Gale Training

[00:00:05.820]
Welcome in. Again everyone. Today

[00:00:07.860]
we have a Gale 101 session which

[00:00:09.880]
is focused on Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:00:12.099]
My name is Amber Winters

[00:00:14.519]
and I am your training consultant for the day.

[00:00:17.929]
So today we're first going to overview

[00:00:20.129]
Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints. So what you

[00:00:22.179]
can expect some of the different features

[00:00:24.440]
you're going to see, we're going to talk about

[00:00:26.559]
some of the key content that you might want to highlight

[00:00:28.839]
for your users who are coming in.

[00:00:30.929]
But we'll spend the majority of the time actually in the

[00:00:32.959]
resource kind of clicking through the different workflows

[00:00:35.240]
available. We'll take a look at how you can both

[00:00:37.298]
browse and search and we'll also take

[00:00:39.389]
a look at all of the great tools your users are going

[00:00:41.459]
to have access to through the

[00:00:43.859]
platform.

[00:00:45.779]
And then at the very end of the session, we'll have

[00:00:47.950]
some time for questions and I have some wrap up contact

[00:00:50.259]
information for you as well. If you have

[00:00:52.439]
questions as we move along through the session

[00:00:54.569]
again, feel free to put those into the Q and A,

[00:00:56.829]
I should be able to answer them as we move along.

[00:00:59.329]
If that Q and A does get a little bit backed up,

[00:01:01.469]
then I will wait until the very end to answer your questions.

[00:01:03.868]
But if it's in the Q and A, it

[00:01:05.909]
will get answered. So don't worry if we have to wait until the

[00:01:07.959]
very end.

[00:01:11.480]
So let's get started here. So Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:01:13.918]
is of course focused

[00:01:16.069]
on

[00:01:16.888]
just that viewpoints. It's a current

[00:01:19.028]
event focused resource that's specifically

[00:01:21.569]
designed for high schoolers up

[00:01:23.609]
through adult learners. So we're talking

[00:01:25.909]
high school, undergrads, graduates,

[00:01:28.400]
as well as general researchers that you may

[00:01:30.469]
have come into your public library who are

[00:01:32.500]
looking for insights into current events.

[00:01:34.730]
and this material is updated continuously.

[00:01:36.989]
So they're going to find,

[00:01:38.719]
you know, materials that were published yesterday.

[00:01:41.250]
that's going to really highlight exactly what's

[00:01:43.308]
going on. It's going to give them context around

[00:01:45.609]
that event or that topic or

[00:01:47.650]
that's

[00:01:49.528]
individual, maybe they're trying to research an individual,

[00:01:52.480]
it's going to provide the context around that

[00:01:54.918]
topic. It's going to help them research

[00:01:57.079]
and it's also going to highlight different opinions.

[00:01:59.308]
So not only are they getting the facts

[00:02:01.480]
about whatever topic they're looking at, say it's

[00:02:03.989]
global climate change, they're going to get the facts

[00:02:06.588]
and the science and they're also going to get

[00:02:08.719]
opinions and viewpoint essays to kind of

[00:02:10.750]
allow them to think critically and develop

[00:02:13.058]
their own thoughts about whatever those topics they're

[00:02:15.088]
looking at are

[00:02:17.490]
and this does have a broad range of coverage.

[00:02:19.669]
Again, this is focused high school and above

[00:02:21.868]
leveled content.

[00:02:23.409]
So they will find things that are pretty

[00:02:25.699]
high level related to things like medicine,

[00:02:28.368]
economics, politics, different

[00:02:30.838]
cultural ideas, the environments.

[00:02:33.610]
There's a huge technology collection,

[00:02:35.750]
of course, technology is moving so

[00:02:37.889]
fast. There are a lot of hot topics

[00:02:40.258]
that you're going to find within

[00:02:42.288]
Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:02:44.500]
and what I love with this resource is the content

[00:02:46.889]
type is really varied. So you're not just getting,

[00:02:49.250]
you know, reference articles and

[00:02:51.338]
essays, you're also getting things like

[00:02:53.649]
visual statistics and multimedia

[00:02:55.949]
tools and things like that. So we're

[00:02:58.129]
trying to reach all learners and all

[00:03:00.240]
users whatever they need. If they're having

[00:03:02.490]
trouble reading, if they're struggling readers,

[00:03:04.800]
they want to drop in and take a look at a podcast,

[00:03:07.210]
you know, if they need some sort of statistic

[00:03:10.399]
for a project they're working on, they can

[00:03:12.439]
pull that content type instead. So it's a really

[00:03:14.580]
nice mix of all of these different

[00:03:16.830]
contents that are going to hit

[00:03:18.889]
almost every aspect of learning

[00:03:20.919]
about a current event.

[00:03:23.569]
And I do just want to hit on a few of those key content

[00:03:25.909]
types. So if you do have users starting to come

[00:03:27.929]
into your library or if I have teachers

[00:03:30.469]
on the line having students come into your classroom,

[00:03:33.000]
you may want to keep these just in the back of your mind

[00:03:35.319]
to kind of point them as they're starting their research.

[00:03:37.500]
So of course, the first what you're going to

[00:03:39.558]
expect and that kind of database is going

[00:03:41.618]
to be your reference articles. So these are

[00:03:43.710]
going to give the background

[00:03:45.889]
kind of that ground level understanding

[00:03:48.080]
of whatever topic that's really going to get

[00:03:50.229]
them started in their research. But

[00:03:52.270]
most likely that's not where they're going to end,

[00:03:54.379]
they're going to get that background knowledge and they're going to need

[00:03:56.469]
to use that somehow.

