Gale Training

[00:00:02.108]
All right, welcome everybody. I'm Stacey

[00:00:04.589]
Knibloe, your Gale trainer. Thanks

[00:00:06.639]
for joining me for our Support Advanced

[00:00:08.788]
Research Skills With Gale In Context: Opposing

[00:00:11.079]
Viewpoints. What we want to do in this

[00:00:13.310]
session is share what you can do with this

[00:00:15.550]
resource but actually others as well,

[00:00:17.750]
a lot of the tools we're going to pick up here are transferrable

[00:00:20.289]
between your Gale resources that come to you through El

[00:00:22.449]
Coral. But we'll start with a quick

[00:00:24.699]
overview of the resource and then

[00:00:27.850]
share skills for searching

[00:00:30.068]
and finding what you need on a few

[00:00:32.259]
different ways. We've got lots of different

[00:00:34.429]
search paths in the resource and

[00:00:36.689]
we also want to spend some time on how you can share

[00:00:38.990]
the content out that's found. Um But

[00:00:41.090]
really we want to talk about the best way

[00:00:43.189]
to get what you need out of this resource.

[00:00:46.060]
and help meet the needs of your researchers.

[00:00:48.368]
So we'll always er as

[00:00:50.789]
we always do we'll wrap up with support where

[00:00:52.819]
you can go to at Gale when you need help

[00:00:55.109]
with. certainly Opposing Viewpoints

[00:00:57.209]
but also any of our other resources.

[00:00:59.950]
Um as we go through, do feel free to ask

[00:01:02.000]
questions any time. This is your session.

[00:01:04.430]
So Stop me if there's something

[00:01:06.573]
you want to learn more about the Q. And A. Is open

[00:01:08.694]
as is the chat. So feel

[00:01:10.814]
free to send in. Um you

[00:01:12.894]
know anything really if you see something on

[00:01:14.974]
the screen you want to know more about some feedback

[00:01:17.534]
for us or of course a question. I'm happy

[00:01:19.594]
to take those at any point. So

[00:01:21.834]
well let's go ahead and dive in

[00:01:24.739]
so we wanted to for

[00:01:26.859]
those of you who maybe haven't used Gale In Context Opposing

[00:01:29.010]
Viewpoints before or maybe it's new to you

[00:01:31.459]
or just refresh your memory

[00:01:33.540]
about it, I'll give you a brief overview

[00:01:35.620]
of the resource, it's part of our Gale In Context

[00:01:37.939]
product family. So if you used any

[00:01:40.079]
of the others it should hopefully be pretty simple to

[00:01:42.180]
move around um and find what you need in

[00:01:44.319]
it. But again, we're going to share you the best tips for doing

[00:01:46.359]
that today.

[00:01:47.709]
It is a collection of a lot

[00:01:49.808]
of different, types of sources all in one.

[00:01:52.180]
So it's almost its own little online library

[00:01:54.609]
things you would find on the shelf in the library you

[00:01:56.638]
can expect to find in this resource.

[00:01:58.730]
We've got great reference content

[00:02:01.278]
but of course for a database called opposing

[00:02:03.489]
viewpoints, you can guess we have a lot of

[00:02:05.500]
viewpoint essays as well. So really

[00:02:07.638]
helps students build up their own kind of critical

[00:02:10.020]
thinking skills and then help them develop into

[00:02:12.210]
critical writers um and be able

[00:02:14.469]
to back up.

[00:02:16.199]
you know opinions that they have.

[00:02:18.338]
the content is also though getting

[00:02:20.550]
rounded out with lots of current periodicals.

[00:02:22.599]
So you can see what other people are saying about particular

[00:02:25.149]
issues. There's multimedia

[00:02:27.278]
statistics. Lots of good

[00:02:29.379]
info here. It's a good database for just general

[00:02:31.750]
research. But of course when you've got that

[00:02:33.879]
more.

[00:02:35.270]
opinionated writing to do is going to be a big

[00:02:37.469]
help too

[00:02:38.919]
The database is like all of

[00:02:40.979]
the galling context resources built around

[00:02:43.139]
curriculum standards. So we look at what

[00:02:45.240]
needs to be studied in school, we look at state

[00:02:47.429]
standards, we look at national standards

[00:02:49.729]
and then build our resources around that. We also

[00:02:52.000]
go of course talk to librarians

[00:02:54.679]
to teachers, we keep an eye on what's being

[00:02:56.808]
served. in the database so we can see what people

[00:02:58.944]
are currently interested in and

[00:03:01.074]
build our resources around that.

[00:03:03.153]
So it is um

[00:03:05.304]
you know frequently updated with content.

[00:03:07.694]
And as we'll see we're going to get into the home page

[00:03:09.774]
here in a minute. You can actually see when we

[00:03:11.974]
we've done some major updates on particular topics

[00:03:14.213]
or when they're new

[00:03:15.729]
We have lots of great tools built

[00:03:17.750]
into the resource to help fit into the workflow

[00:03:20.389]
of a student or a teacher or librarian's

[00:03:22.849]
life. We've got um tools

[00:03:25.020]
that they would use kind of as standard research

[00:03:27.508]
skill research skills as

[00:03:29.659]
well. So we're going to share those

[00:03:32.270]
But what's nice is those kinds

[00:03:34.460]
of features go across our databases

[00:03:37.149]
so we're going to pick them up here in Opposing Viewpoints

[00:03:39.528]
but it's something you could also accomplish in Gale

[00:03:41.659]
and context middle school or again

[00:03:43.909]
really any of your other Gale resources.

[00:03:46.008]
So hopefully those skills will be transferable.

[00:03:49.088]
with that though, I think it's time to dive right

[00:03:51.099]
into the resource. We're going to spend most of our time

[00:03:53.110]
live in the database

[00:03:56.669]
and I'll walk you through it. So again if

[00:03:58.699]
there's something you'd like me to click on or even a search

[00:04:00.949]
you'd like me to try. Just let me know in that chat or

[00:04:03.409]
or Q. And A.

