:46.399]
from Frankenstein. And

[00:15:48.500]
then you can see down here at the bottom who

[00:15:50.788]
this um

[00:15:52.149]
this document that was curated by.

[00:15:54.658]
Um So this is a research professor

[00:15:57.250]
at Auburn University

[00:15:59.109]
and he is the one who has curated

[00:16:01.330]
um this primary source and historical document

[00:16:03.779]
set. So

[00:16:09.649]
I discovered Frankenstein back on

[00:16:11.739]
this main page just by clicking

[00:16:13.788]
on this featured work. But you can

[00:16:15.820]
also browse all of the work

[00:16:18.009]
pages that we have available

[00:16:20.038]
here and you'll notice

[00:16:22.469]
like I said before, some of these titles are

[00:16:24.479]
more modern, while some are certainly more

[00:16:26.649]
classic,

[00:16:29.690]
really focusing on commonly

[00:16:31.950]
taught popular pieces of

[00:16:34.219]
literature.

[00:16:40.048]
So I'm gonna click here into the

[00:16:42.119]
page on The Crucible,

[00:16:46.389]
a play written by Arthur Arthur Miller.

[00:16:50.759]
And you can see just like that page that I accessed

[00:16:53.119]
on Frankenstein. I still

[00:16:55.418]
have my overview, some information

[00:16:57.940]
here about the play and related

[00:17:00.000]
topic, topics. Here. We have

[00:17:02.178]
American political drama, mccarthyism

[00:17:04.640]
and literature, witchcraft. Really

[00:17:07.108]
interesting page here on the

[00:17:09.170]
Crucible. And again, this is one

[00:17:11.328]
that we have the full text available of the work.

[00:17:13.880]
So you can read the entire play here

[00:17:16.358]
without ever leaving Gale.

[00:17:20.059]
And here below again, is that historical

[00:17:22.549]
source and um primary source

[00:17:24.699]
and historical document set.

[00:17:26.779]
This one contains five documents

[00:17:28.939]
and you'll notice that usually these range from

[00:17:30.979]
about 3 to 12 documents

[00:17:33.078]
in these sets

[00:17:36.660]
here. Again, we have some multimedia. So we

[00:17:38.689]
have the trailer for the film adaptation.

[00:17:41.348]
And then this is interesting. This is a conversation

[00:17:44.289]
between um Daniel Day Lewis

[00:17:46.880]
who was cast as John Proctor

[00:17:49.140]
in the film adaptation of this play.

[00:17:51.689]
And it's a conversation between him and

[00:17:53.868]
the author Arthur Miller. So

[00:17:56.150]
they're really discussing this role and

[00:17:58.489]
you know how Daniel Day Lewis kind of

[00:18:00.588]
became this character and where he

[00:18:02.650]
kind of sought inspiration. So this

[00:18:04.759]
is a really nice video to view

[00:18:08.618]
and then we have some articles here why

[00:18:11.009]
I wrote the Crucible

[00:18:13.489]
um a petition. This one is really interesting.

[00:18:16.328]
It's Miller's testimony

[00:18:18.608]
with the House Un American Activities

[00:18:20.880]
Committee.

[00:18:26.559]
So here he was being interviewed for,

[00:18:28.630]
you know, meeting with um different

[00:18:30.809]
communist writers.

[00:18:34.009]
And what I love is because it's in this,

[00:18:36.039]
this scale platform

[00:18:38.209]
I can read through the entire interview

[00:18:40.328]
here and I can also see the original

[00:18:42.739]
source content. And this is something

[00:18:44.910]
that I think they did a really, really nice

[00:18:46.920]
job of when curating these sets

[00:18:49.199]
is that I can view the full text here, but

[00:18:51.269]
I can also view the original document

[00:18:54.150]
the PDF from which this was

[00:18:56.358]
scanned in from.

[00:18:58.949]
So you have a couple of different options here

[00:19:01.059]
when viewing these primary sources.

[00:19:07.150]
Now, just as a refresher, you have those awesome

[00:19:09.390]
tools built in here in the Gale

[00:19:11.479]
Literature resource platform.

[00:19:14.759]
You have the option to translate into

[00:19:16.799]
over 50 different languages

[00:19:19.039]
and we just added a few new ones

[00:19:21.108]
this year including

[00:19:23.469]
um Ukrainian.

[00:19:26.410]
So you can translate content here.

