All right. Hello and welcome to our Novel New York Periodical Perspectives, Harnessing the Power of Digital Periodical Resources for Academic Libraries. Glad to have you all virtually this morning to walk you through some of the periodical resources available for Novel New York that would be most popular in our academic libraries.
[00:00:24.192]
I have an agenda.
[00:00:27.015]
But really, I like this to be your session.
[00:00:29.483]
I'm going to talk a bit about what I have planned to show you, but do feel free to share in the chat and the Q&A anytime what you're really interested in seeing so that I can make sure to fit those needs. So just do a quick refresher on what's available for Novel New York and then share best practices for searching and retrieving content out of our periodical resources.
[00:00:51.033]
And how you can stay up to date with our search, our alerts and journal alerts within our periodical resources.
[00:00:56.195]
And then we're going to spend just a minute or two sharing our cross-search tool, Gale Power Search, which picks up
[00:01:04.057]
all of the periodical resources plus a few others and can be a time saver. And I want to share how you can find that.
[00:01:11.140]
And then as we always do, we'll wrap up with support Gail support. So where can you go after today when you've got questions? We've got lots of on-demand support, but we, of course, also want to make sure that you're aware of your teams.
[00:01:22.395]
at Gale and who you can reach out to directly for help.
[00:01:27.479]
That's our plan.
[00:01:31.790]
I did want to spend a minute before we dive into kind of the meat of the session.
[00:01:36.138]
about our academic outreach and engagement teams. These folks are there to help provide personalized support to integrating your Gale content into research instruction across the campus. So certainly these are always standouts in the library, but they can help support the work that's happening in classrooms as well. So you can always find the team by visiting their website and I'll share this.
[00:02:01.153]
follow-up email around this time tomorrow, and I'll share all of this contact info in it. You can also reach out directly to the team though. So if you have a question, maybe you're
[00:02:10.649]
looking to put together a live guide or something around a particular class, they can help with that kind of thing. You can talk to them about usage statistics.
[00:02:17.580]
They really are a great support. Definitely take advantage of this team. And what's nice is they specialize in academic institutions. So they have ideas from what other places have done. They, of course, are going to know the Novel New York program. So it's a great team to reach out to and get just a little extra support for your Gale resources as needed. So certainly the things that you get from Novel New York, but of course anything else that you may
[00:02:42.898]
purchase on your own as well. And depending on our schedule, we may have the leader of that team, Sarah Tarpley, join us a little later, and she may pop up in the chat and the Q&A as we're going through here.
[00:02:55.649]
So let's go ahead and dive in. Again, give that kind of quick refresher about what's available from Novel New York from Yale.
[00:03:02.289]
The program was updated this summer. We added some new resources. We're thrilled to be able to offer those. Gail One Fow Leadership and Management is a resource about kind of professional development, leadership and business that can be a great tool to go along with
[00:03:19.401]
say your business courses or really anybody interested in management.
[00:03:24.018]
Peterson's test and career prep.
[00:03:25.366]
has a lot of great tools that can suit college students, for example, practice tests for CLEP exams, and certainly there's a great college search, both undergrad and
[00:03:36.876]
grad school, so if you've got students who are looking to head on and grab a master's or something or maybe transferring, you've got a lot of great support there.
[00:03:44.254]
You also have access to our readers advisory tool, Gale Books and Authors, if you've got any kind of pleasure readers who maybe are looking for something fun to read next.
[00:03:54.131]
Yale Business Entrepreneurship is a great new addition for those who are maybe thinking of pursuing their own business, starting their own business.
[00:04:00.310]
And then lastly, Gale Legal Forms is a great tool for everyday legal support. So, you know, maybe
[00:04:09.238]
figuring out a lease on an apartment while you're in school or something like that. Lots of good tools there. So as well as all the resources that have been available from Novel New York through years and actually Gale Periodicals are one of those kind of standby. So let's get into those a little bit more specifically. And I am going to go ahead. I'm just going to disable my video for the rest of the session so my
[00:04:30.302]
My video screen isn't blocking a portion of the screen later in the recording.
[00:04:35.818]
So let me go ahead and disable that so I'm not blocking anything there.
[00:04:41.963]
So let's dive in.
[00:04:44.102]
When you're talking about Gale periodicals, the product family that they belong to is called Gale One File. So if you see that as part of the logo or
[00:04:52.599]
You know, on any of our documentation and certainly in the product itself, whenever you see Gale One file, that's going to equal a primarily periodical resource.
[00:05:02.354]
And the one we're going to probably spend most of our time in
[00:05:07.042]
Sorry, I'm having a little trouble advancing my slides there, is Gale Academic One Fow. So this has been a standard in libraries for years and years. It focuses on, of course, academic and scholarly publications. You've got over 17,000 sources in this resource.
[00:05:21.638]
And it goes back, it's got a deep back value. You might even find content from the late 70s there. And it just keeps getting bigger.
[00:05:29.826]
One of the things I'm going to point out
[00:05:32.888]
When we get into the resources on the homepage, you can actually see the current article count in these resources and
[00:05:38.038]
It's big numbers. So you've got a huge wealth of information here and a wide variety of content. It is going to hit on all the areas of study you're going to find at your institutions.
[00:05:50.741]
It can be a big resource to deal with those. So with Novel New York, you also have access to Gale Academic One File Select, which is about half the size. So that might be a good place to get first year students started. It can be just a smaller result set, a little
[00:06:07.328]
smaller collection of resources to work with, maybe lessen, you know, some overwhelm that you might find in the bigger resource.
[00:06:15.563]
However, I'm also going to share some tips for doing that in general when you're working with such a big
[00:06:20.696]
collection of resources.
[00:06:22.200]
I'm going to share some tips on the different search paths you can take to help manage that a little.
[00:06:28.629]
We also have our more kind of public library resource, Gale General One file available through Novel New York. So this is more general interest periodicals, the things you might pick up at the newsstand or find on the shelf in the bookstore. Also a large resource. And again, I'm going to share later with Gail Power Search, you can actually scoop these up and search them together.
[00:06:52.561]
And again, great fit for public libraries or more general interest topics. It is going to have some academic sources as well, but
[00:06:59.258]
You know, if that's what you're after, you're really better off in Gell Academic 1.
[00:07:04.659]
And then Gail, once our news is our big
[00:07:08.040]
newspaper database. Newspapers, news wires from across the country and around the world.
[00:07:14.544]
Like all of the one file resources, these are updated daily. So for several papers, you'll find today's paper in there today.
[00:07:22.911]
So great place to pick up on current news.
[00:07:27.001]
Again, from around the world and of course here in the US.
[00:07:30.701]
And it does have unique titles that you wouldn't find in academic one file. So all of these will have a bit of overlap, but they really are their own discrete pub
[00:07:41.080]
collections so
[00:07:43.201]
While they have a few subtitles in common, they are worthwhile to kind of go in on their own. Or again, we're going to talk about Gail Power Search, where we could scoop them all up into one big search.
[00:07:56.406]
So continuing through what's available, you also have Gale Onefowl in Forme Academico.
[00:08:03.711]
And this is a collection of full text Spanish language scholarly journals, magazines, and actually newspapers as well. There is a handful of publications in Portuguese, but the bulk of the content is in Spanish. So this can be a great fit for any Spanish speaking users. It is also, you know, maybe an excellent tool for those majoring in Spanish and looking for publications
[00:08:27.967]
to test themselves or again, just do more research.
[00:08:32.156]
And you have the ability
[00:08:36.037]
is needed, I will say I need the ability, the interface by default is available in Spanish, but you can actually change that in all of our databases. There's an option to change the interface language so you can actually have an English interface on it should you need it, which again, in my case, I would need, because I don't speak Spanish, but that's a handy tool if you're in the same boat.
[00:08:57.218]
You also have access to Gale One File Health and Medicine. And these databases aren't named accidentally, so I imagine you can guess what's there.
[00:09:06.995]
Covering the complete range of healthcare topics, so perfect for those in any sort of health or medical related program.
[00:09:14.343]
You've got more than 3,000 non-embargo full text periodicals. There's some reference content as well. So this is another bit of content that's great for first year students that reference content is written maybe more for the patient in some cases, depending on the work you're working with.
[00:09:30.813]
But it can be a good kind of first step and then get into the more academic and scholarly publications that are there.
[00:09:38.772]
And then what I always like to mention is Gail Onefowl Information Science for our librarians and folks who work in the library. This collection is a smaller one. We're going to talk a little bit about what we call the Gale One File Collections. This is one of them, but I like to give it a highlight because, of course, who I have on the webinar today. So this is a great collection for your own professional development or
[00:10:01.577]
you know, kind of any research into the library world itself, and it covers all aspects. So certainly you're going to find great sources there for reviews if you're looking for collection development, but it's going to speak to technology, you know, circulation, kind of all the issues you may work within the library.
[00:10:18.299]
So always like to highlight that one for our library folks.
[00:10:24.443]
And then we get into, again, what I mentioned, the Gail Onefowl collection. So these are
[00:10:30.989]
subject specific. You can again see just from their title what they're about. And for the most part, a lot of their content is coming out of Gale Academic One File and Gale General One File.
[00:10:41.864]
But they are small collections, so they can really zero in. So for example, the information science collection is one of those. But in this case, you've got
[00:10:53.866]
say title or collections that focus on diversity studies, culinary arts, criminal justice.
[00:10:58.863]
And you get a much more select
[00:11:01.708]
group of results because you're working with, you know, kind of depending on the collection we're looking at anywhere from a few hundred sources up to maybe 3000 or so. So they're much smaller than the bigger academic one file and general one file. So much more targeted collections. And I always like to mention them, you may not need all of them depending on the programs you offer at your institution. Some of these may be of more interest than others.
[00:11:26.442]
But you do have access to all of them. So they're really an excellent place to zero in on a particular subject area.
[00:11:36.150]
So before I dive in, I am going to tap Sarah, who has joined us to see if there's anything she'd like to add as she works specifically with academic libraries all the time to see if there's anything to add. And actually, Sarah, I'm going to pop back to the slide.
[00:11:49.327]
I've got for
[00:11:52.274]
your group in case you want to maybe want to add anything about uh
[00:11:57.033]
your group while I've got you here on the line.
[00:11:59.859]
Yeah, nothing really to add at this moment. Thank you, Stacey. But as far as the academic outreach and engagement team, yeah, we're here to help. And we partner with academic institutions
[00:12:13.959]
Obviously, throughout the country. And we're really here to be a partner with you. We work with liaisons directly to engage departments and faculty. We do course alignments. We do help and creating, you know, course guides or lib guides for specific
[00:12:37.029]
courses or disciplines that libraries support. We work together with the library staff to kind of consult with you on how you might want a LibGuide to look. We'll create the guide with your bespoke
[00:12:51.121]
access URLs and content that we've outlined.
[00:12:56.208]
for your institution. We do all sorts of really interesting things to help drive usage and awareness of your resources. So if you do need any help whatsoever, and maybe it's just preparing for an instructional session with a particular class.
[00:13:17.634]
You can have one-to-ones with my team of training and engagement specialists, and we can sort of give you a little extra lift and momentum as you move forward and maybe give you some materials and tips to kind of help you prepare so you can take some of that work off of your plate.
[00:13:35.226]
And as I stated, we partner with a number of colleges and universities across the globe, really, and we have lots of best practices and strategies to share. So if we can ever be of assistance to you, you can fill out a form and request assistance at this URL that you see pointed on your screen, gail.com forward slash academic forward slash outreach dash engagement.
[00:14:00.294]
Or you can simply send an email to us and we'll be happy to help.
