Duration: 60 Minutes
[00:00:05.000]
the State Library of Oregon. And I'm very happy to introduce Stacey Knibloe, who is our
[00:00:13.000]
Gale database trainer and the resources that she's going to be showing you today are part of the State Library's statewide database licensing program, which is our program that provides Gale resources out to
[00:00:32.000]
libraries across Oregon, and we're always thrilled to have Stacy do training for us. And I think I'll just go ahead and turn it over to you, Stacy, to get us started.
[00:00:44.000]
Excellent. Thanks, Arlene. Hi, everybody. Let me go ahead and share my screen.
[00:00:50.000]
And we will…
[00:00:52.000]
have a few slides here to go through. Glad to be with you all virtually today.
[00:00:59.000]
And sharing some of the great stuff out of your Gale resources.
[00:01:03.000]
We're going to be taking a look, starting with, actually let me bring up the agenda so you can just see it in action. Finding Spanish language content for your users.
[00:01:14.000]
And then taking a look at how you can find reliable content in opposing viewpoints
[00:01:19.000]
Sorry, Gale, in context opposing viewpoints, I still want to use its former name.
[00:01:25.000]
And along the way, we'll be sharing about the accessibility tools that are available in all the Gale resources as well.
[00:01:32.000]
That's our plan for the session.
[00:01:35.000]
First of all, we want to serve what you're after. So feel free to use that chat or Q&A. And I believe everybody should have the ability to mute or unmute themselves. So feel free to ask questions that way as well. You can even come off video if you like.
[00:01:50.000]
go ahead and jump in anytime as we go through here. So we were having an issue with our resources that seems to be clearing up, so hopefully it won't slow us down at all.
[00:02:03.000]
As we go through, again, I've got a few slides, so we'll go through those and then give the databases a look, make sure they're behaving as they should.
[00:02:11.000]
Rarely happens, but when it does happen, it does seem to be during a webinar. So let me go ahead and dive in.
[00:02:20.000]
And speak just in general for a minute about what you have from Gale through the State Library of Oregon. So it is a great collection of resources you have
[00:02:31.000]
really something for everybody, we hope. It's a wide ranging collection.
[00:02:36.000]
And I'm going to share these slides after we wrap up.
[00:02:39.000]
So you can have them as kind of a virtual handout because what I've done is, oh.
[00:02:44.000]
I'm not sure.
[00:02:48.000]
One of my slides aren't advancing motion there they go
[00:02:49.000]
These will be more details for you later, just about what resource to use when and which ones are for which types of users. So we're going to go into a couple particular ones, but I thought this just might be useful for later when you're working on
[00:03:05.000]
things with different patrons or students as you go through and kind of decide which resource you want to be in, you'll have some ideas about where to go for what.
[00:03:17.000]
So looking at a few of these, you've got some great general interest resources that speak to lots of different types of users.
[00:03:25.000]
But, you know, vary by reading level.
[00:03:28.000]
You've also got a
[00:03:31.000]
A nice collection of periodical resources. We're going to be talking about a couple of these in particular today.
[00:03:40.000]
And these are all updated every day, new content flowing in all the time from, of course, publications here in the US, but then around the world. And we're going to speak to that a little more specifically too.
[00:03:53.000]
And then some subject specific resources that you may not use quite as often, but of course it's great to have them when you need them, particularly there in the public library, maybe serving a small business.
[00:04:03.000]
owner or entrepreneur, you've got some great stuff here.
[00:04:08.000]
We are going to be taking a look at the health resource and highlighting the Spanish language content there, but this is really designed for
[00:04:16.000]
patients, not doctors. So it's a great tool for consumer health.
[00:04:21.000]
for everybody. And then you've got our Galen Context environmental studies, which looks at kind of different issues surrounding the environment, certainly from a scientific point of view, but also, you know, economically, things like that.
[00:04:35.000]
Let's go ahead. And I apologize, folks, I'm still just a little distracted to keeping an eye on the Slack here to make sure the resources are up and running.
[00:04:43.000]
Again, you've got some more subject specific resources and
[00:04:47.000]
I love the US history database. Certainly it's great for research, but if you've got people who are coming in and reading historical fiction in the library or just history buffs themselves, that's a great database for them to discover.
[00:05:01.000]
Gale One Vow Legal Track covers legal issues. It is law journals, periodicals related to the law, limited full text there, but helpful when you need it.
[00:05:11.000]
Lip finder full of literature content, full text poems, short stories, plays, and so on.
[00:05:19.000]
And then lastly, our readers advisory resource, Gale Books and Authors, to help find your next great read. So it's
[00:05:25.000]
recommended books from genre and subject matter experts and give you
[00:05:32.000]
Lots of fun ways to browse and find your next great book or favorite author.
[00:05:37.000]
All right, so just again, a little reminder about what's available, but now we want to dive into kind of the meat of our session this afternoon, or sorry, this morning for you all.
[00:05:46.000]
Finding content for Spanish speaking users.
[00:05:51.000]
And I worked with Arlene to create a handout. And let me go ahead and put that in the chat. And then I will also send it via email
[00:06:00.000]
After we wrap up today, so you'll have that follow-up.
[00:06:04.000]
And this will detail, again, kind of a good takeaway after today to remind you where to find content in the Gale resources for your Spanish speaking users.
[00:06:14.000]
And it gives you a few tips on searching as well so
[00:06:19.000]
some handy stuff.
[00:06:23.000]
And let me make sure to give you the PDF and not the
[00:06:27.000]
InDesign file here.
[00:06:32.000]
Put that right in the chat. It's also available, and I'll put this
[00:06:37.000]
in the chat as well from the LibGuide that Arlene has created. So I'll include that too.
[00:06:44.000]
So that's kind of a live link to it. Should we make any updates or anything to it, you would get the live link off the LibGuide as well.
[00:06:52.000]
So there are a few different sources we're going to go or a few different resources we're going to go to find Spanish language sources.
[00:06:59.000]
And the one that's always kind of first thought is Gale OneFile: Informe Académico.
[00:07:05.000]
Because that is a Spanish speaking resource. The content there is originally written in Spanish. There are some sources that provide English as well. You might find a few bilingual articles in the collection. But the content there was really built for Spanish speakers.
[00:07:23.000]
And it is when you go in, a completely Spanish language environment, we're going to take a quick look at it just to familiarize you with it. But really, we want to highlight the Spanish content that's elsewhere because, of course, that's what this resource is about.
[00:07:38.000]
kind of the go-to so
[00:07:40.000]
We are going to spend a few minutes in it, but wanted to call that one out here first.
[00:07:45.000]
And then along with some of our other Gale One Fowl resources, Gale Academic One File, Gale General One File also include some Spanish language periodicals.
[00:07:56.000]
I would say, though, if you're looking for magazines, newspapers, academic journals in Spanish, though, Gale OneFile: Informe Académico is going to be your first hit, your first stop.
[00:08:06.000]
So it's nice because they can kind of blend together if you use Gale Power Search.
[00:08:12.000]
but
[00:08:13.000]
And what I wanted to highlight mostly with the academic one file and general one file is that
[00:08:19.000]
you have other languages available there as well in those publications. So Danish, French.
[00:08:25.000]
German, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Turkish.
[00:08:28.000]
are also available. Not in the same scope that we have for Spanish, but a handful for those languages.
[00:08:37.000]
are available too so
[00:08:39.000]
Where we're actually going to get started with our live look at the Spanish language content is in Gale Health and
[00:08:47.000]
A resource you may not think to go to for Spanish language content because
[00:08:50.000]
Generally, most of the Gale databases, everything's in English, but we did find a big need in the health resource
[00:08:56.000]
for Spanish language content.
[00:09:00.000]
So we're going to show you how to seek that out.
[00:09:01.000]
And then the State Library has also put together a collection of ebooks available in Spanish. They are written for younger users, almost like picture book, but with nonfiction content. So we're going to show those off as well.
[00:09:16.000]
So I'm about to dive in, and this is where we'll give the databases their test and make sure they are up and running as
[00:09:23.000]
I've been informed they are so
[00:09:26.000]
Let me see if I can bring up oh I
[00:09:30.000]
have it open here. Okay, here we go. So here's Gale Health and Wellness. You can, of course, get to this through the Libraries of Oregon page.
[00:09:38.000]
It's always available there, but your library may have also set up your own links to the individual Gale resources. So of course, that's a great way to access as well.
[00:09:48.000]
And again, when you come into this resource, it may not be one you would assume that there's going to be Spanish language content because
[00:09:55.000]
Of course, the whole homepage is in English. All of our popular topics here in the
[00:10:02.000]
pick list are listed in English.
[00:10:05.000]
But we do have a feature. Oh, thanks, Arlene, for adding that in the chat. We do have a feature in the Gale resources, and I'm going to use my little annotate tool here.
[00:10:16.000]
to highlight whenever you're in a Gale resource.
[00:10:21.000]
They're in the very top banner of the page.
[00:10:24.000]
is the option to change the interface language. It won't change anything having to do with the content of the database.
[00:10:34.000]
But you'll see when I make that choice here to switch into Spanish.
[00:10:38.000]
All of the buttons in the resource
[00:10:43.000]
And instructions.
[00:10:48.000]
Oh.
[00:10:49.000]
There we go. Yes, sorry.
[00:10:52.000]
You can see the buttons here in the toolbar. Google was offering to translate for me. That threw me off.
[00:10:58.000]
I should remember that it does that every time, but here we have again the buttons here in the resource automatically switch into Spanish.
[00:11:06.000]
our instructions here for searching and to get to advanced search have searched into Spanish.
[00:11:11.000]
Again, the content doesn't change. So you'll see that our carousel here that cycles, this changes every month, cycles through three to five different topics.
[00:11:19.000]
If we scroll down again, looking at the pick list here, these are all still in English. So the content hasn't changed.
[00:11:25.000]
But our instructions.
[00:11:27.000]
And all the buttons on the page have changed.
[00:11:30.000]
The nice thing is all the buttons and everything stay in the same place. So even though I don't speak Spanish, I know what these buttons are going to take me to, but I am going to switch back into English.
[00:11:42.000]
Just for a bit of ease of use for myself.
[00:11:46.000]
So Gale Health and Wellness, from the first tip I want to share for finding Spanish language content in this resource
[00:11:54.000]
is search in Spanish use
[00:11:57.000]
Spanish words to search. So I'm going to do that now for, and I forgive my, forgive my pronunciation here.
[00:12:04.000]
Cardiopateia, which translates to heart disease in English.
[00:12:11.000]
is going to send that search out and bring back Spanish content because I searched in Spanish.
[00:12:18.000]
So that's really the best tip in any of our databases if you're looking for Spanish language content or again, you know, any of the other languages that may be served.
[00:12:26.000]
search in that language and it's going to go out and grab content in that language.
[00:12:30.000]
As it's done here.
[00:12:32.000]
Now, I have results coming from a few different spots. And this is, I think for a lot of folks often a pleasant surprise for health and wellness, the amount of content that's here. It's not just magazine articles. We have reference sources. We've got videos that are available in Spanish. So this is an area of focus for Gale Health and Wellness.
[00:12:54.000]
And what I always like to point out about the reference content in this database, both in English and in Spanish.
[00:13:00.000]
is that this is written for me as the patient, not the doctor, not a medical professional. So if someone has maybe been recently diagnosed with something, they want to get a little more info about it, I'm the kind of person that freezes up at the doctor's office and
[00:13:15.000]
Can't think of a thing to ask them until I walk out the door and then I've got 50 questions. So you've got content here for people like me who need that kind of
[00:13:24.000]
research after the fact, right?
[00:13:28.000]
And if we jump in.
[00:13:30.000]
Again, you'll see this content is in Spanish. Some of it has been translated from English. For example, this is
[00:13:38.000]
Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine.
[00:13:41.000]
And we have had it translated into Spanish, hand translated, I should say. So a person did this translation. This is not a machine translation that you're seeing in action there. We're going to talk about
[00:13:53.000]
our machine translation option later.
[00:13:56.000]
But some of the other sources were originally written by Spanish speakers. So you've got a blend of it here in health and well
[00:14:02.000]
We'll talk about that a little more when we get into Informe, but with Gale Health and Wellness, you've got a blend of content that has been translated from English and then some content that's been written originally in Spanish.
[00:14:14.000]
by Spanish speakers.
[00:14:17.000]
So if we scroll a bit here, these overviews are really great because they give you really thorough information. We can take a look for, again, maybe for those of you who maybe don't speak English as well, we'll take a look at an entry later so you can kind of get an idea of what your users will expect to find here.
[00:14:34.000]
It is really thorough, talks about, in this case, we're looking at heart disease. So the
[00:14:41.000]
description of the condition and then the different factors that can come into play, diagnosis, treatment, things like that, demographics around the condition.