[00:19:28.848]
Now, I have this, this

[00:19:31.039]
um House Un American Activities

[00:19:33.199]
Committee transcript, but it

[00:19:35.279]
has been um translated

[00:19:37.640]
into Ukrainian. So that's great for

[00:19:39.719]
our English language learners students.

[00:19:45.229]
They can decrease the font size,

[00:19:48.539]
increase the font size

[00:19:51.358]
until they find um a place

[00:19:53.469]
that works best for them visually.

[00:19:58.630]
And then there are some options in terms

[00:20:00.949]
of adjusting the background, caller, the

[00:20:03.098]
font. We have the open dyslexic font

[00:20:05.500]
um which a lot of, a lot of learners

[00:20:07.519]
really find useful.

[00:20:09.299]
You can adjust your line letter and word spacing

[00:20:12.118]
and once you make these adjustments on

[00:20:14.219]
your device, they will say with

[00:20:16.299]
your cookie settings. So if you're

[00:20:18.509]
really researching and diving deep into

[00:20:20.618]
lots of different document types here in Gill,

[00:20:22.779]
you don't have to keep adjusting the font in the

[00:20:24.789]
background that will stay during your session.

[00:20:27.219]
Um The only thing you will have to do is

[00:20:29.348]
is ret translate. So the settings say

[00:20:31.598]
which is really, really nice.

[00:20:36.890]
And then because this is one of the languages

[00:20:39.150]
that we also read aloud in,

[00:20:42.420]
you can have this content read aloud

[00:20:44.598]
to you in the language that it's translated

[00:20:46.750]
to. And that's the case for 30

[00:20:48.910]
different languages. So I wanted you to hear what

[00:20:50.939]
this sounds like

[00:20:58.900]
was. So you can have

[00:21:01.229]
this content read aloud to you in your native

[00:21:03.509]
language. That's the case with 30 different

[00:21:05.630]
languages that we translate into. I can send

[00:21:07.709]
you a list of those if you're interested. Um

[00:21:09.818]
But just a really nice accessibility

[00:21:11.880]
feature that we offer.

[00:21:15.098]
And of course, at any time, you can go back to

[00:21:17.150]
your original language.

[00:21:23.779]
And then my favorite tool really, I taught

[00:21:26.088]
eighth grade English before I joined the Gael team

[00:21:28.348]
a few years ago. And one of my

[00:21:30.439]
favorite skills to teach was annotation. Really

[00:21:32.618]
that meta cognitive skill of having

[00:21:34.930]
students, you know, think about what

[00:21:37.009]
they are, are reading

[00:21:39.959]
and the ability to do that so quickly

[00:21:42.489]
with Gale is really nice. So all

[00:21:44.630]
you have to do to add a highlighter. A note

[00:21:46.729]
is select the text,

[00:21:48.719]
choose the color of your choice

[00:21:51.108]
and then make notes as you deem

[00:21:53.420]
fit and you can add as many of

[00:21:55.469]
these as you like in a text,

[00:21:58.578]
you have the six different colors to choose

[00:22:00.608]
from. And

[00:22:04.769]
as I'm going, you may notice that

[00:22:07.108]
up here in the top right hand corner,

[00:22:09.769]
there is the number is changing next

[00:22:12.059]
to this highlights and notes option.

[00:22:16.219]
So again, I can add as many of these

[00:22:18.229]
as I want. And then once

[00:22:20.259]
I save these,

[00:22:22.469]
I already signed into Google at the beginning

[00:22:24.539]
of the session, so I can send these

[00:22:26.670]
to my Google Drive.

[00:22:29.858]
And now when I visit drive.google.com,

[00:22:32.848]
I'm gonna have a copy of

[00:22:35.189]
that document that I just interacted

[00:22:37.328]
with. Here's that excerpt from Arthur

[00:22:39.650]
Miller

[00:22:44.469]
and my piece here is going to include all

[00:22:46.709]
of the highlights that I made

[00:22:48.640]
and then all of the notes are gonna be

[00:22:50.769]
at the very bottom of

[00:22:52.880]
the page.