[00:04:05.368]
So the home page here, like most of our resources

[00:04:08.319]
is intended to give you an idea

[00:04:10.349]
of what's here, right. If

[00:04:12.580]
someone just comes across this on your web

[00:04:14.778]
page and jumps in, we want them to get

[00:04:16.988]
a sense of what they're using. You know, the name is of

[00:04:19.028]
course a clue. But if we scroll

[00:04:21.298]
down here on the home page, we're always cycling

[00:04:23.629]
through between three and five different times. topics

[00:04:26.665]
and this changes as

[00:04:28.863]
the month changes. So usually

[00:04:31.074]
around the beginning of the month we'll change things

[00:04:33.324]
up. Could have something that's has some sort of historical

[00:04:35.725]
significance or something

[00:04:37.884]
we're talking about hearing about in the news. Certainly like

[00:04:40.014]
inflation right now. that

[00:04:42.024]
kind of draw users and pull on their

[00:04:44.504]
curiosity a bit.

[00:04:46.939]
And then I scroll a little further,

[00:04:49.009]
our Gale In Context databases are built

[00:04:51.209]
around portal pages. We also

[00:04:53.379]
call them topic pages and sometimes even issue

[00:04:55.619]
pages. But basically these

[00:04:57.928]
are home pages for

[00:04:59.949]
a particular issue

[00:05:01.588]
and we list a few here grouped by

[00:05:03.790]
some large subject areas. But if we

[00:05:05.829]
click into a few more of these

[00:05:08.619]
These are all links to

[00:05:10.879]
issue pages. And if we jump in

[00:05:13.309]
grab say

[00:05:15.199]
their energy, we land on

[00:05:17.269]
a page like this where you have

[00:05:19.559]
really everything we've got for

[00:05:22.019]
this topic pulled to a central place.

[00:05:24.829]
we always start with an overview.

[00:05:26.850]
So you get comfortable with what the topic

[00:05:29.129]
is. Doesn't it isn't really going to have an opinion itself.

[00:05:31.689]
It may mention that there are different viewpoints

[00:05:34.278]
but the overview essay that you start

[00:05:36.428]
with is really just intended to inform

[00:05:38.470]
and let you know what this topic is about.

[00:05:41.500]
And then as you scroll down, you see all

[00:05:43.649]
the other pieces we have and like you would find

[00:05:45.910]
in a library if you group content the way

[00:05:48.509]
it kind of fits together by the source type.

[00:05:51.019]
So viewpoint essays are kept together,

[00:05:54.160]
reference articles, magazines,

[00:05:56.579]
academic journals, statistics,

[00:05:59.019]
video, all of these have

[00:06:01.178]
their own content types. So you can kind of easily

[00:06:03.488]
navigate between these different types of sources.

[00:06:06.350]
So it's also handy when students maybe have

[00:06:08.488]
some sort of assignment, they've got to find three

[00:06:10.608]
newspaper articles to work with.

[00:06:12.670]
Boom you go right to the news section.

[00:06:15.189]
so these are all brows and what's

[00:06:17.379]
great about these lists is they are

[00:06:19.769]
ways for students

[00:06:21.980]
to get comfortable with here, but also

[00:06:24.449]
if they've got a choice of what they're working

[00:06:26.528]
on, you know, they've got to pick a topic

[00:06:28.869]
and write an opinion based paper about

[00:06:30.970]
it or they're going to, you know, suggest topics for class

[00:06:33.230]
debate or something like that. You

[00:06:35.319]
can browse through all of these issues

[00:06:38.149]
and these apply to a lot of different types

[00:06:40.278]
of classrooms. Certainly we're going to have content here for science

[00:06:42.649]
class for social studies,

[00:06:44.730]
health class. You know these broad

[00:06:46.790]
categories that we can pick from. Kind of give us the guides

[00:06:49.160]
along those ways

[00:06:50.920]
and then you can jump into these portals

[00:06:54.009]
All right. And we add new ones.

[00:06:56.230]
These get fed into the database pretty frequently.

[00:06:59.059]
Um Also content stays very up to

[00:07:01.079]
date. So say for example, U. S. Iran relations

[00:07:04.569]
you know, our friends in the news a lot recently

[00:07:07.509]
considering what's going on there. So this

[00:07:09.629]
might be a topic we want to explore. And what I like

[00:07:11.858]
about this is

[00:07:13.949]
we're going to get content if I scroll

[00:07:16.019]
a bit further down here.

[00:07:19.519]
around the background. You know

[00:07:21.838]
there's a long history between different

[00:07:24.079]
countries and certainly different phases

[00:07:26.528]
of U. S. Relations with various countries

[00:07:28.778]
with the reference content, you get all

[00:07:31.040]
of that. You know when you're tuning into the news,

[00:07:33.059]
you're kind of hearing what's happening now. But

[00:07:35.350]
the reference content and even the periodical

[00:07:37.764]
can kind of go back and show you the history

[00:07:40.074]
of in this case this relationship.

[00:07:42.285]
So the content lets

[00:07:44.634]
you look back. But then we also are covering

[00:07:47.403]
current content. So if we're looking at

[00:07:49.494]
news and the like you're going to see, you

[00:07:51.545]
know, recent um articles

[00:07:54.244]
here, these are updated daily.

[00:07:57.053]
So the resource stays very

[00:07:59.173]
current

[00:08:00.790]
All right, let's go ahead and

[00:08:02.920]
jump back. Now. The other thing I wanted to point

[00:08:05.119]
out is you'll see these little red tags updated

[00:08:07.759]
or new. So that means we created

[00:08:10.639]
a space for inflation. Not that it wasn't

[00:08:12.829]
covered in the database before. But

[00:08:15.338]
now it has its own dedicated space

[00:08:17.488]
in the database, its own dedicated portal

[00:08:19.528]
page and that can happen

[00:08:21.600]
where we, you know, there's content in the database for

[00:08:23.689]
your topic, but it may not have a topic page.

