[00:00:27.000]
For today's training, this is an advanced session. Where we will be focusing on strategies, tools and features to enhance research.
[00:00:31.000]
Also understanding search options that you have available and we're gonna have some fun with some tips and tricks.
[00:00:37.000]
And hidden gems. This is one of my favorite training sessions to do. So we're gonna have some fun.
[00:00:47.000]
I get to show you some fun stuff within the resources. And Michael is for you all to walk away with content and also tools that you can share with patrons, faculty, students of all ages.
[00:00:58.000]
So let's get started with a brief agenda. Again, if there are any questions today throughout the training, please feel free to use that Q&A backs.
[00:01:10.000]
We are going to start with access to the type share resources and I will provide you with an overview of the Gale resources that you have available.
[00:01:20.000]
I did not add all of them to us to a slide. It's really too many to add to one slide, but.
[00:01:27.000]
Do want to talk through some of them and so you have a what to use one kind of overview of the Gale resources.
[00:01:35.000]
We'll be exploring content, tips, and tricks. We'll be talking about and then those tools and features that are shared across your Gale resources.
[00:01:44.000]
Any questions that you have again, please feel free to use that Q&A box. You'll also receive my information at the end of today's training and in a follow-up email.
[00:01:54.000]
So feel free to ask me. Any questions that you may have. And then you also have one on one support with your Gale customer success managers and they are there to support you and all things Gale.
[00:02:00.000]
So if you're looking for maybe usage reports or you want to talk to them about access or setting up a learning management system.
[00:02:14.000]
They can help with all those questions. So I'll share their information at the end and of course their contact information is always included in the follow-up email too.
[00:02:24.000]
Alright, so let's talk about access. Now to get all of your direct URLs, if you're not already using them, you can go to the support site that we've created for tech share.
[00:02:35.000]
The link is here on the screen. I will also add that to the chat. So let me post that in the chat real quick here.
[00:02:42.000]
And And what you're going to find if you're looking for again all of those direct URLs.
[00:02:48.000]
2 your individual resources. What you'll do is use this link. You'll sign in with your library.
[00:02:55.000]
Or you can find it from the list. And once you click proceed. You'll be taken to all of the products that you have access to and your location ID will be built right into those product links.
[00:03:08.000]
So this is where you can get all of your direct URLs. If you're looking for additional support like icons and widgets.
[00:03:14.000]
Mark records. This is also where you would come for all this information. If you'd like to export your entire list of links.
[00:03:22.000]
And import them into your library website, then you can do that or Discovery Services. If you have any questions about that, you can export the links here and we have a lot of for our academic folks, technical documents for discovery services.
[00:03:41.000]
So. You can, find that information. Again, all here on the support site along with training, both upcoming and recorded, and then great marketing materials that we have available.
[00:03:52.000]
So this is a great site to bookmark. So let's talk about your Gale resources that you have from Tech Share.
[00:03:59.000]
We want, when I 1st talk about these. We're going to start with the in context product family.
[00:04:06.000]
In context is rich multimedia. It's organized in topic pages. We have from kindergarten all the way unto college.
[00:04:09.000]
So you can see here that you have the 3 building blocks, cross-curricular general reference.
[00:04:21.000]
And really I should be 4 because you have college also. So Gale In context elementary, middle school, and high school.
[00:04:29.000]
And you also have Gale and Context College. So again, cross-curricular general reference.
[00:04:35.000]
You also have environmental studies, which is a great resource for those. High school AP classes, but also at the college level.
[00:04:45.000]
Environmental studies is a great course that a lot of students and sometimes major that a lot of students are focused on.
[00:04:52.000]
You're gonna find great content for your faculty members available here within this resource. For our public libraries, anyone doing research or you might have folks that are looking for this type of information, regarding in, you know, directly related to the environment and focused on the environment, you may want to direct them to Gale In context environmental studies.
[00:05:15.000]
And then for our hot topic, social issues, controversial issues, Gale In context opposing viewpoints, great for high school used a lot at the academic level and public libraries too because it has that shows all sides of the issue.
[00:05:32.000]
And we're going to, that is one of the resources we are going to jump into today. Of course, we can't jump into all of these, I but I hand selected a few.
[00:05:41.000]
I could do multiple advanced tips and trick sessions and maybe we'll add some more in the future. But I did have to select just a couple to really focus on today.
[00:05:50.000]
Going down the list on the right hand side, you have 2 health resources the difference between the 2 health and wellness is designed more as that consumer approach.
[00:05:56.000]
So for your public library patrons, if you're working, if you're a public library that's working with high schools or an academic library also working with high schools, health and wellness is a great one for you, for any health classes but also for counselors.
[00:06:13.000]
There's great information in here on anxiety and depression and stress and those types of things that students are dealing with.
[00:06:19.000]
So for public libraries, if you're any therapists that are coming into your office or into your library, this is a great one to introduce to them.
[00:06:31.000]
But also next level would be for our healthcare professionals, medical students, medical researchers, you'll have health and medicine.
[00:06:39.000]
So this one is designed more for those folks and it is in our one file family, anything in the One File product family is periodical content.
[00:06:48.000]
Journals, academic journals, magazines, newspapers, some multimedia, but it's mainly focused on our periodicals.
[00:06:56.000]
You also have National Geographic Virtual Library, so you have all of those magazines available.
[00:07:02.000]
To you from National Geographic. It's really a beautiful site. Along with that you have National Geographic Kids, which is great for our elementary students.
[00:07:11.000]
On the left hand side, let's talk about these resources. 2 from your one file product family.
[00:07:17.000]
Academic one file. Designed again for higher ed. It has scholarly, scholarly journals and it's more focused on that academic research and academic work that's done at the higher ed level courses.
[00:07:30.000]
That's what you're going to find within that resource where more of our general one file is is that general reference, information that you're going to find, all of those publications that you probably have maybe one copy on your shelves in your library in our public libraries a print copy you also take a look and see we have quite a few publications that you carry in your library.
[00:07:48.000]
Available digitally. And then of course you have all those great tools to support accessibility in all your gale resources.
[00:07:57.000]
So keep that in mind. And showcasing it for those types of publications. For the literature resources I want to touch into, Gale Literature is a cross search tool.
[00:08:08.000]
And it cross searches through all 4 of your literature resources that you have from tech share. One of them I pulled out is Literature Resource Center.
[00:08:16.000]
This has gone through over the last year enhancements and there are still a couple more to come. And so the design is a little different.
[00:08:19.000]
So you might want to showcase this. Resource individually even though it is a part of your Gale literature cross search.
[00:08:31.000]
Chilton Library is for those car enthusiasts any type of any mechanic actually and we're mobile responsive so a lot of times what happens with the Chiltern Library collection is it's accessed from phones.
[00:08:43.000]
We, I mean, I have a nephew that's a mechanic and he's always looking at his phone for those different types and pieces of information.
[00:08:54.000]
And the nice thing is too it also has the ASE practice test and then a great video library is available along with everything that Chilton Library has to offer.
[00:09:02.000]
The those books don't last very long in in mechanics shops because the paper is really thin.
[00:09:04.000]
So introduce. Those folks to what they have available at your library. On the left hand side we did just do a three-part series on the business resources.
[00:09:21.000]
So we covered entrepreneurship and gale business insights and then from our one file product family, Gale one file business.
[00:09:28.000]
So those webinars are available. It's a three-part series. Entrepreneurship, real quick, the great tool for small business owners or those looking to start a small business or manage their small business, but also you're going to find the complete set of the business plan book is here in this resource digitally available.
[00:09:50.000]
And then in Gale Business Insights looking at company profiles. I'm also globally like taking a look at what's happening globally.
[00:09:58.000]
But you like, grab a lot of great articles, business articles available and what's trending you're going to find here in Gale Business Insights.
[00:10:07.000]
For our readers advisory you have Gale Books and Authors. Books and Authors is a fantastic tool.
[00:10:13.000]
It might support if you're looking at summer reading. You might want to introduce this resource to those folks coming into your library this summer.
[00:10:21.000]
And you do have some options to, and this is really our K 12 folks are really interested in this, where you can limit what books are being shown by, bike, let's call it class.
[00:10:37.000]
So we have children's young adult and adult are the 3 types that you have available. So if you just wanted to show children's, you could do that.
[00:10:46.000]
There's some options in Gale Admin that you can use that you can utilize, but just know it'll It'll be that way for everyone that accesses books and authors.
[00:10:52.000]
So you can see where if an elementary school is showing books and authors as a readers advisory to their students.