[00:22:57.049]
So I like to describe this as kind of that

[00:22:59.078]
digital version of the old school

[00:23:01.328]
research note cards that we had to make, you know, where

[00:23:03.598]
you, you know, on one side had your source

[00:23:05.858]
citation. On the other side, you kind of

[00:23:07.930]
made your notes of what you wanted to paraphrase

[00:23:10.328]
and quote and, and cite

[00:23:12.489]
in your, in your research. But

[00:23:14.578]
this kind of takes out that that written aspect

[00:23:16.959]
of it and you have the option to do it digitally if

[00:23:19.068]
you like.

[00:23:22.279]
And once this saves to your Google

[00:23:24.390]
Drive, you can of course access it as

[00:23:26.640]
many times as you like. And if you kind of forget,

[00:23:29.160]
like I know that I was sometimes guilty

[00:23:31.239]
of, you know, maybe making

[00:23:33.318]
some highlights and notes and not really remembering

[00:23:35.719]
the context, you can always go back

[00:23:38.039]
to the original source text

[00:23:40.479]
from this page.

[00:23:46.689]
So I'm gonna hop back here to

[00:23:48.719]
um my page.

[00:23:52.828]
Go back to the main page and I explored, remember

[00:23:55.098]
Frankenstein here just from these featured

[00:23:57.229]
works. And then I went into browse

[00:23:59.430]
works and kind of scroll down until I found

[00:24:01.750]
that title of The Crucible. But

[00:24:04.059]
you can always hop in and use

[00:24:06.088]
this um basic search bar.

[00:24:09.430]
So let's say I am teaching

[00:24:11.479]
the yellow wallpaper

[00:24:14.078]
and you'll notice this was recently updated

[00:24:16.150]
just about a week and a half ago. Actually,

[00:24:18.309]
it used to be when you would type in a search

[00:24:20.479]
term in Gale, you would get um

[00:24:22.828]
a bold face font

[00:24:24.809]
and that meant that we had kind of a page curated

[00:24:27.309]
for that subject. But now you'll see

[00:24:29.549]
it shows up here with a cover and it

[00:24:31.568]
will say we have a work guide available.

[00:24:33.630]
So that is a new update. Um Now

[00:24:35.750]
we used to be famous for saying boldest gold

[00:24:38.229]
not anymore. Now you can just see

[00:24:40.348]
right here in your drop down search collection, what

[00:24:42.500]
we have available.

[00:24:44.279]
So I'm gonna click here on the work guide for the Yellow

[00:24:46.368]
wallpaper.

[00:24:48.709]
Very popular short story.

[00:24:51.670]
Again, this is one that we have the full work

[00:24:53.750]
available of. So you could choose to read the entire

[00:24:56.039]
work here in Gale.

[00:24:58.989]
We have some related subjects over

[00:25:01.209]
here on the side,

[00:25:05.358]
our overview and then our primary

[00:25:07.959]
and historical source documents. There are six

[00:25:10.259]
of them in this collection.

[00:25:13.189]
OK. We have a few multimedia. So we have

[00:25:15.289]
the BB C's film adaptation of

[00:25:17.430]
the Yellow wallpaper and also

[00:25:19.660]
the soundtrack from the Yellow wallpaper.

[00:25:22.338]
And what you'll notice with these two

[00:25:24.459]
is that sometimes they will link to outside

[00:25:27.019]
resources. So for example, this audio

[00:25:29.358]
file here

[00:25:30.880]
when I select play audio,

[00:25:32.900]
it's gonna take me to a website outside

[00:25:35.039]
of gale. Now these are, you know, vetted

[00:25:37.239]
trustworthy websites that we're linking

[00:25:39.420]
to and here you

[00:25:41.500]
can listen to the soundtrack from

[00:25:43.920]
the film.

[00:25:55.059]
So sometimes you will get an external

[00:25:57.219]
link just to be made aware

[00:25:59.289]
of that.

[00:26:03.900]
And down here, we have a few more

[00:26:06.170]
articles again, just kind of in this

[00:26:08.559]
curation of the set. We have the

[00:26:10.618]
first magazine publication

[00:26:12.650]
of the yellow wallpaper.

[00:26:15.838]
And remember when it's in its full text version,

[00:26:18.199]
you, you'll see it here,

[00:26:21.459]
which means you have all of the to the

[00:26:23.650]
tools available that I just showed you, you'll

[00:26:25.828]
have the option to translate

[00:26:27.989]
to make highlights and notes and annotations

[00:26:30.358]
and export to your Google Drive.

[00:26:33.660]
And then you can always switch to the original

[00:26:36.289]
document PDF,

[00:26:40.868]
which is what you see here. This is how it originally

[00:26:43.739]
appeared

[00:26:45.250]
when first published.