[00:08:25.759]
It could end up getting one. again,

[00:08:28.040]
certainly something we're talking about now,

[00:08:30.838]
But this is

[00:08:32.950]
just a dedicated place to gather it. But of course

[00:08:35.210]
there would be content here even if we didn't

[00:08:37.239]
have this dedicated spot. So

[00:08:40.038]
the new tag, let me jump

[00:08:42.058]
back and show that one is again for

[00:08:44.119]
newly created portal pages may not be a new

[00:08:46.269]
topic in the database, but it's a newly created

[00:08:48.320]
portal page. The updated tag,

[00:08:50.729]
we assign that when we've added a good

[00:08:53.070]
amount of new reference content

[00:08:55.469]
statistics, something like that, because

[00:08:57.649]
technically the magazines, newspapers,

[00:08:59.889]
those get updated daily, we're feeding new content

[00:09:02.149]
into the database every day.

[00:09:03.899]
But if you get that updated tag it's because

[00:09:05.969]
we added more viewpoint essays, we added

[00:09:08.219]
more infographics, something like that. We

[00:09:10.340]
added some of these additional pieces

[00:09:12.389]
um or updated the ones we have

[00:09:15.399]
so you get that tag as well.

[00:09:18.269]
and if we again just jump back,

[00:09:20.288]
you can see there are a lot of topics here that might appeal

[00:09:22.369]
to teens. Again, one of the reasons they may be coming

[00:09:24.529]
in here is they get to pick what they're, you know, writing

[00:09:26.889]
an opinion piece about. They might have something

[00:09:29.168]
in mind, but something like e sports

[00:09:31.849]
or school uniforms or students

[00:09:34.229]
in homework, there are a lot topics here that that may

[00:09:36.364]
appeal to their interests as well as things

[00:09:38.854]
they might be studying in the classroom. So it's a really

[00:09:41.344]
wide ranging database. And

[00:09:43.553]
again, I like it as a good general reference

[00:09:45.933]
as well. If I just want to know more about

[00:09:48.043]
fossil fuels. It's not that I have an opinion

[00:09:50.364]
or maybe I'm looking to form one.

[00:09:52.293]
This can be a great informative place

[00:09:54.553]
to get started,

[00:09:56.918]
now you can of course, as I've

[00:09:58.969]
said browse, but when folks

[00:10:01.149]
see a search box, they tend to go for that. So

[00:10:03.229]
that's what I'm going to do here. Let's say

[00:10:05.298]
we want to do some research into paying college.

[00:10:08.558]
athletes.

[00:10:10.320]
And I'll be honest this is actually a

[00:10:12.658]
something I helped my nephew with last school

[00:10:14.859]
year, now,

[00:10:17.090]
we don't have a dedicated place

[00:10:19.349]
for this topic. There isn't,

[00:10:21.788]
I shouldn't say place. So we don't have a dedicated portal

[00:10:24.070]
page for this topic. We came to our more traditional

[00:10:26.649]
search result. So across the top it's

[00:10:28.700]
letting me know how many hits I have for the different

[00:10:30.719]
content types

[00:10:32.479]
and I've got a reference article,

[00:10:34.570]
so I can just read about the topic again with kind

[00:10:36.678]
of without an opinion

[00:10:38.639]
and some video content. And

[00:10:40.879]
you can tell a lot often from the titles

[00:10:43.119]
of, you know, the different magazine articles, the news,

[00:10:45.519]
the audio, the opinion of the author.

[00:10:47.678]
If it's, if it's got that, um, you

[00:10:49.820]
know, it's going to have a point of view.

[00:10:51.918]
Uh, so we've got some

[00:10:54.119]
opinion based articles here too, but we

[00:10:56.149]
don't have a ton of content, right

[00:10:58.460]
And this is one of the things I wanted to share

[00:11:00.798]
is when you're doing research in our databases,

[00:11:03.798]
your results can be really targeted,

[00:11:06.330]
but sometimes you need to expand them a bit

[00:11:09.700]
because

[00:11:11.119]
we're trying to zero in on

[00:11:13.158]
your topic, but we're also using the

[00:11:15.200]
search terms that you gave us. So

[00:11:18.308]
this is kind of specific

[00:11:20.509]
paying college athletes, right? It's

[00:11:22.609]
looking for those terms. Maybe I want to vary

[00:11:25.038]
that up a bit and then this is a good skill

[00:11:27.394]
for students to learn. You know, certainly

[00:11:29.514]
if they're going to be headed into research and college

[00:11:31.994]
and career at all and will be doing research

[00:11:34.154]
in their job, it's good to pick

[00:11:36.375]
up on how you search for content.

[00:11:38.504]
Even google offers, you know, an advanced

[00:11:40.764]
search, so

[00:11:42.548]
it's I think a good time to start introducing

[00:11:45.019]
students to that idea, especially

[00:11:47.029]
in a control place like this database

[00:11:49.070]
where you're getting content from a publisher

[00:11:51.408]
that would appear in your library

[00:11:53.519]
and you know, gives them some parameters to work

[00:11:55.739]
with rather than the whole open

[00:11:58.009]
uh, you know, internet

[00:12:00.168]
So let's go ahead and take a look at advanced search and see

[00:12:02.219]
how we can, you know, play around with this search at

[00:12:04.239]
all. So

[00:12:07.129]
with advanced search, you are the boss,

[00:12:09.288]
you choose the field, you're going to

[00:12:11.379]
search in, you know, when we use the search

[00:12:13.408]
up in the banner here, it figures

[00:12:15.418]
all that out for us. But here

[00:12:17.570]
I get to choose where I search for my search

[00:12:19.729]
terms and we're going to come back and use this. So we'll

[00:12:21.830]
we'll spend a little more time on that.

[00:12:23.739]
You also get all of the limiters

[00:12:25.928]
you may want to place on your search. So

[00:12:28.048]
if you're searching and maybe

[00:12:30.320]
you're working within a student who's in a an

[00:12:32.389]
a. P course and they want peer reviewed journal,

[00:12:34.859]
you can just enable that

[00:12:36.788]
if you want content that is really

[00:12:38.989]
just viewpoints and news articles

[00:12:41.389]
and videos, then you can isolate by those content

[00:12:43.859]
types. You can actually even get more specific

[00:12:46.399]
choose things like document types. So if I'm looking

[00:12:48.729]
for an editorial, I can choose that.

[00:12:50.928]
If I'm looking for a video, if I'm looking

[00:12:53.029]
for an interview. The document

[00:12:55.129]
type tool comes in really handy.