[00:14:51.000]
And in some of these entries, you might even have suggested questions to ask your medical professionals. So that's one of my favorite features of the Gale Encyclopedias that appear in the health databases.
[00:15:02.000]
So lots of great reference content.
[00:15:06.000]
And then we're also keeping up to date with periodicals. So you'll find magazines. And again, this resource is mostly for consumer health, but there are often academic journals here too. If we've got folks who maybe have suffered from a chronic condition for a long time, they may want to be reading the same thing their professionals are. So you'll find a mix of academic journals here too.
[00:15:27.000]
And then really some of the content that people are most excited about are the videos.
[00:15:33.000]
So coming from one of our providers, Health Day.
[00:15:38.000]
And let me go ahead and unmute it here.
[00:15:46.000]
So hopefully that audio is coming through on your end of the webinar as well. What's nice about the video content and almost all of the Gale resources is you will have a transcript too.
[00:15:58.000]
I'm a video fan, but I really like to skim an article and read it first rather than watch a video. So I appreciate having that transcript often. The other thing I like is with our
[00:16:11.000]
Entries that have any sort of text attached to them, you've got the ability to take advantage of our accessibility tools with them. So things like increasing the font.
[00:16:22.000]
or changing the display of the text. And we're going to dig into all these a little more later. But I can also pull this content out. I can choose to email this entry. Now it won't email me the video.
[00:16:33.000]
But I'll get that text that goes along with it. So I still get that information. And then I'll have a link to take me to the video.
[00:16:41.000]
We don't send the videos or if we find any audio files later, we don't actually send the audio files, but we send those transcripts when you choose to email or
[00:16:53.000]
send it to Google Drive or any of those tools there.
[00:16:56.000]
So really handy.
[00:17:01.000]
All right. And just kind of scroll a little bit more with these other magazines, the videos. And then again, as I mentioned.
[00:17:07.000]
A little further there, the academic journals.
[00:17:11.000]
And then the news will be a mix. A lot of this is
[00:17:16.000]
consumer driven as well, but sometimes in an ad in the magazines you'll find
[00:17:19.000]
Things that are kind of for the industry, the health industry. So written for anybody, but kind of targeted towards those who work in health professions.
[00:17:31.000]
That can be great content for them as well. Nice professional development can get accomplished with that.
[00:17:37.000]
Now, another way to seek out this content, I'm going to go ahead and search on diabetes, which is
[00:17:44.000]
the same in both English and Spanish.
[00:17:47.000]
And this is a popular topic. We have a dedicated portal page for it. So everything we have for diabetes, whether it's in English or Spanish, is going to get pulled to
[00:17:57.000]
this page.
[00:17:58.000]
And our overview that we start out with here is always going to be in English.
[00:18:03.000]
But if I go into one of the content types here, if I go into reference magazines.
[00:18:09.000]
What you're going to find is over on the filters on the right hand side of the page, we are able to
[00:18:15.000]
grab up that Spanish content. Again, I'm going to use my annotate tool here just to call this out.
[00:18:23.000]
Make sure I've got my little draw tool on.
[00:18:25.000]
I can isolate to results that are in Spanish. So when you're searching on a term that is in English.
[00:18:32.000]
and Spanish, the same thing.
[00:18:35.000]
you can still get to isolate to Spanish language content with that filter.
[00:18:41.000]
But I also like that filter because it highlights that we have Spanish language content. So the filters are always important.
[00:18:49.000]
And because they're over to the right-hand side of the page, the eye kind of drifts and keeps an eye on what's happening on the left more.
[00:18:54.000]
That's something you'll want to point out to your users is that those filters are there. They're very handy in many ways, but it's also going to expose them to content that they may not realize is available with that in Espanol option.
[00:19:08.000]
So again, looking at reference content here.
[00:19:13.000]
and so on now
[00:19:15.000]
you can see just looking at the hit count, your diabetes is certainly a big topic. So there were lots of articles available in English.
[00:19:22.000]
And if I go back.
[00:19:26.000]
to the homepage here. We do offer an on-demand language translation tool. So if I go into any article, could be reference, could be magazines, news, anything.
[00:19:39.000]
I'm going to have
[00:19:40.000]
the ability to translate it.
[00:19:43.000]
So if, again, I'm going to use my annotate tool here
[00:19:49.000]
You'll see in this row of buttons.
[00:19:52.000]
These are all of our text interaction tools. These are also some of our accessibility tools.
[00:19:57.000]
So you've got…
[00:19:58.000]
a button here to translate.
[00:20:02.000]
And let me go ahead and clear off these drawings so I can actually click it.
[00:20:04.000]
The on-demand language translation actually offers about 50 different languages.
[00:20:11.000]
And these are fairly easy for us to add. So if you and your community are finding a need for a particular language, let us know at Gale.
[00:20:19.000]
And if we don't have it.
[00:20:21.000]
you know, again, it's fairly easy for us to add.
[00:20:25.000]
So if I go ahead and select Spanish there.
[00:20:28.000]
And oh, and let me just point out, I don't know if you noticed, but there's a little reminder there about the interface language option too. So always letting folks know there's that additional help.
[00:20:38.000]
So what it will do with the on-demand language translation is give us a preview. It translates the first couple paragraphs.
[00:20:44.000]
And oh, no, sorry, this was a short article. So it actually translated the whole thing for longer articles, it gives you a little preview.
[00:20:51.000]
So we have the whole article there.
[00:20:54.000]
And what's nice is you keep all of the other tools. So if I need to enlarge the font here.
[00:21:00.000]
I can do that. And you also got the zoom option in your browsers. Our databases will work with that. That enlarges everything.
[00:21:09.000]
Which is a nice feature for webinars. I keep that usually zoomed in a bit more for folks on the other end of the webinar. But the font size tool that we offer is something that just affects the text of the article. So you're not changing the way your whole browser is working. You're just changing that text to make it a little clearer.
[00:21:27.000]
You've also got the display option so we can change the way this looks and make a more needed or wanted reading experience. I, the kind of white and black text can be a little harsh, so
[00:21:39.000]
I might soften that with a sepia background.
[00:21:42.000]
Or I've got a nephew who has a processing issue. He really needs text on a blue or a green background to see it clearly. So I can make that chat setting for him. You can choose different fonts. The open dyslexic font has been really well received.
[00:21:55.000]
Not only for folks who
[00:21:58.000]
have dyslexia, but because we've found it often helps folks read faster. So it's a nice tool to have.
[00:22:06.000]
And then we can change the spacing on the text as well.
[00:22:08.000]
And then just click done here.
[00:22:12.000]
And can read that article in the most comfortable settings or needed settings that I have. And what's nice is it sets a cookie whenever you change those display settings. So if I go into another article.
[00:22:24.000]
Just grab the overview here.
[00:22:26.000]
it remembers that and has kept
[00:22:28.000]
that same look and feel of the text.
[00:22:32.000]
Now, I do need to choose to translate every time I jump into an article. Again, the content
[00:22:40.000]
kind of has to be requested. So this is a longer article. So you can see it's giving us a preview and then I can choose to complete the translation.
[00:22:49.000]
And there it goes.
[00:22:51.000]
And then kind of everybody's favorite accessibility tool is that listen button. So this will
[00:22:59.000]
Read the article to me. It's a little different than a screen reader or maybe other tools you may use.
[00:23:03.000]
Because it's going to read.
[00:23:07.000]
The title of the article and then start in with the article itself. Let me go ahead and pause it so I'm not speaking over it. So it's not like a screen reader. It's not trying to read everything on the screen. You can highlight
[00:23:17.000]
text and have it just read that too. But for the start, it just does the title and then dives right into the article itself. So you get to the good stuff right away.
[00:23:28.000]
And there are lots of settings here. If you go into the
[00:23:32.000]
players menu and you can see it's in Spanish because I've chosen Spanish. So I'm going to again this is a menu I'm not quite as familiar with. So I'm going to go ahead and switch back into English
[00:23:41.000]
As we talk about these.
[00:23:44.000]
So I'm just going to go back to our original language here.
[00:23:47.000]
And then go into those lists and settings.
[00:23:51.000]
So we have an enlarged option here, this tool, Read Speaker, offers its own. You can also download the MP3 of the audio and then listen to it offline.
[00:24:03.000]
So folks can download content. Again, this could be in Spanish. This button would be there available as well. You can download the MP3. There's no digital rights management or anything. It's just an MP3 file.
[00:24:16.000]
can load it onto your phone or wherever you need it and listen at your leisure. So really handy.
[00:24:23.000]
When you go into the settings, I'm just going to mention a couple here that are more popular. The speedometer here will let you speed up or slow down the reading of the text.
[00:24:30.000]
Okay.
[00:24:33.000]
So if folks maybe need it a little slower to raise their comprehension, or if you've got folks who are
[00:24:39.000]
say using a screen reader all the time and they want to speed it up a little, you can do that. Everybody's listening to podcasts at one and a half speed now, right? So can do the same here.
[00:24:48.000]
You've also got the options for changing the way it's highlighting the text as it's reading. So you can disable that if you like or change the colors.
[00:24:57.000]
It gives you a little preview of what that'll look like.
[00:25:01.000]
And then one of my favorite settings just over here on the left in the menu, if I go under other settings.
[00:25:06.000]
We've got the option to turn on a pop-up button.
[00:25:10.000]
And what this does
[00:25:13.000]
is let me actually it's a little easier to show you than to explain it. And I'm also going to kind of switch back to our regular display options here.
[00:25:24.000]
With the pop-up button, what will happen is if you click and drag as if you're going to copy the text.
[00:25:32.000]
It pops open our highlights and notes tool, which has been around for a long time, very handy.
[00:25:38.000]
But it also pops open the listen button. So rather than the listen button kind of staying static up at the top of the page, you've got to click it and then scroll, or actually it'll auto scroll for you if you're listening.
[00:25:51.000]
You don't see it anymore when you move off of the top of the page. With the pop-up button, it brings it with you.
[00:25:57.000]
And you can then have it read just the text that you've highlighted. At different rates based on race or ethnicity.
[00:26:03.000]
At the top of the list by far are American Indians and Alaskan natives at.
[00:26:08.000]
So I didn't quite finish the sentence there but
[00:26:11.000]
So it's a handy way to, again, just read the text you want it to, or I like it too for pronunciation, you know, just highlight a word and have it pronounce it for me.
[00:26:21.000]
handy to turn on that pop-up button.
[00:26:24.000]
And again, that's a newer feature. So something you can enable. And all of these tools I'm using so far in Gale Health and Wellness, these are going to work in your other Gale databases too. So Gale One File News.
[00:26:36.000]
Galen Context Middle School, all of those are going to have these same features.
[00:26:42.000]
So, all right, let me pause here, see if we've got anything in the chat.
[00:26:46.000]
We may want to answer or again, folks, feel free to just unmute yourself and ask a question if you've got any so far.
[00:26:54.000]
Looking at my checklist here, making sure I'm going through all the things I want to show you.
[00:26:59.000]
We're in good shape. All righty. So that filter we offer after you've performed your search is actually also available at advanced search.
[00:27:08.000]
So you can actually start your searches that way using that filter. An advanced search follows us through our time in the resource. It's always just a click away.
[00:27:16.000]
right there next to our basic search.
[00:27:19.000]
And it gives you all of your filters. So not just our, as I'm going to go ahead and use.
[00:27:26.000]
And Espanol feature.
[00:27:27.000]
But all of the others as well. And I particularly like to point out in the health database, the publication date filter.
[00:27:34.000]
So this database has been around for a long time and we've got a back file of periodical content.
[00:27:41.000]
For the reference content, we typically have that current edition. So whatever that current edition is that's out there in print, that's what we have in the database.
[00:27:50.000]
But the periodical content goes back and just keeps getting bigger as we add new content on.
[00:27:55.000]
So I always like to mention that you've got the ability to narrow your search by publication date. So if I only want things that are published
[00:28:02.000]
In the last few years, I can go back, I'll go back say to 2020
[00:28:09.000]
I can make that choice here. And again, that's offered after you've issued your search as well. It's one of the filters, standard filters
[00:28:17.000]
And we can do the same type of search here
[00:28:21.000]
And again, I'm going to use diabetes, but just isolate and limit to an Espanol
[00:28:28.000]
All right. And then everything's going to apply to those filters. You can start your search with those as well.
[00:28:38.000]
So that is what I wanted to show you in Gale Health and Wellness. Arlene, anything, you know.
[00:28:46.000]
you'd like to mention here or remember from when we did this in Oregon, you wanted to highlight
[00:28:52.000]
I don't think so. Yeah, go on.
[00:28:55.000]
Go on to the other resources.