[00:26:48.269]
So I think it's really nice to be able to toggle in between

[00:26:50.598]
those to see that original primary source

[00:26:52.939]
in its original format as it was intended

[00:26:55.098]
to be read and then be able to read it in the

[00:26:57.180]
full text version with all of those different tools

[00:26:59.250]
available.

[00:27:02.029]
Now, one of my favorites, this is, you know, this

[00:27:04.199]
is from 19 or 1890.

[00:27:06.420]
Um my apologies when um they

[00:27:08.699]
were first trying to find a publisher for the yellow

[00:27:10.750]
wallpaper and this is a rejection letter

[00:27:12.779]
that was received. Um You

[00:27:14.939]
can view the original document here.

[00:27:17.868]
I found this a little difficult to read, but it's

[00:27:20.019]
very short and very to the point.

[00:27:22.250]
Um This publisher simply says

[00:27:24.750]
I could not forgive myself if I made others

[00:27:27.098]
as miserable as I have made myself.

[00:27:29.108]
In other words, no, I have no desire in publishing

[00:27:31.439]
this story, which is now one of the most

[00:27:33.598]
commonly taught short stories. So

[00:27:35.799]
they really missed out there. But yeah,

[00:27:38.000]
some of these are, are, you know, just

[00:27:40.259]
add, I think um some

[00:27:42.328]
historical context, how was this piece

[00:27:44.358]
originally perceived

[00:27:46.459]
and accepted by people when it was trying

[00:27:48.680]
to be published? What was the original perception we

[00:27:50.699]
know how we teach it, um how

[00:27:53.059]
we teach it now and how it's received by students?

[00:27:55.439]
But how was it originally in 1890

[00:27:58.529]
kind of accepted. So I, I love

[00:28:00.858]
these, these rejection letters and kind of the communication

[00:28:03.809]
around the original publication

[00:28:06.209]
of a literary piece.

[00:28:08.868]
Now, I did want to show you something else because, you

[00:28:10.959]
know, I made highlights and notes on one

[00:28:12.969]
document

[00:28:14.049]
and it to view those in Google Drive, I

[00:28:16.068]
really had to scroll through. I think it was nine

[00:28:18.420]
pages long, which can

[00:28:20.479]
become a lot if you're interacting

[00:28:22.739]
and researching with a bunch of different pieces.

[00:28:26.439]
So I could maybe let's say that I wanted to

[00:28:28.469]
include this. I can highlight this, make

[00:28:30.930]
a note.

[00:28:33.949]
Now, when I go to this highlights and notes

[00:28:36.000]
icon which follows me around throughout

[00:28:38.140]
my search session, you'll see

[00:28:40.209]
it has a one next to it even though I already

[00:28:42.380]
made like eight highlights before

[00:28:44.469]
I think. So I can click

[00:28:46.519]
here

[00:28:47.939]
and view all of my highlights and notes.

[00:28:50.209]
And this is going to take me to all of my

[00:28:52.250]
highlights and notes throughout this search

[00:28:54.400]
session. So you'll see the ones I made

[00:28:56.709]
on that previous document,

[00:28:58.739]
the ones I just made on that document

[00:29:00.759]
I had opened and the bibliography

[00:29:02.900]
which it really creates for you, you can see

[00:29:05.144]
it's an alphabetical order with that hanging

[00:29:07.344]
in debt, which is a really nice feature

[00:29:10.005]
for students.

[00:29:11.213]
And we've seen a lot of instructors sharing

[00:29:13.255]
with us lately. I know artificial

[00:29:15.384]
intelligence has been a huge conversation

[00:29:17.765]
this back to school season

[00:29:19.650]
and we're seeing some instructors

[00:29:21.759]
that are trying to combat that use.

[00:29:24.118]
Um and really making sure that students are

[00:29:26.189]
doing their own individual research instead

[00:29:28.479]
of having, you know, so much generated by

[00:29:30.719]
artificial intelligence.

[00:29:32.608]
So we've seen that some instructors are combating

[00:29:34.739]
that by having students, they have to provide

[00:29:37.479]
um

[00:29:38.890]
their citations from a database.