[00:14:05.036]
And if by any chance you know who your training and engagement specialist is, you can reach out to them directly as well.
[00:14:10.745]
But either way, feel free to reach out if we can be of any assistance to you at any point.
[00:14:18.440]
Absolutely. Thanks, Sarah. So again, really valuable team to get to know.
[00:14:22.402]
Alrighty, let's go ahead and dive into the resources. Again, I'm going to start here in academic one file. So this is the resource you might spend most of your time in.
[00:14:33.139]
And with the Gale Academic Lumpfowl Resources, they're all going to share a common interface. There's a one bell and whistle here in academic one file that I want to show off. You won't see in others. But for the most part, they're all going to work and act the same way. So as you move between them, it's really easy.
[00:14:52.290]
you know, the send to Google Drive button is in the same place in every resource. You don't have to hunt that down. The same search paths are available for the most part. Advanced search is going to work the same way in all of them. So it's really easy to move between the one file resources and we hope really all of your Gale resources with those kind of common tools.
[00:15:11.769]
Let's dive in here. Now, I know that when we see a search box, we tend to use it. We've all become very attuned to using tools like Google and Bing and that search box is just kind of where we live, right?
[00:15:23.815]
But I want to point out some other paths. We're going to get started with a few others that I think you'll find a lot of value in, particularly for a few of these when you're working with first year students.
[00:15:34.313]
Depending like how much research
[00:15:38.123]
students have done in their earlier academic careers and in high school and middle school and the like.
[00:15:43.471]
They may be coming to you with a really varied skill set in terms of research. And one of the ways we wanted to respond to that here in Academic One File is offering this browse by discipline path.
[00:15:55.413]
to get to those students in those classes that are often kind of taken in the first couple years of college. So we worked with our Cengage partners who produce textbooks to kind of define what would be most useful. Of course, we worked with our friends in the libraries as well to get feedback on this tool and came up with these nine disciplines where we found kids were going to the library and needed some extra help in
[00:16:21.082]
terms of research, because maybe these were courses they were taking that weren't specifically relating to a major. Maybe it was a requirement they had.
[00:16:28.210]
I needed a little extra help so
[00:16:30.840]
These nine disciplines are actually broken down by subjectaries, and we're going to go ahead and start here in psychology, often a popular elective for students.
[00:16:40.706]
And what we did is offer
[00:16:43.790]
these particular subject areas based on what we found in Cengage textbooks. So what does a table of contents look like for a psychology 101?
[00:16:52.892]
textbook and created these subject areas. And so we're looking, of course, at what's being studied in these psychology classes and then kind of matching them up here in our subject browse. And as you select.
[00:17:08.212]
We've done a little extra work too. If I go into, say, dreams and sleep.
[00:17:15.138]
We take results from only particular publications here. This would not be the same result I would get if I were to just do a regular search up there in the toolbar on dreams and sleep.
[00:17:26.805]
We're working with select publications here. So what we do here with academic journals is look at
[00:17:33.928]
what are publications that cover psychology? So you can see just from the titles of those first few that we have on the screen.
[00:17:41.968]
They're focusing on psychology.
[00:17:43.835]
We scroll a little further down looking at the magazine results, because this resource also has more general interest publications in it as well.
[00:17:50.840]
Doing the same thing here, either picking publications that are familiar, things they maybe would have seen on the newsstand or used in research before, or again, cover psychology.
[00:18:00.549]
And then same thing for news. Again, picking some publications they might be aware of, like the Washington Post, the New York Times, and so on.
[00:18:08.459]
So it's kind of a curated or not kind of, I should say it is a curated collection of sources that we're using in this result.
[00:18:18.148]
And it's, again, going to be
[00:18:21.682]
different from doing a regular search where we just pull from everywhere. And you get this kind of nice, concise
[00:18:28.673]
look at a few of the hits from each of the major content areas and we can see those across the top here as well. We can see our hit counts.
[00:18:36.545]
So you know how many we're dealing with. But it's a nice place to kind of start exploring a world
[00:18:42.876]
And it helped builds up information literacy
[00:18:47.174]
around the types of publications they're going to find in these resources and how we define them, why looking at academic journals is different than looking at magazines, right? So it's helping to reinforce that. And then, of course, you have all the filters over here on the right. So if we needed to go further, if we needed peer review publications, that's just a click. I can enable that. If I only want publications from a certain date range, I can take advantage of that, you know, certain publications
[00:19:11.495]
titles. So you can still filter even further.
[00:19:14.320]
But this is a nice way to kind of introduce the way we talk about, say, dreams and sleep and provide some results around that topic.
[00:19:22.316]
So it can be a little broad.
[00:19:26.842]
But it's definitely more selected than just putting in a search on dreams and sleep, right? So let's go down another path just to share another example.
[00:19:35.783]
So certainly right now.
[00:19:39.099]
Got a lot of talk around a certain event happening on November 5th.
[00:19:42.044]
We can explore our political science path here.
[00:19:46.924]
Hi, we have a…
[00:19:49.943]
dedicated path for presidential elections.
[00:19:54.012]
And one of the things that you'll find in the resources
[00:19:58.673]
is our get link tool here in the upper right hand corner. So what this is going to give me is a persistent URL.
[00:20:05.473]
So this is something I could share, say, on our library webpage, or maybe if we've created a live guide around the election or, you know, again, you could do this really on any path. This is just a URL, but what it does is always get you back to the same place. So you can engage folks with the content
[00:20:22.795]
where you've kind of done the work to get them to the result.
[00:20:26.032]
So this is
[00:20:27.306]
Always going to bring us back to the same place. And what's neat about it here when we are looking at results is it will actually update itself. So you'll get new content coming into all of these areas, the video, the news, the journals, as time goes on. So it consistently update with new content.
[00:20:47.509]
So you could certainly offer this path
[00:20:50.633]
right now to students and engage them with this content in the library.
[00:20:54.258]
And just reinforce the types of content they can find in the library.
[00:20:59.698]
So I'd encourage you to explore that academic
[00:21:03.856]
discipline browse right there from the homepage a bit. Again, when you've got those subject areas, certainly, you know, if I were looking for something outside of these, I'm going to opt for another search path.
[00:21:15.989]
that browse by Discipline is a really great tool, again, to help introduce academic research here with periodicals.
[00:21:23.957]
My other favorite path is to take folks down the subject guide search. So offer here again off the homepage, right from
[00:21:31.527]
the center of this bottom row.
[00:21:33.517]
We do a lot of work at Gale making sure you can find our content and or I should say find relevant content. So the Academic Browse is one example.
[00:21:43.435]
Other work that we've been doing since we created these databases is our own indexing. So we've created our own subject guide, our own controlled vocabulary, and you see it in action when you're looking at results. We kind of guide folks to those or our Galen context databases, you find browsable paths and are working with our controlled vocabulary there. You can actually
[00:22:04.867]
work that with that in our one file resources as well. The subject guide search
[00:22:09.391]
is going to offer our own controlled vocabulary. And while it's an extra step or two than using just that search box at the top of the page, it really gets you to
[00:22:20.712]
a much more relevant result often because of the different paths you can take. So for example.
[00:22:28.016]
say we're reading something by Toni Morrison in one of our lit classes
[00:22:32.837]
Our first stop is that controlled vocabulary. So it's checking in. If there were multiple people named Toni Morrison here, I'd see them. I can also see we've gotten some broken down by some of her works. I can maybe focus on the Toni Morrison Society should I need to, but I'm going to go ahead and guess we're mostly interested in this second here. Toni Morrison, we've got over 1,700 articles.
[00:22:55.954]
And I can subdivide them.
[00:22:58.087]
So I can narrow this down if I'm looking for, say, criticism and interpretation. I'm looking for
[00:23:04.763]
exhibits humor and anecdotes you can
[00:23:07.583]
really zero in working with these subdivisions and
[00:23:12.095]
thinking about if we're writing a paper on Toni Morrison, these are maybe things that I'll want to
[00:23:16.468]
choose to write about. And I've got it laid out here, different areas I might cover in my paper.
[00:23:22.926]
So say we're looking for criticism, I can go ahead and jump in.
[00:23:28.100]
And again, we end up at a result list. It looks going to look a little familiar from what we saw with the browse by discipline. However, what you'll find is we do keep the content type separate here. So I'm looking at a list of academic journals.
[00:23:40.688]
And I can switch over to magazines and news just here at the top of the page. But the academic journals are, of course, probably going to be the most popular. You can always narrow further again. Those filters are available again. So if I'm looking for immediate support, you can see actually there are going to be
[00:23:56.397]
This hit number four here is just a citation. If I want to eliminate those from my results, just to click on full text documents in there and it's gone. Now, depending on your institution, you may want those. You can find maybe the full text of that elsewhere in your institution. But if you're after kind of quick results, you can always just isolate to full text documents. Again, we can isolate to peer reviewed.
[00:24:19.453]
And I like our
[00:24:23.035]
search here. This is criticism for Toni Morrison. Let's take this a step further. Maybe I'm working with a student who's working on a dissertation or something, you know, maybe a semester long project.
[00:24:34.174]
Again, we talked about ways you can stay up to date. Well, here's our search alert up here in the toolbar, the very top of the, or not very top of the toolbar, but in our banner here, the search alert.
[00:24:44.980]
is going to perform my search for me and then either email me or if I use an RSS aggregator, it will update me there.
[00:24:52.985]
when there's new content.
[00:24:54.756]
So I choose, you know, email is very popular. I can give my email address, how often I want it to perform the search. I tend to leave that as daily so I can get it as quickly as possible. The format I want to receive it in. And then we do, because you're handing over an email address, we do require that the users be 18 years or older. So they just input their birth year here and then create the alert. You'll get a confirmation that it's set up in your email.
[00:25:18.718]
And then as new content comes in.
[00:25:21.899]
you'll get a digest of that new info. You can always unsubscribe. We are not doing anything with that email address other than sending you these updated articles. It's not being used for any marketing or anything like that. It is strictly to get you that new content.
[00:25:36.752]
So you can do this for any search or any topic you're interested in. So I've got a few of these set up for just a few of my favorite authors, you know, read new reviews as they come in, interviews, things like that.
[00:25:46.866]
But the search alert, of course, can be a great tool in professional development as well. So we'll talk about it a little more when we get to Gale One File Information Science too, but
[00:25:57.237]
Really handy way to stay up to date.
[00:25:59.996]
I'm going to let the database do the work for you.
[00:26:03.391]
Now, we've got a nice set of results here. Let's say I want to zero in on the bluest eye. I can come at that a couple different ways, but I like to search within. This is going to search within just the results that I have in front of me.
[00:26:19.143]
And we've narrowed down.
[00:26:23.892]
And just with a couple extra clicks, a couple extra steps, I've got a really nice result set here. Not too overwhelming, but just by working with the subject guide, working with the filters, it really encourages students to realize kind of the power of these databases rather than just say going out to Google or Bang and
[00:26:43.018]
putting in a search. And of course, all of this content is cited. We know where it came from. We know when it came from. And when I jump into any entry.
[00:26:51.266]
I've also got the ability to build my citation. So as I'm working on my Toni Morrison paper.
[00:26:56.732]
I'm creating, you know, my bibliography, I can use MLA, I can use APA Chicago
[00:27:01.802]
and export to other places as well. So it's doing that work for me.
[00:27:07.505]
And that URL that it's giving in the citation is actually going to bring you back
[00:27:13.464]
to the articles like the get link.
[00:27:15.769]
So you can always check your work.