[00:11:02.000]
That if they want a limit to just children's would be ideal. So they have that capability available within the resource.
[00:11:09.000]
And the last one is strictly for our public libraries and that is Gale presents you to me. DIY learning on-demand learning, thousands of courses and teachers international also.
[00:11:17.000]
So you're going to find some international courses available here. And it covers everything from looking to grow your career or technology skills to personal enrichment.
[00:11:33.000]
If you're looking to increase, you know, maybe you want to improve your photography. That's something that I'm always interested in.
[00:11:35.000]
There's a class for it. So, Gale presents you to me is fantastic for our public libraries.
[00:11:44.000]
So that's a quick overview of some of your Gale resources. I didn't include everything as I mentioned, but I hit on some of the the ones that in different areas that would be I thought would be interesting to you all to know a little bit more about.
[00:11:52.000]
So with that, let's explore. So let's jump into your gale resources. And the 1st one we are going to access is academic one file.
[00:12:08.000]
So I'm going to share my screen and share with you.
[00:12:14.000]
That product. So. You have from Tech Share, you do have, and let me sign in real quick.
[00:12:26.000]
You do have access to Gale, Academic One File. A few things I want to point out within this resource.
[00:12:32.000]
So 1st is you have the ability to browse by discipline, which is really a helpful tool. You have students and researchers and faculty members that are utilizing this.
[00:12:40.000]
Resource and they need to find exactly what they're looking for. So rather than doing a basic search, they're going to, which is a great option.
[00:12:51.000]
I'm going to show you the difference and talk through the difference. If you're looking for something specific, for example, I'm looking, I have these disciplines here.
[00:12:55.000]
Maybe I'm interested in psychology and specifically memory.
[00:13:05.000]
This is going to give me that clear path. To this discipline on this topic. Where if I were to do a basic search, if that were my only option to do just a basic search, I could pull back memory related like computer memory, not just.
[00:13:21.000]
Related to psychology. So you're going to get A lot of information that you would have to filter down where if you use the disciplines it takes you to that light size piece it takes you directly what you're interested in.
[00:13:34.000]
Okay, and then of course there's a lot of great tools with filtering your results and we're touch into this because the tools and features are the same across all of your guill resources.
[00:13:44.000]
One thing I want to point out before I jump into something else in this resource is the get link tool.
[00:13:45.000]
Get link provides a persistent URL back to any spat within the resource. So if this is something you want to share with your course in your coursework or your syllabus or if it's part of your public library programming.
[00:13:57.000]
You can utilize the get link tool and take folks directly to all this content.
[00:14:08.000]
Now let me go back. I don't have to go all the way back to the homepage, but I do want to go back and point out a few things here at the bottom.
[00:14:13.000]
You do have some search tool options here on the homepage. Topic Finder, subject guide search and publication search.
[00:14:20.000]
These also all live under advanced search. You'll always find them there too. They happen to be here on the homepage.
[00:14:27.000]
Now I'm going to do a quick search on isotope.
[00:14:34.000]
Analysis.
[00:14:38.000]
And what I want to point out here is when I do a basic search, I have the ability to, and here's your tip of trick, to set up a search alert.
[00:14:48.000]
In our one file product family. So again, anything with one file in a title. You're going to have the ability after you do a search, advanced or basic search, you have the ability to set up a search alert.
[00:15:01.000]
And I can filter this content town if I'm specifically looking for maybe I just want all of the reports and brief articles.
[00:15:11.000]
Apply that it will filter that content down and then when I set up my search alert it will not only send me information on isotop analysis but also on specifically related to these 2 document types.
[00:15:23.000]
So it filters it for me. So I can set up a search alert. And or I can use, you know, I can use RSS feed or set up, set it up via email.
[00:15:33.000]
Our SSV just adding it to my browser. If I set it up as an email, I have some options of frequency and the format that I would like to receive it in and then I just click search alert.
[00:15:45.000]
Schedule alert.
[00:15:50.000]
Create alert. Sorry. I had a box. So like yeah, close captioning was in the way there.
[00:15:55.000]
I knew it was one of those. I just couldn't remember off top my head. Search alert.
[00:15:56.000]
We just covered. Now let's talk about setting up a journal alert. Now as I mentioned on the homepage, you have publication search.
[00:16:07.000]
And it also lives under Advanced Search. So if I were to have clicked into advanced search it would take me directly to This screen.
[00:16:18.000]
But from the homepage I can jump into publication search. So I can list all my publications and filter the information down on the right hand side using some of these limiters or let me go back.
[00:16:32.000]
I have some research limiters here that are available. But I know I'm interested in the New England Journal of Medicine.
[00:16:46.000]
And if this is something that every time Anything new is added. I can set up a journal alert.
[00:16:56.000]
Same thing just like the search alert. It's just a journal or so I have to find the publication 1st and then I can create that journal or Alright, so I wanted to share with you Academic One File and I also said I'd like to share General One file and I also said I'd like to share General One file.
[00:17:14.000]
Now one thing I want to show you is at the top left of your resource You can see library menu.
[00:17:20.000]
In that library menu, this is a quick way to jump between your resources is the view gale product menu.
[00:17:28.000]
And this is what our product menu looks like. It does open in the same tab, so keep that in mind.
[00:17:33.000]
I do already have it open here, but this will take you to all of your databases. Now, if you would like to use this as your main URL to access all of your Gale databases, you could do that too.
[00:17:39.000]
It's it's an option for access. But the 1st page is all the databases and then I can quickly filter to in context.
[00:17:54.000]
E-books, periodicals, literature business, more, and then my cross search tools, which is power search and gale literature.
[00:18:03.000]
More is going to be any of our Gale presents, like our 3rd party resources. So National Geographic is one, for example.
[00:18:11.000]
Gale presents National Geographic Virtual Library. Those are going to live under the Moore section.
[00:18:17.000]
General one file, similar. I just want to point out that you do have that similarity here. You're browsing by topic.
[00:18:23.000]
So if I went into news and current events. And maybe I'm interested in pollution. You can see it pulls back all that content and then here I can filter that information down.
[00:18:34.000]
Maybe I want to filter by everything from the past year. And it filters all of that content at once.
[00:18:41.000]
Anytime I add any of the filter options, it'll filter it all down at once. So all of my content, not just the magazines that I'm in right now.
[00:18:51.000]
Okay, and again I can create that. Get link and journal alerts again work the same way within this resource.
[00:18:58.000]
Same with search alerts. So if I did a search on pollution.
[00:19:05.000]
Then I have that search alert option and same thing. Again, advanced search. Publication search. And maybe I'm looking for the New York Times.
[00:19:18.000]
And you can see we have When I click into the New York Times, we have. All kinds of different options here.
[00:19:23.000]
New York Times for Kids is also available.
[00:19:30.000]
I click into the New York Times and this is the print version. New York Times when they move sometimes when they put stuff on their website the the version, they'll change the titles to the publications or to their articles.
[00:19:38.000]
This is the print version of that. So if you're looking for a certain title or your users are.
[00:19:49.000]
Let them know that it's the print copy. Okay. All right. So.
[00:19:56.000]
Economic one file general one file. Let's switch gears and we're gonna go into in context resource.
[00:19:57.000]
Please let me know if you have any questions. So I'm going to close out. That tab and now I'm going to go directly to in context.
[00:20:09.000]
And we are going to go into college.
[00:20:14.000]
This resource so all of our in context resources start with the scrolling images and they're changed every month.
[00:20:21.000]
And then below we have subject categories with topic pages. Topic pages are curated collections of information.
[00:20:28.000]
You'll also find that and I say curiosity collections of information. I should also add these have been created by our content editors.
[00:20:35.000]
They work really hard on that. We have subject matter experts that work on, for example, academic one file, those disciplines are created by our subject matter.
[00:20:43.000]
We have a lot of a lot of folks working within these resources to make them the best that they can be.
[00:20:47.000]
In these resources to make them the best that they can be and keep them consistent. So you'll always have that HTML version of our also the ability to download as a PDF.
[00:21:02.000]
So you'll always have both and it will be consistent across your Gale resources. So consistency is really important to us.
[00:21:03.000]
And also with students learning at a young age with these resources, keeping those tools and features consistent across all the resources is a really helpful tool for them too.
[00:21:22.000]
Okay, so what I want to share with you is in advanced search. So let's, again, this is an advanced session.
[00:21:29.000]
I am pulling in a few of the basics, but. I'm focusing more on those. Advanced tips and tricks.
[00:21:37.000]
So if looking in Gale In context college, I'm interested in an advanced search of primary sources. I want all of my primary sources and then I want to filter it down.