[00:29:41.500]
So this is a great way to combat that A

[00:29:43.650]
I and have them, you know, you actually have

[00:29:45.699]
to provide a citation from a research

[00:29:48.118]
database. So we know where you're getting your sources

[00:29:50.199]
from. So that's one way we're seeing

[00:29:52.239]
that kind of push back against A I.

[00:29:55.250]
But now I see a question in the Q and A I wanna show

[00:29:57.380]
this really quickly first. So now

[00:29:59.390]
I have highlights and notes from a couple

[00:30:01.430]
of different documents.

[00:30:03.170]
So I'm gonna send this to my Google Drive

[00:30:05.269]
now. So

[00:30:08.799]
when I go to my page, you know, I have my

[00:30:10.920]
excerpt here

[00:30:12.969]
and now when I refresh, I'm also

[00:30:15.358]
going to have

[00:30:19.279]
mirror good in my folder here.

[00:30:21.900]
The first time that you um send a piece

[00:30:24.489]
from your from a resource

[00:30:27.209]
for. So the first time you share something from

[00:30:29.410]
Gill Literature resource Center will automatically

[00:30:31.838]
create a folder in your Google Drive.

[00:30:34.848]
So you can say I have my excerpt and now I just have highlighted

[00:30:37.358]
articles with today's date.

[00:30:39.608]
So now instead of having to scroll through

[00:30:42.098]
that nine pages of documents,

[00:30:44.680]
now, I just have my highlights and

[00:30:46.699]
notes

[00:30:47.680]
and they're divided by each document that

[00:30:49.699]
I interacted with. So I have my

[00:30:51.750]
excerpt here from um Arthur

[00:30:53.920]
Miller. I can click on this link. It will

[00:30:55.930]
take me back to that original source piece

[00:30:58.630]
and I have my highlights. Same here.

[00:31:00.943]
So throughout a search session, if a student

[00:31:03.203]
interacts with 10 different documents,

[00:31:05.834]
it makes highlights and annotations and

[00:31:07.875]
then sends those to their Google Drive. They'll

[00:31:10.025]
all be in one place with their bibliography

[00:31:12.755]
at the bottom.

[00:31:13.824]
So like I said, it's kind of a digital version of those

[00:31:16.045]
old school research note cards that we used to

[00:31:18.114]
use. Oh,

[00:31:22.019]
I just saw your question about an integration

[00:31:24.818]
with your canvas resources. Yes,

[00:31:27.189]
we do integrate with canvas. And

[00:31:29.670]
one of the nice things about that canvas integration

[00:31:32.160]
is that it can be integrated at like

[00:31:34.229]
the assignment level.

[00:31:35.680]
So you can um

[00:31:37.858]
add this as um a resource.

[00:31:40.509]
And when you're creating an assignment, you can click

[00:31:42.630]
the little plug in icon

[00:31:44.390]
and it will let you embed a gal

[00:31:46.539]
document into your assignment without students

[00:31:48.848]
ever having to leave canvas, you

[00:31:50.900]
can also link out to the resource there as

[00:31:52.979]
well. So if you

[00:31:55.318]
um will send me an email after this session

[00:31:57.650]
today, I can connect you with your

[00:32:00.000]
um with our gale technical support.

[00:32:02.118]
There's also their emails at the end of my slides.

[00:32:04.949]
Um But they're the ones that can set that up

[00:32:07.088]
for you, give you your key and your secret,

[00:32:09.279]
I believe for canvas and you can

[00:32:11.289]
integrate that. So yeah, it is a really nice

[00:32:13.479]
feature to be able to integrate. And I think

[00:32:15.759]
reduces the number of clicks for

[00:32:17.769]
students to have to access content.

[00:32:20.250]
I think they can also access it as

[00:32:22.618]
um a resource within. So kind

[00:32:24.969]
of works as like a single sign on type of thing. Too.

[00:32:29.519]
But if you wanna send me an email, um the

[00:32:31.959]
technical support is who you'll contact and

[00:32:33.989]
the email is at the end of my slides. But if

[00:32:36.318]
you send me an email, I can connect, I can make

[00:32:38.400]
that connection as well.

[00:32:43.578]
Ok. So hopping back to

[00:32:48.180]
my page here in Gale Literature Resource Center.