[00:12:57.379]
you can also search by content

[00:12:59.469]
and lex measures. So if we're looking

[00:13:01.849]
for targeted content, maybe working with

[00:13:03.879]
a teacher who knows they need something

[00:13:06.000]
and you know, maybe a certain Lexile

[00:13:08.070]
range for their students, you've got a few

[00:13:10.519]
ranges here to pick from. And then you can also enter in

[00:13:12.529]
your own, you can use our Gale content

[00:13:15.129]
levels which also tie to lea

[00:13:16.840]
scores, but just a bit broader.

[00:13:18.960]
So we could isolate to these

[00:13:21.428]
Any of these filters can be placed on

[00:13:23.440]
your search when you issue it. Or as

[00:13:25.500]
you're going to see, we can actually place them

[00:13:27.529]
after we're looking at results and you know, decide

[00:13:29.908]
to use them, then

[00:13:31.469]
So let's go ahead and go and talk about our search

[00:13:33.820]
a little bit more? So we've added

[00:13:36.029]
a little search tips tool here. So you can

[00:13:38.070]
talk to kids if you want to kind of get into how search

[00:13:40.200]
engines work at all. We've got um help

[00:13:42.590]
for how ours works and what and or and

[00:13:44.668]
not do and that type of thing. So search

[00:13:47.149]
tips, help is really handy

[00:13:49.428]
But let's talk about terms first, Right?

[00:13:51.649]
So if we're searching we want to read more about

[00:13:54.090]
should we pay college athletes, right?

[00:13:57.200]
We can vary up our search terms a little

[00:13:59.428]
and for something like this, you

[00:14:01.440]
know, paying was this term I used before.

[00:14:03.529]
I still think that's a good one, but we may

[00:14:05.710]
want to throw in an or operator

[00:14:08.369]
and say we'll also look for pay or

[00:14:11.359]
compensation, you know, other words that

[00:14:13.408]
may mean something similar

[00:14:15.678]
and our search engine will read this

[00:14:17.840]
and knows what or does

[00:14:20.129]
it doesn't look for it as a search term. So it's

[00:14:22.210]
going to look for paying pay or compensation

[00:14:24.788]
in this search

[00:14:26.080]
Where do I want to search for those terms?

[00:14:28.099]
Well, as you select fields from the drop

[00:14:30.308]
box, you'll see over on the right. It just filter

[00:14:32.779]
it just filters and tells you what that

[00:14:34.879]
result or where those terms are

[00:14:36.960]
really searched for. So you can select

[00:14:39.440]
and it will tell you I like keyword.

[00:14:41.700]
It's our default. It's kind of a happy medium.

[00:14:44.200]
It hits all the key fields of an article.

[00:14:46.379]
So it reads the title, it reads the subject

[00:14:48.779]
settings that we've assigned. It reads the

[00:14:51.259]
um abstract if it's got one or

[00:14:53.375]
about the first paragraph, it

[00:14:55.654]
just looks at those hotspots. So I find that that's

[00:14:57.835]
a good happy medium between doing something

[00:15:00.215]
really specific like say subject and

[00:15:02.293]
looking only in subject settings or

[00:15:04.844]
something really broad, like entire document

[00:15:07.173]
which reads every word out of every single

[00:15:09.354]
article. You may need that sometimes,

[00:15:11.894]
but I generally don't like to start with

[00:15:13.994]
it. I like to go with keyword and again, it's a nice

[00:15:16.224]
happy medium.

[00:15:17.849]
now. We want to tie this to students. Right?

[00:15:20.048]
So I'm going to go down to the next field and I'm going to connect

[00:15:22.548]
these two search fields with an and which

[00:15:24.558]
is also the default, but notice you've got

[00:15:26.629]
or and not here if you need it.

[00:15:28.969]
and we want um you know, college

[00:15:31.519]
athletes

[00:15:33.259]
but again, thinking about other phrases, they

[00:15:35.359]
might use

[00:15:38.080]
student athletes

[00:15:40.840]
Hi. So, oh, sorry, I don't want that to be

[00:15:42.859]
in, I want that to be four.

[00:15:45.200]
and this is going to tie

[00:15:47.229]
those two fields together.

[00:15:49.418]
So it could find a phrase like paying student

[00:15:51.798]
athletes and pick that up or I could say

[00:15:54.158]
college athletes compensation.

[00:15:56.418]
Um actually they wouldn't even need to be that close

[00:15:58.479]
and it would pick it up so we could end up

[00:16:00.500]
with some things maybe we need to weed out,

[00:16:02.599]
but this has given us a wider scope,

[00:16:04.918]
you know, it's going to find similar terminology

[00:16:07.479]
that we need. So let's I'm going to go ahead and leave

[00:16:09.570]
it as is, I'm not going to turn on any of the filters, although

[00:16:12.019]
limiting a full text documents is always on

[00:16:14.099]
by default, which I want anyway,

[00:16:16.219]
so I'm going to ahead and leave it

[00:16:18.000]
and off we go

[00:16:19.649]
and just looking at the hit count here at the

[00:16:21.719]
top of the page. I got a lot more hits

[00:16:23.918]
with this right viewpoint essays, we

[00:16:26.019]
didn't have these before and

[00:16:28.038]
we can see, you know, we've got nine

[00:16:30.058]
of them now.

[00:16:32.200]
looking at viewpoint essays,

[00:16:34.408]
these are going to be of

[00:16:36.418]
course an opinion based article and

[00:16:38.649]
you'll notice we don't label them

[00:16:40.710]
pro con opinion, a

[00:16:42.739]
opinion B The title really

[00:16:44.849]
tells you the opinion of the author.

[00:16:47.330]
This is a critical

[00:16:49.590]
thinking database. We don't want to lay

[00:16:51.788]
it out for students. So just taking the time

[00:16:54.070]
to read the title of the article, they kind of know the

[00:16:56.168]
opinion the author is going to have and where they're

[00:16:58.340]
headed. Now, these are also

[00:17:00.830]
if we go ahead and jump into um

[00:17:04.269]
One of the entries you'll see.

[00:17:06.318]
They all start with an article commentary.