[00:21:43.000]
Now the nice thing is with advanced search is that we've given some help here. So in the fields, understanding what you have available and what it's actually searching for.
[00:21:58.000]
So if I click entire document it tells me that what the resource is going to do once I put in a term is it is going to look through the entire document that it contains these terms.
[00:22:11.000]
So, So we give a little bit of help here.
[00:22:15.000]
Search tips on operators and special characters are also available really helpful as your teaching students or patrons if they're working within your library on these digital resources they have these helpful tips available within the resource.
[00:22:33.000]
And then a lot of research limiters again, what we're going to do is we are going to filter by content type and we're going to choose primary sources.
[00:22:43.000]
And then document type. So I am interested in. Personal accounts and I'm in a multi select So personal accounts, let's do memoirs.
[00:22:59.000]
Let's do letters.
[00:23:03.000]
Not letters to the editor. Actual primary source letters. We have diary, diary entries available.
[00:23:10.000]
Okay, let's start with those. Now I'm not going to put in any topic. I'm just going to click search.
[00:23:16.000]
So I have filtered down my primary sources and I still have 696 available because I selected all these great document types.
[00:23:26.000]
Now let's say I wanna filter it down further. So I know I have 696 primary sources.
[00:23:31.000]
I can see I have. Letters available here. Even from like Abraham Lincoln. And a lot our primary sources will start with a commentary.
[00:23:38.000]
And then they will go right into the actual primary source. But let's say I'm interested in the Wild West.
[00:23:50.000]
So I'm gonna search within for the Wild West.
[00:23:58.000]
And it filters it down to 3. So from 696, I was able to filter it to 3.
[00:24:04.000]
Let's look at this one, the killing of Billy the Kid. Because it does start with a commentary and then this is a personal account from John Poe.
[00:24:14.000]
I, when I was training in Texas, I decided that I was in Waco and I decided that I had to train in Lubbock.
[00:24:21.000]
And I had a day of travel in between. And instead of flying, I decided to drive. Well, I had the opportunity to drive through high co Texas and pass by the Billy the Kid Museum.
[00:24:33.000]
And I didn't stop in. I did regret it and it did stick with me because I was like, oh wow.
[00:24:37.000]
And so when I saw this primary source, I thought, what a better time to train on this and show folks in in Texas that you have that connection, right?
[00:24:46.000]
So I don't know if you all are familiar that you do have a Billy the Kid Museum there in high school, Texas, but I did pass by it on my drive from Wake O to Lubbock.
[00:24:56.000]
But this is a very interesting primary source. Because it's a direct account or personal account of what actually happened that day.
[00:25:04.000]
And how, you know, what happened after. The they, you know, there, it wasn't even really a showdown.
[00:25:11.000]
It was, it was kind of like a surprise situation. If you're familiar with what happened with the and Garrett in that in that situation of when he was shot.
[00:25:17.000]
So after he had killed, I think they they estimated 20 people, but this talks a little bit more about, probably closer to 4.
[00:25:31.000]
So it's interesting. What I also find great with these primary sources is not only do you have this primary source on Billy the Kid, but our explore panel gives you more information.
[00:25:37.000]
So you can find supplemental information from Outlaw to Legend. Who was Billy the Kid?
[00:25:47.000]
It's still a good question. So you can see some of these, supplemental pieces of information.
[00:25:53.000]
And maybe I'm interested in there's a section here. Let's scroll down. I should have done this.
[00:25:59.000]
Let's see it starts.
[00:26:04.000]
It's a it is a longer article, but it's really interesting. Here it is, about there have been many wild and untrue stories.
[00:26:14.000]
There was one about they cut off and carried away his fingers as a souvenir. And stuff like that.
[00:26:20.000]
So, which I did not know until I read this primary source. So I can highlight that. So what I'm using now is our highlights and notes to.
[00:26:28.000]
I'm highlighting a chunk of text. I'm going to add some notes. Maybe I'm gonna call this interesting.
[00:26:37.000]
Because this is a personal account and save that. Now my best practice, this is a tip and trick.
[00:26:45.000]
Sand this anytime a user has marked up a do. Make sure they have that entire document. Marked up exactly how it is with their notes, they will want to make sure they do something with it.
[00:26:58.000]
So send it, send it to Google Onedrive email. Download this information, print it off.
[00:27:05.000]
So it stays marked up. It'll turn it into a Google Doc. I do have to sign in.
[00:27:13.000]
And then what happens is it'll land in a folder. Let me show you in my Google Drive.
[00:27:18.000]
It'll land in a folder titled Gale In Context College, but here it is in my recent files and it turns it into a Google Doc.
[00:27:28.000]
And then. It's still marked up. Of course it's the long article. There it is.
[00:27:34.000]
And then below my source citation at the bottom. The highlighted passage in any notes I've taken.
[00:27:43.000]
One other thing I want to share with you, I'm going to go into another article. Let me go back to my results this time.
[00:27:49.000]
Let's go into memoirs of Calamity Jane.
[00:27:53.000]
And again, starts with a commentary. We have our explore panel here, but now I'm going to.
[00:28:01.000]
What's highlight another chunk of text.
[00:28:08.000]
And some basic notes here. And then again best practice send it. Now what's also happening is my highlights and notes is being built out.
[00:28:17.000]
So a couple of things I want to talk to you about this. Citations 1st before we go into highlights and notes, citations, if I just want my citation, it is here.
[00:28:25.000]
I can change the format. I can choose where I'd like to export it to. It also lives at the bottom of my article and I have those same features.
[00:28:33.000]
I can change the format before I send it to my Google Drive, Microsoft Onedrive. Email, download, or print.
[00:28:40.000]
So that's at the bottom of the article. Highlights and notes, let's talk about that.
[00:28:44.000]
When I've on an article that I've highlighted, I have the option to view all highlights and notes.
[00:28:52.000]
And then here are what I like to call digital. So we have the article, I can change the format, the bibliography is attached.
[00:29:00.000]
I can edit my notes before I send this because what I can do is I can send these digital notes to Google Microsoft email download or print So I like to call them digital notes.
[00:29:15.000]
Before that exact reason. Not only that, but I can create labels. So I use 2 colors.
[00:29:22.000]
Pink and yellow and maybe I.
[00:29:29.000]
Maybe I wanna put something else like facts or quotes or something like that to let me know that this is a legend.
[00:29:30.000]
Obviously I can read the titles so maybe this is a fact.
[00:29:41.000]
And save. So now it creates this legend and when I send this to my, let's use Google Drive in as an example, I'll have these highlights and notes in these chunk, just the chunks of text, just my notes.
[00:29:54.000]
I'll have the legend here at the top. The big bibliography will also be attached.
[00:29:58.000]
One more tip I want to share with you. Here's my works cited page. So I have that citation tool in my contextual toolbar.
[00:30:03.000]
Here's my citation page. So that is a great skill. Any researcher, this is so much easier for them to grab this information and have this export it, send it to their Google Drive, Onedrive, or just copy and paste it.
[00:30:20.000]
But I love to share how highlights and notes can also support that works cited page. Or bibliography that folks are working on.
[00:30:29.000]
Okay, so we talked about Gale In context. College and.
[00:30:36.000]
Covered all of the tools I want to there. I'm going to quickly jump into Gale ebooks.
[00:30:42.000]
So back to my product. Ebooks. And what I want to share with you here is how to search within a collection.
[00:30:44.000]
So you can click on a cover and We're not gonna go too much into that. We're gonna go right into a collection, Library Science.
[00:30:58.000]
And here I am going to search within. So my search box at the top. Now searching within just this collection.
[00:31:08.000]
So I'm going to search within for outreach. Something libraries.
[00:31:13.000]
Are always working on. Reaching their community and it gives me 39 different results. I can see a summary.
[00:31:20.000]
This is all very information, right? What I want to share with you here is the bookview versus text view.
[00:31:29.000]
So when I click into a title, it'll take me to that section. There's 8 pages.
[00:31:35.000]
And this topic. And they're all topic overviews, but there's there's 8 pages here.
[00:31:42.000]
So this section of the book, my table of content still lives up top, tells you where I'm at within the book.
[00:31:48.000]
But I'm in text view. When I'm in Text View, I have all of my tools to support accessibility.
[00:31:53.000]
The ability to translate the article into over 50 languages. Increase the font size or decrease.
[00:31:59.000]
The Change the display options, including the font, the line letter. And word spacing. This is a tool that will stick with you.
[00:32:09.000]
Stick with your user throughout their session. So once they set it up on one article. It'll stick with them until they leave the session.