[00:32:50.380]
I just wanted to show you that being able

[00:32:52.479]
to click on the highlights and notes and just

[00:32:54.890]
um

[00:32:55.789]
send that to my Google drive to me

[00:32:57.900]
is a huge time saver. I may not

[00:32:59.969]
need that entire document and to scroll

[00:33:02.039]
through all of those, especially maybe if

[00:33:04.088]
you're students share those annotations

[00:33:06.130]
with you as an instructor, you don't want

[00:33:08.189]
to scroll through nine pages for every student.

[00:33:10.519]
So I like um that trick

[00:33:12.750]
um just in the highlights and notes, it's a big

[00:33:14.868]
time saver. And remember you can always

[00:33:17.170]
do that that this icon just

[00:33:19.239]
follows you around.

[00:33:21.469]
Also to speak to that canvas question.

[00:33:24.459]
If you're interested in sending

[00:33:26.769]
content to your learning management system,

[00:33:29.170]
whether you use canvas or school G or blackboard,

[00:33:31.670]
I know there's a ton of different options.

[00:33:33.890]
Um You can always use the get link tool

[00:33:35.920]
as well. And what this does

[00:33:37.979]
is generates a persistent URL

[00:33:40.189]
meaning it's never going to break. So

[00:33:42.209]
when sharing content from Gill, you never

[00:33:44.390]
want to copy and paste this um

[00:33:46.529]
link up here at the top

[00:33:48.039]
because we're so frequently adding content

[00:33:50.420]
that link is going to change.

[00:33:52.130]
Um But you can use the get link tool, post

[00:33:54.328]
it anywhere and it will take your students directly

[00:33:56.729]
to that page that you generated

[00:33:59.039]
it on. So let's

[00:34:01.170]
say that I'm back on this primary source

[00:34:03.358]
and historical document page and I'm reading

[00:34:05.719]
the yellow wallpaper with my students and

[00:34:07.789]
I want them to explore these primary source

[00:34:10.030]
documents. I can use the get link tool

[00:34:12.208]
on this page and when they access

[00:34:14.449]
that link, it will take them to this page

[00:34:16.619]
in this curated set of documents.

[00:34:23.938]
So I'm gonna go back to my yellow wallpaper

[00:34:25.958]
page.

[00:34:27.978]
And I do really like to point out these related

[00:34:30.010]
topics as well because we have these really

[00:34:32.269]
nice curated um source and

[00:34:34.320]
document sets. But you know, we

[00:34:36.418]
always want our students to explore a little

[00:34:38.449]
bit more and build out and research beyond

[00:34:40.719]
what they're given here. So an

[00:34:42.820]
interesting one that I found was

[00:34:44.969]
here, this madness in 19th century

[00:34:47.269]
literature kind of connecting this

[00:34:49.429]
novel to the broader kind of movement

[00:34:51.869]
that happened in the 19th century.

[00:34:55.119]
I can click here on this page

[00:34:58.500]
and you'll see, I'm getting literature criticisms,

[00:35:01.050]
biographies, topic, and work overviews

[00:35:03.728]
and there's also some additional primary sources.

[00:35:08.070]
So we have those nice curated sets, but you can

[00:35:10.188]
still pull in your own as well.

[00:35:14.000]
And I just found I found this one.

[00:35:16.070]
I kind of nerd it out. I thought this was totally interesting.

[00:35:18.869]
This is a patient cell of incarceration

[00:35:21.280]
and a Victorian lunatic asylum.

[00:35:24.030]
And it's pretty long

[00:35:26.500]
um but

[00:35:27.728]
kind and kind of an abstract too, but gives you

[00:35:29.809]
a nice overview. I, I found this

[00:35:31.849]
really, really interesting. So I love those

[00:35:34.090]
related,

[00:35:35.458]
do those related topics as well. So you can kind of go

[00:35:37.590]
down that rabbit hole of research

[00:35:39.728]
in a really nice way that is still

[00:35:41.750]
kind of curated and set

[00:35:43.849]
around your subject area.

[00:35:49.719]
So, uh just a couple other tools real quickly

[00:35:52.050]
that I wanted to show you um within

[00:35:54.340]
the last week and a half, we've also

[00:35:56.519]
added some updates to

[00:35:58.559]
our person and work search.

[00:36:00.760]
And these are mostly kind of visual

[00:36:02.800]
and to improve accessibility

[00:36:05.119]
a little bit.

[00:36:06.449]
But I wanted to show you those in the person

[00:36:08.769]
search if you have never used this tool.