[00:03:58.308]
So moving from there, they're also going to find

[00:04:00.500]
viewpoint essays. So this is moving forward

[00:04:02.838]
to actually getting opinion pieces.

[00:04:05.330]
And what's great is we don't label those opinion

[00:04:07.460]
pieces. Procon

[00:04:09.159]
um We include

[00:04:11.038]
opinions from all different angles and

[00:04:13.069]
your users have to read it and kind of figure out,

[00:04:15.270]
you know, is this pro whatever topic I'm learning

[00:04:17.358]
about, you know, is it pro increasing

[00:04:19.678]
the minimum wage, is it against it?

[00:04:21.980]
They have to really think critically about that to

[00:04:23.988]
understand what the author is trying to say.

[00:04:27.259]
We also have really amazing statistics.

[00:04:29.619]
A lot of them are actually interactive infographics,

[00:04:32.660]
which is going to let your users hover over

[00:04:34.850]
different parts of charts and graphs to understand

[00:04:37.160]
what they're saying. So this is really

[00:04:39.778]
beneficial if you have students coming

[00:04:42.069]
in either in a public library setting or a K 12

[00:04:44.290]
setting, who are building projects

[00:04:46.480]
and who need to have that kind of scientific

[00:04:48.608]
backup for what they're saying.

[00:04:50.459]
They'll be able to access those within Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:04:52.588]
and they can actually

[00:04:54.889]
download them and add them to projects or add

[00:04:57.079]
them to homework assignments. Or you as an

[00:04:59.088]
educator can maybe use

[00:05:01.199]
one as a

[00:05:02.088]
bell ringer. You know, have your students evaluate

[00:05:04.548]
a specific statistic while you're taking

[00:05:06.678]
attendance or have it as a discussion

[00:05:08.939]
post and a discussion board. Really, the

[00:05:11.709]
the uses are endless for these great statistics that

[00:05:13.829]
we have available.

[00:05:15.910]
Another key feature you may want to keep

[00:05:18.088]
in the back of your mind. Here are our multimedia

[00:05:20.470]
tools. So we've got a huge collection of images

[00:05:23.309]
of video files and the videos are usually

[00:05:25.500]
pretty short. Um I don't think I've seen

[00:05:27.738]
many over the 10 minute mark, so they're

[00:05:29.819]
really great at trying to

[00:05:31.709]
give quick bites of information

[00:05:33.750]
as opposed to trying to have someone log on

[00:05:35.769]
and watch a 30 minutes session like we're

[00:05:37.819]
doing today.

[00:05:38.759]
It's really designed to help your users

[00:05:40.798]
just get that quick bit of information and kind

[00:05:43.129]
of move forward. We also have great podcasts

[00:05:45.829]
in here. So if you have users who prefer

[00:05:47.869]
to listen to their materials, they'll

[00:05:50.309]
be able to do that right within Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:05:52.548]
as well.

[00:05:55.528]
Got a huge news and magazine collection

[00:05:58.009]
again, which is updated daily. So

[00:06:00.269]
your users are going to see the,

[00:06:02.798]
excuse me, the top articles that are

[00:06:04.838]
being released and they're going to be able to go through

[00:06:07.439]
and read all of that information to really

[00:06:09.459]
kind of bring what's going on around them

[00:06:12.329]
to the forefront and really to

[00:06:14.639]
in front of them. And what I love is they can

[00:06:16.678]
pair that news with our reference articles.

[00:06:19.178]
So if they read this news article and they're just like,

[00:06:21.199]
I don't know what this is saying.

[00:06:23.579]
I know it's important but I don't know what this topic

[00:06:25.678]
means. They can just click back into

[00:06:27.709]
one of our reference articles, get that background

[00:06:29.980]
knowledge and come back to the news. So

[00:06:32.459]
it's really a one stop shop. They're starting

[00:06:34.819]
from that very beginning all the way

[00:06:36.879]
up to where they need to be and they can go back at any

[00:06:39.069]
time to find content.

[00:06:41.759]
I've also included in here primary sources

[00:06:44.269]
and this resource isn't one

[00:06:46.329]
that oftentimes you think about finding primary

[00:06:48.559]
sources and you know, we're talking about current

[00:06:50.889]
events in primary sources being in the past

[00:06:53.220]
sometimes contradicts a little bit.

[00:06:55.338]
But what's great is we do have those primary

[00:06:57.459]
sources. So if you have a student coming

[00:06:59.488]
in researching maybe smoking

[00:07:02.220]
in public health and they not only want to talk about

[00:07:04.379]
what we're doing now, but they want to look historically,

[00:07:06.750]
what have we done in the past? What sort of marketing

[00:07:08.970]
has there been around smoking?

[00:07:10.709]
You know, what did health care professionals

[00:07:13.040]
say about smoking back in the day?

[00:07:15.439]
They can find those primary sources here as

[00:07:17.449]
well. Which is a nice feature. Again

[00:07:19.778]
that you wouldn't really think about, that's just a little bit hidden

[00:07:22.798]
and I didn't include it on this page. And I realize

[00:07:24.949]
now that I probably should have, but we do have a

[00:07:26.959]
huge collection of academic journals

[00:07:29.088]
in this resource as well. So if

[00:07:31.290]
you're in, you know, the public library field

[00:07:33.428]
or if you're working with 12th graders or undergrads

[00:07:35.608]
and they're using the academic content,

[00:07:38.338]
they're going to find a whole huge collection of that

[00:07:40.470]
within this resource as well. So that's another

[00:07:42.988]
level of content for them.