[00:32:18.000]
Or open this back up and change it back to default settings. But you don't need to do that before you leave when you leave the session it clears it off for you.
[00:32:26.000]
And you can also listen to the text being read aloud. I have my quicksand options, Google, Microsoft, email, download print, and they also live here on paper airplane and in my contextual toolbar.
[00:32:37.000]
Now when I switch it to book view, which is a PDF of this information.
[00:32:44.000]
You can arrive this ebook. You can make some changes. 22 pages if I want.
[00:32:50.000]
I can skip jump forward. I can tap or swipe if I'm on an e-reader.
[00:32:55.000]
I can make this whole screen. So you have both text view and book view available. When you download, you're going to get the PDF version if we have it available.
[00:33:06.000]
So this source. You're gonna have the source text available in the downloaded version.
[00:33:12.000]
Okay, so I can download and it will download all 8 pages right onto my device. And that's across all of your gale resources.
[00:33:20.000]
You have that download option. Now, Text View has all of those tools to support accessibility where this is a PDF of the actual ebook, the print copy, and I have it digitally.
[00:33:31.000]
So if I do need that translate feature, I would want to be in text view. So there's your tip and trick in this resource.
[00:33:39.000]
Let me know if you have any questions. We talked about book versus text. View and download. Now the next resource we are going to go into.
[00:33:52.000]
Is G in context opposing viewpoints. I'm going to show you some hidden gems within this resource.
[00:33:55.000]
So oppose all of your in context again, rich multimedia, you have these topics. With topic pages available, topic pages are curated collections of information.
[00:34:10.000]
And we are going to go directly into this one here at the top. The national debate topic oops explore this topic All of our topic pages have an image and an essay overview, slightly different than what we have in your one file resources.
[00:34:22.000]
Academic one file and general one file as you noticed. This is slightly different. We're in our in contact suite, just like in college.
[00:34:33.000]
Where you have on this page, you have all of these. The content types, our featured viewpoints are hand selected by our content editors and our subject matter experts.
[00:34:36.000]
So you're going to see and I love it in opposing viewpoints because you'll see both sides of the issue.
[00:34:50.000]
Now, what I want to point out to you is interactive infographics that we have available.
[00:34:57.000]
And we're going to go to this last one. And it's its its own content type.
[00:35:01.000]
So you'll always see it in those. Content types. So if you were to go into advanced search and you wanted to see all of the interactive infographics we have available and then use search within to find that content.
[00:35:12.000]
That's a path you can take just like I did with primary sources. Same idea because it is its own content type.
[00:35:19.000]
But if it is related to a topic page, it will be here waiting.
[00:35:24.000]
And what these are, you'll find, and I usually, there's usually 2, sometimes I see 3 different graphs available.
[00:35:31.000]
But they're interactive. So if I wanted to remove all of the don't know from this top graph, I can.
[00:35:39.000]
Bye age group. Again, remove the don't nose.
[00:35:45.000]
Party identification.
[00:35:49.000]
Not important at all. If I'm looking just so I can manipulate or I can interact with this graph.
[00:35:51.000]
Same thing at the bottom.
[00:35:58.000]
Okay, not only that, but I have those supplemental pieces of information here in that explore panel. So always great to you're in an infographic again.
[00:36:08.000]
Interactive and You also can go to additional content. Another tool I want to share with you is one of my favorites and that's Topic Finder.
[00:36:20.000]
Now Topic Finder lives in a couple places. Let me go back to the topic page. It lives here.
[00:36:25.000]
If I use timeic finder when I'm on a topic page, it will pull in the results from the topic page only.
[00:36:33.000]
So topic Finder lives here. My architectural toolbar when I'm in a topic page. Or my search results.
[00:36:41.000]
And it also lives, I just clicked into reference. It also lives here below my filter your results.
[00:36:42.000]
And again, Starting it here, we'll pull in.
[00:36:52.000]
What I the topic page I was on as you can see here Okay. It also lives if I wanted to kick off my search.
[00:37:01.000]
It lives on the homepage as we saw in our one file resources. And it also always lives under advanced search.
[00:37:12.000]
So always find it under advanced search, but it lives on the homepage of our resources too. So if I want to kick off my search from here, let's say I'm interested in artificial intelligence.
[00:37:32.000]
The visualization is either the tiles or the wheel. It's right here.
[00:37:41.000]
It's interactive, so I click on and it's looking at keywords. So it's looking at the 100 words from a subset of your top results and feeds and it feeds them into an algorithm.
[00:37:53.000]
So that's what you're seeing those keywords. And then I really like this too, especially when our users are accessing it.
[00:37:57.000]
Maybe there's terms they hadn't necessarily thought about. And it pulls that out for them.
[00:38:06.000]
And gets them to interact with the content. And dive in a little deeper. So if I'm specifically interested in chat GPT, you can see on the right hand side I with 2 clicks I have 5 results and they can be articles, documents, images, videos, it's all of our content that's being pulled in here.
[00:38:24.000]
So generative AI holds much promise for businesses. And here's my article.
[00:38:32.000]
All right, let me know if you have any questions. I haven't had any come through yet.
[00:38:33.000]
We are going to also jump into one more in context resource. For our youngest users in that scale and context elementary.
[00:38:51.000]
And what I want to share with you here is a couple of unique items. We have On the homepage, you can see topics, books, news, pictures, videos, and you also have magazines.
[00:39:02.000]
And the reason why you have magazines is because you also have access to National Geographic Kids. So all of that National Geographic kids, that resource can be accessed individually as a standalone.
[00:39:07.000]
It still this, but we've also pulled that content here. Into Gale In context elementary. So it's a 1-stop shop because you're getting your magazines and also any k 5 e-books, Gale ebooks that have been.
[00:39:28.000]
Purchased for you all? From Gale, from texture, I should say. They all live here too.
[00:39:35.000]
So all of this information is being pulled into one spot. For our youngest users to access. So we keep it as simple as possible for them.
[00:39:40.000]
Something else that we've done is we have the ability to listen to the sound by what I mean by that is if I turn that sound on and I'm going to turn on my computer audio real quick here.
[00:39:57.000]
When I turn that sound on, it'll read wherever my cursor is. And this is separate then that tool to support accessibility that listen button.
[00:40:04.000]
This is to help students navigate through the resource.
[00:40:08.000]
Videos Pictures I wonder how many moons does the planet Jupiter have? Find out.
[00:40:18.000]
Videos
[00:40:19.000]
So you can see how it helps them navigate through. The resource. All right, we are going to look at the topic tree real quick and I just want to point out we're gonna go into parts of, well, So I just want to point out animals you can see quite a few topics here.
[00:40:34.000]
Mammals definitely very important to our students and as I continue to drill down we have these high level pieces of information.
[00:40:40.000]
Here's another one on mammals. And then cats and dogs are always number one and 2.
[00:40:47.000]
This is how I visually jump to that topic page. Right. We have.
[00:40:55.000]
Added a lot of these infographics too. Best breed dogs for service dogs best breeds for service dogs.
[00:41:03.000]
I have a lab. And she's definitely would be great. But you have those infographics available.
[00:41:12.000]
And then I'm going to go all the way back out. Let's go to the homepage because one topic that we pulled out so you can see very broad topics right geography any US state information you're interested in people presidents is always a hot topic that is covered in schools.
[00:41:29.000]
Plants we pulled out. So you can see it's a little bit more specific. So we have fewer of these topics, but.
[00:41:36.000]
I'm gonna go into types of a plant.
[00:41:39.000]
We have this topic page, image, essay, overview. You have the ability to in the essay overview to change the level.
[00:41:47.000]
So level ones in twos, level one, early elementary, level 2 is upper elementary. We have 5 levels.
[00:41:54.000]
So if you remember level 3 is middle school, everything below elementary and above is high school on to undergrad.
[00:42:04.000]
Okay, let me go back to the topic page because of what I want to point out to you is We have go into pictures.
[00:42:13.000]
Specifically, I'm going to search within this for unlabeled and I'll show you why.
[00:42:18.000]
It's 1 of those hidden gems. We have unlabeled images available in your Gale resources.
[00:42:22.000]
So if we have an unlabeled, that means we also have a labeled image. So this parts of a plant.
[00:42:29.000]
I'm going to remove that filter. And this time I'm going to search within for parts of a plant.
[00:42:40.000]
You can see here's the unlabeled and here's a labeled illustration.
[00:42:47.000]
Okay, there's a labeled. Going back. Here's the unlabeled and the unlabeled.