[00:36:10.898]
Um This is, you know, a, a search

[00:36:13.530]
tool that we have that's in just a few of

[00:36:15.599]
our products, which is really interesting

[00:36:17.909]
when diving deeper into kind of different

[00:36:20.418]
um different people and different groups of people.

[00:36:24.260]
So you'll notice in the update here, we

[00:36:26.289]
now have a search tips, sidebar,

[00:36:29.289]
this is present in both the persons

[00:36:31.309]
and work search to kind of give you some tips

[00:36:33.429]
when searching. And we also have

[00:36:35.458]
the question mark here next to each of these

[00:36:37.599]
limiters.

[00:36:38.800]
So you really get a definition of what exactly

[00:36:41.139]
that means. So if you want to narrow

[00:36:43.168]
to a spe a specific ethnicity,

[00:36:45.969]
you'll see here, it limits your search to people

[00:36:48.159]
of a common descent or geographic region.

[00:36:51.119]
So, really kind of some scaffolds here within

[00:36:53.260]
the searching

[00:36:55.148]
to help you understand exactly what

[00:36:57.188]
limiters it is that you are applying.

[00:37:01.869]
And these are neat, especially if you have students

[00:37:04.059]
kind of diving into. Um

[00:37:06.418]
like I said, uh different kind of

[00:37:08.449]
ethnic groups, different, maybe different

[00:37:10.679]
poets from different ethnic groups or different

[00:37:12.840]
authors from certain states or geographic

[00:37:15.019]
locations.

[00:37:17.449]
So let's say I have my students, I'm

[00:37:19.639]
reading more about male

[00:37:22.418]
um

[00:37:24.389]
writers

[00:37:28.010]
in the. Um

[00:37:30.239]
let's say the genre here, maybe I'm, I'm

[00:37:32.309]
studying science fiction

[00:37:38.039]
and I kind of know which author I want to show you.

[00:37:40.059]
So I'm gonna type in randomly the state of Illinois

[00:37:43.019]
um and do a search. So now I'm limiting

[00:37:45.188]
my search results to a male

[00:37:47.550]
scientific science fiction writers

[00:37:49.679]
that were born in the state of Illinois.

[00:37:51.438]
And you can see here we have a page on

[00:37:53.539]
Ray Bradbury. So this is a nice

[00:37:55.679]
way to kind of backwards search.

[00:37:57.869]
Um But, you know, I, I kind

[00:37:59.989]
of knew I wanted to show you Ray Bradbury here.

[00:38:02.269]
But if you wanted to limit results, let's

[00:38:04.610]
say that you are looking

[00:38:07.119]
at

[00:38:09.449]
um let me kind of go back to this main page and start

[00:38:11.679]
over. I know it's popular to kind

[00:38:13.860]
of explore different authors from your state.

[00:38:16.360]
So you could even go, let's say you wanted

[00:38:18.489]
to explore um female

[00:38:22.539]
poets

[00:38:25.978]
that were born in

[00:38:28.769]
North Carolina.

[00:38:32.159]
You can do this and you're gonna get a much broader

[00:38:34.570]
list

[00:38:35.820]
here of female poets that were born

[00:38:38.329]
in the state of North Carolina. So this

[00:38:40.349]
is a nice way, a kind of a different way for

[00:38:42.429]
students to search and explore.

[00:38:45.409]
It works very similar. Going back to this main

[00:38:47.599]
page as the work search

[00:38:51.728]
here. It's just kind of adding that works

[00:38:54.559]
limiter in here as well.

[00:38:57.070]
And you can also add an author too.

[00:38:59.090]
But if you wanted it to be a little bit more, a little

[00:39:01.320]
bit more vague, if I'm just looking

[00:39:03.389]
for um maybe short

[00:39:05.500]
stories written by

[00:39:07.610]
um

[00:39:10.059]
African American females,

[00:39:14.739]
I can adjust my search and now I'm

[00:39:16.820]
not getting information about the person.

[00:39:19.039]
I'm getting information about different works

[00:39:21.250]
instead.

[00:39:22.860]
So different short stories here that were

[00:39:24.889]
published by African American

[00:39:27.530]
poets.

[00:39:33.398]
I'm sorry, not poets, just African American

[00:39:35.418]
females.

[00:39:40.458]
So certainly check out that person search

[00:39:42.539]
and work search. It's a really kind of unique way

[00:39:44.688]
to explore and, and browse

[00:39:47.010]
different genres and movements and ethnicities

[00:39:49.849]
and um different kind of writing fields

[00:39:52.320]
and things like that.