[00:17:08.539]
Because what we've done is rather

[00:17:10.719]
than

[00:17:12.000]
commissioning our editors, our writers

[00:17:14.250]
to write an opinion piece about

[00:17:16.328]
this topic, we go out and find

[00:17:18.578]
content that's been published elsewhere. So

[00:17:20.618]
people who have studied the issues

[00:17:22.750]
have an opinion

[00:17:24.259]
and then we get permission to republish

[00:17:26.269]
that opinion. So it's coming from the real world,

[00:17:28.930]
but we always want to let students know that,

[00:17:31.078]
right? That's part of a you know, a tentative research.

[00:17:33.453]
Where are you getting your content from? Who

[00:17:35.654]
wrote it? When does it come from? All those details

[00:17:38.654]
we want students to look for right, when they're

[00:17:40.755]
thinking critically about their research. So

[00:17:43.203]
we're going to tell you that in the article commentary

[00:17:45.795]
and it introduces the author. Now

[00:17:48.055]
the commentary may vary if I go back out

[00:17:50.144]
and choose another one.

[00:17:53.170]
Hi,

[00:17:54.160]
sometimes they may offer their own

[00:17:56.420]
questions to think about as

[00:17:58.549]
you're reading the question, those can be great,

[00:18:00.699]
critical drinking kind of jump starts

[00:18:02.809]
or even something a teacher might use in the classroom

[00:18:05.479]
to have students, you know, read the

[00:18:07.578]
article and then think about an answer in a class

[00:18:09.689]
discussion or maybe a written form.

[00:18:12.189]
Um but the commentary is really just

[00:18:14.390]
setting the stage for them to then read

[00:18:16.489]
this article. So in this case

[00:18:18.689]
it's really interesting. It's written by Kareem Abdul

[00:18:21.009]
Jabbar which, you know, made

[00:18:23.250]
be very appealing for

[00:18:25.380]
for students who know him,

[00:18:27.568]
and we can go through

[00:18:29.670]
and as you're working with content in the database,

[00:18:31.969]
we want to offer all of these additional

[00:18:34.358]
tools to help you with your research.

[00:18:36.670]
So as you're reading through an article

[00:18:39.640]
back in, you know when I was doing research,

[00:18:42.348]
I would probably be printing this out and then going through

[00:18:44.549]
it with a highlighter marker, making notes in the margin.

[00:18:47.430]
You can actually do that within the database.

[00:18:49.469]
So as you come across something,

[00:18:52.180]
If I click and drag,

[00:18:55.368]
Like I'm going to copy when I let go

[00:18:57.469]
of the mouse, it pops open our highlights

[00:19:00.049]
and notes bar so I can

[00:19:02.368]
use my highlighter marker. I'm going to make this yellow

[00:19:04.910]
and add a note to myself to use

[00:19:06.930]
this paragraph as a quote.

[00:19:10.049]
I always make sure to click save

[00:19:13.640]
and now that is part of this article

[00:19:15.979]
for my session.

[00:19:17.959]
And let me say that again for my session

[00:19:20.828]
when you're in our databases, we're keeping

[00:19:23.160]
track of what you're doing during your

[00:19:25.219]
session. So we're keeping track of your highlights

[00:19:27.299]
and notes. There's a search history

[00:19:29.410]
that's getting built in the background. So I can go back

[00:19:31.729]
to a search I did five minutes

[00:19:33.739]
ago and run it again quickly without having to

[00:19:35.759]
recreate it.

[00:19:37.160]
It's keeping track of that, but

[00:19:39.199]
we don't track our users at all. So

[00:19:41.259]
it doesn't really know that I'm Stacy

[00:19:43.539]
and that I'm going to come back into the database

[00:19:46.019]
in four days and give me back the same highlights

[00:19:48.380]
and note

[00:19:49.239]
it clears it out when we leave the database.

[00:19:52.279]
So the highlights and notes only last

[00:19:54.699]
for the session that you're in. We don't

[00:19:56.799]
track our users past their session

[00:19:59.160]
and truly we don't even know who that

[00:20:01.239]
user is. So there's no way for us to do it.

[00:20:04.180]
privacy is important. It's especially

[00:20:06.189]
important when you're working with people who are under 18.

[00:20:08.828]
So we just don't

[00:20:10.890]
do it in our databases. Right?

[00:20:13.189]
So I need to take this with me before

[00:20:15.358]
I go these highlights and notes that I may build.

[00:20:18.489]
I want to take them with me. So let me add a few more

[00:20:20.769]
here. I'll just add some more highlights and I'm

[00:20:22.789]
going to show you a neat feature. The reason

[00:20:24.900]
you may want to choose different colors. I'll show you how

[00:20:26.930]
we can we can work with that later.

[00:20:28.930]
but let me just create a few more.

[00:20:31.608]
this going?

[00:20:33.219]
Yeah. Now when

[00:20:35.439]
I say you want to take this with

[00:20:37.640]
you before you go. There are a few different ways

[00:20:39.910]
to do that.

[00:20:42.390]
I'm going to use my little annotate tool here.

[00:20:45.789]
To point to them.

[00:20:47.189]
So any of our, what I would call,

[00:20:49.328]
forgive my clumsy arrows here.

[00:20:51.939]
What I would call our retrieval tools

[00:20:54.130]
allow you to take the content with you before

[00:20:56.430]
you leave the database. These are

[00:20:58.469]
all right here in the toolbar bar.