[00:07:47.720]
Now, I wanna go ahead and jump into the resource. I

[00:07:49.738]
haven't seen any questions pop up in my

[00:07:51.750]
Q and A but as I switch over my screen,

[00:07:54.220]
do you have any questions at all about

[00:07:56.230]
just that kind of that basic overview of

[00:07:58.470]
Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:08:00.069]


[00:08:05.988]
OK. I don't see any. Give me a second here.

[00:08:09.149]
Wanna make sure I am not signed out of the resource. Its been

[00:08:11.269]
sitting inactive in my browser for a while.

[00:08:14.410]
OK. So this is the homepage of Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:08:16.480]
And I do want to

[00:08:18.500]
kind of orient us as we start to click through.

[00:08:21.009]
So our search bar is always going to be in the

[00:08:23.119]
top left here no matter where we click

[00:08:25.259]
in the resource, we'll have access to that

[00:08:27.910]
scrolling down on the home page. Our

[00:08:30.470]
toolbar here has a few different

[00:08:32.538]
tools available for your patrons.

[00:08:34.678]
Even before they click into an article

[00:08:36.750]
or an image or whatever it may be.

[00:08:38.489]
they'll be able to browse through issues. They

[00:08:40.609]
can take a look at a title list, they can

[00:08:42.729]
view their search history.

[00:08:44.399]
They have this great get link feature that we're

[00:08:46.548]
going to take a look at in a bit

[00:08:48.500]
and then they can click and see any highlights and

[00:08:50.599]
notes that they took throughout the session, which we'll look at

[00:08:52.710]
once we get into an article

[00:08:55.190]
scrolling down from, there are issues

[00:08:57.219]
of interest change monthly sometimes

[00:08:59.649]
more. You know, if something big happens in the world and

[00:09:01.678]
we, you know, want to highlight that within the resource,

[00:09:04.099]
you know, like a natural disaster or something like that.

[00:09:06.690]
You may see this updated more than more

[00:09:09.259]
frequently than monthly, but generally speaking,

[00:09:11.320]
it's updated monthly. So this

[00:09:13.349]
is great if you know, your users aren't quite

[00:09:15.519]
sure what they want to learn about.

[00:09:17.979]
They can just take a look at kind of what we've decided

[00:09:20.340]
to pull forward. Things that have been

[00:09:22.658]
kind of in focus in the media recently,

[00:09:25.989]
then scrolling down from there.

[00:09:27.830]
They're going to see all of our issues

[00:09:29.908]
that we have topic pages created

[00:09:32.340]
for. So here I want to mention

[00:09:34.190]
all of our in context resources

[00:09:36.639]
are organized into topic pages

[00:09:39.139]
and what those are, are pre

[00:09:40.969]
curated pages about specific topics.

[00:09:43.219]
Those topics are going to be the most searched

[00:09:45.590]
the most utilized. Um

[00:09:48.139]
And the most explored within the

[00:09:50.168]
resource, they're going to have pre created pages

[00:09:52.460]
with overviews.

[00:09:53.969]
Um, excuse me and with

[00:09:56.009]
organized results attached to that page.

[00:09:59.129]
And you'll see right now, we have 483

[00:10:01.899]
issues or topic pages listed here.

[00:10:04.288]
And these are not all of the topics we have in the

[00:10:06.369]
resource. Of course. So

[00:10:08.428]
if your patrons are browsing through

[00:10:10.599]
and maybe don't see where they're looking when they browse through

[00:10:12.690]
topic pages, they'll run a search

[00:10:14.759]
at that point and they'll pull a search results page

[00:10:16.849]
with their content.

[00:10:18.369]
But these topic pages are

[00:10:20.460]
a really great, great place to start browsing.

[00:10:22.558]
I'm just going to click browse all here so you can

[00:10:24.658]
take a look when we browse all

[00:10:26.788]
of our topic pages,

[00:10:29.038]
as I said, there's over 400. So there's a lot

[00:10:31.908]
so you can get a feel of what we have created. But

[00:10:34.099]
it's great to browse this way and click through

[00:10:36.269]
our different topic options. So

[00:10:38.379]
if you're, you know,

[00:10:40.168]
individual, your users coming in, maybe they just

[00:10:42.200]
want to see what's new in this resource.

[00:10:44.408]
I can hit new and you'll see anything

[00:10:46.428]
that's new or updated here.

[00:10:49.639]
Maybe they know specifically they want

[00:10:51.788]
something about technology. They want to

[00:10:53.950]
explore some of the different topics that are

[00:10:56.000]
going on currently in technology.

[00:10:58.029]
They can click into that section.

[00:11:01.808]
Now, just going to see

[00:11:04.450]
those topic pages here. So you'll see, this is going

[00:11:06.548]
to start helping them narrow down and

[00:11:08.830]
this browse option is really great again for

[00:11:10.879]
your users who are coming in. Not 100%

[00:11:13.239]
on what they want to actually explore.