[00:27:18.859]
Now, the works themselves, as you come into an article, you're going to have lots of options for what you can do with it. Now, this is a fairly lengthy article, but if I am more of a listener than a reader, I can have our listen tool read that article to me.
[00:27:32.441]
We have a lot of options for the way it works. You can go into the settings and speed it up or slow it down. You can disable the highlighting that's happening here.
[00:27:43.061]
If I don't want it, but it's a great way to, you know, makes it a little easier to follow along
[00:27:47.128]
But lots of ways to work with that listen tool. And here, let me go ahead and click play so you can. Revealing the commonalities, existing in depictions of disabled people
[00:27:56.171]
So we made an upgrade to the tool this summer. I think it's a much more natural sounding voice. So again, just helps to raise comprehension.
[00:28:04.797]
You've also got our on-demand language translation up to 50 languages here are available, or I think over 50 now, for translating.
[00:28:15.120]
We've got our font size tool, which I really like because it works with just the text of the article. You can always use the zoom button up in your browser. The databases are responsive to your screen size. And when you use the Zoom tool, it changes the whole page where when you use that font size tool, it works with just the text of the article. So I can make that kind of the best reading experience I need.
[00:28:35.927]
As well as the display options. So if I'm finding kind of the white and black text a little stark, I can switch to a sepia.
[00:28:41.733]
I have a nephew who's got a processing issue. He needs a blue or a green background on text to really see it correctly.
[00:28:48.496]
So I can make that change, change the font size, or sorry, not the font size, change the font itself
[00:28:54.306]
Open dyslexic is a popular choice here.
[00:28:58.174]
To help those readers, you can also change the line spacing
[00:29:00.540]
letter and word spacing as well. And what's nice is you make these changes
[00:29:06.970]
And then the other content you go to
[00:29:10.275]
I jump into another article.
[00:29:13.416]
Back out to my results here.
[00:29:16.119]
It's going to keep track of that. It's set a cookie. So if I'm on my own device, it will keep doing this until I clear out my cookies.
[00:29:23.134]
So same thing for the listen tools. If you make any uh
[00:29:26.455]
setting changes there, it will always keep track of those with a cookie as well.
[00:29:30.336]
So I'm going to go ahead and go back to the default settings though.
[00:29:34.775]
Just going to double check the chat and the Q&A. I think we're in good shape.
[00:29:40.520]
So let's take a few more
[00:29:44.090]
search paths now
[00:29:46.397]
I've shown you my favorite well
[00:29:49.665]
two of my three favorites. Let's go ahead though and use that search box up at the top of the page. Because again, when we see that, we're drawn to it, right? So again, kind of keeping our theme here, maybe with the election.
[00:30:03.012]
quick search on electoral College.
[00:30:05.288]
And this is, again, doing some work to make sure you're getting relevant articles. We're actually sorting our results by relevance here. Date plays a role, but as you can see from my first hit, it is not the most important thing. It's looking as diesel, the Electoral College appear as a subject heading? Is it part of the title? Is it part of the abstract and gives it more weight if it appears there than elsewhere. How long is the article?
[00:30:28.263]
It's taking in a lot of different things. But again, remember, we've always got our filters over on the right. So if I want more recent discussion around the
[00:30:40.011]
Electoral College, I can enter in a custom date range. I can use just the quick presets here. Let's go back just a few years.
[00:30:47.952]
say maybe to the last
[00:30:49.943]
presidential election.
[00:30:51.342]
And I might go back to January.
[00:30:56.266]
And I'll just go ahead and go through today.
[00:30:59.712]
So the filters, you'll see how I'll use them often. I particularly like them in the one file resources because there is such a vast amount of content.
[00:31:08.773]
So there we go. Everything's going to be
[00:31:10.709]
sorted still by relevance, I can change that too. I can make it the newest if that's what I'm after.
[00:31:16.338]
But the relevance algorithm works hard to make sure you're still getting relevant content at the top of your results.
[00:31:25.521]
And if I find something that is interesting, let's go ahead and pop in.
[00:31:30.826]
This first one. As I'm working through reading and entry.
[00:31:35.849]
I can do a little work on it while I'm reading it and assessing it for my research purposes. You can create your own highlights and notes throughout the document. Just click and drag as if you're going to copy and then use highlighters to, you know, we're going to talk maybe how you can, or we are going to talk about how you can define the colors you're using here in a minute, but you mark up these articles.
[00:32:02.307]
Right. And kind of do this pre-work
[00:32:06.439]
And you can
[00:32:10.643]
Again, I'm going to use a different color here so I can share an example of how we can define this later.
[00:32:15.954]
I'm just going to, I don't know that that's an opinion, but I'm going to go ahead and select it and sit in it. So as we go through, you can mark this up. And when you're working with an article.
[00:32:26.903]
That way you want to take it with you before you go. And you do that with any of our retrieval tools. So they show up here to the right of the article and we've got them up in our toolbar as well. So the retrieval options let you pull the content out of the database. So of course you can email it, you can download it, you can print. What's become the most popular path, though, is sending content to Google Drive.
[00:32:49.851]
So I apologize, folks. I meant to get signed into my account before we got started, but you can see that it prompts you to if you're not. Just takes a second and then it's off and lives in your Google Drive.
[00:33:01.861]
oh, you know what? Let me make sure I'm going to get into the right account here.
[00:33:07.936]
Monday morning, I normally have these things all ready to go.
[00:33:11.143]
All right. It's going to put it in a folder named after the database you're using, Gale Academic One File, and then there it is. And this is going to live in my Google Drive until I choose to get rid of it. My highlights and notes will appear as well. I've got them highlighted here in the text. And if I scroll all the way to the bottom.
[00:33:29.006]
It reprints them and shows my notes as well.
[00:33:32.198]
Along with my source citation, which I'm going to need.
[00:33:35.598]
Now, as you're doing this, let me go back out. I'm going to grab another few articles.
[00:33:42.198]
One of my other favorite features, I'm focusing on academic journals here, but let's take a look at another content type and move over to news.
[00:33:49.659]
And we've got a document type that our indexers assign as well. So along with the subject headings, they're also looking at, is this an editorial? Is it a cover story? Is it an interview?
[00:34:00.616]
And I can definitely use those to my advantage. So if I'm looking for opinions.
[00:34:04.872]
on the Electoral College.
[00:34:06.505]
Just isolate to editorial. I could look for maybe something like critical essay. Let's go ahead with editorial here since we're on the news.
[00:34:14.765]
And I'm picking those up. And again, I can mark up
[00:34:17.588]
this article.
[00:34:21.145]
as needed. And once you've built up
[00:34:24.965]
a bunch of highlights and notes, you can go ahead and view them all at once. If you click in the toolbar under highlights and notes, it will show you what you've done for this article, but then you can view them all.
[00:34:35.154]
and create a legend for the colors that you used in your highlighters. So here and again in the toolbar, we're going to look for labels.
[00:34:42.666]
And yellow.
[00:34:45.296]
maybe is what I want to do more research on.
[00:34:48.723]
and blues for opinions and that create your legend. You can then print and email this, send this to Google, download it, all of those same retrieval tools and work with just your highlights and notes.
[00:34:59.293]
Now, this content does get cleared out. You'll notice you get a little save warning here.
[00:35:04.352]
To protect user privacy, we clear all out all of your session information. So the highlights and notes you've created, the search history that's getting built as you're using the resource, we clear all that out when you're done with the database.
[00:35:17.352]
So.
[00:35:20.609]
You want to make sure, again, to take it with you before you go.
[00:35:25.354]
All right, just double checking my uh
[00:35:30.055]
last paths here. And just keep an eye on the clock. I do want to, let's go ahead and pop into another resource again. I want to show off some different content.
[00:35:37.444]
So again, academic one, but probably your go-to most often. And again, remember, you've got academic one file select, which is about half the size if you want to, you know, maybe just work with a smaller collection with some of those first year students. I will say though, browse by discipline is only available here in Gale Academic 1v. So if you want to take advantage of that more guided path.
[00:36:01.778]
you're definitely going to want to take advantage of Gale Academic on file. Subject guide search is available in all of them. And before I leave here, let me just point out, I mentioned that we always tell you how much content you're working with in the One File Resources.
[00:36:13.416]
Down here in the lower right-hand corner, you can see we've got over 155 million articles in the resource and it was, of course, updated today and will continue to. We update throughout the day.
[00:36:25.926]
All right, so let's take a look again. I do want to share that special collection.
[00:36:29.430]
for our library folks, I'm going to jump into Gail one file
[00:36:33.572]
information science. And I'm just using our Gale Common menu here. You, of course.
[00:36:39.527]
probably bypass this, which we encourage. The less clicks, the better, but just in case it didn't look familiar, wanted to mention what I was using there.
[00:36:47.270]
Again, we've got a repeat of
[00:36:50.974]
the interface, really. We've changed the cover image of the homepage, but we're going to have the same search paths again with the exception of that academic discipline browse. But for the most part, we are working with the same interface. So we're going to have all the same tools, all the same bells and whistles.
[00:37:06.039]
And I wanted to point out before we move too much further.
[00:37:10.312]
One other search path called publication search. This is where you can quickly check
[00:37:16.143]
If we've got a publication you're interested in.
[00:37:19.116]
And this is
[00:37:22.115]
browsable, but I'd encourage you to visit our support site where we have
[00:37:24.865]
big Excel worksheets that list all the publications. If you're looking for a bigger view.
[00:37:30.174]
But the list all publications is here. But again, remember the numbers for the one file resources. So if I'm interested in a publication, I want to see, do we have computers and libraries available here?
[00:37:41.825]
Now, I've got a little hint. Our search assist never suggests anything we don't have, so…
[00:37:46.903]
That's good news.
[00:37:49.175]
And I've got the publication comes from information today. I can browse through past issues. Just open up that Dropbox. I can see our coverage for it. So how far back do we have indexing? How far back do we have full text? It would let me know here if there was an embargo on the publication, if we have to wait for that full text. You can pull up a whole issue.
[00:38:09.614]
And browse through it.
[00:38:12.868]
You can also, if I pop back to the details page here.
[00:38:17.676]
set up a journal alert. So like we did with the search alert.
[00:38:22.247]
I can actually get notified when a new issue appears in the resource.
[00:38:26.702]
you know, subscribing individually to publications can add up. This is a great way, again, to kind of help maintain your own professional development and save a little money. This is a tool you want to let your instructors know about as well. It, again, can get very expensive, especially for academic publications. So you can basically subscribe through this resource and we'll let you know every time a new issue comes in.
[00:38:50.903]
So again, very handy to kind of let the resources do the work for you.
[00:38:57.663]
One more search path I want to give a shout out to is our topic finder. So this is our visual search tool.
[00:39:06.967]
All right, and what it's going to give me is
[00:39:10.915]
kind of a look at the language we use when we talk about a topic.
[00:39:17.217]
I give my poor typing today.
[00:39:20.230]
It's going out and searching the resource for artificial intelligence articles and it's going to bring back the top hits and then take the key terms from the first 100 words or so of our articles that came back in the result and create this almost like a word cloud. These tiles are representing those keywords.
[00:39:39.669]
And it's a heat map, things that are in red and orange are used more often than in
[00:39:45.123]
yellow and green.
[00:39:46.441]
I've got another visual cue here in the size of the cell. So certainly if it's a bigger cell, then it's got more content.
[00:39:56.202]
I'm also getting terminology. So as I'm reading about AI, these are words I'm going to see again and again. It can make the different connections. I can use these as other search terms.
[00:40:06.539]
to maybe narrow my search a bit.
[00:40:08.910]
And all of these, as you click.