[00:21:00.818]
They're also going to appear if I'm up

[00:21:02.920]
at the top of the article right underneath

[00:21:05.209]
the article info here. We've got a string

[00:21:07.469]
of icons out in the middle of the page

[00:21:09.529]
here that will do the same

[00:21:11.689]
thing. Ok, send to google drive in one

[00:21:13.930]
drive email. those also all

[00:21:16.084]
live under send two up in the toolbar

[00:21:18.854]
and then download and print all of these

[00:21:20.983]
will let me take this content plus my

[00:21:23.094]
highlights and notes. So even just

[00:21:25.125]
a simple print it's going to give me a nice clean

[00:21:27.144]
print out for the article. And if

[00:21:29.314]
I scroll down I can see the highlighted text

[00:21:32.094]
and at the very bottom it reprints

[00:21:34.154]
those highlighted passages and gives me my

[00:21:36.384]
notes. what's

[00:21:39.309]
become the most popular way though to pull

[00:21:41.529]
content out and take it with you is to

[00:21:43.650]
use the cloud based storage tool, google

[00:21:45.719]
drive Microsoft one drive. Often

[00:21:48.170]
these are already being used in a school

[00:21:50.338]
setting, but often outside of

[00:21:52.368]
it too. Just you know myself, I have both

[00:21:54.568]
a google drive and a one drive account so I can keep

[00:21:56.660]
track of content in the cloud

[00:21:58.549]
so I can send this right over to my google drive

[00:22:01.969]
I'm already logged into my google account

[00:22:04.549]
and what it does is create a folder

[00:22:07.269]
named after whatever database you were using.

[00:22:09.630]
So Gale In Context Opposing Viewpoints

[00:22:13.309]
and there's my article, it's time to pay

[00:22:15.500]
the tab for America's college athletes.

[00:22:17.509]
Right?

[00:22:18.670]
Open up and I'm going to have all that

[00:22:20.920]
text. If it had any images, I would have those

[00:22:23.309]
two.

[00:22:24.348]
I can again see my highlights and then

[00:22:26.449]
there at the bottom it reprints them

[00:22:28.568]
for me

[00:22:29.529]
and gives my notes

[00:22:32.430]
so this now lives in the cloud, it's

[00:22:34.578]
mine to do with what I like. I can move it to

[00:22:36.630]
another folder, I can share it with

[00:22:38.789]
someone on my project team, whatever

[00:22:41.049]
I need to do, I've got it all there

[00:22:43.608]
right. now

[00:22:46.140]
as you're marking up documents, I'm just going to go jump

[00:22:48.430]
into another one. Let me go grab a

[00:22:50.449]
newspaper article,

[00:22:53.439]
Ok, I can.

[00:22:56.559]
jump in and keep marking things up.

[00:22:58.759]
Right? I'm in the same session this whole

[00:23:00.900]
time,

[00:23:02.719]
And

[00:23:05.189]
Note to myself, this list

[00:23:07.400]
is growing in the background. And if

[00:23:09.430]
I print, if I email the article,

[00:23:11.509]
it all goes. You'll also see

[00:23:13.729]
though when you choose highlights and notes from the

[00:23:15.750]
tool bar up here in the upper right hand corner

[00:23:18.729]
it gives you the option to view all of the highlights

[00:23:21.180]
and notes you've gathered so far.

[00:23:23.868]
and here. I have them all coming

[00:23:25.890]
from a couple different articles and it's just

[00:23:28.140]
the highlights and notes. So maybe all I need

[00:23:30.239]
is this, I can print just this

[00:23:32.338]
and grab these highlights.

[00:23:34.130]
The other thing I wanted to show you though here is

[00:23:36.189]
you'll see it mentions

[00:23:39.108]
highlight legend, click on labels

[00:23:41.150]
to create the legend for your highlight. So I was

[00:23:43.279]
using yellow and blue is my colors here.

[00:23:45.868]
If I go up to the upper right and go to those

[00:23:47.920]
labels, I can actually assign

[00:23:50.279]
what those colors mean to me. So if I was

[00:23:52.400]
using yellow for again, quotes

[00:23:54.979]
or something like that.

[00:23:56.729]
I could do that. Forgive my spelling. Here.

[00:23:59.108]
There we go. If blue, I want

[00:24:01.130]
to do more research on the things I marked in blue

[00:24:03.630]
or I could even you know, maybe I'm using

[00:24:06.368]
pink to note facts and green

[00:24:08.630]
to note opinions. You can kind of create

[00:24:10.868]
your legend however you like.

[00:24:13.130]
and then that becomes part of your highlights

[00:24:15.239]
and notes here and to remind yourself those

[00:24:17.299]
different colors used. So

[00:24:19.549]
again, really neat feature but take

[00:24:22.019]
all this with you before you go

[00:24:24.989]
Hi, so let me check and

[00:24:27.088]
see if there's anything in the chat or the Q and A

[00:24:30.920]
in good shape. All right,

[00:24:33.219]
so let me go back. I actually want to grab

[00:24:35.640]
this search again. I want to show you how you can use

[00:24:37.699]
the filters.

[00:24:39.000]
So I'm going to go back to my advanced search.

[00:24:41.199]
Oh no, sorry. I didn't want to go back to advance search. I want to go to my

[00:24:43.209]
search history

[00:24:45.299]
And I can pull this search again. It just keeps

[00:24:47.469]
track of it here. This is again something we clean

[00:24:49.519]
out when you leave the database.

[00:24:51.930]
And here we are. All those results

[00:24:54.239]
in front of me

[00:24:55.289]
notice the filters are available

[00:24:57.358]
to me over on the right. So when I've got

[00:24:59.509]
this in front of me, maybe this is a much a bit

[00:25:01.559]
much to go to. Maybe I only want a articles

[00:25:03.838]
published in the last 10 years or so

[00:25:06.098]
publication date is right there.

[00:25:08.289]
I can just open up the drop box here,

[00:25:10.439]
go back to say January 2012.

[00:25:14.640]
and then push

[00:25:16.680]
this out, you know, to the end of the

[00:25:18.699]
month here

[00:25:21.719]
and it just works with those results and resets

[00:25:23.880]
them. There we go

[00:25:26.719]
Yeah. Now the other neat thing

[00:25:28.848]
you'll find in the database you can

[00:25:30.890]
use to help students build up their research skills.

[00:25:33.368]
I you know kind of knew ahead

[00:25:35.509]
of time. I wanted to talk a bit about using different

[00:25:37.969]
terms to expand your search

[00:25:40.088]
of it. So paying or pay or compensation.