[00:11:15.369]
They can just go through this list

[00:11:17.580]
and maybe it'll, you know, get them kind of interested

[00:11:19.658]
a little bit and start to consider

[00:11:21.820]
what they want to take a look at.

[00:11:24.668]
But I'm going to go, go back home to the

[00:11:26.739]
home page here just by clicking

[00:11:28.899]
on the name and the banner.

[00:11:31.029]
Because instead of browsing, I'm going to search

[00:11:33.109]
today. So you can kind of get a feel of what that looks like.

[00:11:35.639]
I'm not going to fully run through an advanced search,

[00:11:37.820]
but I do want to show you some of the different filters

[00:11:39.849]
that you may want to point out to your users.

[00:11:41.899]
So our advanced search is found here underneath our basic

[00:11:44.320]
search bar.

[00:11:47.849]
And if your user says something really specific

[00:11:49.950]
in mind, this is a great place to send them because

[00:11:51.989]
of course, they can choose where they want to

[00:11:54.109]
search if they want to search by keyword or maybe

[00:11:56.149]
they wanna search through an entire document.

[00:11:58.989]
And you'll notice when I choose these,

[00:12:01.908]
it's telling me what they're going to find the results

[00:12:04.389]
in. So the difference may be between a keyword

[00:12:06.668]
or searching for an entire document.

[00:12:08.979]
It's a nice

[00:12:11.288]
option to have up top here, but I want to point

[00:12:13.389]
out down below.

[00:12:14.969]
You'll see, I've got these filters that I just think

[00:12:17.048]
are so handy. Especially

[00:12:19.469]
if I do have something really specific and I don't

[00:12:21.479]
want to dig through.

[00:12:22.849]
You'll see, I can narrow down just the full text documents

[00:12:25.399]
within gal and context opposing viewpoints.

[00:12:27.808]
The majority of our documents are full text,

[00:12:29.918]
but you will find some citations

[00:12:32.250]
and some just to kind of brief

[00:12:34.808]
summaries specifically. If we're talking

[00:12:37.019]
about academic journals, you'll see some of those citations.

[00:12:39.739]
So we can make sure we're seeing full text

[00:12:41.869]
by checking this box. You'll see, we also

[00:12:44.090]
have the option to narrow it down to just peer

[00:12:46.139]
reviewed journals. So if you do have

[00:12:48.259]
individuals at that higher level coming in

[00:12:50.298]
for research and they don't want to be

[00:12:52.538]
kind of bogged down with the news or things that isn't

[00:12:55.200]
peer reviewed. They can narrow down to just

[00:12:57.330]
peer reviewed here. They want something

[00:12:59.428]
with images or a document that's at a lower

[00:13:01.629]
level. They have those options here.

[00:13:04.989]
And underneath that, they have this option

[00:13:07.149]
to narrow down by content type as

[00:13:09.298]
well. So if they're looking for biographies,

[00:13:11.609]
maybe they can narrow down here. As I mentioned, we

[00:13:13.658]
have a pretty

[00:13:14.979]
large selection of primary sources

[00:13:17.320]
and they can choose to narrow that down here as well.

[00:13:19.558]
So they'll only pull content from whatever content

[00:13:21.908]
type they're looking at. This is a great way

[00:13:23.989]
for them to narrow down to exactly what they need,

[00:13:27.590]
but I'm going to go back to home one more time

[00:13:30.330]
and I'm actually going to run a basic search instead

[00:13:32.340]
of an advanced search because as we all know,

[00:13:34.440]
a lot of times this is where your users are going to

[00:13:36.489]
start, you know, they're not going to browse, they're not going to try to

[00:13:38.529]
dig into an advanced search. They're just gonna search

[00:13:40.658]
a word.

[00:13:41.690]
So we're going to go ahead and do that. And what I want to point

[00:13:43.700]
out, I'm actually going to search for self driving cars.

[00:13:46.269]
I actually saw it pop up here and our issues

[00:13:48.509]
of interest and I personally think that is

[00:13:50.570]
interesting. So I'm going to start

[00:13:52.609]
typing. I want you to notice when I do that.

[00:13:57.119]
These first two options here in my

[00:13:59.229]
predictive texts are bolded when

[00:14:01.590]
you see a bold under our predictive text, that

[00:14:03.629]
means we have a topic page already created

[00:14:06.320]
so users can click into these and they'll get

[00:14:08.469]
that curated view as opposed to getting

[00:14:10.729]
a standard search results view. So let's

[00:14:12.899]
do that. We'll click into self driving cars

[00:14:17.298]
and now we're on our topic page here. So

[00:14:19.308]
this is a lot cleaner and a lot more organized

[00:14:21.450]
than just your standard search

[00:14:23.469]
results page because we tried to make it that really

[00:14:25.678]
easy research point for users. So

[00:14:28.019]
at the very top of this page, we're always going to

[00:14:30.080]
have an overview. So this is

[00:14:32.178]
just giving that background. Generally,

[00:14:34.200]
it's going to be a nice short reference article

[00:14:36.408]
that's going to give them their

[00:14:38.428]
footing within this topic so they can really

[00:14:40.509]
start to dig in.

[00:14:41.788]
So they'll get that at the top here

[00:14:45.288]
underneath. You'll see this on this

[00:14:47.399]
page section is going to pull back all of

[00:14:49.489]
our results. So this is kind of what

[00:14:51.629]
they would have seen if they were to have run a basic

[00:14:54.038]
search, they would have all of these different results.