[00:40:11.509]
are going to match up those results over on the right. So it's a little more engaging and again can be a little less overwhelming, kind of like using subject guide search or something like that, because we're not looking at just a list of hits. We've got something we can engage with and
[00:40:26.579]
Because we're only working with the top hits for this result, it's again just going to work and give us a little less
[00:40:33.947]
result, but very relevant still. So again, can be a little less overwhelming. You can also switch to our wheel view. Just choose the visualization up top. Some folks prefer this. But again, same idea, the colors, the size.
[00:40:48.902]
It's the same idea.
[00:40:51.592]
And it can even get narrower with some of these, the bigger pieces of pie or the tiles there.
[00:40:57.492]
give you some narrower terms to work with.
[00:41:03.317]
So really handy way to come at content. You can also take advantage of it after you've issued a search.
[00:41:11.977]
So I'm getting that same typo.
[00:41:15.416]
And we'll insert the search assist help me there.
[00:41:22.444]
When you're looking at a list of results, you'll notice over on the right, the topic finder exists there. But what I like that you can do here if you start this way with just a regular basic search, you can use the publication date, subjects, things like that, all of those filters.
[00:41:36.698]
So if I want to read about AI, but maybe just from the last year, right
[00:41:40.626]
and isolate that and then run
[00:41:43.632]
the topic finder and let's see how that changes
[00:41:48.712]
our results.
[00:41:50.415]
So different pop different terms are popping up with more prominence than it was before. We're getting some of the named AIs here as they become available in the last year, year and a half, right?
[00:42:04.174]
We have more
[00:42:05.794]
terms to work with. We're getting more language around the topic and can make more connections.
[00:42:10.825]
So it's a really engaging search. We find it is, again, those first and maybe second year students. It's a great way to kind of draw them in.
[00:42:19.966]
Give something a little more fun. My idea of fun may be a little different than a college student's, but it is a bit more engaging of a search path.
[00:42:29.077]
And then, of course, you've also got
[00:42:30.515]
Our last search, and then we'll start wrapping up here. I'll give you a quick look at power search.
[00:42:35.977]
You've got our advanced search. So this is always just a click away. And I do find library staff prefers this. It's not difficult to use, but we find that students tend to shy away from it a bit, but it really is very powerful because
[00:42:49.645]
You are the boss with advanced search. You have all of the different search paths, or I should say search fields available to you. So you can get very particular the same way you can with your catalog. If you know the title and author of the article you're looking for, you've got those specific fields to search on. You can even isolate to particular types of publications. For example, Yale Academic One File has some foreign language materials in it, so you could search by
[00:43:14.642]
publication language.
[00:43:16.247]
You've also got all of the search limiters available to you. So the same ones we see as filters on a search result page, we're going to have available to us to start with our search. And again, you'll have more options here, things like publication subject. So instead of typing in a particular subject, I'm looking for journals having to do with
[00:43:35.742]
academic libraries, I can isolate with a publication subject search without having to know each of their names and type them in under a publication limit.
[00:43:44.488]
You can work with Lexile measures here as well if that's of interest. So reading level tools there.
[00:43:51.035]
But again, what I really like is the ability to search in particular fields. And you'll see as you select different fields from the Dropbox here, it will give you a definition of where that's being searched. So keyword at Gale has always been key fields. So looking in the hotspots of every article, it's not reading the entire document, but you can switch to that.
[00:44:09.817]
And just find any mention of a topic in any document within the resource. And you can combine these. So let's say again, kind of following the same example.
[00:44:20.323]
I'm going to use
[00:44:21.954]
Maybe two different ones I like our keywords so that we're kind of looking in those hotspots. So I'm going to search for again.
[00:44:33.988]
artificial intelligence and go down a step. And I want specifically to find mention of library. So I'm going to use entire document.
[00:44:41.146]
And I'm also going to take advantage of one of our wild cards here.
[00:44:45.224]
So we have, if you look down below in our search tips tool, you can get to all of our
[00:44:51.536]
kind of special search tips for how the search engine works. So I'm using a wild card here. I'm using the asterisk sign that replaces zero or more characters. So it will pick up library, libraries, you know, librarian, you know, it's going to give me a little flexibility there. So you can impose that on the search engine. We do it when you're using basic search up there in the toolbar, we do a little bit of that implied.
[00:45:15.659]
Well, when you're here at advanced search, you can take advantage of some of those more specific tools.
[00:45:20.668]
So I can tie this together.
[00:45:22.799]
And again, I could add a filter here, maybe put in a date limit.
[00:45:26.061]
But specifically, giving it search instructions rather than kind of letting the search engine figure it out for me.
[00:45:32.695]
And again, we still start by relevance.
[00:45:36.006]
everything I told it is still being used as my search path, but that relevant sort just helps push the most relevant content to the top.
[00:45:45.088]
So I'll write one last thing and then I'll wrap up and let you all go for the day.
[00:45:50.138]
The Gale One Fowl resources, and actually our common menu is kind of a handy tool to be able to show this.
[00:45:55.723]
We have a lot of them, right? We talked about kind of the big three, Gale Academic one file, Gale General one found, Gale One Foul News. And then we talked about the Gale One File Collection. So all those smaller collections like diversity studies, fine arts, gardening and horticulture.
[00:46:09.497]
They're all available as their own collection.
[00:46:12.433]
But from our common menu, and you can actually get a direct link to this path as well. We can get you that on our support site.
[00:46:19.487]
Our product menu offers our cross search tools. So Gale Power Search
[00:46:24.469]
is going to allow you to pick up many of the Gale resources all in one fell swoop. And if I go ahead and click on it, you can actually see the list of what's available. It's going to let me cross search all of those scale one file resources. So the entire Gale One file product family, it can pick up all of those. Now, by default, the account I'm using here is one of the general novel New York accounts. So you may, when you come into the resource, there may be all pre
[00:46:49.456]
selected. I'll just use that little checkbox to get all of those. It's also going to pick up some of the Galen context resources. So with Novel New York, we offer Galen context opposing viewpoints.
[00:47:00.313]
If you had also Galen context, US history or
[00:47:04.248]
Yeah, the context science or something like that.
[00:47:07.932]
you would see that here as well. Gail in context middle school and elementary don't cross search, so they're not offered here.
[00:47:17.207]
And then if you have a
[00:47:22.709]
Yale ebook collection, you would see that listed here too.
[00:47:26.148]
Well, we can pick these all up at once and search and let's, I'm going to go ahead and kind of go back to my
[00:47:32.769]
electoral college example, it's just picking up all of the resources
[00:47:36.595]
that I've selected into one fell swoop.
[00:47:40.478]
And what I like about this, particularly having context opposing viewpoints is
[00:47:49.284]
That content's mostly going to flow to the books tab.
[00:47:51.855]
And I'll have good overviews for the electoral College. I'll have all those viewpoints. They will flow to this page as well as other handy reference content.
[00:47:59.565]
So you can see where your content's coming from.
[00:48:02.864]
for each result.
[00:48:06.218]
So this can be a time saver, but it is a lot of content.
[00:48:08.357]
So you kind of use it judiciously.
[00:48:12.485]
So I think there is something in the Q&A. Let me go ahead and check that. Is there a way to save or send your search results? Jessica, there is. I apologize. Let me jump back.
[00:48:22.116]
Gale Academic One File does offer
[00:48:24.895]
that tool. Let me, where's my menu?
[00:48:27.967]
Here we go. I apologize. I meant to show this it's
[00:48:31.958]
been around for, I think, a couple of years now, but I apologize, it hadn't been for a while so i i
[00:48:37.521]
overlooked it here in my prep. So let me go ahead and bring back a set of results here. I'm going to keep up with the
[00:48:45.674]
My.
[00:48:47.860]
I'll do a college search.
[00:48:50.301]
you'll see a checkbox next to results.
[00:48:54.723]
you can select those. I'm just going to go ahead and grab all one through 20 here and kind of scoop them up. You can, of course, you know, be a little more particular and select just the ones you want and then take advantage of our download tool. I can't send them all via email at once, but if you use the download tool, you can kind of grab them up
[00:49:14.991]
50 results at a time, or so, sorry, 50 results per session.
[00:49:20.513]
You can do this to full text download. And I believe, let me double check is that this works here. I think.
[00:49:28.151]
It creates a text file. So it's uh
[00:49:32.902]
working for me there. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Creates a zip file. And maybe I can call on Sarah here to remind me, do we get each article?
[00:49:41.404]
separately in that file, I think we must maybe as PDFs. Well, let's find out.
[00:49:52.084]
download.
[00:49:57.091]
Yes, it is. They are textiles. So here, let me drag this folder over. They are text files, but you will get one for each article. So you can do that for 50 articles during your session. So I've scooped up 20 here.
[00:50:08.832]
So I've got 30 left during this session. My next session, I'd have another 50 available. So that's the way to kind of scoop them up all at once. As we saw with the individual articles, you can always, again, send those to Google Drive or download or email, but that's, again, one by one. So I think you were looking for
[00:50:27.393]
kind of in one fell swoop, Jessica, but let me know if I read your question wrong.
[00:50:33.823]
So again, that's available in academic one file
[00:50:36.256]
Not all of the one file resources have that collection. It was most requested for academic info.
[00:50:44.624]
Alrighty, so let's wrap up and get you on your way. Of course, I am
[00:50:52.025]
Always have more things to tell you, but I don't want to cut into more of your day than I have.
[00:50:57.160]
Oh, good. Okay, thanks, Jessica. Appreciate that confirmation.
[00:51:00.099]
So our support page for Novel New York will offer up lots of great training materials. We've got example LibGuides there. We've got all the tech support as well. So if you want to create a link on your
[00:51:12.594]
you know, LibGuide for the economic policy collection or something like that, if you're not linking to it currently, you can always get your access URLs there. And then we've got lots of great marketing materials as well. So you can always take advantage, no need to recreate the wheel. We've got lots of digital assets, social media posts and the like.
[00:51:31.137]
And then that's, of course, on-demand help. But when you want to talk to someone at Gale, you've got your team to reach out. So again, we spoke about the academic outreach and engagement services team. I did have some registrations from other types of libraries, so I wanted to mention
[00:51:48.014]
Our customer success team for K-12 public and special libraries.
[00:51:51.929]
Again, they're there to help support you with your resources, make you successful with them, and they specialize by library type, as you can see. So they have a lot of success stories to share as well. I'm of course your trainer. You can feel free to reach out to me if you're not sure where to start. I'm a good place. I'm a librarian myself, so I know where to go if I don't have the answer.
[00:52:11.689]
And then our tech support's available. You can always get in touch with them if something doesn't seem right, doesn't, you know, maybe isn't loading or
[00:52:20.276]
you know running into an error. I always like to share the 800 number for tech support because if you're having a problem that's stopping you from using the database, I think that's worth a phone call and talk to somebody right away.
[00:52:29.831]
You can always get in touch with them via email as well.
[00:52:32.961]
And then, of course, your sales consultant would be more than happy to talk with you about other Gale resources and what might work for you.
[00:52:39.895]
And then again, that great on-demand support from our support site for Novel New York.
[00:52:45.180]
So don't suffer in silence. Reach out to your Gale teams when you have questions or feedback for us. It's really important. You know, a lot of the bells and whistles in our databases nowadays came from customer requests. So we're always eager to hear how you're using these resources and what we can be doing better. So I'm going to stick around and see if any other questions should come up, but if you're all set, go ahead and feel free to drop off. I apologize for
[00:53:09.613]
keeping you later, I probably should have scheduled this session for an hour.
[00:53:13.295]
I'll remember that for next time. But thanks everybody for tuning in.