[00:42:53.000]
Can you identify? So you could create, this could be turned into an. Where I had a librarian share with me, she was going to use it and pull it into Google Draw and then, use these words.
[00:43:08.000]
As a word bank and so students could label. The image, which I thought was a brilliant idea and she was working with closely with a teacher at a school.
[00:43:17.000]
So it's great for summer programming or just programming in your public libraries for your librarians that are, you know, working with the children.
[00:43:19.000]
These are great activities as a as a parent of 3, I would love to have stuff like this to go along with what we were working on.
[00:43:32.000]
Especially parts of the plant because again something that's covered in schools and in part a curriculum. So great for public libraries to support other students.
[00:43:41.000]
Or you are academic, you have future teachers. Right at at your school at your college. Sean, the stuff is available.
[00:43:49.000]
I was an educator. Man, would I have loved to have this stuff to, you know, this type of database, this information at my fingertips to be able to use and bring into my lesson plans because when you go to student teaching or internships that it's called sometimes here in Michigan.
[00:44:06.000]
You will, having these tools in my toolkit would have been super helpful. So keep that in mind.
[00:44:12.000]
You have those options available. Now we're going to and I could here's another way to find all of my unlabeled images is to just do a basic search.
[00:44:22.000]
So here's another tip and trick. If I do a search on unlabeled Here are all the unlabeled images and again if we have an unlabeled one that means we have a labeled one so you can see water cycle.
[00:44:34.000]
So I could do a search on water cycle and find both images.
[00:44:39.000]
Alright, and we have 58 different options available. Okay, now let's do advanced search. I want to show you something else you can do.
[00:44:48.000]
So advanced search and I am going to select magazines and newspapers. And just click search. Now, over on my right hand side, you can see I get lots of great information.
[00:45:02.000]
I can filter to, but I'm gonna filter to publication titles and I'm specifically looking for highlights.
[00:45:10.000]
And I'm going to do highlights for children and apply it. Okay. So now that filters it down to magazine, 17,000.
[00:45:17.000]
I'm going to take it one step further. I'm specifically looking for, I know what article I'm looking for.
[00:45:18.000]
But I would do a search on weather if I, if, you know, and that's, again, a part of many curriculums, but I know I'm looking for wacky weather.
[00:45:31.000]
So I want to show you specifically. This document.
[00:45:37.000]
Here. So wacky weather, this document happens to have questions.
[00:45:44.000]
Image for those questions and then the answers. Now what I've done is I created
[00:45:54.000]
All I did was pull this, send this article to my Google Drive and then started moving things around.
[00:46:00.000]
I moved the image up up top and then I put the questions here. I could have added name. I highlighted or enlarged and made this bold the title but here's my activity.
[00:46:11.000]
So I have these types of and here's my answers for myself. As I'm sharing this with students.
[00:46:17.000]
So here's my student activity that I quickly created. An article. Document in Gale In Context Elementary.
[00:46:28.000]
So lots of tips and tricks to use what's there and build something for your classroom without having to start from scratch.
[00:46:36.000]
Right. Okay. Last resource we're going to touch into before we leave today, and that is in your literature resources.
[00:46:40.000]
So again, back to the product. This time I'm going to go, well, actually it's in cross search because I'm going to show you Gale literature 1st and then literature resource centers.
[00:46:53.000]
So real quick. 2 things I want to share with you. Gale literature, and you can see the 4 resources it's cross-searching through.
[00:47:01.000]
Literature Resource Center, LIT Finder, Scribner, and Twain's.
[00:47:05.000]
I'm gonna go into gale literature, so I open that up. Again, I need to know what's inside.
[00:47:10.000]
It's right here, this little box will tell me those. And I can even retrieve the title list if I, that's something I'm interested in.
[00:47:19.000]
My contextual toolbar is here. I can do a person search, a work search. So all of those tools are available.
[00:47:25.000]
But let's say I just want to do a quick search on Maya Angelou and what I want to share with you here.
[00:47:30.000]
To Similar to our in context resources and our browsed by disciplines, we've done some curating for you.
[00:47:31.000]
We have topic pages, not just like our in context, they're a little different, but I just want to share when I click into it what you're going to find.
[00:47:38.000]
So even though we're in a cross search tool that's organized all this information you can see the similarity.
[00:47:52.000]
The consistency. And here you're getting all of your lit crib, but you're also getting, your primary source and literary works where the lot of this information will come from Lit Finder.
[00:48:03.000]
Your literature criticism is probably more majority coming from Gale Literature Resource Center and you can see below.
[00:48:10.000]
It's telling you which resource it's being being pulled from but you have an image essay overview and any related topics Okay, so I wanted to point that out, but I also want to share with you Let's go back to literature.
[00:48:26.000]
So back to my product menu. This time I'm going to go into Gale Literature Resource Center.
[00:48:29.000]
And I want to share with you why you might want to highlight this resource because looking at the homepage and the things that we've changed here, we have featured works and featured topics.
[00:48:43.000]
We also have topic finder in term frequency here. So when I click into browse, I can go directly into any of these if I wanted to, but I can go into Browse Works.
[00:48:53.000]
It does give me the option to jump between. Here I'm in the works or literary works or I can go to topics.
[00:49:02.000]
If I want to filter by. A certain topic like romanticism, say. Let's go to American Romanticism.
[00:49:10.000]
It gives me a topic page. Related content. All of my content types in the center and it's all organized here on this beautiful topic page.
[00:49:23.000]
Okay, very similar again to where we were at in our other resources. If I go back. And this time I'm interested in works.
[00:49:33.000]
And maybe I had to do animal farm when I was in college. Animal Farm. Again, related topics here.
[00:49:43.000]
And then here's all the organized content, starts with our LITRe at the top.
[00:49:49.000]
Okay. So I just wanted to share those different tips and tricks within your Gale resources. With that, let me jump back to our PowerPoint to share with you where you can go for additional support.
[00:50:01.000]
That is your Gale support site.
[00:50:07.000]
So you can go to the link that I shared at the beginning. Of today's training and under the training center of course you'll find all of your access information we talked about that already mark records database icons in the training center you're going to find tip sheets.
[00:50:22.000]
We've started adding these. We've almost completed. We've only, I think, have a couple more to do, but training toolkits for all of our Gale resources.
[00:50:24.000]
And they're a great start to finish. So the basics to find help since this is an advanced session, some of you may be doing training in your own buildings.

My name is Tammi Burke. I'm your gale trainer. Any questions that you have throughout today's training, please feel free to use that Q&A box.
[00:00:27.000]
For today's training, this is an advanced session. Where we will be focusing on strategies, tools and features to enhance research.
[00:00:31.000]
Also understanding search options that you have available and we're gonna have some fun with some tips and tricks.
[00:00:37.000]
And hidden gems. This is one of my favorite training sessions to do. So we're gonna have some fun.
[00:00:47.000]
I get to show you some fun stuff within the resources. And Michael is for you all to walk away with content and also tools that you can share with patrons, faculty, students of all ages.
[00:00:58.000]
So let's get started with a brief agenda. Again, if there are any questions today throughout the training, please feel free to use that Q&A backs.
[00:01:10.000]
We are going to start with access to the type share resources and I will provide you with an overview of the Gale resources that you have available.
[00:01:20.000]
I did not add all of them to us to a slide. It's really too many to add to one slide, but.
[00:01:27.000]
Do want to talk through some of them and so you have a what to use one kind of overview of the Gale resources.
[00:01:35.000]
We'll be exploring content, tips, and tricks. We'll be talking about and then those tools and features that are shared across your Gale resources.
[00:01:44.000]
Any questions that you have again, please feel free to use that Q&A box. You'll also receive my information at the end of today's training and in a follow-up email.
[00:01:54.000]
So feel free to ask me. Any questions that you may have. And then you also have one on one support with your Gale customer success managers and they are there to support you and all things Gale.
[00:02:00.000]
So if you're looking for maybe usage reports or you want to talk to them about access or setting up a learning management system.
[00:02:14.000]
They can help with all those questions. So I'll share their information at the end and of course their contact information is always included in the follow-up email too.
[00:02:24.000]
Alright, so let's talk about access. Now to get all of your direct URLs, if you're not already using them, you can go to the support site that we've created for tech share.
[00:02:35.000]
The link is here on the screen. I will also add that to the chat. So let me post that in the chat real quick here.
[00:02:42.000]
And And what you're going to find if you're looking for again all of those direct URLs.
[00:02:48.000]
2 your individual resources. What you'll do is use this link. You'll sign in with your library.