[00:28:57.000]
All right, excellent. Okay.
[00:29:00.000]
So let's pop back.
[00:29:04.000]
I'm going to use our Gale menu here. Oh, I think I can get to Libraries of Oregon now so
[00:29:11.000]
Oh, there it is.
[00:29:14.000]
I think I remember that URL. So here's that portal that we mentioned before. It can get into all of the Gale resources here or all of the Libraries of Oregon resources here.
[00:29:24.000]
So all the different tools that are available.
[00:29:27.000]
And of course, we were just in Gale Health and Wellness.
[00:29:31.000]
We're also now going to jump into Gale ebooks. So this is
[00:29:36.000]
Gale's, oh, that's right. I'm not in Oregon. So let me go ahead.
[00:29:41.000]
And grab this from
[00:29:43.000]
our common menu. I would love to be in Oregon, as Arlene well knows.
[00:29:48.000]
Gale ebooks is our Gale ebook platform so
[00:29:52.000]
Any ebooks from Gale live on this platform and then we partner with other providers to bring their content into as needed.
[00:30:00.000]
And we wanted to build an ebook platform that was very easy to use. There's no
[00:30:05.000]
check in or check out on the Gale ebooks platform. Any number of people can be using the same books at the same time. When we were developing the platform, we're a reference company.
[00:30:17.000]
We don't publish popular novels and things like that people were
[00:30:21.000]
taking, you know, the couple chapters out of a reference book that they needed from us and moving on, right? So we didn't want to build a platform that limited that. And we were really excited to get reference content, you know, available 24 seven, right?
[00:30:35.000]
So our ebook platform is actually very similar to what we were just using with Gale Health and Wellness. Super easy to search. But what I wanted to point out
[00:30:45.000]
And oh, thanks, Arlie, for answering that question there in the chat.
[00:30:50.000]
What I wanted to point out in your Yale ebooks collection is we actually build it around shelves.
[00:30:57.000]
So if you look down the left-hand side.
[00:30:58.000]
And just, of course, if you browse the homepage at all, you'll see they're grouped together by subject area. And there is a Spanish language collection.
[00:31:06.000]
And we partner again with other providers and that's what you've got a collection here. These are for younger users.
[00:31:13.000]
There are a couple titles here that are written at maybe more of a high school reading level, like the Gale Encyclopedia de la Medicina is available here too. It's in Yale Health and Wellness as well.
[00:31:25.000]
But you can see most of the titles here in Spanish are for those younger users.
[00:31:30.000]
And they are books, unlike what we publish at Yale, someone might read these cover to cover. So we created a platform you can do that. So animals of the ocean here, we can actually jump in and view ebook. And this is going to almost act like a
[00:31:45.000]
e-reader, like, you know, like a Kindle or a Nook would where
[00:31:50.000]
we kind of open up with this PDF. We're using our own viewer here. And one of my favorite features here in the viewer is to switch this and actually I'm going to use my annotate tool again
[00:32:04.000]
And I want you to admit it's a smaller button, so I don't want you to miss it. This two page icon here.
[00:32:10.000]
will let me switch into a two-page view.
[00:32:13.000]
like I've got the book open flat on the table.
[00:32:17.000]
Which is nice, particularly for this image or other, you know, because it spans across those two pages with that.
[00:32:24.000]
look at the atlas there.
[00:32:27.000]
And if I'm on a touchscreen, I can swipe to move these pages or since I'm not, I'll just use the arrows here. You can also kind of take over the page. If I switch to
[00:32:38.000]
the full screen view, it kind of takes over my monitor
[00:32:43.000]
Don't chew your paw.
[00:32:44.000]
So this could almost, oh, sorry, question?
[00:32:48.000]
So this is something, you know, if you were using a tablet or something, you could almost do a, you know, almost story hour with these types of titles.
[00:32:55.000]
And just kind of flip through the book.
[00:32:58.000]
by swiping or again, taking advantage of that arrow and read through those.
[00:33:07.000]
And if we pop back.
[00:33:12.000]
Again, you can see, I just want to pause here for a second, kind of see the titles that are available there.
[00:33:18.000]
Now, what held true in Gale Health and Wellness is going to hold here true as well. If we have content we want to search.
[00:33:27.000]
because we
[00:33:29.000]
Sorry, folks. I'm sorry, I think I'm still discombobulated from the database issue that started us off. So I'm talking over myself a bit.
[00:33:37.000]
So you can search in Spanish to find this content as well, because with our ebook platform, we wanted the best of both worlds. Be able to browse a book and flip through it like you would if it were in print.
[00:33:47.000]
But then also just search it and find those couple chapters that you might need.
[00:33:52.000]
So if I search here in Spanish, it's going to react just like we did in Gale Health and Wellness and bring back Spanish language content. So again, I've searched here on Given Sia, dementia in English. It's brought back results from that Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, as well as the dictionary tool that's available.
[00:34:11.000]
In your ebook collection.
[00:34:13.000]
So you can jump right into the Spanish language content here too with a search.
[00:34:19.000]
And when you come from a surge, you always get kind of the
[00:34:23.000]
or not kind of the text view of the ebook. We always want it in both formats, kind of that pseudo PDF that we use our own viewer with and the e-text version.
[00:34:34.000]
Because with the e-text version, or just text version we call it now, you're going to have all those on-demand tools to translate, to change the font, to change the display options, the listen.
[00:34:47.000]
And then we'll talk more about the retrieval tools here in a minute.
[00:34:49.000]
It is a great way to seek out that content.
[00:34:53.000]
and take advantage of the tools when you come from a search. So always going to get that text view here.
[00:35:01.000]
So I did want to pop into Gale OneFile.
[00:35:06.000]
Informe Académico just for a minute
[00:35:09.000]
Because again, this is kind of the first thought when you've got folks who are looking for Spanish language content, this would probably be your first stop.
[00:35:16.000]
It is a completely Spanish language environment with the exception of some sources are available in both Spanish and English
[00:35:25.000]
But you jump into this resource and immediately it is in Spanish, the interface as well as the content.
[00:35:31.000]
And what I really want to point out here is what type of content you can expect to find here. So whenever you hear Gale One File, it does primarily mean magazines, journals, news sources.
[00:35:46.000]
That's periodicals is basically
[00:35:48.000]
the product family that we call Gale OneFile.
[00:35:51.000]
And each of our publications
[00:35:54.000]
And I'm going to share this in my follow-up email. Each of our databases have a dedicated title list that shows you what's in the database.
[00:36:04.000]
So I've loaded up Gale Health and Wellness and Informe Académico title list here and
[00:36:08.000]
What I love about these title lists is you can work with them and filter them. So what I've done is isolate to the news sources, the newspapers. I've isolated the
[00:36:18.000]
format here to newspaper. And of course, you know, the language is Spanish. There is a handful of Portuguese titles in this collection too, but so I just isolated to Spanish.
[00:36:27.000]
And then I narrowed further to the country of publication being Mexico.
[00:36:31.000]
So if I've got users who are from Mexico and want to keep up with the news.
[00:36:36.000]
You can actually do that in Informe Académico. I see I've got four publications here. If I go back to Informa Academica, we offer a publication search.
[00:36:45.000]
And I will not try to pronounce the full name of it here there, but that's what we're getting this lower right-hand corner. Again, remember, you can always switch into English if you need a little help as well and switch that interface into English.
[00:36:57.000]
And I can search on
[00:36:59.000]
El Norte.
[00:37:04.000]
And I can actually pull up a day's paper. With the publication search, you can go back and look at back issues.
[00:37:09.000]
Or the feature I really wanted to highlight here
[00:37:15.000]
turn on and create a search or sorry, a journal alert
[00:37:20.000]
So that I can get this delivered to my inbox every day.
[00:37:23.000]
I can just show up in my email or if anybody uses a
[00:37:28.000]
RSS aggregator like
[00:37:30.000]
Feedly or something like that, you can actually
[00:37:33.000]
pull it into your RSS feed.
[00:37:36.000]
But you can also just sign up for an email there.
[00:37:38.000]
And with a newspaper, I'd have it checked daily and just send me the new issues every day.
[00:37:45.000]
So…
[00:37:48.000]
informing.
[00:37:51.000]
All right, just checking the chat, see if there's anything else I can help out with.
[00:37:55.000]
good shape.
[00:37:58.000]
All righty. So again, your go-to for Spanish language content is going to be
[00:38:02.000]
Gale OneFile Informe Académico and again
[00:38:05.000]
I'll just switch it back to its default state here with the Spanish language interface.
[00:38:10.000]
So by default, that will come up, but you can always make that change as needed.
[00:38:14.000]
within the resource. You can do the same thing with a
[00:38:23.000]
search on a topic. So if I want to follow
[00:38:28.000]
Oh, I'll just type here. Sorry, I forgot.
[00:38:31.000]
climate change, Cambio Climateico
[00:38:34.000]
And again, forgive my pronunciations here.
[00:38:37.000]
You want to, again, search in Spanish, just like we have in the others to get to your content.
[00:38:43.000]
And then you might recognize that icon here up in that toolbar, that little dot with the waves coming from it. That is our search alert for this search topic.
[00:38:53.000]
So rather than coming in and doing the search again and again and seeing what's new, I can just set up an alert
[00:38:59.000]
And it can let me know when there's new content.
[00:39:01.000]
And this is where I might choose something, certainly something like climate change, which is written about pretty often. I might change this instead of searching for new content every day to weekly or monthly.
[00:39:11.000]
And then just get that email, land right in my inbox when there's new content.
[00:39:16.000]
Really handy feature. And again, a great way for folks to keep up on either maybe
[00:39:21.000]
the country and the news they were interested in or just a topic they're interested in and want to stay up to date on.
[00:39:27.000]
So it can be great for professional development as well.
[00:39:31.000]
So this is journal alerts and search alerts are a standard feature of the Gale One File resources so
[00:39:38.000]
You can do it here, of course, in Informa Académico, but say you want to follow what's happening with your favorite author and Gale general info, it'll work there too.
[00:39:48.000]
All right, so we're doing pretty good on time. We wanted to budget for questions and uh
[00:39:55.000]
Oh, great question, V. So if someone wants to turn off those alerts, is that something you have to help with or is it through their email? It's all through their email.
[00:40:04.000]
So when you set up an alert, you'll get, as soon as you set it up, you'll get a confirmation in your email.
[00:40:09.000]
And even from, I think, that confirmation email, you have the ability to turn it off. So if you're like, you know what? No, I don't need this alert. You can immediately unsubscribe. But then every email you get after that has the updates for you at the very bottom will have the option to unsubscribe.
[00:40:25.000]
So yeah, that's nothing anybody at the library would have to help folks with. They can always unsubscribe on their own right from that email we send them.
[00:40:32.000]
So great question.
[00:40:37.000]
Alrighty, so let me just look at my checklist here.
[00:40:43.000]
Yep. All right. I think we did everything I wanted to cover. Let me just come back and check the slide. Arlene, can you think of anything else we covered?
[00:40:53.000]
on seeking out that Spanish language content?
[00:41:04.000]
Yes.
[00:41:05.000]
No, no, I think you've covered it really well. I think we did say that we were going to talk a little bit about opposing viewpoints. So yeah, if you wanted.
[00:41:06.000]
I'm going to leave a little time for that.
[00:41:07.000]
Yeah.
[00:41:08.000]
Yeah. Because we sat for an hour, but wanted to, I know we got started a little late and wanted to allow 45 minutes. So I'm running a little…
[00:41:18.000]
behind but uh
[00:41:22.000]
Give folks time for questions in this resource as well. So Gale in context opposing viewpoints, I think is
[00:41:28.000]
To borrow a phrase, I've been using kind of first thought for a lot of student assignments. You know, you've got kids who are maybe
[00:41:35.000]
participating in a debate at school or they're writing a paper about something.
[00:41:40.000]
You know, Yale in context is really great for students.
[00:41:45.000]
But it is an excellent resource for adults as well.
[00:41:48.000]
And I think it's especially helpful around everything that we are currently dealing with in the world because
[00:41:56.000]
When you're watching the news, you're getting what's happening now.
[00:42:00.000]
But if you want to know kind of how we got where we are, this is going to be a great resource.
[00:42:06.000]
Because not only does it provide viewpoints, which can be really informative in another way, right, and help folks develop their own opinions or, you know.
[00:42:13.000]
come up with arguments of their own. There is a ton of reference content in these databases and
[00:42:19.000]
Of course, I do mean reference in the terms of reference books, but also things like
[00:42:24.000]
or other reference type sources statistics
[00:42:27.000]
And infographics and things like that that can just provide a lot of good info around a topic.