All right. Hello and welcome to our Novel New York Periodical Perspectives, Harnessing the Power of Digital Periodical Resources for Academic Libraries. Glad to have you all virtually this morning to walk you through some of the periodical resources available for Novel New York that would be most popular in our academic libraries.
[00:00:24.192]
I have an agenda.
[00:00:27.015]
But really, I like this to be your session.
[00:00:29.483]
I'm going to talk a bit about what I have planned to show you, but do feel free to share in the chat and the Q&A anytime what you're really interested in seeing so that I can make sure to fit those needs. So just do a quick refresher on what's available for Novel New York and then share best practices for searching and retrieving content out of our periodical resources.
[00:00:51.033]
And how you can stay up to date with our search, our alerts and journal alerts within our periodical resources.
[00:00:56.195]
And then we're going to spend just a minute or two sharing our cross-search tool, Gale Power Search, which picks up
[00:01:04.057]
all of the periodical resources plus a few others and can be a time saver. And I want to share how you can find that.
[00:01:11.140]
And then as we always do, we'll wrap up with support Gail support. So where can you go after today when you've got questions? We've got lots of on-demand support, but we, of course, also want to make sure that you're aware of your teams.
[00:01:22.395]
at Gale and who you can reach out to directly for help.
[00:01:27.479]
That's our plan.
[00:01:31.790]
I did want to spend a minute before we dive into kind of the meat of the session.
[00:01:36.138]
about our academic outreach and engagement teams. These folks are there to help provide personalized support to integrating your Gale content into research instruction across the campus. So certainly these are always standouts in the library, but they can help support the work that's happening in classrooms as well. So you can always find the team by visiting their website and I'll share this.
[00:02:01.153]
follow-up email around this time tomorrow, and I'll share all of this contact info in it. You can also reach out directly to the team though. So if you have a question, maybe you're
[00:02:10.649]
looking to put together a live guide or something around a particular class, they can help with that kind of thing. You can talk to them about usage statistics.
[00:02:17.580]
They really are a great support. Definitely take advantage of this team. And what's nice is they specialize in academic institutions. So they have ideas from what other places have done. They, of course, are going to know the Novel New York program. So it's a great team to reach out to and get just a little extra support for your Gale resources as needed. So certainly the things that you get from Novel New York, but of course anything else that you may
[00:02:42.898]
purchase on your own as well. And depending on our schedule, we may have the leader of that team, Sarah Tarpley, join us a little later, and she may pop up in the chat and the Q&A as we're going through here.
[00:02:55.649]
So let's go ahead and dive in. Again, give that kind of quick refresher about what's available from Novel New York from Yale.
[00:03:02.289]
The program was updated this summer. We added some new resources. We're thrilled to be able to offer those. Gail One Fow Leadership and Management is a resource about kind of professional development, leadership and business that can be a great tool to go along with
[00:03:19.401]
say your business courses or really anybody interested in management.
[00:03:24.018]
Peterson's test and career prep.
[00:03:25.366]
has a lot of great tools that can suit college students, for example, practice tests for CLEP exams, and certainly there's a great college search, both undergrad and
[00:03:36.876]
grad school, so if you've got students who are looking to head on and grab a master's or something or maybe transferring, you've got a lot of great support there.
[00:03:44.254]
You also have access to our readers advisory tool, Gale Books and Authors, if you've got any kind of pleasure readers who maybe are looking for something fun to read next.
[00:03:54.131]
Yale Business Entrepreneurship is a great new addition for those who are maybe thinking of pursuing their own business, starting their own business.
[00:04:00.310]
And then lastly, Gale Legal Forms is a great tool for everyday legal support. So, you know, maybe
[00:04:09.238]
figuring out a lease on an apartment while you're in school or something like that. Lots of good tools there. So as well as all the resources that have been available from Novel New York through years and actually Gale Periodicals are one of those kind of standby. So let's get into those a little bit more specifically. And I am going to go ahead. I'm just going to disable my video for the rest of the session so my
[00:04:30.302]
My video screen isn't blocking a portion of the screen later in the recording.
[00:04:35.818]
So let me go ahead and disable that so I'm not blocking anything there.
[00:04:41.963]
So let's dive in.
[00:04:44.102]
When you're talking about Gale periodicals, the product family that they belong to is called Gale One File. So if you see that as part of the logo or
[00:04:52.599]
You know, on any of our documentation and certainly in the product itself, whenever you see Gale One file, that's going to equal a primarily periodical resource.
[00:05:02.354]
And the one we're going to probably spend most of our time in
[00:05:07.042]
Sorry, I'm having a little trouble advancing my slides there, is Gale Academic One Fow. So this has been a standard in libraries for years and years. It focuses on, of course, academic and scholarly publications. You've got over 17,000 sources in this resource.
[00:05:21.638]
And it goes back, it's got a deep back value. You might even find content from the late 70s there. And it just keeps getting bigger.
[00:05:29.826]
One of the things I'm going to point out
[00:05:32.888]
When we get into the resources on the homepage, you can actually see the current article count in these resources and
[00:05:38.038]
It's big numbers. So you've got a huge wealth of information here and a wide variety of content. It is going to hit on all the areas of study you're going to find at your institutions.
[00:05:50.741]
It can be a big resource to deal with those. So with Novel New York, you also have access to Gale Academic One File Select, which is about half the size. So that might be a good place to get first year students started. It can be just a smaller result set, a little
[00:06:07.328]
smaller collection of resources to work with, maybe lessen, you know, some overwhelm that you might find in the bigger resource.
[00:06:15.563]
However, I'm also going to share some tips for doing that in general when you're working with such a big
[00:06:20.696]
collection of resources.
[00:06:22.200]
I'm going to share some tips on the different search paths you can take to help manage that a little.
[00:06:28.629]
We also have our more kind of public library resource, Gale General One file available through Novel New York. So this is more general interest periodicals, the things you might pick up at the newsstand or find on the shelf in the bookstore. Also a large resource. And again, I'm going to share later with Gail Power Search, you can actually scoop these up and search them together.
[00:06:52.561]
And again, great fit for public libraries or more general interest topics. It is going to have some academic sources as well, but
[00:06:59.258]
You know, if that's what you're after, you're really better off in Gell Academic 1.
[00:07:04.659]
And then Gail, once our news is our big
[00:07:08.040]
newspaper database. Newspapers, news wires from across the country and around the world.
[00:07:14.544]
Like all of the one file resources, these are updated daily. So for several papers, you'll find today's paper in there today.
[00:07:22.911]
So great place to pick up on current news.
[00:07:27.001]
Again, from around the world and of course here in the US.
[00:07:30.701]
And it does have unique titles that you wouldn't find in academic one file. So all of these will have a bit of overlap, but they really are their own discrete pub
[00:07:41.080]
collections so
[00:07:43.201]
While they have a few subtitles in common, they are worthwhile to kind of go in on their own. Or again, we're going to talk about Gail Power Search, where we could scoop them all up into one big search.
[00:07:56.406]
So continuing through what's available, you also have Gale Onefowl in Forme Academico.
[00:08:03.711]
And this is a collection of full text Spanish language scholarly journals, magazines, and actually newspapers as well. There is a handful of publications in Portuguese, but the bulk of the content is in Spanish. So this can be a great fit for any Spanish speaking users. It is also, you know, maybe an excellent tool for those majoring in Spanish and looking for publications
[00:08:27.967]
to test themselves or again, just do more research.
[00:08:32.156]
And you have the ability
[00:08:36.037]
is needed, I will say I need the ability, the interface by default is available in Spanish, but you can actually change that in all of our databases. There's an option to change the interface language so you can actually have an English interface on it should you need it, which again, in my case, I would need, because I don't speak Spanish, but that's a handy tool if you're in the same boat.
[00:08:57.218]
You also have access to Gale One File Health and Medicine. And these databases aren't named accidentally, so I imagine you can guess what's there.
[00:09:06.995]
Covering the complete range of healthcare topics, so perfect for those in any sort of health or medical related program.
[00:09:14.343]
You've got more than 3,000 non-embargo full text periodicals. There's some reference content as well. So this is another bit of content that's great for first year students that reference content is written maybe more for the patient in some cases, depending on the work you're working with.
[00:09:30.813]
But it can be a good kind of first step and then get into the more academic and scholarly publications that are there.
[00:09:38.772]
And then what I always like to mention is Gail Onefowl Information Science for our librarians and folks who work in the library. This collection is a smaller one. We're going to talk a little bit about what we call the Gale One File Collections. This is one of them, but I like to give it a highlight because, of course, who I have on the webinar today. So this is a great collection for your own professional development or
[00:10:01.577]
you know, kind of any research into the library world itself, and it covers all aspects. So certainly you're going to find great sources there for reviews if you're looking for collection development, but it's going to speak to technology, you know, circulation, kind of all the issues you may work within the library.
[00:10:18.299]
So always like to highlight that one for our library folks.
[00:10:24.443]
And then we get into, again, what I mentioned, the Gail Onefowl collection. So these are
[00:10:30.989]
subject specific. You can again see just from their title what they're about. And for the most part, a lot of their content is coming out of Gale Academic One File and Gale General One File.
[00:10:41.864]
But they are small collections, so they can really zero in. So for example, the information science collection is one of those. But in this case, you've got
[00:10:53.866]
say title or collections that focus on diversity studies, culinary arts, criminal justice.
[00:10:58.863]
And you get a much more select
[00:11:01.708]
group of results because you're working with, you know, kind of depending on the collection we're looking at anywhere from a few hundred sources up to maybe 3000 or so. So they're much smaller than the bigger academic one file and general one file. So much more targeted collections. And I always like to mention them, you may not need all of them depending on the programs you offer at your institution. Some of these may be of more interest than others.
[00:11:26.442]
But you do have access to all of them. So they're really an excellent place to zero in on a particular subject area.
[00:11:36.150]
So before I dive in, I am going to tap Sarah, who has joined us to see if there's anything she'd like to add as she works specifically with academic libraries all the time to see if there's anything to add. And actually, Sarah, I'm going to pop back to the slide.
[00:11:49.327]
I've got for
[00:11:52.274]
your group in case you want to maybe want to add anything about uh
[00:11:57.033]
your group while I've got you here on the line.
[00:11:59.859]
Yeah, nothing really to add at this moment. Thank you, Stacey. But as far as the academic outreach and engagement team, yeah, we're here to help. And we partner with academic institutions
[00:12:13.959]
Obviously, throughout the country. And we're really here to be a partner with you. We work with liaisons directly to engage departments and faculty. We do course alignments. We do help and creating, you know, course guides or lib guides for specific
[00:12:37.029]
courses or disciplines that libraries support. We work together with the library staff to kind of consult with you on how you might want a LibGuide to look. We'll create the guide with your bespoke
[00:12:51.121]
access URLs and content that we've outlined.
[00:12:56.208]
for your institution. We do all sorts of really interesting things to help drive usage and awareness of your resources. So if you do need any help whatsoever, and maybe it's just preparing for an instructional session with a particular class.
[00:13:17.634]
You can have one-to-ones with my team of training and engagement specialists, and we can sort of give you a little extra lift and momentum as you move forward and maybe give you some materials and tips to kind of help you prepare so you can take some of that work off of your plate.
[00:13:35.226]
And as I stated, we partner with a number of colleges and universities across the globe, really, and we have lots of best practices and strategies to share. So if we can ever be of assistance to you, you can fill out a form and request assistance at this URL that you see pointed on your screen, gail.com forward slash academic forward slash outreach dash engagement.
[00:14:00.294]
Or you can simply send an email to us and we'll be happy to help.