[00:02:55.000]
Or you can find it from the list. And once you click proceed. You'll be taken to all of the products that you have access to and your location ID will be built right into those product links.
[00:03:08.000]
So this is where you can get all of your direct URLs. If you're looking for additional support like icons and widgets.
[00:03:14.000]
Mark records. This is also where you would come for all this information. If you'd like to export your entire list of links.
[00:03:22.000]
And import them into your library website, then you can do that or Discovery Services. If you have any questions about that, you can export the links here and we have a lot of for our academic folks, technical documents for discovery services.
[00:03:41.000]
So. You can, find that information. Again, all here on the support site along with training, both upcoming and recorded, and then great marketing materials that we have available.
[00:03:52.000]
So this is a great site to bookmark. So let's talk about your Gale resources that you have from Tech Share.
[00:03:59.000]
We want, when I 1st talk about these. We're going to start with the in context product family.
[00:04:06.000]
In context is rich multimedia. It's organized in topic pages. We have from kindergarten all the way unto college.
[00:04:09.000]
So you can see here that you have the 3 building blocks, cross-curricular general reference.
[00:04:21.000]
And really I should be 4 because you have college also. So Gale In context elementary, middle school, and high school.
[00:04:29.000]
And you also have Gale and Context College. So again, cross-curricular general reference.
[00:04:35.000]
You also have environmental studies, which is a great resource for those. High school AP classes, but also at the college level.
[00:04:45.000]
Environmental studies is a great course that a lot of students and sometimes major that a lot of students are focused on.
[00:04:52.000]
You're gonna find great content for your faculty members available here within this resource. For our public libraries, anyone doing research or you might have folks that are looking for this type of information, regarding in, you know, directly related to the environment and focused on the environment, you may want to direct them to Gale In context environmental studies.
[00:05:15.000]
And then for our hot topic, social issues, controversial issues, Gale In context opposing viewpoints, great for high school used a lot at the academic level and public libraries too because it has that shows all sides of the issue.
[00:05:32.000]
And we're going to, that is one of the resources we are going to jump into today. Of course, we can't jump into all of these, I but I hand selected a few.
[00:05:41.000]
I could do multiple advanced tips and trick sessions and maybe we'll add some more in the future. But I did have to select just a couple to really focus on today.
[00:05:50.000]
Going down the list on the right hand side, you have 2 health resources the difference between the 2 health and wellness is designed more as that consumer approach.
[00:05:56.000]
So for your public library patrons, if you're working, if you're a public library that's working with high schools or an academic library also working with high schools, health and wellness is a great one for you, for any health classes but also for counselors.
[00:06:13.000]
There's great information in here on anxiety and depression and stress and those types of things that students are dealing with.
[00:06:19.000]
So for public libraries, if you're any therapists that are coming into your office or into your library, this is a great one to introduce to them.
[00:06:31.000]
But also next level would be for our healthcare professionals, medical students, medical researchers, you'll have health and medicine.
[00:06:39.000]
So this one is designed more for those folks and it is in our one file family, anything in the One File product family is periodical content.
[00:06:48.000]
Journals, academic journals, magazines, newspapers, some multimedia, but it's mainly focused on our periodicals.
[00:06:56.000]
You also have National Geographic Virtual Library, so you have all of those magazines available.
[00:07:02.000]
To you from National Geographic. It's really a beautiful site. Along with that you have National Geographic Kids, which is great for our elementary students.
[00:07:11.000]
On the left hand side, let's talk about these resources. 2 from your one file product family.
[00:07:17.000]
Academic one file. Designed again for higher ed. It has scholarly, scholarly journals and it's more focused on that academic research and academic work that's done at the higher ed level courses.
[00:07:30.000]
That's what you're going to find within that resource where more of our general one file is is that general reference, information that you're going to find, all of those publications that you probably have maybe one copy on your shelves in your library in our public libraries a print copy you also take a look and see we have quite a few publications that you carry in your library.
[00:07:48.000]
Available digitally. And then of course you have all those great tools to support accessibility in all your gale resources.
[00:07:57.000]
So keep that in mind. And showcasing it for those types of publications. For the literature resources I want to touch into, Gale Literature is a cross search tool.
[00:08:08.000]
And it cross searches through all 4 of your literature resources that you have from tech share. One of them I pulled out is Literature Resource Center.
[00:08:16.000]
This has gone through over the last year enhancements and there are still a couple more to come. And so the design is a little different.
[00:08:19.000]
So you might want to showcase this. Resource individually even though it is a part of your Gale literature cross search.
[00:08:31.000]
Chilton Library is for those car enthusiasts any type of any mechanic actually and we're mobile responsive so a lot of times what happens with the Chiltern Library collection is it's accessed from phones.
[00:08:43.000]
We, I mean, I have a nephew that's a mechanic and he's always looking at his phone for those different types and pieces of information.
[00:08:54.000]
And the nice thing is too it also has the ASE practice test and then a great video library is available along with everything that Chilton Library has to offer.
[00:09:02.000]
The those books don't last very long in in mechanics shops because the paper is really thin.
[00:09:04.000]
So introduce. Those folks to what they have available at your library. On the left hand side we did just do a three-part series on the business resources.
[00:09:21.000]
So we covered entrepreneurship and gale business insights and then from our one file product family, Gale one file business.
[00:09:28.000]
So those webinars are available. It's a three-part series. Entrepreneurship, real quick, the great tool for small business owners or those looking to start a small business or manage their small business, but also you're going to find the complete set of the business plan book is here in this resource digitally available.
[00:09:50.000]
And then in Gale Business Insights looking at company profiles. I'm also globally like taking a look at what's happening globally.
[00:09:58.000]
But you like, grab a lot of great articles, business articles available and what's trending you're going to find here in Gale Business Insights.
[00:10:07.000]
For our readers advisory you have Gale Books and Authors. Books and Authors is a fantastic tool.
[00:10:13.000]
It might support if you're looking at summer reading. You might want to introduce this resource to those folks coming into your library this summer.
[00:10:21.000]
And you do have some options to, and this is really our K 12 folks are really interested in this, where you can limit what books are being shown by, bike, let's call it class.
[00:10:37.000]
So we have children's young adult and adult are the 3 types that you have available. So if you just wanted to show children's, you could do that.
[00:10:46.000]
There's some options in Gale Admin that you can use that you can utilize, but just know it'll It'll be that way for everyone that accesses books and authors.
[00:10:52.000]
So you can see where if an elementary school is showing books and authors as a readers advisory to their students.
[00:11:02.000]
That if they want a limit to just children's would be ideal. So they have that capability available within the resource.
[00:11:09.000]
And the last one is strictly for our public libraries and that is Gale presents you to me. DIY learning on-demand learning, thousands of courses and teachers international also.
[00:11:17.000]
So you're going to find some international courses available here. And it covers everything from looking to grow your career or technology skills to personal enrichment.
[00:11:33.000]
If you're looking to increase, you know, maybe you want to improve your photography. That's something that I'm always interested in.
[00:11:35.000]
There's a class for it. So, Gale presents you to me is fantastic for our public libraries.
[00:11:44.000]
So that's a quick overview of some of your Gale resources. I didn't include everything as I mentioned, but I hit on some of the the ones that in different areas that would be I thought would be interesting to you all to know a little bit more about.
[00:11:52.000]
So with that, let's explore. So let's jump into your gale resources. And the 1st one we are going to access is academic one file.
[00:12:08.000]
So I'm going to share my screen and share with you.
[00:12:14.000]
That product. So. You have from Tech Share, you do have, and let me sign in real quick.
[00:12:26.000]
You do have access to Gale, Academic One File. A few things I want to point out within this resource.
[00:12:32.000]
So 1st is you have the ability to browse by discipline, which is really a helpful tool. You have students and researchers and faculty members that are utilizing this.
[00:12:40.000]
Resource and they need to find exactly what they're looking for. So rather than doing a basic search, they're going to, which is a great option.
[00:12:51.000]
I'm going to show you the difference and talk through the difference. If you're looking for something specific, for example, I'm looking, I have these disciplines here.
[00:12:55.000]
Maybe I'm interested in psychology and specifically memory.
[00:13:05.000]
This is going to give me that clear path. To this discipline on this topic. Where if I were to do a basic search, if that were my only option to do just a basic search, I could pull back memory related like computer memory, not just.
[00:13:21.000]
Related to psychology. So you're going to get A lot of information that you would have to filter down where if you use the disciplines it takes you to that light size piece it takes you directly what you're interested in.
[00:13:34.000]
Okay, and then of course there's a lot of great tools with filtering your results and we're touch into this because the tools and features are the same across all of your guill resources.