[00:14:56.330]
We've just chosen to organize them here.

[00:14:58.960]
So they can choose to click into say

[00:15:01.149]
our featured viewpoint,

[00:15:02.274]
which are generally excuse me,

[00:15:04.484]
our viewpoint articles that are going to be the most

[00:15:06.604]
current that may contain you know, a recent

[00:15:09.335]
topic that's related to this topic page.

[00:15:11.913]
They may want to take a look at those, they may want to look

[00:15:13.945]
at the rest of our viewpoints that may be slightly older,

[00:15:16.254]
maybe a couple of years as opposed to current to this

[00:15:18.404]
year. They'll have access

[00:15:20.678]
to images, our news reports,

[00:15:23.029]
our academic journals, all that great stuff.

[00:15:25.379]
You'll see, we pull it together here in these different content

[00:15:27.779]
buckets.

[00:15:29.190]
So again, nice and organized for them. So they

[00:15:31.259]
don't have to kind of dig through to find the content

[00:15:33.558]
they need. It's all right here for them

[00:15:36.178]
at the very bottom of the page. Let me scroll

[00:15:38.320]
down here.

[00:15:39.769]
We have related topics listed here

[00:15:41.808]
as well. So these related topics are going

[00:15:43.869]
to help them move forward. So if they kind

[00:15:46.038]
of took a look at self driving cars, and,

[00:15:48.869]
you know, they're trying to understand how that's

[00:15:50.889]
going to work with public transportation, let's

[00:15:53.029]
say, or with our current infrastructure,

[00:15:55.509]
they can click directly into those topic pages.

[00:15:57.710]
So again, they're moving themselves forward

[00:16:00.239]
in their research without even running a search,

[00:16:02.529]
they can literally point and click all the way through

[00:16:04.580]
this resource to find content

[00:16:06.590]
that they need.

[00:16:08.349]
So they can jump to these different topic

[00:16:11.139]
pages if they like.

[00:16:15.279]
And I do want to scroll up here because I mentioned we have

[00:16:17.399]
those great statistics and infographics here.

[00:16:19.889]
I wanna show you what one of those looks like today

[00:16:21.950]
before we just look at a text document. So

[00:16:24.340]
our infographics are pulled up here

[00:16:26.509]
and our statistics have their own little

[00:16:28.950]
content bucket as well, but I can click

[00:16:31.149]
into any of these. So we'll click in this top one here,

[00:16:34.840]
opinions about the potential effects

[00:16:36.849]
of autonomous vehicles on society.

[00:16:40.168]
So again, this is interactive so they

[00:16:42.359]
can hover over any part of this graph

[00:16:45.769]
and it's going to tell them what that part of the graph

[00:16:48.129]
is saying specifically. And you'll

[00:16:50.149]
see they can actually choose some different parameters

[00:16:52.690]
here. And

[00:16:55.178]
this is going to give them a really nice view

[00:16:57.279]
of what they're looking at. So if

[00:16:59.418]
they are a little bit confused by graphs or charts,

[00:17:01.879]
especially those of you in the K 12 Arena. You

[00:17:04.000]
know, sometimes that's one of the hardest things

[00:17:06.160]
to teach students is how to actually

[00:17:08.380]
read a graph. This is going to help them

[00:17:10.509]
with that. This is telling them that

[00:17:12.559]
4% of people making less

[00:17:14.618]
than $50,000

[00:17:18.430]
are entirely positive

[00:17:20.729]
about

[00:17:22.809]
about this specific

[00:17:25.078]
bit of information. I'm sorry, I didn't look at this graph ahead of

[00:17:27.150]
time. But you'll see they

[00:17:29.189]
can hover over and take a look at that really

[00:17:31.259]
quickly

[00:17:36.799]
scrolling down here. You'll see. We do give

[00:17:38.989]
just another bit of information here for them.

[00:17:41.088]
If they want to take a look at that, this is specifically

[00:17:43.390]
saying what different levels

[00:17:45.430]
of automation are considered

[00:17:47.858]
from the National Highway

[00:17:50.140]
Administration.

[00:17:52.199]
So just giving them a little bit more information

[00:17:54.219]
on some of the differences between levels

[00:17:56.299]
of automation

[00:17:57.979]
and down there.

[00:18:00.789]
So now let's jump back to my topic page. I can

[00:18:02.910]
do that either by hitting the back button in my browser

[00:18:05.439]
or by using my breadcrumb trail

[00:18:07.559]
up top here. I'm gonna do that way.

[00:18:11.519]
I'm gonna scroll down here. Now, let's say

[00:18:13.618]
I want to take a look at all of my featured

[00:18:15.739]
viewpoint essays as opposed to just these first

[00:18:17.809]
three that are shown here. I'll just click

[00:18:19.949]
the title of that instead.

[00:18:25.818]
And now I'll see all of those and you'll see on this right

[00:18:28.000]
hand side, we have a few different options

[00:18:30.049]
for filtering. If we wanna filter by date

[00:18:32.170]
or things like that, we can certainly do that there.

[00:18:35.318]
And I want to point out here our get link

[00:18:37.439]
feature that we have available. I mentioned it on the

[00:18:39.529]
home page. It has followed us along

[00:18:41.578]
in our toolbar. Up top here, I can

[00:18:43.769]
use this button and get a persistent URL

[00:18:45.890]
to whatever page I'm on within this resource.