[00:14:05.036]
And if by any chance you know who your training and engagement specialist is, you can reach out to them directly as well.
[00:14:10.745]
But either way, feel free to reach out if we can be of any assistance to you at any point.
[00:14:18.440]
Absolutely. Thanks, Sarah. So again, really valuable team to get to know.
[00:14:22.402]
Alrighty, let's go ahead and dive into the resources. Again, I'm going to start here in academic one file. So this is the resource you might spend most of your time in.
[00:14:33.139]
And with the Gale Academic Lumpfowl Resources, they're all going to share a common interface. There's a one bell and whistle here in academic one file that I want to show off. You won't see in others. But for the most part, they're all going to work and act the same way. So as you move between them, it's really easy.
[00:14:52.290]
you know, the send to Google Drive button is in the same place in every resource. You don't have to hunt that down. The same search paths are available for the most part. Advanced search is going to work the same way in all of them. So it's really easy to move between the one file resources and we hope really all of your Gale resources with those kind of common tools.
[00:15:11.769]
Let's dive in here. Now, I know that when we see a search box, we tend to use it. We've all become very attuned to using tools like Google and Bing and that search box is just kind of where we live, right?
[00:15:23.815]
But I want to point out some other paths. We're going to get started with a few others that I think you'll find a lot of value in, particularly for a few of these when you're working with first year students.
[00:15:34.313]
Depending like how much research
[00:15:38.123]
students have done in their earlier academic careers and in high school and middle school and the like.
[00:15:43.471]
They may be coming to you with a really varied skill set in terms of research. And one of the ways we wanted to respond to that here in Academic One File is offering this browse by discipline path.
[00:15:55.413]
to get to those students in those classes that are often kind of taken in the first couple years of college. So we worked with our Cengage partners who produce textbooks to kind of define what would be most useful. Of course, we worked with our friends in the libraries as well to get feedback on this tool and came up with these nine disciplines where we found kids were going to the library and needed some extra help in
[00:16:21.082]
terms of research, because maybe these were courses they were taking that weren't specifically relating to a major. Maybe it was a requirement they had.
[00:16:28.210]
I needed a little extra help so
[00:16:30.840]
These nine disciplines are actually broken down by subjectaries, and we're going to go ahead and start here in psychology, often a popular elective for students.
[00:16:40.706]
And what we did is offer
[00:16:43.790]
these particular subject areas based on what we found in Cengage textbooks. So what does a table of contents look like for a psychology 101?
[00:16:52.892]
textbook and created these subject areas. And so we're looking, of course, at what's being studied in these psychology classes and then kind of matching them up here in our subject browse. And as you select.
[00:17:08.212]
We've done a little extra work too. If I go into, say, dreams and sleep.
[00:17:15.138]
We take results from only particular publications here. This would not be the same result I would get if I were to just do a regular search up there in the toolbar on dreams and sleep.
[00:17:26.805]
We're working with select publications here. So what we do here with academic journals is look at
[00:17:33.928]
what are publications that cover psychology? So you can see just from the titles of those first few that we have on the screen.
[00:17:41.968]
They're focusing on psychology.
[00:17:43.835]
We scroll a little further down looking at the magazine results, because this resource also has more general interest publications in it as well.
[00:17:50.840]
Doing the same thing here, either picking publications that are familiar, things they maybe would have seen on the newsstand or used in research before, or again, cover psychology.
[00:18:00.549]
And then same thing for news. Again, picking some publications they might be aware of, like the Washington Post, the New York Times, and so on.
[00:18:08.459]
So it's kind of a curated or not kind of, I should say it is a curated collection of sources that we're using in this result.
[00:18:18.148]
And it's, again, going to be
[00:18:21.682]
different from doing a regular search where we just pull from everywhere. And you get this kind of nice, concise
[00:18:28.673]
look at a few of the hits from each of the major content areas and we can see those across the top here as well. We can see our hit counts.
[00:18:36.545]
So you know how many we're dealing with. But it's a nice place to kind of start exploring a world
[00:18:42.876]
And it helped builds up information literacy
[00:18:47.174]
around the types of publications they're going to find in these resources and how we define them, why looking at academic journals is different than looking at magazines, right? So it's helping to reinforce that. And then, of course, you have all the filters over here on the right. So if we needed to go further, if we needed peer review publications, that's just a click. I can enable that. If I only want publications from a certain date range, I can take advantage of that, you know, certain publications
[00:19:11.495]
titles. So you can still filter even further.
[00:19:14.320]
But this is a nice way to kind of introduce the way we talk about, say, dreams and sleep and provide some results around that topic.
[00:19:22.316]
So it can be a little broad.
[00:19:26.842]
But it's definitely more selected than just putting in a search on dreams and sleep, right? So let's go down another path just to share another example.
[00:19:35.783]
So certainly right now.
[00:19:39.099]
Got a lot of talk around a certain event happening on November 5th.
[00:19:42.044]
We can explore our political science path here.
[00:19:46.924]
Hi, we have a…
[00:19:49.943]
dedicated path for presidential elections.
[00:19:54.012]
And one of the things that you'll find in the resources
[00:19:58.673]
is our get link tool here in the upper right hand corner. So what this is going to give me is a persistent URL.
[00:20:05.473]
So this is something I could share, say, on our library webpage, or maybe if we've created a live guide around the election or, you know, again, you could do this really on any path. This is just a URL, but what it does is always get you back to the same place. So you can engage folks with the content
[00:20:22.795]
where you've kind of done the work to get them to the result.
[00:20:26.032]
So this is
[00:20:27.306]
Always going to bring us back to the same place. And what's neat about it here when we are looking at results is it will actually update itself. So you'll get new content coming into all of these areas, the video, the news, the journals, as time goes on. So it consistently update with new content.
[00:20:47.509]
So you could certainly offer this path
[00:20:50.633]
right now to students and engage them with this content in the library.
[00:20:54.258]
And just reinforce the types of content they can find in the library.
[00:20:59.698]
So I'd encourage you to explore that academic
[00:21:03.856]
discipline browse right there from the homepage a bit. Again, when you've got those subject areas, certainly, you know, if I were looking for something outside of these, I'm going to opt for another search path.
[00:21:15.989]
that browse by Discipline is a really great tool, again, to help introduce academic research here with periodicals.
[00:21:23.957]
My other favorite path is to take folks down the subject guide search. So offer here again off the homepage, right from
[00:21:31.527]
the center of this bottom row.
[00:21:33.517]
We do a lot of work at Gale making sure you can find our content and or I should say find relevant content. So the Academic Browse is one example.
[00:21:43.435]
Other work that we've been doing since we created these databases is our own indexing. So we've created our own subject guide, our own controlled vocabulary, and you see it in action when you're looking at results. We kind of guide folks to those or our Galen context databases, you find browsable paths and are working with our controlled vocabulary there. You can actually
[00:22:04.867]
work that with that in our one file resources as well. The subject guide search
[00:22:09.391]
is going to offer our own controlled vocabulary. And while it's an extra step or two than using just that search box at the top of the page, it really gets you to
[00:22:20.712]
a much more relevant result often because of the different paths you can take. So for example.
[00:22:28.016]
say we're reading something by Toni Morrison in one of our lit classes
[00:22:32.837]
Our first stop is that controlled vocabulary. So it's checking in. If there were multiple people named Toni Morrison here, I'd see them. I can also see we've gotten some broken down by some of her works. I can maybe focus on the Toni Morrison Society should I need to, but I'm going to go ahead and guess we're mostly interested in this second here. Toni Morrison, we've got over 1,700 articles.
[00:22:55.954]
And I can subdivide them.
[00:22:58.087]
So I can narrow this down if I'm looking for, say, criticism and interpretation. I'm looking for
[00:23:04.763]
exhibits humor and anecdotes you can
[00:23:07.583]
really zero in working with these subdivisions and
[00:23:12.095]
thinking about if we're writing a paper on Toni Morrison, these are maybe things that I'll want to
[00:23:16.468]
choose to write about. And I've got it laid out here, different areas I might cover in my paper.
[00:23:22.926]
So say we're looking for criticism, I can go ahead and jump in.
[00:23:28.100]
And again, we end up at a result list. It looks going to look a little familiar from what we saw with the browse by discipline. However, what you'll find is we do keep the content type separate here. So I'm looking at a list of academic journals.
[00:23:40.688]
And I can switch over to magazines and news just here at the top of the page. But the academic journals are, of course, probably going to be the most popular. You can always narrow further again. Those filters are available again. So if I'm looking for immediate support, you can see actually there are going to be
[00:23:56.397]
This hit number four here is just a citation. If I want to eliminate those from my results, just to click on full text documents in there and it's gone. Now, depending on your institution, you may want those. You can find maybe the full text of that elsewhere in your institution. But if you're after kind of quick results, you can always just isolate to full text documents. Again, we can isolate to peer reviewed.
[00:24:19.453]
And I like our
[00:24:23.035]
search here. This is criticism for Toni Morrison. Let's take this a step further. Maybe I'm working with a student who's working on a dissertation or something, you know, maybe a semester long project.
[00:24:34.174]
Again, we talked about ways you can stay up to date. Well, here's our search alert up here in the toolbar, the very top of the, or not very top of the toolbar, but in our banner here, the search alert.
[00:24:44.980]
is going to perform my search for me and then either email me or if I use an RSS aggregator, it will update me there.
[00:24:52.985]
when there's new content.
[00:24:54.756]
So I choose, you know, email is very popular. I can give my email address, how often I want it to perform the search. I tend to leave that as daily so I can get it as quickly as possible. The format I want to receive it in. And then we do, because you're handing over an email address, we do require that the users be 18 years or older. So they just input their birth year here and then create the alert. You'll get a confirmation that it's set up in your email.
[00:25:18.718]
And then as new content comes in.
[00:25:21.899]
you'll get a digest of that new info. You can always unsubscribe. We are not doing anything with that email address other than sending you these updated articles. It's not being used for any marketing or anything like that. It is strictly to get you that new content.
[00:25:36.752]
So you can do this for any search or any topic you're interested in. So I've got a few of these set up for just a few of my favorite authors, you know, read new reviews as they come in, interviews, things like that.
[00:25:46.866]
But the search alert, of course, can be a great tool in professional development as well. So we'll talk about it a little more when we get to Gale One File Information Science too, but
[00:25:57.237]
Really handy way to stay up to date.
[00:25:59.996]
I'm going to let the database do the work for you.
[00:26:03.391]
Now, we've got a nice set of results here. Let's say I want to zero in on the bluest eye. I can come at that a couple different ways, but I like to search within. This is going to search within just the results that I have in front of me.
[00:26:19.143]
And we've narrowed down.
[00:26:23.892]
And just with a couple extra clicks, a couple extra steps, I've got a really nice result set here. Not too overwhelming, but just by working with the subject guide, working with the filters, it really encourages students to realize kind of the power of these databases rather than just say going out to Google or Bang and
[00:26:43.018]
putting in a search. And of course, all of this content is cited. We know where it came from. We know when it came from. And when I jump into any entry.
[00:26:51.266]
I've also got the ability to build my citation. So as I'm working on my Toni Morrison paper.
[00:26:56.732]
I'm creating, you know, my bibliography, I can use MLA, I can use APA Chicago
[00:27:01.802]
and export to other places as well. So it's doing that work for me.
[00:27:07.505]
And that URL that it's giving in the citation is actually going to bring you back
[00:27:13.464]
to the articles like the get link.
[00:27:15.769]
So you can always check your work.