[00:42:35.000]
So when we are looking at today's issues, this is an excellent resource for adults. And we wanted just to highlight some ways you might use it with adults. So just given a few topics there over on the right, but really gale and context opposing viewpoints kind of runs the gamut for subject
[00:42:55.000]
areas so
[00:42:58.000]
Let me go ahead and grab that one as well.
[00:43:03.000]
And you'll see, hopefully, again, a lot of commonalities between the way all these resources look. So there's that on-demand language option up there for the interface. We're going to have the translation tool here too.
[00:43:17.000]
All of those features are still available.
[00:43:20.000]
So looking at the homepage.
[00:43:24.000]
is really a good way to get an idea of the scope of the resource.
[00:43:28.000]
But I love to have adults browse a page like this because they're going to see things that resonate with them. Again, things we're hearing about on the news.
[00:43:38.000]
or things we may care about ourselves.
[00:43:39.000]
You can always go in by these broad topics, say browse all of the society and culture topics, law and politics, or there's this big browse of
[00:43:47.000]
Currently, the 486 issues that we have created topic pages for.
[00:43:53.000]
If you don't see something on this page, doesn't mean we don't cover it. This just means it's got a dedicated portal page behind it.
[00:44:02.000]
So that when we click, it'll look like that diabetes page that we had in Gale Health and Wellness. So if I jump into
[00:44:09.000]
I'll say go into privacy.
[00:44:10.000]
you've got this dedicated jumping off point. And this is really one of my favorite places to start. Say, for example, if we are interested in
[00:44:20.000]
reading more about the Israeli-Palestinian
[00:44:24.000]
Palestinian conflict, pardon me
[00:44:27.000]
Again, we hear what's happening on the news at night, right? Or all day if we want.
[00:44:33.000]
But this is going to be able to give us the background. And that's why I love a topic overview that kicks off this page because
[00:44:41.000]
Of course, you know, it's, you know, a long
[00:44:45.000]
entry, but not long enough to cover all of it, right? But you get kind of the big milestones and things like that. So it is
[00:44:55.000]
a good way to just get a better handle maybe on what's happening.
[00:44:59.000]
And if you look to the right.
[00:45:03.000]
Meaning over here, the explore panel for these articles are a good way to start easing into other bits of content.
[00:45:10.000]
Because you can have a lot of hits on your search result or a portal page like the one I was looking at.
[00:45:18.000]
And that can get a little overwhelming. So I almost like the explore panel as a way to almost tiptoe through other results.
[00:45:26.000]
And just move from article to article or even just you can branch off into related subjects too from that explore panel. It's an easy way to kind of
[00:45:34.000]
move along. And often the more like this have been pushed there directly by our product team to take you to that next good article.
[00:45:44.000]
So sometimes they're auto generated results, but other times we've kind of had a hand in those with that more like this button takes you to.
[00:45:57.000]
Oh, thank you, Jamie.
[00:46:00.000]
All right, so the portal itself, let me actually get back to that for a minute.
[00:46:08.000]
So we named the databases after them. So of course you're going to get viewpoint essays. But what's nice in this resource is we are not going out and randomly grabbing
[00:46:18.000]
you know, blog posts from anywhere I’m posting these
[00:46:21.000]
We aren't even really writing these ourselves because that's not the real world. If we go ahead and jump into an entry here.
[00:46:28.000]
what we've done, and I am just going to set my display up. Oh, I've got my font large. That's what I have going there.
[00:46:35.000]
What we've done is rather than having our writers take a pro and a con approach to a topic or something like that.
[00:46:42.000]
write an article in support and an article against.
[00:46:46.000]
Again, that's not the real world. What we've done is gone and looked for articles
[00:46:51.000]
that have been written by people who know what they're talking about, have experience in the issue.
[00:46:58.000]
And then provided those here with a commentary where we introduced that viewpoint. So talk about where this is coming from.
[00:47:05.000]
and even prompt with
[00:47:06.000]
a suggested questions to think about as you are reading through the article. So kind of questioning opinionated writing, which is going to help build
[00:47:17.000]
critical thinking skills in everybody. And again, this is always a popular resource with kids. So it's a great way to kind of start them
[00:47:23.000]
you know helping them think that way.
[00:47:27.000]
So the viewpoint essays
[00:47:28.000]
are really just one piece.
[00:47:31.000]
Because if we keep scrolling, there's going to be a lot more content, reference articles, biographies, statistics.
[00:47:37.000]
So you can get that hard data from the infographics and the statistics to kind of have numbers.
[00:47:43.000]
You have primary sources, video content.
[00:47:47.000]
And again, this really runs the gamut. So if we go ahead and jump in, say.
[00:47:52.000]
looking for content around AI.
[00:47:56.000]
You'll find the same viewpoint essays, but then other content to help support it. So we can just gather that information and gain more
[00:48:05.000]
info around the topic and more knowledge around the topic. So you can decide, you know, how we feel about AI.
[00:48:12.000]
conflicted, I think, is how many of us feel. But that's what's really illuminating to have
[00:48:18.000]
around these topics is getting that good, reliable info. Because of course, what you're going to find is, let me just pop into one of our entries here.
[00:48:30.000]
Everything is cited. You know where it came from, right? You know what's coming from Gale, but where did we get it? If we didn't write it, where did we get it? And you're always going to find that in the source citation.
[00:48:41.000]
You always know when it was published. It's always going to have a date on it. So you can always, of course, also
[00:48:48.000]
the bottom of our page, we're going to have our contact us info so you can reach out if you've got a question about something you find in the resources.
[00:48:56.000]
So there's always somebody there to kind of back up or investigate what you're finding if you need it.
[00:49:02.000]
So those things we are trying to teach kids
[00:49:06.000]
When they're doing research, those hold true for us as adults too. Where did we get our info from, right? Is it an authoritative source?
[00:49:14.000]
We're curating these databases with our content and other providers, right?
[00:49:20.000]
But we always want folks to know that they can reach out to us about that. I'll share and again, my follow-up email, our content curation page that goes into detail about how we build these databases.
[00:49:31.000]
So that you can feel comfortable, but so that your patrons and your students can feel comfortable using them, knowing where everything came from.
[00:49:39.000]
So this is not just for kids research papers. This is a database really for everybody.
[00:49:47.000]
So let me take a look at my
[00:49:49.000]
Notes here.
[00:49:51.000]
Oh, the last thing I just wanted to mention, we…
[00:49:56.000]
I think we had all the accessibility tools.
[00:49:57.000]
The last thing I'll leave you with that can be handy for accessibility as well
[00:50:03.000]
Let me just jump into an entry here.
[00:50:06.000]
is we have our retrieval options, so you can always print out the content.
[00:50:11.000]
And because a lot of folks will read better on a piece of paper. Again, it's going to keep our font size here too, so you can print it in a bigger font.
[00:50:19.000]
So the same way that a lot of folks like to borrow, you know, whether they need it or they just prefer it, a large print book, you can do the same thing with the resources.
[00:50:26.000]
You can also pull out the content
[00:50:31.000]
into Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. You're going to have those options up here in the toolbar too, that send to button will offer
[00:50:37.000]
export out to Google and OneDrive.
[00:50:41.000]
Of course, you can almost also email it.
[00:50:44.000]
So folks keep track of content in those places and then work with other tools.
[00:50:49.000]
you can pull our content out there just as easily and make use of whatever tools they may be taking advantage of, whatever plugins or things that may come with their Microsoft or Google tools.
[00:50:58.000]
So always going to have those options as well. There's also a lot of work that we do behind the scenes around accessibility. So our choice and font, the colors that we're using for the different boxes, for the font that we're using versus the white background.
[00:51:16.000]
There's a lot of work going on behind the scenes.
[00:51:19.000]
Should you need it, we have our VPATs published on gale.com.
[00:51:24.000]
So that you can definitely look at more detail, kind of see where we fall in the various accessibility guidelines.
[00:51:33.000]
And again, that's something I'll include in my follow-up email. So if you want to dig deeper into the accessibility, we've got tools to help you do that.
[00:51:42.000]
So this is, again.
[00:51:46.000]
A resource for everybody.
[00:51:50.000]
So not just a research tool.
[00:51:55.000]
All righty, looks like we've got about six minutes left. Let me go ahead and share a few more things.
[00:52:01.000]
So I had some reminders about the accessibility tools in case we needed them, but we were able to look at all of them.
[00:52:07.000]
Wanted to share our support site from Gale. This is built around Oregon's resources. When you go to support.Gale.com slash Oregon.
[00:52:16.000]
you're going to find a Dropbox where you can choose your library from the list.
[00:52:22.000]
And then it customizes all the materials to what you get from Gale. So all of our marketing materials, our training materials.
[00:52:30.000]
all the tech support material that's out there are all going to customize to just what you get from Gale rather than the, you know.
[00:52:37.000]
200, 300 or so databases we put out. So this is a great way to
[00:52:42.000]
get started with that support content by just filtering to only what you have from us rather than having to weed through it. But not needing to recreate the wheel is one of the main points of the support site. So we've got marketing materials for you to help promote the resources with your users.
[00:52:59.000]
We've got training materials you can make use of, of course, to train yourself, but then also to train others.
[00:53:05.000]
Fun activities, things like that. So lots of good stuff out at the support site.
[00:53:10.000]
And then again, you can always reach out to your Gale team. I'm your trainer. And if I don't have an answer, I know where to go to get it. So feel free to start with me.
[00:53:20.000]
you'll be getting an email from me after the session again with all those things I mentioned. So feel free to just reply to that.
[00:53:25.000]
You also have our
[00:53:29.000]
dedicated teams for customer support. So our customer success team for K-12 public and special libraries
[00:53:36.000]
And then our academic outreach and engagement services team for our academic libraries.
[00:53:41.000]
They can help if you want to kind of interpret your search or sorry, well, your search results if you want, but I meant to say usage statistics.
[00:53:47.000]
Or even get those if you're not now and you'd like to. You've got
[00:53:53.000]
a wealth of information from these folks. They work with these libraries all the time so they can share success stories for promotion ideas and things like that.
[00:54:02.000]
Of course, your Gale sales consultant is always available to you. And then tech support is always available to you. So the little issue we were experiencing at the start of the webinar where we couldn't get into the databases, that is a call to tech support. And actually that
[00:54:17.000]
Reminds me, I should have the phone number here so I
[00:54:21.000]
You know, don't mind emailing tech support when you're looking for a username or password or something like that but
[00:54:29.000]
When the databases are down.
[00:54:32.000]
I like to pick up the phone. So that 800 number will get you our tech support as well as everybody else in the company too.
[00:54:39.000]
And then again, that support site for that on-demand help looking for support.
[00:54:43.000]
So Arlena, anything to add?
[00:54:52.000]
No, I don't think so. I…
[00:54:54.000]
Thank you so much. I think you do have at the end, you'll also
[00:55:02.000]
Yes.
[00:55:03.000]
be getting a evaluation, a session evaluation that'll be a part of that following email. And I just wanted to mention it's really helpful for the state library that you fill out that evaluation. It helps us understand what people's needs are around training.
[00:55:18.000]
But I also did want to mention that we also take suggestions for other topics for training. So please
[00:55:25.000]
If there are other things that you want to learn more about or you'd like to maybe set up some in-person training at your specific library.
[00:55:35.000]
please do reach out to me. I'm happy to talk about the options available and kind of do a little bit more customized
[00:55:43.000]
kinds of trainings, depending on what your needs are. So feel free to reach out to me directly around that.
[00:55:50.000]
Yes. And folks, I'm going to go ahead and put our evaluation in the chat as well. I apologize. I mentioned to have that on the screen here, too.
[00:55:58.000]
Normally, we have you exit out to it
[00:56:01.000]
But, um.
[00:56:04.000]
I'm not able to do that with the Zoom meeting we were on today. So again, like Arlie mentioned, it'll be in my follow-up email, but I meant to include it here on the slide as well. So just threw it into the chat there.
[00:56:16.000]
too.
[00:56:18.000]
All righty. So that's everything I wanted to cover. We had…
[00:56:24.000]
planned for about 45 minutes worth of content, but with our slightly late start and the discombobulated, we wanted, of course, allow a good amount of time for questions too.
[00:56:33.000]
Since Arlene was so efficient there in the chat taking care of all those, I, uh.
[00:56:37.000]
Okay.
[00:56:40.000]
I think we're letting y'all out a whole minute early. So thanks everybody for attending. I'm going to keep things open and interactive here just to see if any other questions should come through. But thanks so much for tuning in today and taking the time out of your day to learn more about these resources. We hope it was
[00:56:57.000]
what you had in mind. And I'll have that email out to you a little later today. I need to process the recording and get that posted, but I should have that email out to you this afternoon.
[00:57:08.000]
Thanks all again for tuning in.
[00:57:13.000]
Thank you. And thank you, Stacey.