[00:18:48.348]
So if I want to maybe share this

[00:18:50.430]
out with my students or with my patrons, if

[00:18:52.509]
I'm at a public library or if I'm a

[00:18:54.529]
student, I want to save it

[00:18:56.858]
to use later for a project or for my homework,

[00:18:59.328]
I can use this and it will always pull me to

[00:19:01.390]
the specific page. And as we

[00:19:03.420]
click through this, get link really follows

[00:19:05.630]
us along. So we can do this at the

[00:19:07.670]
topic page level. If I want to bookmark

[00:19:09.779]
or get a link for a topic page, we

[00:19:12.049]
can do it at the document level. You'll see. I have

[00:19:14.380]
it listed here at um

[00:19:16.969]
under my results page.

[00:19:18.779]
I'll be able to get a link back to whatever page

[00:19:21.019]
that I'm on really simply here. So that's

[00:19:23.189]
a nice feature to have. They do want to save

[00:19:25.430]
a specific

[00:19:27.118]
area within this

[00:19:28.699]
resource.

[00:19:30.779]
But let's go ahead and just click into the first one here, Americans

[00:19:33.219]
should resist self driving cars.

[00:19:37.039]
So again, remember this is an opinion piece that

[00:19:39.078]
is not a reference article So obviously,

[00:19:41.390]
it is leaning one very specific

[00:19:43.848]
way when we're talking about autonomous vehicles,

[00:19:47.670]
but they can click into this now and they can start to scroll

[00:19:49.848]
down, take a look at the commentary about the article

[00:19:52.769]
and then read through the full article. And again,

[00:19:54.789]
you'll see this is not listed anywhere

[00:19:56.910]
as you know, pro self driving cars,

[00:19:59.568]
anti self driving cars. Your users

[00:20:01.680]
have to read this and figure out on their own

[00:20:04.160]
with this one. Obviously, it's a little more specific

[00:20:06.568]
just by reading the title, they're most likely kind of going

[00:20:08.650]
to get a feel. But as they click

[00:20:10.920]
through and as they read different articles, they won't be

[00:20:12.930]
as obvious. You know, there may be some viewpoints

[00:20:15.390]
that have both pros and cons listed.

[00:20:17.848]
you know, there might be some that are very specific

[00:20:20.309]
to one you know,

[00:20:22.368]
feature of, of, of

[00:20:24.930]
a topic. So they'll have to kind of

[00:20:26.939]
go through on their own and take a look at these different articles

[00:20:29.469]
to get a real feel of what's going on.

[00:20:32.019]
Now, I do want to show you some tools that we have

[00:20:34.130]
available for these documents before we end off

[00:20:36.239]
for the day. So the first one I'm going to point

[00:20:38.318]
out is our citation tool, which is found

[00:20:40.459]
up top here in our toolbar.

[00:20:42.939]
This is going to give a fully

[00:20:45.078]
made citation. You'll see, we have Mlaap

[00:20:47.368]
a Chicago or Harvard formats.

[00:20:49.989]
So this lets users copy and paste.

[00:20:52.209]
So if they need it for their

[00:20:55.039]
their reference page, they can simply do that here.

[00:20:57.439]
This is a really great way to get buy in.

[00:20:59.539]
If you do have you know, users or students

[00:21:02.229]
who just really prefer to Google, you know, it's so

[00:21:04.318]
much easier just to Google,

[00:21:06.400]
they're not gonna get the citation from that.

[00:21:08.410]
If they do decide to Google and find a random article

[00:21:10.529]
off Google, which you know, of course, may or not may

[00:21:12.868]
not be um authoritative content.

[00:21:15.390]
They also have to build their own citations.

[00:21:17.578]
So if you direct them here and tell

[00:21:19.719]
them, hey, click this button and that awful

[00:21:22.289]
reference page that you have to develop is done

[00:21:24.549]
for you. It's a great way to get by

[00:21:26.588]
in. So they'll find the content that's actually authoritative

[00:21:29.219]
and accurate and they'll have that citation

[00:21:33.750]
next to our citation tool. We also have a send

[00:21:35.939]
to option. So we are integrated

[00:21:38.108]
with both Google Drive and Onedrive.

[00:21:40.348]
So if they want to save this article to either

[00:21:42.509]
one of those drives, they can do that just by hitting the

[00:21:44.608]
button. They can also email it to

[00:21:46.858]
themselves if they prefer to save it. That way

[00:21:50.269]
they have the option to download this document as well.

[00:21:52.459]
It downloads as a PDF to their desktop,

[00:21:55.009]
they can print it. If they prefer that hard copy

[00:21:57.568]
again, you'll see we have our get link here.

[00:21:59.578]
So this will provide another persistent

[00:22:01.689]
URL to this particular page.

[00:22:05.410]
And we do always recommend they use this gut link as

[00:22:07.519]
opposed to copying and pasting out of the address

[00:22:09.689]
bar. One because it's a lot shorter

[00:22:12.019]
but two because the address bar may

[00:22:14.049]
break eventually. If we update the platform

[00:22:16.170]
or you know, something is moved, that

[00:22:18.219]
link is gonna break this one will not, this is always

[00:22:20.239]
going to take them back to this particular page.

[00:22:25.338]
Now, we also have some really great text manipulation

[00:22:27.989]
tools down below the title here.

[00:22:30.219]
The first one is going to be our translate option.