[00:27:18.859]
Now, the works themselves, as you come into an article, you're going to have lots of options for what you can do with it. Now, this is a fairly lengthy article, but if I am more of a listener than a reader, I can have our listen tool read that article to me.
[00:27:32.441]
We have a lot of options for the way it works. You can go into the settings and speed it up or slow it down. You can disable the highlighting that's happening here.
[00:27:43.061]
If I don't want it, but it's a great way to, you know, makes it a little easier to follow along
[00:27:47.128]
But lots of ways to work with that listen tool. And here, let me go ahead and click play so you can. Revealing the commonalities, existing in depictions of disabled people
[00:27:56.171]
So we made an upgrade to the tool this summer. I think it's a much more natural sounding voice. So again, just helps to raise comprehension.
[00:28:04.797]
You've also got our on-demand language translation up to 50 languages here are available, or I think over 50 now, for translating.
[00:28:15.120]
We've got our font size tool, which I really like because it works with just the text of the article. You can always use the zoom button up in your browser. The databases are responsive to your screen size. And when you use the Zoom tool, it changes the whole page where when you use that font size tool, it works with just the text of the article. So I can make that kind of the best reading experience I need.
[00:28:35.927]
As well as the display options. So if I'm finding kind of the white and black text a little stark, I can switch to a sepia.
[00:28:41.733]
I have a nephew who's got a processing issue. He needs a blue or a green background on text to really see it correctly.
[00:28:48.496]
So I can make that change, change the font size, or sorry, not the font size, change the font itself
[00:28:54.306]
Open dyslexic is a popular choice here.
[00:28:58.174]
To help those readers, you can also change the line spacing
[00:29:00.540]
letter and word spacing as well. And what's nice is you make these changes
[00:29:06.970]
And then the other content you go to
[00:29:10.275]
I jump into another article.
[00:29:13.416]
Back out to my results here.
[00:29:16.119]
It's going to keep track of that. It's set a cookie. So if I'm on my own device, it will keep doing this until I clear out my cookies.
[00:29:23.134]
So same thing for the listen tools. If you make any uh
[00:29:26.455]
setting changes there, it will always keep track of those with a cookie as well.
[00:29:30.336]
So I'm going to go ahead and go back to the default settings though.
[00:29:34.775]
Just going to double check the chat and the Q&A. I think we're in good shape.
[00:29:40.520]
So let's take a few more
[00:29:44.090]
search paths now
[00:29:46.397]
I've shown you my favorite well
[00:29:49.665]
two of my three favorites. Let's go ahead though and use that search box up at the top of the page. Because again, when we see that, we're drawn to it, right? So again, kind of keeping our theme here, maybe with the election.
[00:30:03.012]
quick search on electoral College.
[00:30:05.288]
And this is, again, doing some work to make sure you're getting relevant articles. We're actually sorting our results by relevance here. Date plays a role, but as you can see from my first hit, it is not the most important thing. It's looking as diesel, the Electoral College appear as a subject heading? Is it part of the title? Is it part of the abstract and gives it more weight if it appears there than elsewhere. How long is the article?
[00:30:28.263]
It's taking in a lot of different things. But again, remember, we've always got our filters over on the right. So if I want more recent discussion around the
[00:30:40.011]
Electoral College, I can enter in a custom date range. I can use just the quick presets here. Let's go back just a few years.
[00:30:47.952]
say maybe to the last
[00:30:49.943]
presidential election.
[00:30:51.342]
And I might go back to January.
[00:30:56.266]
And I'll just go ahead and go through today.
[00:30:59.712]
So the filters, you'll see how I'll use them often. I particularly like them in the one file resources because there is such a vast amount of content.
[00:31:08.773]
So there we go. Everything's going to be
[00:31:10.709]
sorted still by relevance, I can change that too. I can make it the newest if that's what I'm after.
[00:31:16.338]
But the relevance algorithm works hard to make sure you're still getting relevant content at the top of your results.
[00:31:25.521]
And if I find something that is interesting, let's go ahead and pop in.
[00:31:30.826]
This first one. As I'm working through reading and entry.
[00:31:35.849]
I can do a little work on it while I'm reading it and assessing it for my research purposes. You can create your own highlights and notes throughout the document. Just click and drag as if you're going to copy and then use highlighters to, you know, we're going to talk maybe how you can, or we are going to talk about how you can define the colors you're using here in a minute, but you mark up these articles.
[00:32:02.307]
Right. And kind of do this pre-work
[00:32:06.439]
And you can
[00:32:10.643]
Again, I'm going to use a different color here so I can share an example of how we can define this later.
[00:32:15.954]
I'm just going to, I don't know that that's an opinion, but I'm going to go ahead and select it and sit in it. So as we go through, you can mark this up. And when you're working with an article.
[00:32:26.903]
That way you want to take it with you before you go. And you do that with any of our retrieval tools. So they show up here to the right of the article and we've got them up in our toolbar as well. So the retrieval options let you pull the content out of the database. So of course you can email it, you can download it, you can print. What's become the most popular path, though, is sending content to Google Drive.
[00:32:49.851]
So I apologize, folks. I meant to get signed into my account before we got started, but you can see that it prompts you to if you're not. Just takes a second and then it's off and lives in your Google Drive.
[00:33:01.861]
oh, you know what? Let me make sure I'm going to get into the right account here.
[00:33:07.936]
Monday morning, I normally have these things all ready to go.
[00:33:11.143]
All right. It's going to put it in a folder named after the database you're using, Gale Academic One File, and then there it is. And this is going to live in my Google Drive until I choose to get rid of it. My highlights and notes will appear as well. I've got them highlighted here in the text. And if I scroll all the way to the bottom.
[00:33:29.006]
It reprints them and shows my notes as well.
[00:33:32.198]
Along with my source citation, which I'm going to need.
[00:33:35.598]
Now, as you're doing this, let me go back out. I'm going to grab another few articles.
[00:33:42.198]
One of my other favorite features, I'm focusing on academic journals here, but let's take a look at another content type and move over to news.
[00:33:49.659]
And we've got a document type that our indexers assign as well. So along with the subject headings, they're also looking at, is this an editorial? Is it a cover story? Is it an interview?
[00:34:00.616]
And I can definitely use those to my advantage. So if I'm looking for opinions.
[00:34:04.872]
on the Electoral College.
[00:34:06.505]
Just isolate to editorial. I could look for maybe something like critical essay. Let's go ahead with editorial here since we're on the news.
[00:34:14.765]
And I'm picking those up. And again, I can mark up
[00:34:17.588]
this article.
[00:34:21.145]
as needed. And once you've built up
[00:34:24.965]
a bunch of highlights and notes, you can go ahead and view them all at once. If you click in the toolbar under highlights and notes, it will show you what you've done for this article, but then you can view them all.
[00:34:35.154]
and create a legend for the colors that you used in your highlighters. So here and again in the toolbar, we're going to look for labels.
[00:34:42.666]
And yellow.
[00:34:45.296]
maybe is what I want to do more research on.
[00:34:48.723]
and blues for opinions and that create your legend. You can then print and email this, send this to Google, download it, all of those same retrieval tools and work with just your highlights and notes.
[00:34:59.293]
Now, this content does get cleared out. You'll notice you get a little save warning here.
[00:35:04.352]
To protect user privacy, we clear all out all of your session information. So the highlights and notes you've created, the search history that's getting built as you're using the resource, we clear all that out when you're done with the database.
[00:35:17.352]
So.
[00:35:20.609]
You want to make sure, again, to take it with you before you go.
[00:35:25.354]
All right, just double checking my uh
[00:35:30.055]
last paths here. And just keep an eye on the clock. I do want to, let's go ahead and pop into another resource again. I want to show off some different content.
[00:35:37.444]
So again, academic one, but probably your go-to most often. And again, remember, you've got academic one file select, which is about half the size if you want to, you know, maybe just work with a smaller collection with some of those first year students. I will say though, browse by discipline is only available here in Gale Academic 1v. So if you want to take advantage of that more guided path.
[00:36:01.778]
you're definitely going to want to take advantage of Gale Academic on file. Subject guide search is available in all of them. And before I leave here, let me just point out, I mentioned that we always tell you how much content you're working with in the One File Resources.
[00:36:13.416]
Down here in the lower right-hand corner, you can see we've got over 155 million articles in the resource and it was, of course, updated today and will continue to. We update throughout the day.
[00:36:25.926]
All right, so let's take a look again. I do want to share that special collection.
[00:36:29.430]
for our library folks, I'm going to jump into Gail one file
[00:36:33.572]
information science. And I'm just using our Gale Common menu here. You, of course.
[00:36:39.527]
probably bypass this, which we encourage. The less clicks, the better, but just in case it didn't look familiar, wanted to mention what I was using there.
[00:36:47.270]
Again, we've got a repeat of
[00:36:50.974]
the interface, really. We've changed the cover image of the homepage, but we're going to have the same search paths again with the exception of that academic discipline browse. But for the most part, we are working with the same interface. So we're going to have all the same tools, all the same bells and whistles.
[00:37:06.039]
And I wanted to point out before we move too much further.
[00:37:10.312]
One other search path called publication search. This is where you can quickly check
[00:37:16.143]
If we've got a publication you're interested in.
[00:37:19.116]
And this is
[00:37:22.115]
browsable, but I'd encourage you to visit our support site where we have
[00:37:24.865]
big Excel worksheets that list all the publications. If you're looking for a bigger view.
[00:37:30.174]
But the list all publications is here. But again, remember the numbers for the one file resources. So if I'm interested in a publication, I want to see, do we have computers and libraries available here?
[00:37:41.825]
Now, I've got a little hint. Our search assist never suggests anything we don't have, so…
[00:37:46.903]
That's good news.
[00:37:49.175]
And I've got the publication comes from information today. I can browse through past issues. Just open up that Dropbox. I can see our coverage for it. So how far back do we have indexing? How far back do we have full text? It would let me know here if there was an embargo on the publication, if we have to wait for that full text. You can pull up a whole issue.
[00:38:09.614]
And browse through it.
[00:38:12.868]
You can also, if I pop back to the details page here.
[00:38:17.676]
set up a journal alert. So like we did with the search alert.
[00:38:22.247]
I can actually get notified when a new issue appears in the resource.
[00:38:26.702]
you know, subscribing individually to publications can add up. This is a great way, again, to kind of help maintain your own professional development and save a little money. This is a tool you want to let your instructors know about as well. It, again, can get very expensive, especially for academic publications. So you can basically subscribe through this resource and we'll let you know every time a new issue comes in.
[00:38:50.903]
So again, very handy to kind of let the resources do the work for you.
[00:38:57.663]
One more search path I want to give a shout out to is our topic finder. So this is our visual search tool.
[00:39:06.967]
All right, and what it's going to give me is
[00:39:10.915]
kind of a look at the language we use when we talk about a topic.
[00:39:17.217]
I give my poor typing today.
[00:39:20.230]
It's going out and searching the resource for artificial intelligence articles and it's going to bring back the top hits and then take the key terms from the first 100 words or so of our articles that came back in the result and create this almost like a word cloud. These tiles are representing those keywords.
[00:39:39.669]
And it's a heat map, things that are in red and orange are used more often than in
[00:39:45.123]
yellow and green.
[00:39:46.441]
I've got another visual cue here in the size of the cell. So certainly if it's a bigger cell, then it's got more content.
[00:39:56.202]
I'm also getting terminology. So as I'm reading about AI, these are words I'm going to see again and again. It can make the different connections. I can use these as other search terms.
[00:40:06.539]
to maybe narrow my search a bit.
[00:40:08.910]
And all of these, as you click.