[00:57:15.000]
Oh, sure.
the State Library of Oregon. And I'm very happy to introduce Stacey Knibloe, who is our
[00:00:13.000]
Gale database trainer and the resources that she's going to be showing you today are part of the State Library's statewide database licensing program, which is our program that provides Gale resources out to
[00:00:32.000]
libraries across Oregon, and we're always thrilled to have Stacy do training for us. And I think I'll just go ahead and turn it over to you, Stacy, to get us started.
[00:00:44.000]
Excellent. Thanks, Arlene. Hi, everybody. Let me go ahead and share my screen.
[00:00:50.000]
And we will…
[00:00:52.000]
have a few slides here to go through. Glad to be with you all virtually today.
[00:00:59.000]
And sharing some of the great stuff out of your Gale resources.
[00:01:03.000]
We're going to be taking a look, starting with, actually let me bring up the agenda so you can just see it in action. Finding Spanish language content for your users.
[00:01:14.000]
And then taking a look at how you can find reliable content in opposing viewpoints
[00:01:19.000]
Sorry, Gale, in context opposing viewpoints, I still want to use its former name.
[00:01:25.000]
And along the way, we'll be sharing about the accessibility tools that are available in all the Gale resources as well.
[00:01:32.000]
That's our plan for the session.
[00:01:35.000]
First of all, we want to serve what you're after. So feel free to use that chat or Q&A. And I believe everybody should have the ability to mute or unmute themselves. So feel free to ask questions that way as well. You can even come off video if you like.
[00:01:50.000]
go ahead and jump in anytime as we go through here. So we were having an issue with our resources that seems to be clearing up, so hopefully it won't slow us down at all.
[00:02:03.000]
As we go through, again, I've got a few slides, so we'll go through those and then give the databases a look, make sure they're behaving as they should.
[00:02:11.000]
Rarely happens, but when it does happen, it does seem to be during a webinar. So let me go ahead and dive in.
[00:02:20.000]
And speak just in general for a minute about what you have from Gale through the State Library of Oregon. So it is a great collection of resources you have
[00:02:31.000]
really something for everybody, we hope. It's a wide ranging collection.
[00:02:36.000]
And I'm going to share these slides after we wrap up.
[00:02:39.000]
So you can have them as kind of a virtual handout because what I've done is, oh.
[00:02:44.000]
I'm not sure.
[00:02:48.000]
One of my slides aren't advancing motion there they go
[00:02:49.000]
These will be more details for you later, just about what resource to use when and which ones are for which types of users. So we're going to go into a couple particular ones, but I thought this just might be useful for later when you're working on
[00:03:05.000]
things with different patrons or students as you go through and kind of decide which resource you want to be in, you'll have some ideas about where to go for what.
[00:03:17.000]
So looking at a few of these, you've got some great general interest resources that speak to lots of different types of users.
[00:03:25.000]
But, you know, vary by reading level.
[00:03:28.000]
You've also got a
[00:03:31.000]
A nice collection of periodical resources. We're going to be talking about a couple of these in particular today.
[00:03:40.000]
And these are all updated every day, new content flowing in all the time from, of course, publications here in the US, but then around the world. And we're going to speak to that a little more specifically too.
[00:03:53.000]
And then some subject specific resources that you may not use quite as often, but of course it's great to have them when you need them, particularly there in the public library, maybe serving a small business.
[00:04:03.000]
owner or entrepreneur, you've got some great stuff here.
[00:04:08.000]
We are going to be taking a look at the health resource and highlighting the Spanish language content there, but this is really designed for
[00:04:16.000]
patients, not doctors. So it's a great tool for consumer health.
[00:04:21.000]
for everybody. And then you've got our Galen Context environmental studies, which looks at kind of different issues surrounding the environment, certainly from a scientific point of view, but also, you know, economically, things like that.
[00:04:35.000]
Let's go ahead. And I apologize, folks, I'm still just a little distracted to keeping an eye on the Slack here to make sure the resources are up and running.
[00:04:43.000]
Again, you've got some more subject specific resources and
[00:04:47.000]
I love the US history database. Certainly it's great for research, but if you've got people who are coming in and reading historical fiction in the library or just history buffs themselves, that's a great database for them to discover.
[00:05:01.000]
Gale One Vow Legal Track covers legal issues. It is law journals, periodicals related to the law, limited full text there, but helpful when you need it.
[00:05:11.000]
Lip finder full of literature content, full text poems, short stories, plays, and so on.
[00:05:19.000]
And then lastly, our readers advisory resource, Gale Books and Authors, to help find your next great read. So it's
[00:05:25.000]
recommended books from genre and subject matter experts and give you
[00:05:32.000]
Lots of fun ways to browse and find your next great book or favorite author.
[00:05:37.000]
All right, so just again, a little reminder about what's available, but now we want to dive into kind of the meat of our session this afternoon, or sorry, this morning for you all.
[00:05:46.000]
Finding content for Spanish speaking users.
[00:05:51.000]
And I worked with Arlene to create a handout. And let me go ahead and put that in the chat. And then I will also send it via email
[00:06:00.000]
After we wrap up today, so you'll have that follow-up.
[00:06:04.000]
And this will detail, again, kind of a good takeaway after today to remind you where to find content in the Gale resources for your Spanish speaking users.
[00:06:14.000]
And it gives you a few tips on searching as well so
[00:06:19.000]
some handy stuff.
[00:06:23.000]
And let me make sure to give you the PDF and not the
[00:06:27.000]
InDesign file here.
[00:06:32.000]
Put that right in the chat. It's also available, and I'll put this
[00:06:37.000]
in the chat as well from the LibGuide that Arlene has created. So I'll include that too.
[00:06:44.000]
So that's kind of a live link to it. Should we make any updates or anything to it, you would get the live link off the LibGuide as well.
[00:06:52.000]
So there are a few different sources we're going to go or a few different resources we're going to go to find Spanish language sources.
[00:06:59.000]
And the one that's always kind of first thought is Gale OneFile: Informe Académico.
[00:07:05.000]
Because that is a Spanish speaking resource. The content there is originally written in Spanish. There are some sources that provide English as well. You might find a few bilingual articles in the collection. But the content there was really built for Spanish speakers.
[00:07:23.000]
And it is when you go in, a completely Spanish language environment, we're going to take a quick look at it just to familiarize you with it. But really, we want to highlight the Spanish content that's elsewhere because, of course, that's what this resource is about.
[00:07:38.000]
kind of the go-to so
[00:07:40.000]
We are going to spend a few minutes in it, but wanted to call that one out here first.
[00:07:45.000]
And then along with some of our other Gale One Fowl resources, Gale Academic One File, Gale General One File also include some Spanish language periodicals.
[00:07:56.000]
I would say, though, if you're looking for magazines, newspapers, academic journals in Spanish, though, Gale OneFile: Informe Académico is going to be your first hit, your first stop.
[00:08:06.000]
So it's nice because they can kind of blend together if you use Gale Power Search.
[00:08:12.000]
but
[00:08:13.000]
And what I wanted to highlight mostly with the academic one file and general one file is that
[00:08:19.000]
you have other languages available there as well in those publications. So Danish, French.
[00:08:25.000]
German, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Turkish.
[00:08:28.000]
are also available. Not in the same scope that we have for Spanish, but a handful for those languages.
[00:08:37.000]
are available too so
[00:08:39.000]
Where we're actually going to get started with our live look at the Spanish language content is in Gale Health and
[00:08:47.000]
A resource you may not think to go to for Spanish language content because
[00:08:50.000]
Generally, most of the Gale databases, everything's in English, but we did find a big need in the health resource
[00:08:56.000]
for Spanish language content.
[00:09:00.000]
So we're going to show you how to seek that out.
[00:09:01.000]
And then the State Library has also put together a collection of ebooks available in Spanish. They are written for younger users, almost like picture book, but with nonfiction content. So we're going to show those off as well.
[00:09:16.000]
So I'm about to dive in, and this is where we'll give the databases their test and make sure they are up and running as
[00:09:23.000]
I've been informed they are so
[00:09:26.000]
Let me see if I can bring up oh I
[00:09:30.000]
have it open here. Okay, here we go. So here's Gale Health and Wellness. You can, of course, get to this through the Libraries of Oregon page.
[00:09:38.000]
It's always available there, but your library may have also set up your own links to the individual Gale resources. So of course, that's a great way to access as well.
[00:09:48.000]
And again, when you come into this resource, it may not be one you would assume that there's going to be Spanish language content because
[00:09:55.000]
Of course, the whole homepage is in English. All of our popular topics here in the
[00:10:02.000]
pick list are listed in English.
[00:10:05.000]
But we do have a feature. Oh, thanks, Arlene, for adding that in the chat. We do have a feature in the Gale resources, and I'm going to use my little annotate tool here.
[00:10:16.000]
to highlight whenever you're in a Gale resource.
[00:10:21.000]
They're in the very top banner of the page.
[00:10:24.000]
is the option to change the interface language. It won't change anything having to do with the content of the database.
[00:10:34.000]
But you'll see when I make that choice here to switch into Spanish.
[00:10:38.000]
All of the buttons in the resource
[00:10:43.000]
And instructions.
[00:10:48.000]
Oh.
[00:10:49.000]
There we go. Yes, sorry.
[00:10:52.000]
You can see the buttons here in the toolbar. Google was offering to translate for me. That threw me off.
[00:10:58.000]
I should remember that it does that every time, but here we have again the buttons here in the resource automatically switch into Spanish.
[00:11:06.000]
our instructions here for searching and to get to advanced search have searched into Spanish.
[00:11:11.000]
Again, the content doesn't change. So you'll see that our carousel here that cycles, this changes every month, cycles through three to five different topics.
[00:11:19.000]
If we scroll down again, looking at the pick list here, these are all still in English. So the content hasn't changed.
[00:11:25.000]
But our instructions.
[00:11:27.000]
And all the buttons on the page have changed.
[00:11:30.000]
The nice thing is all the buttons and everything stay in the same place. So even though I don't speak Spanish, I know what these buttons are going to take me to, but I am going to switch back into English.
[00:11:42.000]
Just for a bit of ease of use for myself.
[00:11:46.000]
So Gale Health and Wellness, from the first tip I want to share for finding Spanish language content in this resource
[00:11:54.000]
is search in Spanish use
[00:11:57.000]
Spanish words to search. So I'm going to do that now for, and I forgive my, forgive my pronunciation here.
[00:12:04.000]
Cardiopateia, which translates to heart disease in English.
[00:12:11.000]
is going to send that search out and bring back Spanish content because I searched in Spanish.
[00:12:18.000]
So that's really the best tip in any of our databases if you're looking for Spanish language content or again, you know, any of the other languages that may be served.
[00:12:26.000]
search in that language and it's going to go out and grab content in that language.
[00:12:30.000]
As it's done here.
[00:12:32.000]
Now, I have results coming from a few different spots. And this is, I think for a lot of folks often a pleasant surprise for health and wellness, the amount of content that's here. It's not just magazine articles. We have reference sources. We've got videos that are available in Spanish. So this is an area of focus for Gale Health and Wellness.
[00:12:54.000]
And what I always like to point out about the reference content in this database, both in English and in Spanish.
[00:13:00.000]
is that this is written for me as the patient, not the doctor, not a medical professional. So if someone has maybe been recently diagnosed with something, they want to get a little more info about it, I'm the kind of person that freezes up at the doctor's office and
[00:13:15.000]
Can't think of a thing to ask them until I walk out the door and then I've got 50 questions. So you've got content here for people like me who need that kind of
[00:13:24.000]
research after the fact, right?
[00:13:28.000]
And if we jump in.
[00:13:30.000]
Again, you'll see this content is in Spanish. Some of it has been translated from English. For example, this is
[00:13:38.000]
Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine.
[00:13:41.000]
And we have had it translated into Spanish, hand translated, I should say. So a person did this translation. This is not a machine translation that you're seeing in action there. We're going to talk about
[00:13:53.000]
our machine translation option later.
[00:13:56.000]
But some of the other sources were originally written by Spanish speakers. So you've got a blend of it here in health and well
[00:14:02.000]
We'll talk about that a little more when we get into Informe, but with Gale Health and Wellness, you've got a blend of content that has been translated from English and then some content that's been written originally in Spanish.
[00:14:14.000]
by Spanish speakers.
[00:14:17.000]
So if we scroll a bit here, these overviews are really great because they give you really thorough information. We can take a look for, again, maybe for those of you who maybe don't speak English as well, we'll take a look at an entry later so you can kind of get an idea of what your users will expect to find here.
[00:14:34.000]
It is really thorough, talks about, in this case, we're looking at heart disease. So the
[00:14:41.000]
description of the condition and then the different factors that can come into play, diagnosis, treatment, things like that, demographics around the condition.