[00:39:55.489]
And then lastly the topic finder and

[00:39:57.599]
term frequency. So the topic finder,

[00:39:59.958]
like I said, they recently added this to the main

[00:40:02.119]
page. It's always kind of showed up under a fil

[00:40:04.280]
filtering options, but now you

[00:40:06.378]
can begin a search with the topic finder.

[00:40:11.219]
So when I click into the topic finder, this is a really

[00:40:13.510]
nice visual way to search.

[00:40:16.949]
And I'm going to search the word dystopia.

[00:40:19.458]
Dystopian literature is a favorite of mine.

[00:40:23.188]
So when I conduct my search, you can

[00:40:25.228]
see it gives me this visual

[00:40:27.260]
kind of search path here. And this is pulling

[00:40:29.688]
in all of the different document types that

[00:40:31.728]
we have in the Gale Literature Resource Center.

[00:40:34.019]
So you're getting those primary source documents,

[00:40:36.369]
you're getting literature criticism, you're getting

[00:40:38.579]
news and biographies, it's pulling

[00:40:40.699]
all of those different content types, which is

[00:40:42.829]
different than how it works under our filter.

[00:40:45.329]
You're really beginning your search here

[00:40:47.869]
and then you can dive into these different search

[00:40:50.869]
areas here. I like this, especially

[00:40:53.280]
for students who are maybe new to research

[00:40:55.510]
or struggling to kind of see connections

[00:40:58.239]
within their topic. This is

[00:41:00.300]
a really nice way to um

[00:41:02.800]
to search and explore and see

[00:41:04.889]
those connections between different topics.

[00:41:12.668]
And then also on that main page.

[00:41:15.250]
In addition to the topic finder, we have

[00:41:17.369]
this term frequency tool which

[00:41:19.559]
I think is really nice for for research.

[00:41:24.519]
So here you have the option to adjust

[00:41:26.708]
your date range. So if your students are looking

[00:41:29.139]
at literature published within a certain time

[00:41:31.260]
period or maybe just certain content

[00:41:33.840]
types like a just one of your primary

[00:41:35.860]
sources from a certain time period, you

[00:41:37.898]
have lots of different options and and simple

[00:41:40.199]
check boxes that you can use here.

[00:41:43.789]
I'm gonna use my same search term here.

[00:41:46.039]
Of dystopia.

[00:41:48.898]
And when I conduct this search, what it's going to

[00:41:50.909]
do is it's gonna give me this chart here

[00:41:53.820]
with the number of times that

[00:41:55.829]
the term dystopia appears

[00:41:58.688]
year over year.

[00:42:01.168]
See and see here we really peaked in 2012.

[00:42:03.898]
This is like Handmaid's Tale, Hunger

[00:42:05.969]
Games time period.

[00:42:08.619]
And when you click on one of these plot points,

[00:42:14.378]
you can view all of the document, um

[00:42:17.128]
documents published from that date.

[00:42:19.489]
So I'm in the year 2012.

[00:42:21.668]
So you can see here, I'm looking at um the

[00:42:23.809]
handmaid's Tale, we're discussing

[00:42:26.030]
Hunger Games,

[00:42:28.800]
um censorship, lots of different

[00:42:30.860]
titles here. So you can explore

[00:42:33.269]
kind of by year and see how often

[00:42:35.389]
these terms are mentioned over

[00:42:37.978]
time, which is also a really interesting

[00:42:40.050]
way to search, especially if you're researching

[00:42:42.590]
like trends in literature or

[00:42:44.719]
trying to see, you know, when the first time this topic

[00:42:47.050]
was really talked about or publish pushed about

[00:42:49.369]
um how maybe perception

[00:42:52.250]
of a piece of literature has been,

[00:42:54.500]
you know, changed over time, showed you

[00:42:56.579]
that rejection letter originally from

[00:42:58.668]
the yellow wallpaper, you know, how was

[00:43:00.938]
it taken then in 1890?

[00:43:03.090]
And how is it being reviewed today?

[00:43:05.329]
And kind of seeing how that has changed over

[00:43:07.378]
time

[00:43:08.500]
using term frequency is a really nice

[00:43:10.530]
way to kind of explore that.

[00:43:16.239]
Ok. So if you have any questions, please

[00:43:18.550]