[00:22:32.289]
So if you have users coming in looking

[00:22:34.328]
for articles in a specific language, you'll

[00:22:36.509]
see they can hit that button.

[00:22:38.118]
We've got a nice strap down here that's going to translate

[00:22:40.229]
to whatever article they need.

[00:22:42.529]
We also have the ability to set an interface

[00:22:44.939]
language which is going to change all

[00:22:47.160]
of the tools we have on this page

[00:22:49.358]
into whatever language they need. So

[00:22:51.640]
basically the platform itself is being

[00:22:54.318]
translated so they can easily navigate

[00:22:56.358]
through wherever they

[00:22:58.459]
are next to that

[00:23:00.559]
translate. We also have the option to

[00:23:02.719]
increase or decrease the font size

[00:23:05.799]
right next that some additional display options

[00:23:07.890]
are going to allow you to

[00:23:09.509]
scroll down here, change the background color.

[00:23:12.239]
You'll see we have some different fonts here, we do have a dyslexia

[00:23:14.939]
fonts. If your users prefer to

[00:23:17.000]
read that

[00:23:18.729]
they can also change the line letter and word spacing.

[00:23:22.608]
Really to make this super

[00:23:24.939]
customized to what they need. So they

[00:23:27.078]
can go through this before they even start reading

[00:23:29.439]
and decide how they can best see

[00:23:31.598]
it to make it as accessible as possible.

[00:23:34.130]
I'm gonna click back to defaults here

[00:23:36.640]
though. So next to that

[00:23:38.809]
display options, we also have our listen

[00:23:41.049]
tool. So even, you know, if

[00:23:43.279]
they've edited the display and they're still

[00:23:45.299]
struggling to read the article, they can

[00:23:47.368]
have it read to them right here just by hitting this listen

[00:23:49.709]
button and it does read in whatever language

[00:23:52.368]
they translated to. So if they actually translated

[00:23:54.660]
over to Spanish first and then hit listen,

[00:23:57.130]
it would read this full article in Spanish

[00:23:59.229]
for them.

[00:24:02.420]
In addition to that, we also have some great highlights

[00:24:05.049]
and note features. So if they're going

[00:24:07.199]
through and finding content, you know, for a project

[00:24:09.500]
or homework, they can click and drag over whatever

[00:24:11.890]
they think is important, choose a highlight,

[00:24:13.900]
color,

[00:24:18.189]
write whatever note they need and they can save

[00:24:20.250]
it and this is all session based.

[00:24:23.279]
So if they do highlight a lot,

[00:24:25.750]
oops, here we go and want to hold

[00:24:27.959]
on to it for later, they're going to want to get this

[00:24:30.088]
out of the platform in one of those ways I mentioned

[00:24:32.459]
before. So sending over to drives,

[00:24:35.338]
emailing, downloading or printing

[00:24:37.509]
any of those ways will retain those highlights

[00:24:40.239]
and any notes they took for them.

[00:24:46.118]
And I will also point out on this right hand

[00:24:48.368]
side here, we have our explore panel that you're

[00:24:50.479]
going to see attached to all of our entries.

[00:24:53.150]
So first it's going to give a more like this section

[00:24:55.549]
which is going to provide articles

[00:24:57.719]
that are specifically like this one.

[00:24:59.789]
OK.

[00:25:01.500]
And then right under that, they'll have a related subjects.

[00:25:04.239]
So this, as opposed to pulling articles

[00:25:06.618]
that are similar to this and that look like this one

[00:25:08.848]
is actually going to pull forward subjects

[00:25:10.949]
that's similar to this one.

[00:25:15.719]
And I do have one more tool

[00:25:18.269]
to show you all before we end off for the day.

[00:25:20.568]
But does anyone have any questions about

[00:25:22.900]
what we just went through?

[00:25:29.299]
Ok, I don't see any. So my last

[00:25:31.578]
tool I wanna show you is our topic finder

[00:25:34.789]
and you can find that um

[00:25:36.828]
under our advanced search or in our search

[00:25:39.059]
results pages. I'm just going to get to

[00:25:41.150]
it from our advanced search today.

[00:25:43.848]
When I click into advanced search, it pops up right here.

[00:25:46.699]
S topic finder. If you were on a search results

[00:25:48.969]
page, it's listed on this right hand

[00:25:51.140]
side under our filters.

[00:25:55.239]
But this is a great way to start off

[00:25:57.269]
research, especially if you have your users

[00:25:59.358]
or your students coming in with a really, really

[00:26:01.709]
broad search terms. And you know, they're going

[00:26:03.868]
to pull just an insane amount of content.

[00:26:06.430]
This is a great way for them to basically run

[00:26:08.549]
an advanced search without

[00:26:10.239]
actually developing the advanced search

[00:26:12.348]
so they can type in whatever their topic is.

[00:26:14.509]
So, let's do

[00:26:16.650]
vaccines today. Of course, thats a hot topic

[00:26:18.799]
that everyone seems to be, um,

[00:26:21.358]
researching and that everyone seems to have an opinion

[00:26:23.368]
on. so if they come in just searching

[00:26:25.568]
vaccine, they're going to find,

[00:26:27.588]
they're gonna be inundated with materials they may not

[00:26:29.660]
actually

[00:26:30.588]
need. So this is going to help them kind

[00:26:32.729]
of narrow it down. So they search for

[00:26:34.750]
vaccines. Maybe they're specifically

[00:26:36.930]
looking um

[00:26:39.029]
for the flu vaccines. Maybe they

[00:26:41.160]
kind of want to learn a bit about how vaccines

[00:26:43.219]
are manufactured. Maybe they want

[00:26:45.279]
to know more about vaccine hesi hesitancy

[00:26:48.739]
so they can click into any of those. Let's click into

[00:26:50.858]
this one.