[00:13:44.000]
One thing I want to point out before I jump into something else in this resource is the get link tool.
[00:13:45.000]
Get link provides a persistent URL back to any spat within the resource. So if this is something you want to share with your course in your coursework or your syllabus or if it's part of your public library programming.
[00:13:57.000]
You can utilize the get link tool and take folks directly to all this content.
[00:14:08.000]
Now let me go back. I don't have to go all the way back to the homepage, but I do want to go back and point out a few things here at the bottom.
[00:14:13.000]
You do have some search tool options here on the homepage. Topic Finder, subject guide search and publication search.
[00:14:20.000]
These also all live under advanced search. You'll always find them there too. They happen to be here on the homepage.
[00:14:27.000]
Now I'm going to do a quick search on isotope.
[00:14:34.000]
Analysis.
[00:14:38.000]
And what I want to point out here is when I do a basic search, I have the ability to, and here's your tip of trick, to set up a search alert.
[00:14:48.000]
In our one file product family. So again, anything with one file in a title. You're going to have the ability after you do a search, advanced or basic search, you have the ability to set up a search alert.
[00:15:01.000]
And I can filter this content town if I'm specifically looking for maybe I just want all of the reports and brief articles.
[00:15:11.000]
Apply that it will filter that content down and then when I set up my search alert it will not only send me information on isotop analysis but also on specifically related to these 2 document types.
[00:15:23.000]
So it filters it for me. So I can set up a search alert. And or I can use, you know, I can use RSS feed or set up, set it up via email.
[00:15:33.000]
Our SSV just adding it to my browser. If I set it up as an email, I have some options of frequency and the format that I would like to receive it in and then I just click search alert.
[00:15:45.000]
Schedule alert.
[00:15:50.000]
Create alert. Sorry. I had a box. So like yeah, close captioning was in the way there.
[00:15:55.000]
I knew it was one of those. I just couldn't remember off top my head. Search alert.
[00:15:56.000]
We just covered. Now let's talk about setting up a journal alert. Now as I mentioned on the homepage, you have publication search.
[00:16:07.000]
And it also lives under Advanced Search. So if I were to have clicked into advanced search it would take me directly to This screen.
[00:16:18.000]
But from the homepage I can jump into publication search. So I can list all my publications and filter the information down on the right hand side using some of these limiters or let me go back.
[00:16:32.000]
I have some research limiters here that are available. But I know I'm interested in the New England Journal of Medicine.
[00:16:46.000]
And if this is something that every time Anything new is added. I can set up a journal alert.
[00:16:56.000]
Same thing just like the search alert. It's just a journal or so I have to find the publication 1st and then I can create that journal or Alright, so I wanted to share with you Academic One File and I also said I'd like to share General One file and I also said I'd like to share General One file.
[00:17:14.000]
Now one thing I want to show you is at the top left of your resource You can see library menu.
[00:17:20.000]
In that library menu, this is a quick way to jump between your resources is the view gale product menu.
[00:17:28.000]
And this is what our product menu looks like. It does open in the same tab, so keep that in mind.
[00:17:33.000]
I do already have it open here, but this will take you to all of your databases. Now, if you would like to use this as your main URL to access all of your Gale databases, you could do that too.
[00:17:39.000]
It's it's an option for access. But the 1st page is all the databases and then I can quickly filter to in context.
[00:17:54.000]
E-books, periodicals, literature business, more, and then my cross search tools, which is power search and gale literature.
[00:18:03.000]
More is going to be any of our Gale presents, like our 3rd party resources. So National Geographic is one, for example.
[00:18:11.000]
Gale presents National Geographic Virtual Library. Those are going to live under the Moore section.
[00:18:17.000]
General one file, similar. I just want to point out that you do have that similarity here. You're browsing by topic.
[00:18:23.000]
So if I went into news and current events. And maybe I'm interested in pollution. You can see it pulls back all that content and then here I can filter that information down.
[00:18:34.000]
Maybe I want to filter by everything from the past year. And it filters all of that content at once.
[00:18:41.000]
Anytime I add any of the filter options, it'll filter it all down at once. So all of my content, not just the magazines that I'm in right now.
[00:18:51.000]
Okay, and again I can create that. Get link and journal alerts again work the same way within this resource.
[00:18:58.000]
Same with search alerts. So if I did a search on pollution.
[00:19:05.000]
Then I have that search alert option and same thing. Again, advanced search. Publication search. And maybe I'm looking for the New York Times.
[00:19:18.000]
And you can see we have When I click into the New York Times, we have. All kinds of different options here.
[00:19:23.000]
New York Times for Kids is also available.
[00:19:30.000]
I click into the New York Times and this is the print version. New York Times when they move sometimes when they put stuff on their website the the version, they'll change the titles to the publications or to their articles.
[00:19:38.000]
This is the print version of that. So if you're looking for a certain title or your users are.
[00:19:49.000]
Let them know that it's the print copy. Okay. All right. So.
[00:19:56.000]
Economic one file general one file. Let's switch gears and we're gonna go into in context resource.
[00:19:57.000]
Please let me know if you have any questions. So I'm going to close out. That tab and now I'm going to go directly to in context.
[00:20:09.000]
And we are going to go into college.
[00:20:14.000]
This resource so all of our in context resources start with the scrolling images and they're changed every month.
[00:20:21.000]
And then below we have subject categories with topic pages. Topic pages are curated collections of information.
[00:20:28.000]
You'll also find that and I say curiosity collections of information. I should also add these have been created by our content editors.
[00:20:35.000]
They work really hard on that. We have subject matter experts that work on, for example, academic one file, those disciplines are created by our subject matter.
[00:20:43.000]
We have a lot of a lot of folks working within these resources to make them the best that they can be.
[00:20:47.000]
In these resources to make them the best that they can be and keep them consistent. So you'll always have that HTML version of our also the ability to download as a PDF.
[00:21:02.000]
So you'll always have both and it will be consistent across your Gale resources. So consistency is really important to us.
[00:21:03.000]
And also with students learning at a young age with these resources, keeping those tools and features consistent across all the resources is a really helpful tool for them too.
[00:21:22.000]
Okay, so what I want to share with you is in advanced search. So let's, again, this is an advanced session.
[00:21:29.000]
I am pulling in a few of the basics, but. I'm focusing more on those. Advanced tips and tricks.
[00:21:37.000]
So if looking in Gale In context college, I'm interested in an advanced search of primary sources. I want all of my primary sources and then I want to filter it down.
[00:21:43.000]
Now the nice thing is with advanced search is that we've given some help here. So in the fields, understanding what you have available and what it's actually searching for.
[00:21:58.000]
So if I click entire document it tells me that what the resource is going to do once I put in a term is it is going to look through the entire document that it contains these terms.
[00:22:11.000]
So, So we give a little bit of help here.
[00:22:15.000]
Search tips on operators and special characters are also available really helpful as your teaching students or patrons if they're working within your library on these digital resources they have these helpful tips available within the resource.
[00:22:33.000]
And then a lot of research limiters again, what we're going to do is we are going to filter by content type and we're going to choose primary sources.
[00:22:43.000]
And then document type. So I am interested in. Personal accounts and I'm in a multi select So personal accounts, let's do memoirs.
[00:22:59.000]
Let's do letters.
[00:23:03.000]
Not letters to the editor. Actual primary source letters. We have diary, diary entries available.
[00:23:10.000]
Okay, let's start with those. Now I'm not going to put in any topic. I'm just going to click search.
[00:23:16.000]
So I have filtered down my primary sources and I still have 696 available because I selected all these great document types.
[00:23:26.000]
Now let's say I wanna filter it down further. So I know I have 696 primary sources.
[00:23:31.000]
I can see I have. Letters available here. Even from like Abraham Lincoln. And a lot our primary sources will start with a commentary.
[00:23:38.000]
And then they will go right into the actual primary source. But let's say I'm interested in the Wild West.
[00:23:50.000]
So I'm gonna search within for the Wild West.
[00:23:58.000]
And it filters it down to 3. So from 696, I was able to filter it to 3.
[00:24:04.000]
Let's look at this one, the killing of Billy the Kid. Because it does start with a commentary and then this is a personal account from John Poe.
[00:24:14.000]
I, when I was training in Texas, I decided that I was in Waco and I decided that I had to train in Lubbock.
[00:24:21.000]
And I had a day of travel in between. And instead of flying, I decided to drive. Well, I had the opportunity to drive through high co Texas and pass by the Billy the Kid Museum.