[00:14:51.000]
And in some of these entries, you might even have suggested questions to ask your medical professionals. So that's one of my favorite features of the Gale Encyclopedias that appear in the health databases.
[00:15:02.000]
So lots of great reference content.
[00:15:06.000]
And then we're also keeping up to date with periodicals. So you'll find magazines. And again, this resource is mostly for consumer health, but there are often academic journals here too. If we've got folks who maybe have suffered from a chronic condition for a long time, they may want to be reading the same thing their professionals are. So you'll find a mix of academic journals here too.
[00:15:27.000]
And then really some of the content that people are most excited about are the videos.
[00:15:33.000]
So coming from one of our providers, Health Day.
[00:15:38.000]
And let me go ahead and unmute it here.
[00:15:46.000]
So hopefully that audio is coming through on your end of the webinar as well. What's nice about the video content and almost all of the Gale resources is you will have a transcript too.
[00:15:58.000]
I'm a video fan, but I really like to skim an article and read it first rather than watch a video. So I appreciate having that transcript often. The other thing I like is with our
[00:16:11.000]
Entries that have any sort of text attached to them, you've got the ability to take advantage of our accessibility tools with them. So things like increasing the font.
[00:16:22.000]
or changing the display of the text. And we're going to dig into all these a little more later. But I can also pull this content out. I can choose to email this entry. Now it won't email me the video.
[00:16:33.000]
But I'll get that text that goes along with it. So I still get that information. And then I'll have a link to take me to the video.
[00:16:41.000]
We don't send the videos or if we find any audio files later, we don't actually send the audio files, but we send those transcripts when you choose to email or
[00:16:53.000]
send it to Google Drive or any of those tools there.
[00:16:56.000]
So really handy.
[00:17:01.000]
All right. And just kind of scroll a little bit more with these other magazines, the videos. And then again, as I mentioned.
[00:17:07.000]
A little further there, the academic journals.
[00:17:11.000]
And then the news will be a mix. A lot of this is
[00:17:16.000]
consumer driven as well, but sometimes in an ad in the magazines you'll find
[00:17:19.000]
Things that are kind of for the industry, the health industry. So written for anybody, but kind of targeted towards those who work in health professions.
[00:17:31.000]
That can be great content for them as well. Nice professional development can get accomplished with that.
[00:17:37.000]
Now, another way to seek out this content, I'm going to go ahead and search on diabetes, which is
[00:17:44.000]
the same in both English and Spanish.
[00:17:47.000]
And this is a popular topic. We have a dedicated portal page for it. So everything we have for diabetes, whether it's in English or Spanish, is going to get pulled to
[00:17:57.000]
this page.
[00:17:58.000]
And our overview that we start out with here is always going to be in English.
[00:18:03.000]
But if I go into one of the content types here, if I go into reference magazines.
[00:18:09.000]
What you're going to find is over on the filters on the right hand side of the page, we are able to
[00:18:15.000]
grab up that Spanish content. Again, I'm going to use my annotate tool here just to call this out.
[00:18:23.000]
Make sure I've got my little draw tool on.
[00:18:25.000]
I can isolate to results that are in Spanish. So when you're searching on a term that is in English.
[00:18:32.000]
and Spanish, the same thing.
[00:18:35.000]
you can still get to isolate to Spanish language content with that filter.
[00:18:41.000]
But I also like that filter because it highlights that we have Spanish language content. So the filters are always important.
[00:18:49.000]
And because they're over to the right-hand side of the page, the eye kind of drifts and keeps an eye on what's happening on the left more.
[00:18:54.000]
That's something you'll want to point out to your users is that those filters are there. They're very handy in many ways, but it's also going to expose them to content that they may not realize is available with that in Espanol option.
[00:19:08.000]
So again, looking at reference content here.
[00:19:13.000]
and so on now
[00:19:15.000]
you can see just looking at the hit count, your diabetes is certainly a big topic. So there were lots of articles available in English.
[00:19:22.000]
And if I go back.
[00:19:26.000]
to the homepage here. We do offer an on-demand language translation tool. So if I go into any article, could be reference, could be magazines, news, anything.
[00:19:39.000]
I'm going to have
[00:19:40.000]
the ability to translate it.
[00:19:43.000]
So if, again, I'm going to use my annotate tool here
[00:19:49.000]
You'll see in this row of buttons.
[00:19:52.000]
These are all of our text interaction tools. These are also some of our accessibility tools.
[00:19:57.000]
So you've got…
[00:19:58.000]
a button here to translate.
[00:20:02.000]
And let me go ahead and clear off these drawings so I can actually click it.
[00:20:04.000]
The on-demand language translation actually offers about 50 different languages.
[00:20:11.000]
And these are fairly easy for us to add. So if you and your community are finding a need for a particular language, let us know at Gale.
[00:20:19.000]
And if we don't have it.
[00:20:21.000]
you know, again, it's fairly easy for us to add.
[00:20:25.000]
So if I go ahead and select Spanish there.
[00:20:28.000]
And oh, and let me just point out, I don't know if you noticed, but there's a little reminder there about the interface language option too. So always letting folks know there's that additional help.
[00:20:38.000]
So what it will do with the on-demand language translation is give us a preview. It translates the first couple paragraphs.
[00:20:44.000]
And oh, no, sorry, this was a short article. So it actually translated the whole thing for longer articles, it gives you a little preview.
[00:20:51.000]
So we have the whole article there.
[00:20:54.000]
And what's nice is you keep all of the other tools. So if I need to enlarge the font here.
[00:21:00.000]
I can do that. And you also got the zoom option in your browsers. Our databases will work with that. That enlarges everything.
[00:21:09.000]
Which is a nice feature for webinars. I keep that usually zoomed in a bit more for folks on the other end of the webinar. But the font size tool that we offer is something that just affects the text of the article. So you're not changing the way your whole browser is working. You're just changing that text to make it a little clearer.
[00:21:27.000]
You've also got the display option so we can change the way this looks and make a more needed or wanted reading experience. I, the kind of white and black text can be a little harsh, so
[00:21:39.000]
I might soften that with a sepia background.
[00:21:42.000]
Or I've got a nephew who has a processing issue. He really needs text on a blue or a green background to see it clearly. So I can make that chat setting for him. You can choose different fonts. The open dyslexic font has been really well received.
[00:21:55.000]
Not only for folks who
[00:21:58.000]
have dyslexia, but because we've found it often helps folks read faster. So it's a nice tool to have.
[00:22:06.000]
And then we can change the spacing on the text as well.
[00:22:08.000]
And then just click done here.
[00:22:12.000]
And can read that article in the most comfortable settings or needed settings that I have. And what's nice is it sets a cookie whenever you change those display settings. So if I go into another article.
[00:22:24.000]
Just grab the overview here.
[00:22:26.000]
it remembers that and has kept
[00:22:28.000]
that same look and feel of the text.
[00:22:32.000]
Now, I do need to choose to translate every time I jump into an article. Again, the content
[00:22:40.000]
kind of has to be requested. So this is a longer article. So you can see it's giving us a preview and then I can choose to complete the translation.
[00:22:49.000]
And there it goes.
[00:22:51.000]
And then kind of everybody's favorite accessibility tool is that listen button. So this will
[00:22:59.000]
Read the article to me. It's a little different than a screen reader or maybe other tools you may use.
[00:23:03.000]
Because it's going to read.
[00:23:07.000]
The title of the article and then start in with the article itself. Let me go ahead and pause it so I'm not speaking over it. So it's not like a screen reader. It's not trying to read everything on the screen. You can highlight
[00:23:17.000]
text and have it just read that too. But for the start, it just does the title and then dives right into the article itself. So you get to the good stuff right away.
[00:23:28.000]
And there are lots of settings here. If you go into the
[00:23:32.000]
players menu and you can see it's in Spanish because I've chosen Spanish. So I'm going to again this is a menu I'm not quite as familiar with. So I'm going to go ahead and switch back into English
[00:23:41.000]
As we talk about these.
[00:23:44.000]
So I'm just going to go back to our original language here.
[00:23:47.000]
And then go into those lists and settings.
[00:23:51.000]
So we have an enlarged option here, this tool, Read Speaker, offers its own. You can also download the MP3 of the audio and then listen to it offline.
[00:24:03.000]
So folks can download content. Again, this could be in Spanish. This button would be there available as well. You can download the MP3. There's no digital rights management or anything. It's just an MP3 file.
[00:24:16.000]
can load it onto your phone or wherever you need it and listen at your leisure. So really handy.
[00:24:23.000]
When you go into the settings, I'm just going to mention a couple here that are more popular. The speedometer here will let you speed up or slow down the reading of the text.
[00:24:30.000]
Okay.
[00:24:33.000]
So if folks maybe need it a little slower to raise their comprehension, or if you've got folks who are
[00:24:39.000]
say using a screen reader all the time and they want to speed it up a little, you can do that. Everybody's listening to podcasts at one and a half speed now, right? So can do the same here.
[00:24:48.000]
You've also got the options for changing the way it's highlighting the text as it's reading. So you can disable that if you like or change the colors.
[00:24:57.000]
It gives you a little preview of what that'll look like.
[00:25:01.000]
And then one of my favorite settings just over here on the left in the menu, if I go under other settings.
[00:25:06.000]
We've got the option to turn on a pop-up button.
[00:25:10.000]
And what this does
[00:25:13.000]
is let me actually it's a little easier to show you than to explain it. And I'm also going to kind of switch back to our regular display options here.
[00:25:24.000]
With the pop-up button, what will happen is if you click and drag as if you're going to copy the text.
[00:25:32.000]
It pops open our highlights and notes tool, which has been around for a long time, very handy.
[00:25:38.000]
But it also pops open the listen button. So rather than the listen button kind of staying static up at the top of the page, you've got to click it and then scroll, or actually it'll auto scroll for you if you're listening.
[00:25:51.000]
You don't see it anymore when you move off of the top of the page. With the pop-up button, it brings it with you.
[00:25:57.000]
And you can then have it read just the text that you've highlighted. At different rates based on race or ethnicity.
[00:26:03.000]
At the top of the list by far are American Indians and Alaskan natives at.
[00:26:08.000]
So I didn't quite finish the sentence there but
[00:26:11.000]
So it's a handy way to, again, just read the text you want it to, or I like it too for pronunciation, you know, just highlight a word and have it pronounce it for me.
[00:26:21.000]
handy to turn on that pop-up button.
[00:26:24.000]
And again, that's a newer feature. So something you can enable. And all of these tools I'm using so far in Gale Health and Wellness, these are going to work in your other Gale databases too. So Gale One File News.
[00:26:36.000]
Galen Context Middle School, all of those are going to have these same features.
[00:26:42.000]
So, all right, let me pause here, see if we've got anything in the chat.
[00:26:46.000]
We may want to answer or again, folks, feel free to just unmute yourself and ask a question if you've got any so far.
[00:26:54.000]
Looking at my checklist here, making sure I'm going through all the things I want to show you.
[00:26:59.000]
We're in good shape. All righty. So that filter we offer after you've performed your search is actually also available at advanced search.
[00:27:08.000]
So you can actually start your searches that way using that filter. An advanced search follows us through our time in the resource. It's always just a click away.
[00:27:16.000]
right there next to our basic search.
[00:27:19.000]
And it gives you all of your filters. So not just our, as I'm going to go ahead and use.
[00:27:26.000]
And Espanol feature.
[00:27:27.000]
But all of the others as well. And I particularly like to point out in the health database, the publication date filter.
[00:27:34.000]
So this database has been around for a long time and we've got a back file of periodical content.
[00:27:41.000]
For the reference content, we typically have that current edition. So whatever that current edition is that's out there in print, that's what we have in the database.
[00:27:50.000]
But the periodical content goes back and just keeps getting bigger as we add new content on.
[00:27:55.000]
So I always like to mention that you've got the ability to narrow your search by publication date. So if I only want things that are published
[00:28:02.000]
In the last few years, I can go back, I'll go back say to 2020
[00:28:09.000]
I can make that choice here. And again, that's offered after you've issued your search as well. It's one of the filters, standard filters
[00:28:17.000]
And we can do the same type of search here
[00:28:21.000]
And again, I'm going to use diabetes, but just isolate and limit to an Espanol
[00:28:28.000]
All right. And then everything's going to apply to those filters. You can start your search with those as well.
[00:28:38.000]
So that is what I wanted to show you in Gale Health and Wellness. Arlene, anything, you know.
[00:28:46.000]
you'd like to mention here or remember from when we did this in Oregon, you wanted to highlight
[00:28:52.000]
I don't think so. Yeah, go on.
[00:28:55.000]
Go on to the other resources.
[00:28:57.000]
All right, excellent. Okay.