[00:40:11.509]
are going to match up those results over on the right. So it's a little more engaging and again can be a little less overwhelming, kind of like using subject guide search or something like that, because we're not looking at just a list of hits. We've got something we can engage with and
[00:40:26.579]
Because we're only working with the top hits for this result, it's again just going to work and give us a little less
[00:40:33.947]
result, but very relevant still. So again, can be a little less overwhelming. You can also switch to our wheel view. Just choose the visualization up top. Some folks prefer this. But again, same idea, the colors, the size.
[00:40:48.902]
It's the same idea.
[00:40:51.592]
And it can even get narrower with some of these, the bigger pieces of pie or the tiles there.
[00:40:57.492]
give you some narrower terms to work with.
[00:41:03.317]
So really handy way to come at content. You can also take advantage of it after you've issued a search.
[00:41:11.977]
So I'm getting that same typo.
[00:41:15.416]
And we'll insert the search assist help me there.
[00:41:22.444]
When you're looking at a list of results, you'll notice over on the right, the topic finder exists there. But what I like that you can do here if you start this way with just a regular basic search, you can use the publication date, subjects, things like that, all of those filters.
[00:41:36.698]
So if I want to read about AI, but maybe just from the last year, right
[00:41:40.626]
and isolate that and then run
[00:41:43.632]
the topic finder and let's see how that changes
[00:41:48.712]
our results.
[00:41:50.415]
So different pop different terms are popping up with more prominence than it was before. We're getting some of the named AIs here as they become available in the last year, year and a half, right?
[00:42:04.174]
We have more
[00:42:05.794]
terms to work with. We're getting more language around the topic and can make more connections.
[00:42:10.825]
So it's a really engaging search. We find it is, again, those first and maybe second year students. It's a great way to kind of draw them in.
[00:42:19.966]
Give something a little more fun. My idea of fun may be a little different than a college student's, but it is a bit more engaging of a search path.
[00:42:29.077]
And then, of course, you've also got
[00:42:30.515]
Our last search, and then we'll start wrapping up here. I'll give you a quick look at power search.
[00:42:35.977]
You've got our advanced search. So this is always just a click away. And I do find library staff prefers this. It's not difficult to use, but we find that students tend to shy away from it a bit, but it really is very powerful because
[00:42:49.645]
You are the boss with advanced search. You have all of the different search paths, or I should say search fields available to you. So you can get very particular the same way you can with your catalog. If you know the title and author of the article you're looking for, you've got those specific fields to search on. You can even isolate to particular types of publications. For example, Yale Academic One File has some foreign language materials in it, so you could search by
[00:43:14.642]
publication language.
[00:43:16.247]
You've also got all of the search limiters available to you. So the same ones we see as filters on a search result page, we're going to have available to us to start with our search. And again, you'll have more options here, things like publication subject. So instead of typing in a particular subject, I'm looking for journals having to do with
[00:43:35.742]
academic libraries, I can isolate with a publication subject search without having to know each of their names and type them in under a publication limit.
[00:43:44.488]
You can work with Lexile measures here as well if that's of interest. So reading level tools there.
[00:43:51.035]
But again, what I really like is the ability to search in particular fields. And you'll see as you select different fields from the Dropbox here, it will give you a definition of where that's being searched. So keyword at Gale has always been key fields. So looking in the hotspots of every article, it's not reading the entire document, but you can switch to that.
[00:44:09.817]
And just find any mention of a topic in any document within the resource. And you can combine these. So let's say again, kind of following the same example.
[00:44:20.323]
I'm going to use
[00:44:21.954]
Maybe two different ones I like our keywords so that we're kind of looking in those hotspots. So I'm going to search for again.
[00:44:33.988]
artificial intelligence and go down a step. And I want specifically to find mention of library. So I'm going to use entire document.
[00:44:41.146]
And I'm also going to take advantage of one of our wild cards here.
[00:44:45.224]
So we have, if you look down below in our search tips tool, you can get to all of our
[00:44:51.536]
kind of special search tips for how the search engine works. So I'm using a wild card here. I'm using the asterisk sign that replaces zero or more characters. So it will pick up library, libraries, you know, librarian, you know, it's going to give me a little flexibility there. So you can impose that on the search engine. We do it when you're using basic search up there in the toolbar, we do a little bit of that implied.
[00:45:15.659]
Well, when you're here at advanced search, you can take advantage of some of those more specific tools.
[00:45:20.668]
So I can tie this together.
[00:45:22.799]
And again, I could add a filter here, maybe put in a date limit.
[00:45:26.061]
But specifically, giving it search instructions rather than kind of letting the search engine figure it out for me.
[00:45:32.695]
And again, we still start by relevance.
[00:45:36.006]
everything I told it is still being used as my search path, but that relevant sort just helps push the most relevant content to the top.
[00:45:45.088]
So I'll write one last thing and then I'll wrap up and let you all go for the day.
[00:45:50.138]
The Gale One Fowl resources, and actually our common menu is kind of a handy tool to be able to show this.
[00:45:55.723]
We have a lot of them, right? We talked about kind of the big three, Gale Academic one file, Gale General one found, Gale One Foul News. And then we talked about the Gale One File Collection. So all those smaller collections like diversity studies, fine arts, gardening and horticulture.
[00:46:09.497]
They're all available as their own collection.
[00:46:12.433]
But from our common menu, and you can actually get a direct link to this path as well. We can get you that on our support site.
[00:46:19.487]
Our product menu offers our cross search tools. So Gale Power Search
[00:46:24.469]
is going to allow you to pick up many of the Gale resources all in one fell swoop. And if I go ahead and click on it, you can actually see the list of what's available. It's going to let me cross search all of those scale one file resources. So the entire Gale One file product family, it can pick up all of those. Now, by default, the account I'm using here is one of the general novel New York accounts. So you may, when you come into the resource, there may be all pre
[00:46:49.456]
selected. I'll just use that little checkbox to get all of those. It's also going to pick up some of the Galen context resources. So with Novel New York, we offer Galen context opposing viewpoints.
[00:47:00.313]
If you had also Galen context, US history or
[00:47:04.248]
Yeah, the context science or something like that.
[00:47:07.932]
you would see that here as well. Gail in context middle school and elementary don't cross search, so they're not offered here.
[00:47:17.207]
And then if you have a
[00:47:22.709]
Yale ebook collection, you would see that listed here too.
[00:47:26.148]
Well, we can pick these all up at once and search and let's, I'm going to go ahead and kind of go back to my
[00:47:32.769]
electoral college example, it's just picking up all of the resources
[00:47:36.595]
that I've selected into one fell swoop.
[00:47:40.478]
And what I like about this, particularly having context opposing viewpoints is
[00:47:49.284]
That content's mostly going to flow to the books tab.
[00:47:51.855]
And I'll have good overviews for the electoral College. I'll have all those viewpoints. They will flow to this page as well as other handy reference content.
[00:47:59.565]
So you can see where your content's coming from.
[00:48:02.864]
for each result.
[00:48:06.218]
So this can be a time saver, but it is a lot of content.
[00:48:08.357]
So you kind of use it judiciously.
[00:48:12.485]
So I think there is something in the Q&A. Let me go ahead and check that. Is there a way to save or send your search results? Jessica, there is. I apologize. Let me jump back.
[00:48:22.116]
Gale Academic One File does offer
[00:48:24.895]
that tool. Let me, where's my menu?
[00:48:27.967]
Here we go. I apologize. I meant to show this it's
[00:48:31.958]
been around for, I think, a couple of years now, but I apologize, it hadn't been for a while so i i
[00:48:37.521]
overlooked it here in my prep. So let me go ahead and bring back a set of results here. I'm going to keep up with the
[00:48:45.674]
My.
[00:48:47.860]
I'll do a college search.
[00:48:50.301]
you'll see a checkbox next to results.
[00:48:54.723]
you can select those. I'm just going to go ahead and grab all one through 20 here and kind of scoop them up. You can, of course, you know, be a little more particular and select just the ones you want and then take advantage of our download tool. I can't send them all via email at once, but if you use the download tool, you can kind of grab them up
[00:49:14.991]
50 results at a time, or so, sorry, 50 results per session.
[00:49:20.513]
You can do this to full text download. And I believe, let me double check is that this works here. I think.
[00:49:28.151]
It creates a text file. So it's uh
[00:49:32.902]
working for me there. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Creates a zip file. And maybe I can call on Sarah here to remind me, do we get each article?
[00:49:41.404]
separately in that file, I think we must maybe as PDFs. Well, let's find out.
[00:49:52.084]
download.
[00:49:57.091]
Yes, it is. They are textiles. So here, let me drag this folder over. They are text files, but you will get one for each article. So you can do that for 50 articles during your session. So I've scooped up 20 here.
[00:50:08.832]
So I've got 30 left during this session. My next session, I'd have another 50 available. So that's the way to kind of scoop them up all at once. As we saw with the individual articles, you can always, again, send those to Google Drive or download or email, but that's, again, one by one. So I think you were looking for
[00:50:27.393]
kind of in one fell swoop, Jessica, but let me know if I read your question wrong.
[00:50:33.823]
So again, that's available in academic one file
[00:50:36.256]
Not all of the one file resources have that collection. It was most requested for academic info.
[00:50:44.624]
Alrighty, so let's wrap up and get you on your way. Of course, I am
[00:50:52.025]
Always have more things to tell you, but I don't want to cut into more of your day than I have.
[00:50:57.160]
Oh, good. Okay, thanks, Jessica. Appreciate that confirmation.
[00:51:00.099]
So our support page for Novel New York will offer up lots of great training materials. We've got example LibGuides there. We've got all the tech support as well. So if you want to create a link on your
[00:51:12.594]
you know, LibGuide for the economic policy collection or something like that, if you're not linking to it currently, you can always get your access URLs there. And then we've got lots of great marketing materials as well. So you can always take advantage, no need to recreate the wheel. We've got lots of digital assets, social media posts and the like.
[00:51:31.137]
And then that's, of course, on-demand help. But when you want to talk to someone at Gale, you've got your team to reach out. So again, we spoke about the academic outreach and engagement services team. I did have some registrations from other types of libraries, so I wanted to mention
[00:51:48.014]
Our customer success team for K-12 public and special libraries.
[00:51:51.929]
Again, they're there to help support you with your resources, make you successful with them, and they specialize by library type, as you can see. So they have a lot of success stories to share as well. I'm of course your trainer. You can feel free to reach out to me if you're not sure where to start. I'm a good place. I'm a librarian myself, so I know where to go if I don't have the answer.
[00:52:11.689]
And then our tech support's available. You can always get in touch with them if something doesn't seem right, doesn't, you know, maybe isn't loading or
[00:52:20.276]
you know running into an error. I always like to share the 800 number for tech support because if you're having a problem that's stopping you from using the database, I think that's worth a phone call and talk to somebody right away.
[00:52:29.831]
You can always get in touch with them via email as well.
[00:52:32.961]
And then, of course, your sales consultant would be more than happy to talk with you about other Gale resources and what might work for you.
[00:52:39.895]
And then again, that great on-demand support from our support site for Novel New York.
[00:52:45.180]
So don't suffer in silence. Reach out to your Gale teams when you have questions or feedback for us. It's really important. You know, a lot of the bells and whistles in our databases nowadays came from customer requests. So we're always eager to hear how you're using these resources and what we can be doing better. So I'm going to stick around and see if any other questions should come up, but if you're all set, go ahead and feel free to drop off. I apologize for
[00:53:09.613]
keeping you later, I probably should have scheduled this session for an hour.
[00:53:13.295]
I'll remember that for next time. But thanks everybody for tuning in.