[00:25:42.809]
That type of thing. One of the ways students

[00:25:45.088]
can find search terms but

[00:25:47.449]
also just make use of a really neat search

[00:25:49.969]
is to take advantage of our topic

[00:25:52.279]
finder. So you see it over here on

[00:25:54.299]
the right after you've performed

[00:25:56.338]
a search

[00:25:57.539]
what it does is create a visual

[00:25:59.709]
search result of your hits

[00:26:01.769]
and it creates this

[00:26:04.719]
you know kind of word cloud. So of

[00:26:06.809]
the terms or sorry of the

[00:26:08.880]
articles I had in my results,

[00:26:10.890]
it picked up these terms

[00:26:13.029]
that are used often. So

[00:26:15.068]
specifically collegiate athletes. That

[00:26:17.199]
was a term I didn't think to use. I'm just in college

[00:26:19.509]
athletes so I could have made that part of my search,

[00:26:22.299]
Um but it also though is allowing you to narrow.

[00:26:24.880]
So if I want to read more specifically about

[00:26:26.959]
college football or basketball,

[00:26:29.039]
I've got those places to

[00:26:31.108]
zero in on here.

[00:26:33.269]
it's kind of a heat map too. It shows you the terms

[00:26:35.519]
that are used more often

[00:26:37.209]
in red or orange and then the ones that aren't

[00:26:39.420]
and in the cooler colors, it also

[00:26:41.509]
is kind of showing me these cell sizes.

[00:26:43.900]
So again the bigger ones, we have more articles

[00:26:46.078]
associated with those and you can

[00:26:48.130]
zero in it is sometimes giving

[00:26:50.430]
you terms that maybe aren't as useful. Something

[00:26:52.469]
like N. C. A. Byline. Um

[00:26:54.848]
Well actually know that

[00:26:56.390]
no by line by that. They do mean who wrote it

[00:26:58.449]
but um that kind of thing. So you can kind of ignore

[00:27:00.689]
some of those. It's not always smart enough to know what the

[00:27:02.750]
the best key terms are but it's a great way

[00:27:04.920]
to you know, find more search terms,

[00:27:07.229]
find relations between topics

[00:27:09.348]
and of course zero in on a result.

[00:27:11.549]
And you can always start a search this way.

[00:27:14.250]
If you come into the database

[00:27:17.000]
and go to advanced search

[00:27:20.269]
topic. Finder is act actually an

[00:27:22.328]
option right from the advanced search page.

[00:27:24.479]
You can just start right there. Um

[00:27:26.489]
It is a really popular way for

[00:27:28.789]
a lot of our school libraries

[00:27:31.088]
to kind of get students started with research.

[00:27:33.390]
So I could even put in

[00:27:40.029]
That original search I used to

[00:27:42.098]
help me kind of find some other terms and find

[00:27:44.318]
some articles. It can be a little less

[00:27:46.328]
overwhelming too than a big results list.

[00:27:48.769]
You know, you have something visual, something you can interact

[00:27:50.828]
with to help you? zero in.

[00:27:53.809]
Really handy.

[00:27:55.479]
And then just the last thing I wanted to mention

[00:27:57.880]
here and we'll go ahead and wrap up is

[00:28:00.108]
another great research tool.

[00:28:02.130]
Um I mentioned before of course

[00:28:04.209]
we're always telling kids they need to know where they got

[00:28:06.279]
their content and when well part of the reason they need to

[00:28:08.348]
know that is so they can create their work

[00:28:10.430]
cited page, their

[00:28:12.439]
bibliography. You know,

[00:28:14.759]
we've got help for that too. You'll see right

[00:28:16.959]
in the tool bar there's a site

[00:28:19.269]
tool and we show

[00:28:21.390]
them.

[00:28:23.900]
the citation for this article and

[00:28:25.939]
they can pick their style. So M L. A.

[00:28:28.098]
A P A Chicago Harvard

[00:28:30.588]
copy and paste that right into their bibliography

[00:28:33.420]
or actually export it out to any of these

[00:28:35.519]
tools and they've got that citation.

[00:28:38.059]
Now the good news is I'm going to go ahead and

[00:28:41.789]
right here. If I scroll all the way to the bottom

[00:28:43.900]
we actually make the citation part

[00:28:46.219]
of the article. So if I sent this to

[00:28:48.390]
my google drive, if I emailed it,

[00:28:50.699]
if I printed it the source

[00:28:52.930]
citation always prints with the article.

[00:28:55.170]
So you're always going to know where you got it.

[00:28:57.430]
Um when you kind of again are pulling

[00:28:59.729]
content out of the database so it's part

[00:29:01.979]
of the article.

[00:29:05.529]
So all right, let me check my list

[00:29:07.670]
here. If there's anything else I wanted to be sure to show you.

[00:29:11.170]
Ok, good

[00:29:13.078]
Um are the tool features still available? If

[00:29:15.118]
they decide not to create an account, they

[00:29:17.180]
actually don't need to create an account.

[00:29:19.338]
Um I should mention that once you

[00:29:21.509]
and actually I can show you here

[00:29:24.390]
if you come from el portal or if you come

[00:29:26.650]
from your own website and

[00:29:28.719]
link to the databases, what

[00:29:31.009]
you see. Let me see if I can back up here.

[00:29:36.939]
Yeah, I want too far. Um let

[00:29:39.000]
me see if I can recreate it

[00:29:47.199]
Yes. You

[00:29:51.299]
usually see a screen.

[00:29:53.380]
Oh shoot it went past it because like ok bear

[00:29:55.390]
with me just a second. I'm going to

[00:29:58.259]
I'm going to force this not to recognize

[00:30:00.699]
me. all

[00:30:05.680]
right because I'm still ok, bear with me

[00:30:07.719]
just a second, I'm going to do

[00:30:10.068]
try one more

[00:30:16.969]
thing I'm going to grab

[00:30:19.269]
from another window here.

[00:30:25.618]
there we go. This is what I was looking for. Normally

[00:30:27.838]
you get a page like this, we call it our authentication

[00:30:30.779]
page, it's asking you to and this is

[00:30:32.848]
what it's saying for me. For you all,

[00:30:34.880]
it may say something like please enter your library card

[00:30:37.140]
barcode or enter, it might even ask

[00:30:39.279]
for google or Microsoft,

[00:30:41.578]
we offer that as a as a single sign on option.

[00:30:44.568]
But regardless of what you enter here,

[00:30:46.969]
we don't really know who you are.