[00:29:00.000]
So let's pop back.
[00:29:04.000]
I'm going to use our Gale menu here. Oh, I think I can get to Libraries of Oregon now so
[00:29:11.000]
Oh, there it is.
[00:29:14.000]
I think I remember that URL. So here's that portal that we mentioned before. It can get into all of the Gale resources here or all of the Libraries of Oregon resources here.
[00:29:24.000]
So all the different tools that are available.
[00:29:27.000]
And of course, we were just in Gale Health and Wellness.
[00:29:31.000]
We're also now going to jump into Gale ebooks. So this is
[00:29:36.000]
Gale's, oh, that's right. I'm not in Oregon. So let me go ahead.
[00:29:41.000]
And grab this from
[00:29:43.000]
our common menu. I would love to be in Oregon, as Arlene well knows.
[00:29:48.000]
Gale ebooks is our Gale ebook platform so
[00:29:52.000]
Any ebooks from Gale live on this platform and then we partner with other providers to bring their content into as needed.
[00:30:00.000]
And we wanted to build an ebook platform that was very easy to use. There's no
[00:30:05.000]
check in or check out on the Gale ebooks platform. Any number of people can be using the same books at the same time. When we were developing the platform, we're a reference company.
[00:30:17.000]
We don't publish popular novels and things like that people were
[00:30:21.000]
taking, you know, the couple chapters out of a reference book that they needed from us and moving on, right? So we didn't want to build a platform that limited that. And we were really excited to get reference content, you know, available 24 seven, right?
[00:30:35.000]
So our ebook platform is actually very similar to what we were just using with Gale Health and Wellness. Super easy to search. But what I wanted to point out
[00:30:45.000]
And oh, thanks, Arlie, for answering that question there in the chat.
[00:30:50.000]
What I wanted to point out in your Yale ebooks collection is we actually build it around shelves.
[00:30:57.000]
So if you look down the left-hand side.
[00:30:58.000]
And just, of course, if you browse the homepage at all, you'll see they're grouped together by subject area. And there is a Spanish language collection.
[00:31:06.000]
And we partner again with other providers and that's what you've got a collection here. These are for younger users.
[00:31:13.000]
There are a couple titles here that are written at maybe more of a high school reading level, like the Gale Encyclopedia de la Medicina is available here too. It's in Yale Health and Wellness as well.
[00:31:25.000]
But you can see most of the titles here in Spanish are for those younger users.
[00:31:30.000]
And they are books, unlike what we publish at Yale, someone might read these cover to cover. So we created a platform you can do that. So animals of the ocean here, we can actually jump in and view ebook. And this is going to almost act like a
[00:31:45.000]
e-reader, like, you know, like a Kindle or a Nook would where
[00:31:50.000]
we kind of open up with this PDF. We're using our own viewer here. And one of my favorite features here in the viewer is to switch this and actually I'm going to use my annotate tool again
[00:32:04.000]
And I want you to admit it's a smaller button, so I don't want you to miss it. This two page icon here.
[00:32:10.000]
will let me switch into a two-page view.
[00:32:13.000]
like I've got the book open flat on the table.
[00:32:17.000]
Which is nice, particularly for this image or other, you know, because it spans across those two pages with that.
[00:32:24.000]
look at the atlas there.
[00:32:27.000]
And if I'm on a touchscreen, I can swipe to move these pages or since I'm not, I'll just use the arrows here. You can also kind of take over the page. If I switch to
[00:32:38.000]
the full screen view, it kind of takes over my monitor
[00:32:43.000]
Don't chew your paw.
[00:32:44.000]
So this could almost, oh, sorry, question?
[00:32:48.000]
So this is something, you know, if you were using a tablet or something, you could almost do a, you know, almost story hour with these types of titles.
[00:32:55.000]
And just kind of flip through the book.
[00:32:58.000]
by swiping or again, taking advantage of that arrow and read through those.
[00:33:07.000]
And if we pop back.
[00:33:12.000]
Again, you can see, I just want to pause here for a second, kind of see the titles that are available there.
[00:33:18.000]
Now, what held true in Gale Health and Wellness is going to hold here true as well. If we have content we want to search.
[00:33:27.000]
because we
[00:33:29.000]
Sorry, folks. I'm sorry, I think I'm still discombobulated from the database issue that started us off. So I'm talking over myself a bit.
[00:33:37.000]
So you can search in Spanish to find this content as well, because with our ebook platform, we wanted the best of both worlds. Be able to browse a book and flip through it like you would if it were in print.
[00:33:47.000]
But then also just search it and find those couple chapters that you might need.
[00:33:52.000]
So if I search here in Spanish, it's going to react just like we did in Gale Health and Wellness and bring back Spanish language content. So again, I've searched here on Given Sia, dementia in English. It's brought back results from that Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, as well as the dictionary tool that's available.
[00:34:11.000]
In your ebook collection.
[00:34:13.000]
So you can jump right into the Spanish language content here too with a search.
[00:34:19.000]
And when you come from a surge, you always get kind of the
[00:34:23.000]
or not kind of the text view of the ebook. We always want it in both formats, kind of that pseudo PDF that we use our own viewer with and the e-text version.
[00:34:34.000]
Because with the e-text version, or just text version we call it now, you're going to have all those on-demand tools to translate, to change the font, to change the display options, the listen.
[00:34:47.000]
And then we'll talk more about the retrieval tools here in a minute.
[00:34:49.000]
It is a great way to seek out that content.
[00:34:53.000]
and take advantage of the tools when you come from a search. So always going to get that text view here.
[00:35:01.000]
So I did want to pop into Gale OneFile.
[00:35:06.000]
Informe Académico just for a minute
[00:35:09.000]
Because again, this is kind of the first thought when you've got folks who are looking for Spanish language content, this would probably be your first stop.
[00:35:16.000]
It is a completely Spanish language environment with the exception of some sources are available in both Spanish and English
[00:35:25.000]
But you jump into this resource and immediately it is in Spanish, the interface as well as the content.
[00:35:31.000]
And what I really want to point out here is what type of content you can expect to find here. So whenever you hear Gale One File, it does primarily mean magazines, journals, news sources.
[00:35:46.000]
That's periodicals is basically
[00:35:48.000]
the product family that we call Gale OneFile.
[00:35:51.000]
And each of our publications
[00:35:54.000]
And I'm going to share this in my follow-up email. Each of our databases have a dedicated title list that shows you what's in the database.
[00:36:04.000]
So I've loaded up Gale Health and Wellness and Informe Académico title list here and
[00:36:08.000]
What I love about these title lists is you can work with them and filter them. So what I've done is isolate to the news sources, the newspapers. I've isolated the
[00:36:18.000]
format here to newspaper. And of course, you know, the language is Spanish. There is a handful of Portuguese titles in this collection too, but so I just isolated to Spanish.
[00:36:27.000]
And then I narrowed further to the country of publication being Mexico.
[00:36:31.000]
So if I've got users who are from Mexico and want to keep up with the news.
[00:36:36.000]
You can actually do that in Informe Académico. I see I've got four publications here. If I go back to Informa Academica, we offer a publication search.
[00:36:45.000]
And I will not try to pronounce the full name of it here there, but that's what we're getting this lower right-hand corner. Again, remember, you can always switch into English if you need a little help as well and switch that interface into English.
[00:36:57.000]
And I can search on
[00:36:59.000]
El Norte.
[00:37:04.000]
And I can actually pull up a day's paper. With the publication search, you can go back and look at back issues.
[00:37:09.000]
Or the feature I really wanted to highlight here
[00:37:15.000]
turn on and create a search or sorry, a journal alert
[00:37:20.000]
So that I can get this delivered to my inbox every day.
[00:37:23.000]
I can just show up in my email or if anybody uses a
[00:37:28.000]
RSS aggregator like
[00:37:30.000]
Feedly or something like that, you can actually
[00:37:33.000]
pull it into your RSS feed.
[00:37:36.000]
But you can also just sign up for an email there.
[00:37:38.000]
And with a newspaper, I'd have it checked daily and just send me the new issues every day.
[00:37:45.000]
So…
[00:37:48.000]
informing.
[00:37:51.000]
All right, just checking the chat, see if there's anything else I can help out with.
[00:37:55.000]
good shape.
[00:37:58.000]
All righty. So again, your go-to for Spanish language content is going to be
[00:38:02.000]
Gale OneFile Informe Académico and again
[00:38:05.000]
I'll just switch it back to its default state here with the Spanish language interface.
[00:38:10.000]
So by default, that will come up, but you can always make that change as needed.
[00:38:14.000]
within the resource. You can do the same thing with a
[00:38:23.000]
search on a topic. So if I want to follow
[00:38:28.000]
Oh, I'll just type here. Sorry, I forgot.
[00:38:31.000]
climate change, Cambio Climateico
[00:38:34.000]
And again, forgive my pronunciations here.
[00:38:37.000]
You want to, again, search in Spanish, just like we have in the others to get to your content.
[00:38:43.000]
And then you might recognize that icon here up in that toolbar, that little dot with the waves coming from it. That is our search alert for this search topic.
[00:38:53.000]
So rather than coming in and doing the search again and again and seeing what's new, I can just set up an alert
[00:38:59.000]
And it can let me know when there's new content.
[00:39:01.000]
And this is where I might choose something, certainly something like climate change, which is written about pretty often. I might change this instead of searching for new content every day to weekly or monthly.
[00:39:11.000]
And then just get that email, land right in my inbox when there's new content.
[00:39:16.000]
Really handy feature. And again, a great way for folks to keep up on either maybe
[00:39:21.000]
the country and the news they were interested in or just a topic they're interested in and want to stay up to date on.
[00:39:27.000]
So it can be great for professional development as well.
[00:39:31.000]
So this is journal alerts and search alerts are a standard feature of the Gale One File resources so
[00:39:38.000]
You can do it here, of course, in Informa Académico, but say you want to follow what's happening with your favorite author and Gale general info, it'll work there too.
[00:39:48.000]
All right, so we're doing pretty good on time. We wanted to budget for questions and uh
[00:39:55.000]
Oh, great question, V. So if someone wants to turn off those alerts, is that something you have to help with or is it through their email? It's all through their email.
[00:40:04.000]
So when you set up an alert, you'll get, as soon as you set it up, you'll get a confirmation in your email.
[00:40:09.000]
And even from, I think, that confirmation email, you have the ability to turn it off. So if you're like, you know what? No, I don't need this alert. You can immediately unsubscribe. But then every email you get after that has the updates for you at the very bottom will have the option to unsubscribe.
[00:40:25.000]
So yeah, that's nothing anybody at the library would have to help folks with. They can always unsubscribe on their own right from that email we send them.
[00:40:32.000]
So great question.
[00:40:37.000]
Alrighty, so let me just look at my checklist here.
[00:40:43.000]
Yep. All right. I think we did everything I wanted to cover. Let me just come back and check the slide. Arlene, can you think of anything else we covered?
[00:40:53.000]
on seeking out that Spanish language content?
[00:41:04.000]
Yes.
[00:41:05.000]
No, no, I think you've covered it really well. I think we did say that we were going to talk a little bit about opposing viewpoints. So yeah, if you wanted.
[00:41:06.000]
I'm going to leave a little time for that.
[00:41:07.000]
Yeah.
[00:41:08.000]
Yeah. Because we sat for an hour, but wanted to, I know we got started a little late and wanted to allow 45 minutes. So I'm running a little…
[00:41:18.000]
behind but uh
[00:41:22.000]
Give folks time for questions in this resource as well. So Gale in context opposing viewpoints, I think is
[00:41:28.000]
To borrow a phrase, I've been using kind of first thought for a lot of student assignments. You know, you've got kids who are maybe
[00:41:35.000]
participating in a debate at school or they're writing a paper about something.
[00:41:40.000]
You know, Yale in context is really great for students.
[00:41:45.000]
But it is an excellent resource for adults as well.
[00:41:48.000]
And I think it's especially helpful around everything that we are currently dealing with in the world because
[00:41:56.000]
When you're watching the news, you're getting what's happening now.
[00:42:00.000]
But if you want to know kind of how we got where we are, this is going to be a great resource.
[00:42:06.000]
Because not only does it provide viewpoints, which can be really informative in another way, right, and help folks develop their own opinions or, you know.
[00:42:13.000]
come up with arguments of their own. There is a ton of reference content in these databases and
[00:42:19.000]
Of course, I do mean reference in the terms of reference books, but also things like
[00:42:24.000]
or other reference type sources statistics
[00:42:27.000]
And infographics and things like that that can just provide a lot of good info around a topic.