[00:26:52.890]
And now you'll see, I'm starting to get a shorter list

[00:26:55.250]
of results here. So I've got 31

[00:26:57.930]
results related to vaccines

[00:27:00.150]
and vaccine hesitancy. And I can even go

[00:27:02.170]
down a little bit lower if I wanted to.

[00:27:04.699]
And maybe I want to see some studies

[00:27:07.059]
that have been run. I could click into studies.

[00:27:09.348]
And now you'll see, I've got eight results

[00:27:11.559]
here as opposed to the

[00:27:13.729]
probably hundreds of thousands of results I would

[00:27:15.759]
have had if I were to have just run a basic

[00:27:18.000]
search for a vaccine. So this is a great,

[00:27:20.479]
great way for them to kind of narrow down

[00:27:22.578]
to find exactly what they need. So once

[00:27:24.789]
I do this, I can click directly into that document

[00:27:29.180]
looks like this is a report here

[00:27:31.489]
and I'll be able to see this and read all the way

[00:27:33.689]
through such

[00:27:36.989]
a nice clean way to find content

[00:27:39.180]
without having trying having to kind of

[00:27:41.539]
struggle to build search terms. So this is

[00:27:43.630]
also really great for those

[00:27:45.789]
high school students who are using this resource,

[00:27:47.828]
who are slowly building their search

[00:27:50.049]
term skills, but who are maybe

[00:27:52.368]
still

[00:27:53.838]
not quite ready to develop

[00:27:55.930]
those more detailed search for search

[00:27:58.039]
terms that are going to pull

[00:27:59.598]
more specific results.

[00:28:01.689]
This is a great way to get them started. I've

[00:28:03.989]
worked with teachers and with librarians who actually

[00:28:06.338]
start their students on the topic finder

[00:28:08.358]
page. They don't even have them run basic

[00:28:10.640]
search. They just have to go directly to that topic

[00:28:12.689]
finder and go start there,

[00:28:15.150]
run that search narrow down before you even see

[00:28:17.180]
results. So it's a really powerful feature

[00:28:19.578]
that I would definitely recommend pointing out to your users

[00:28:21.910]
who are starting to click into this resource.

[00:28:27.390]
Now, we've got a minute left. I have got some

[00:28:29.519]
quick information. I want to

[00:28:32.009]
give you all.

[00:28:34.250]
And while I switch back here to my slides

[00:28:36.358]
again, I haven't seen any questions come in, but I want

[00:28:38.489]
to make sure that I don't miss any. So if

[00:28:40.539]
you do have questions, please pop those into the

[00:28:42.578]
Q and A now.

[00:28:43.660]
But I do have some contact information for

[00:28:45.670]
you. So if you, if you have any questions about the session

[00:28:47.750]
today or any feedback, feel free. You

[00:28:49.809]
can send me an email. It's just

[00:28:51.900]
[email protected]

[00:28:52.779]


[00:28:53.799]
If you want to talk more about this resource

[00:28:56.049]
related to your learning community, maybe some best

[00:28:58.269]
practices that you can enact. Um

[00:29:00.289]
If you want to talk about usage of your resource,

[00:29:02.469]
you can reach out to your customer success manager.

[00:29:04.989]
If you don't know who that is, you can send

[00:29:07.029]
an email to [email protected]

[00:29:09.059]
and we'll forward

[00:29:11.140]
you to the correct individual there.

[00:29:13.459]
If you don't currently have access to Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints

[00:29:15.719]
but you want to talk about it,

[00:29:18.039]
reach out to your sales consultant. If you don't know who

[00:29:20.189]
that is, you can go to support.gale.com/repfinder

[00:29:24.150]
and we'll forward you to the correct individual

[00:29:26.299]
there. Uh And we also

[00:29:28.459]
have a support site available to

[00:29:30.549]
you where you're going to find pre-recorded webinars.

[00:29:32.709]
This one will be posted there. Uh You also

[00:29:34.930]
find lesson plans and activities,

[00:29:37.239]
flyers, research guides, tip sheets,

[00:29:39.689]
shorter tutorials, really

[00:29:41.799]
anything you can think of. So if you're planning on getting

[00:29:43.848]
this information out to your users or

[00:29:46.269]
you know your other staff, if you're kind of going to

[00:29:48.299]
be training them on your own, take a look

[00:29:50.420]
at the support site before you build anything on your

[00:29:52.500]
own because most likely we have something to help you out

[00:29:54.509]
so that is just support.gale.com.

[00:29:56.868]
You'll find all of that great content.

[00:29:59.459]
And if you have time for a quick survey, we'd love

[00:30:01.630]
to hear your thoughts on sessions. Uh like

[00:30:03.979]
this one. So the Gale 101 sessions,

[00:30:06.318]
I've got a QR code here or you can just go

[00:30:08.380]

[00:30:10.529]


[00:30:11.759]
and you'll be able to take that for us just

[00:30:14.059]
so we can make sure we're hitting everything that you need.

[00:30:16.174]
Uh, when we run through these sessions, I do

[00:30:18.243]