[00:30:49.239]
As I mentioned it just is to so

[00:30:51.519]
we can make sure you are a user of

[00:30:53.608]
these databases

[00:30:55.269]
and then once you do that

[00:30:57.568]
you don't have to log in. Again, we don't

[00:30:59.640]
have any sort of requirement for logging

[00:31:01.880]
into these resources. You just

[00:31:03.959]
get in there and start searching

[00:31:06.489]
so

[00:31:07.559]
you can have all of the tools

[00:31:09.618]
that I've just shown you without any sort

[00:31:11.779]
of login. Only that authentication

[00:31:14.328]
just to make sure you're a user of the resource.

[00:31:16.400]
So there's no need for your end

[00:31:18.459]
users to create an account.

[00:31:22.229]
So in question

[00:31:25.989]
All right, let me

[00:31:27.670]
see again. Let me just double check this list.

[00:31:30.559]
Hit all my spots. So OK, let me pop back

[00:31:32.578]
to the power point and we're going to talk about

[00:31:34.789]
a few different things you can do to share and save

[00:31:36.949]
content in our resources.

[00:31:39.449]
So we talked about send two

[00:31:41.568]
but these other two options. Get link

[00:31:44.088]
is if I pop back into one of the

[00:31:46.229]
articles here, let me grab one

[00:31:48.338]
of the windows I have open

[00:31:53.219]
Oh there we go.

[00:31:54.588]
Get link here in the upper again

[00:31:56.759]
portion of the page, right in that tool bar gives

[00:31:58.949]
you a persistent U. R. L. So you can put

[00:32:00.959]
users right in an article you want them

[00:32:03.078]
to read or onto

[00:32:05.199]
a portal page. So

[00:32:07.259]
if you are about to start,

[00:32:09.279]
you know, a discussion in the classroom around

[00:32:11.640]
inflation.

[00:32:13.318]
you could actually go to get link,

[00:32:15.380]
grab this U. R. L. And post it to

[00:32:17.479]
the library website to your teacher page

[00:32:19.880]
wherever you would normally put A U. R. L.

[00:32:22.559]
And it will drop your students right here

[00:32:24.979]
on this inflation portal.

[00:32:27.809]
It's a really handy way to get him into the content.

[00:32:29.890]
Now the one thing again remember

[00:32:32.729]
highlights and notes are only good

[00:32:34.910]
for your session. So say if I went into this

[00:32:36.949]
article on inflation and marked it all up

[00:32:40.199]
when students click the link that I gave them, they

[00:32:42.219]
wouldn't see my highlights and notes because it starts

[00:32:44.630]
a fresh session, you could send it

[00:32:46.650]
to google drive or Microsoft OneDrive

[00:32:49.039]
and share it from there and they'd see your highlights

[00:32:51.380]
and notes. But whenever you send them into the database,

[00:32:53.519]
they're starting a brand new session on

[00:32:55.858]
their own.

[00:32:57.459]
hm So again

[00:32:59.838]
send two is a great way to share content

[00:33:02.299]
right there from the cloud and then if

[00:33:04.348]
you use google classroom or another

[00:33:06.539]
form of learning management system you can always

[00:33:08.858]
link our resources from in within there as

[00:33:11.000]
well. So, great way

[00:33:13.019]
to put you usually get right

[00:33:15.130]
where you want them

[00:33:17.799]
So let's talk about Gale support, we've got lots

[00:33:20.078]
of good stuff out on our support site,

[00:33:22.348]
ready to go. Marketing materials,

[00:33:25.130]
training materials, lots of good tech

[00:33:27.439]
info. And I'm going to be sharing

[00:33:29.549]
this via email when we well

[00:33:31.680]
actually you'll get it about 24 hours from now.

[00:33:33.989]
Um but it will have the link for our support

[00:33:36.305]
site for um our portal

[00:33:37.904]
libraries and lots of

[00:33:39.943]
other good info but definitely

[00:33:41.993]
check the support site, no need to recreate the

[00:33:44.104]
we've got a lot of good database information

[00:33:46.305]
but also materials you can use and

[00:33:48.483]
repurpose for however it fits your needs.

[00:33:52.000]
And then of course when you want to talk to a person we

[00:33:54.199]
are happy to hear from you again, I'm your trainer

[00:33:56.868]
and you'll get an email from me tomorrow again about 24

[00:33:59.229]
hours from now. And you can feel free to send me any

[00:34:01.338]
questions if I don't have the answers I know where to go

[00:34:03.380]
to get them. But we've got tech support

[00:34:05.660]
available. Should you run into a say a problem

[00:34:07.699]
using the databases, your account

[00:34:09.938]
rep is always a good person to get to know. So I've got

[00:34:11.949]
a rep finder here and then

[00:34:14.000]
your customer success manager is

[00:34:16.393]
there to help make sure you're successful with our resources

[00:34:19.043]
so they can answer questions about

[00:34:21.414]
the databases and how you use them

[00:34:23.762]
about all of the materials on the support

[00:34:25.773]
site. Um They can talk to you about usage

[00:34:27.963]
reports, all that good stuff. So your

[00:34:30.224]
C. S. M. Is another really good person to get

[00:34:32.434]
to know at gale. And if you use this email address

[00:34:34.503]
it'll get routed right to the right person

[00:34:36.822]
for your library or

[00:34:38.842]
school

[00:34:40.250]
So definitely reach out. Don't suffer

[00:34:42.289]
in silence

[00:34:43.989]
with that. I'll say thank you so much for tuning

[00:34:46.219]
in today. Um feel free

[00:34:48.409]
again to get in touch with any questions. Keep an

[00:34:50.469]
eye on our webinar calendars to see what might

[00:34:52.610]
be coming up next and we always

[00:34:54.750]
record these so you can always tune in if

[00:34:56.780]
you're unable to attend live the

[00:34:58.958]
recordings, go on these same pages. So

[00:35:01.168]
feel free to seek those out as

[00:35:03.269]
needed as well.

[00:35:04.559]
I'm going to stick around and see if any other questions

[00:35:06.619]
should come in but if you're all set again, thank

[00:35:08.639]
you so much for tuning in today. Hope

[00:35:10.769]