[00:42:35.000]
So when we are looking at today's issues, this is an excellent resource for adults. And we wanted just to highlight some ways you might use it with adults. So just given a few topics there over on the right, but really gale and context opposing viewpoints kind of runs the gamut for subject
[00:42:55.000]
areas so
[00:42:58.000]
Let me go ahead and grab that one as well.
[00:43:03.000]
And you'll see, hopefully, again, a lot of commonalities between the way all these resources look. So there's that on-demand language option up there for the interface. We're going to have the translation tool here too.
[00:43:17.000]
All of those features are still available.
[00:43:20.000]
So looking at the homepage.
[00:43:24.000]
is really a good way to get an idea of the scope of the resource.
[00:43:28.000]
But I love to have adults browse a page like this because they're going to see things that resonate with them. Again, things we're hearing about on the news.
[00:43:38.000]
or things we may care about ourselves.
[00:43:39.000]
You can always go in by these broad topics, say browse all of the society and culture topics, law and politics, or there's this big browse of
[00:43:47.000]
Currently, the 486 issues that we have created topic pages for.
[00:43:53.000]
If you don't see something on this page, doesn't mean we don't cover it. This just means it's got a dedicated portal page behind it.
[00:44:02.000]
So that when we click, it'll look like that diabetes page that we had in Gale Health and Wellness. So if I jump into
[00:44:09.000]
I'll say go into privacy.
[00:44:10.000]
you've got this dedicated jumping off point. And this is really one of my favorite places to start. Say, for example, if we are interested in
[00:44:20.000]
reading more about the Israeli-Palestinian
[00:44:24.000]
Palestinian conflict, pardon me
[00:44:27.000]
Again, we hear what's happening on the news at night, right? Or all day if we want.
[00:44:33.000]
But this is going to be able to give us the background. And that's why I love a topic overview that kicks off this page because
[00:44:41.000]
Of course, you know, it's, you know, a long
[00:44:45.000]
entry, but not long enough to cover all of it, right? But you get kind of the big milestones and things like that. So it is
[00:44:55.000]
a good way to just get a better handle maybe on what's happening.
[00:44:59.000]
And if you look to the right.
[00:45:03.000]
Meaning over here, the explore panel for these articles are a good way to start easing into other bits of content.
[00:45:10.000]
Because you can have a lot of hits on your search result or a portal page like the one I was looking at.
[00:45:18.000]
And that can get a little overwhelming. So I almost like the explore panel as a way to almost tiptoe through other results.
[00:45:26.000]
And just move from article to article or even just you can branch off into related subjects too from that explore panel. It's an easy way to kind of
[00:45:34.000]
move along. And often the more like this have been pushed there directly by our product team to take you to that next good article.
[00:45:44.000]
So sometimes they're auto generated results, but other times we've kind of had a hand in those with that more like this button takes you to.
[00:45:57.000]
Oh, thank you, Jamie.
[00:46:00.000]
All right, so the portal itself, let me actually get back to that for a minute.
[00:46:08.000]
So we named the databases after them. So of course you're going to get viewpoint essays. But what's nice in this resource is we are not going out and randomly grabbing
[00:46:18.000]
you know, blog posts from anywhere I’m posting these
[00:46:21.000]
We aren't even really writing these ourselves because that's not the real world. If we go ahead and jump into an entry here.
[00:46:28.000]
what we've done, and I am just going to set my display up. Oh, I've got my font large. That's what I have going there.
[00:46:35.000]
What we've done is rather than having our writers take a pro and a con approach to a topic or something like that.
[00:46:42.000]
write an article in support and an article against.
[00:46:46.000]
Again, that's not the real world. What we've done is gone and looked for articles
[00:46:51.000]
that have been written by people who know what they're talking about, have experience in the issue.
[00:46:58.000]
And then provided those here with a commentary where we introduced that viewpoint. So talk about where this is coming from.
[00:47:05.000]
and even prompt with
[00:47:06.000]
a suggested questions to think about as you are reading through the article. So kind of questioning opinionated writing, which is going to help build
[00:47:17.000]
critical thinking skills in everybody. And again, this is always a popular resource with kids. So it's a great way to kind of start them
[00:47:23.000]
you know helping them think that way.
[00:47:27.000]
So the viewpoint essays
[00:47:28.000]
are really just one piece.
[00:47:31.000]
Because if we keep scrolling, there's going to be a lot more content, reference articles, biographies, statistics.
[00:47:37.000]
So you can get that hard data from the infographics and the statistics to kind of have numbers.
[00:47:43.000]
You have primary sources, video content.
[00:47:47.000]
And again, this really runs the gamut. So if we go ahead and jump in, say.
[00:47:52.000]
looking for content around AI.
[00:47:56.000]
You'll find the same viewpoint essays, but then other content to help support it. So we can just gather that information and gain more
[00:48:05.000]
info around the topic and more knowledge around the topic. So you can decide, you know, how we feel about AI.
[00:48:12.000]
conflicted, I think, is how many of us feel. But that's what's really illuminating to have
[00:48:18.000]
around these topics is getting that good, reliable info. Because of course, what you're going to find is, let me just pop into one of our entries here.
[00:48:30.000]
Everything is cited. You know where it came from, right? You know what's coming from Gale, but where did we get it? If we didn't write it, where did we get it? And you're always going to find that in the source citation.
[00:48:41.000]
You always know when it was published. It's always going to have a date on it. So you can always, of course, also
[00:48:48.000]
the bottom of our page, we're going to have our contact us info so you can reach out if you've got a question about something you find in the resources.
[00:48:56.000]
So there's always somebody there to kind of back up or investigate what you're finding if you need it.
[00:49:02.000]
So those things we are trying to teach kids
[00:49:06.000]
When they're doing research, those hold true for us as adults too. Where did we get our info from, right? Is it an authoritative source?
[00:49:14.000]
We're curating these databases with our content and other providers, right?
[00:49:20.000]
But we always want folks to know that they can reach out to us about that. I'll share and again, my follow-up email, our content curation page that goes into detail about how we build these databases.
[00:49:31.000]
So that you can feel comfortable, but so that your patrons and your students can feel comfortable using them, knowing where everything came from.
[00:49:39.000]
So this is not just for kids research papers. This is a database really for everybody.
[00:49:47.000]
So let me take a look at my
[00:49:49.000]
Notes here.
[00:49:51.000]
Oh, the last thing I just wanted to mention, we…
[00:49:56.000]
I think we had all the accessibility tools.
[00:49:57.000]
The last thing I'll leave you with that can be handy for accessibility as well
[00:50:03.000]
Let me just jump into an entry here.
[00:50:06.000]
is we have our retrieval options, so you can always print out the content.
[00:50:11.000]
And because a lot of folks will read better on a piece of paper. Again, it's going to keep our font size here too, so you can print it in a bigger font.
[00:50:19.000]
So the same way that a lot of folks like to borrow, you know, whether they need it or they just prefer it, a large print book, you can do the same thing with the resources.
[00:50:26.000]
You can also pull out the content
[00:50:31.000]
into Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. You're going to have those options up here in the toolbar too, that send to button will offer
[00:50:37.000]
export out to Google and OneDrive.
[00:50:41.000]
Of course, you can almost also email it.
[00:50:44.000]
So folks keep track of content in those places and then work with other tools.
[00:50:49.000]
you can pull our content out there just as easily and make use of whatever tools they may be taking advantage of, whatever plugins or things that may come with their Microsoft or Google tools.
[00:50:58.000]
So always going to have those options as well. There's also a lot of work that we do behind the scenes around accessibility. So our choice and font, the colors that we're using for the different boxes, for the font that we're using versus the white background.
[00:51:16.000]
There's a lot of work going on behind the scenes.
[00:51:19.000]
Should you need it, we have our VPATs published on gale.com.
[00:51:24.000]
So that you can definitely look at more detail, kind of see where we fall in the various accessibility guidelines.
[00:51:33.000]
And again, that's something I'll include in my follow-up email. So if you want to dig deeper into the accessibility, we've got tools to help you do that.
[00:51:42.000]
So this is, again.
[00:51:46.000]
A resource for everybody.
[00:51:50.000]
So not just a research tool.
[00:51:55.000]
All righty, looks like we've got about six minutes left. Let me go ahead and share a few more things.
[00:52:01.000]
So I had some reminders about the accessibility tools in case we needed them, but we were able to look at all of them.
[00:52:07.000]
Wanted to share our support site from Gale. This is built around Oregon's resources. When you go to support.Gale.com slash Oregon.
[00:52:16.000]
you're going to find a Dropbox where you can choose your library from the list.
[00:52:22.000]
And then it customizes all the materials to what you get from Gale. So all of our marketing materials, our training materials.
[00:52:30.000]
all the tech support material that's out there are all going to customize to just what you get from Gale rather than the, you know.
[00:52:37.000]
200, 300 or so databases we put out. So this is a great way to
[00:52:42.000]
get started with that support content by just filtering to only what you have from us rather than having to weed through it. But not needing to recreate the wheel is one of the main points of the support site. So we've got marketing materials for you to help promote the resources with your users.
[00:52:59.000]
We've got training materials you can make use of, of course, to train yourself, but then also to train others.
[00:53:05.000]
Fun activities, things like that. So lots of good stuff out at the support site.
[00:53:10.000]
And then again, you can always reach out to your Gale team. I'm your trainer. And if I don't have an answer, I know where to go to get it. So feel free to start with me.
[00:53:20.000]
you'll be getting an email from me after the session again with all those things I mentioned. So feel free to just reply to that.
[00:53:25.000]
You also have our
[00:53:29.000]
dedicated teams for customer support. So our customer success team for K-12 public and special libraries
[00:53:36.000]
And then our academic outreach and engagement services team for our academic libraries.
[00:53:41.000]
They can help if you want to kind of interpret your search or sorry, well, your search results if you want, but I meant to say usage statistics.
[00:53:47.000]
Or even get those if you're not now and you'd like to. You've got
[00:53:53.000]
a wealth of information from these folks. They work with these libraries all the time so they can share success stories for promotion ideas and things like that.
[00:54:02.000]
Of course, your Gale sales consultant is always available to you. And then tech support is always available to you. So the little issue we were experiencing at the start of the webinar where we couldn't get into the databases, that is a call to tech support. And actually that
[00:54:17.000]
Reminds me, I should have the phone number here so I
[00:54:21.000]
You know, don't mind emailing tech support when you're looking for a username or password or something like that but
[00:54:29.000]
When the databases are down.
[00:54:32.000]
I like to pick up the phone. So that 800 number will get you our tech support as well as everybody else in the company too.
[00:54:39.000]
And then again, that support site for that on-demand help looking for support.
[00:54:43.000]
So Arlena, anything to add?
[00:54:52.000]
No, I don't think so. I…
[00:54:54.000]
Thank you so much. I think you do have at the end, you'll also
[00:55:02.000]
Yes.
[00:55:03.000]
be getting a evaluation, a session evaluation that'll be a part of that following email. And I just wanted to mention it's really helpful for the state library that you fill out that evaluation. It helps us understand what people's needs are around training.
[00:55:18.000]
But I also did want to mention that we also take suggestions for other topics for training. So please
[00:55:25.000]
If there are other things that you want to learn more about or you'd like to maybe set up some in-person training at your specific library.
[00:55:35.000]
please do reach out to me. I'm happy to talk about the options available and kind of do a little bit more customized
[00:55:43.000]
kinds of trainings, depending on what your needs are. So feel free to reach out to me directly around that.
[00:55:50.000]
Yes. And folks, I'm going to go ahead and put our evaluation in the chat as well. I apologize. I mentioned to have that on the screen here, too.
[00:55:58.000]
Normally, we have you exit out to it
[00:56:01.000]
But, um.
[00:56:04.000]
I'm not able to do that with the Zoom meeting we were on today. So again, like Arlie mentioned, it'll be in my follow-up email, but I meant to include it here on the slide as well. So just threw it into the chat there.
[00:56:16.000]
too.
[00:56:18.000]
All righty. So that's everything I wanted to cover. We had…
[00:56:24.000]
planned for about 45 minutes worth of content, but with our slightly late start and the discombobulated, we wanted, of course, allow a good amount of time for questions too.
[00:56:33.000]
Since Arlene was so efficient there in the chat taking care of all those, I, uh.
[00:56:37.000]
Okay.
[00:56:40.000]
I think we're letting y'all out a whole minute early. So thanks everybody for attending. I'm going to keep things open and interactive here just to see if any other questions should come through. But thanks so much for tuning in today and taking the time out of your day to learn more about these resources. We hope it was
[00:56:57.000]
what you had in mind. And I'll have that email out to you a little later today. I need to process the recording and get that posted, but I should have that email out to you this afternoon.
[00:57:08.000]
Thanks all again for tuning in.
[00:57:13.000]
Thank you. And thank you, Stacey.
[00:57:15.000]
Oh, sure.