[00:24:33.000]
And I didn't stop in. I did regret it and it did stick with me because I was like, oh wow.
[00:24:37.000]
And so when I saw this primary source, I thought, what a better time to train on this and show folks in in Texas that you have that connection, right?
[00:24:46.000]
So I don't know if you all are familiar that you do have a Billy the Kid Museum there in high school, Texas, but I did pass by it on my drive from Wake O to Lubbock.
[00:24:56.000]
But this is a very interesting primary source. Because it's a direct account or personal account of what actually happened that day.
[00:25:04.000]
And how, you know, what happened after. The they, you know, there, it wasn't even really a showdown.
[00:25:11.000]
It was, it was kind of like a surprise situation. If you're familiar with what happened with the and Garrett in that in that situation of when he was shot.
[00:25:17.000]
So after he had killed, I think they they estimated 20 people, but this talks a little bit more about, probably closer to 4.
[00:25:31.000]
So it's interesting. What I also find great with these primary sources is not only do you have this primary source on Billy the Kid, but our explore panel gives you more information.
[00:25:37.000]
So you can find supplemental information from Outlaw to Legend. Who was Billy the Kid?
[00:25:47.000]
It's still a good question. So you can see some of these, supplemental pieces of information.
[00:25:53.000]
And maybe I'm interested in there's a section here. Let's scroll down. I should have done this.
[00:25:59.000]
Let's see it starts.
[00:26:04.000]
It's a it is a longer article, but it's really interesting. Here it is, about there have been many wild and untrue stories.
[00:26:14.000]
There was one about they cut off and carried away his fingers as a souvenir. And stuff like that.
[00:26:20.000]
So, which I did not know until I read this primary source. So I can highlight that. So what I'm using now is our highlights and notes to.
[00:26:28.000]
I'm highlighting a chunk of text. I'm going to add some notes. Maybe I'm gonna call this interesting.
[00:26:37.000]
Because this is a personal account and save that. Now my best practice, this is a tip and trick.
[00:26:45.000]
Sand this anytime a user has marked up a do. Make sure they have that entire document. Marked up exactly how it is with their notes, they will want to make sure they do something with it.
[00:26:58.000]
So send it, send it to Google Onedrive email. Download this information, print it off.
[00:27:05.000]
So it stays marked up. It'll turn it into a Google Doc. I do have to sign in.
[00:27:13.000]
And then what happens is it'll land in a folder. Let me show you in my Google Drive.
[00:27:18.000]
It'll land in a folder titled Gale In Context College, but here it is in my recent files and it turns it into a Google Doc.
[00:27:28.000]
And then. It's still marked up. Of course it's the long article. There it is.
[00:27:34.000]
And then below my source citation at the bottom. The highlighted passage in any notes I've taken.
[00:27:43.000]
One other thing I want to share with you, I'm going to go into another article. Let me go back to my results this time.
[00:27:49.000]
Let's go into memoirs of Calamity Jane.
[00:27:53.000]
And again, starts with a commentary. We have our explore panel here, but now I'm going to.
[00:28:01.000]
What's highlight another chunk of text.
[00:28:08.000]
And some basic notes here. And then again best practice send it. Now what's also happening is my highlights and notes is being built out.
[00:28:17.000]
So a couple of things I want to talk to you about this. Citations 1st before we go into highlights and notes, citations, if I just want my citation, it is here.
[00:28:25.000]
I can change the format. I can choose where I'd like to export it to. It also lives at the bottom of my article and I have those same features.
[00:28:33.000]
I can change the format before I send it to my Google Drive, Microsoft Onedrive. Email, download, or print.
[00:28:40.000]
So that's at the bottom of the article. Highlights and notes, let's talk about that.
[00:28:44.000]
When I've on an article that I've highlighted, I have the option to view all highlights and notes.
[00:28:52.000]
And then here are what I like to call digital. So we have the article, I can change the format, the bibliography is attached.
[00:29:00.000]
I can edit my notes before I send this because what I can do is I can send these digital notes to Google Microsoft email download or print So I like to call them digital notes.
[00:29:15.000]
Before that exact reason. Not only that, but I can create labels. So I use 2 colors.
[00:29:22.000]
Pink and yellow and maybe I.
[00:29:29.000]
Maybe I wanna put something else like facts or quotes or something like that to let me know that this is a legend.
[00:29:30.000]
Obviously I can read the titles so maybe this is a fact.
[00:29:41.000]
And save. So now it creates this legend and when I send this to my, let's use Google Drive in as an example, I'll have these highlights and notes in these chunk, just the chunks of text, just my notes.
[00:29:54.000]
I'll have the legend here at the top. The big bibliography will also be attached.
[00:29:58.000]
One more tip I want to share with you. Here's my works cited page. So I have that citation tool in my contextual toolbar.
[00:30:03.000]
Here's my citation page. So that is a great skill. Any researcher, this is so much easier for them to grab this information and have this export it, send it to their Google Drive, Onedrive, or just copy and paste it.
[00:30:20.000]
But I love to share how highlights and notes can also support that works cited page. Or bibliography that folks are working on.
[00:30:29.000]
Okay, so we talked about Gale In context. College and.
[00:30:36.000]
Covered all of the tools I want to there. I'm going to quickly jump into Gale ebooks.
[00:30:42.000]
So back to my product. Ebooks. And what I want to share with you here is how to search within a collection.
[00:30:44.000]
So you can click on a cover and We're not gonna go too much into that. We're gonna go right into a collection, Library Science.
[00:30:58.000]
And here I am going to search within. So my search box at the top. Now searching within just this collection.
[00:31:08.000]
So I'm going to search within for outreach. Something libraries.
[00:31:13.000]
Are always working on. Reaching their community and it gives me 39 different results. I can see a summary.
[00:31:20.000]
This is all very information, right? What I want to share with you here is the bookview versus text view.
[00:31:29.000]
So when I click into a title, it'll take me to that section. There's 8 pages.
[00:31:35.000]
And this topic. And they're all topic overviews, but there's there's 8 pages here.
[00:31:42.000]
So this section of the book, my table of content still lives up top, tells you where I'm at within the book.
[00:31:48.000]
But I'm in text view. When I'm in Text View, I have all of my tools to support accessibility.
[00:31:53.000]
The ability to translate the article into over 50 languages. Increase the font size or decrease.
[00:31:59.000]
The Change the display options, including the font, the line letter. And word spacing. This is a tool that will stick with you.
[00:32:09.000]
Stick with your user throughout their session. So once they set it up on one article. It'll stick with them until they leave the session.
[00:32:18.000]
Or open this back up and change it back to default settings. But you don't need to do that before you leave when you leave the session it clears it off for you.
[00:32:26.000]
And you can also listen to the text being read aloud. I have my quicksand options, Google, Microsoft, email, download print, and they also live here on paper airplane and in my contextual toolbar.
[00:32:37.000]
Now when I switch it to book view, which is a PDF of this information.
[00:32:44.000]
You can arrive this ebook. You can make some changes. 22 pages if I want.
[00:32:50.000]
I can skip jump forward. I can tap or swipe if I'm on an e-reader.
[00:32:55.000]
I can make this whole screen. So you have both text view and book view available. When you download, you're going to get the PDF version if we have it available.
[00:33:06.000]
So this source. You're gonna have the source text available in the downloaded version.
[00:33:12.000]
Okay, so I can download and it will download all 8 pages right onto my device. And that's across all of your gale resources.
[00:33:20.000]
You have that download option. Now, Text View has all of those tools to support accessibility where this is a PDF of the actual ebook, the print copy, and I have it digitally.
[00:33:31.000]
So if I do need that translate feature, I would want to be in text view. So there's your tip and trick in this resource.
[00:33:39.000]
Let me know if you have any questions. We talked about book versus text. View and download. Now the next resource we are going to go into.
[00:33:52.000]
Is G in context opposing viewpoints. I'm going to show you some hidden gems within this resource.
[00:33:55.000]
So oppose all of your in context again, rich multimedia, you have these topics. With topic pages available, topic pages are curated collections of information.
[00:34:10.000]
And we are going to go directly into this one here at the top. The national debate topic oops explore this topic All of our topic pages have an image and an essay overview, slightly different than what we have in your one file resources.
[00:34:22.000]
Academic one file and general one file as you noticed. This is slightly different. We're in our in contact suite, just like in college.
[00:34:33.000]
Where you have on this page, you have all of these. The content types, our featured viewpoints are hand selected by our content editors and our subject matter experts.
[00:34:36.000]
So you're going to see and I love it in opposing viewpoints because you'll see both sides of the issue.
[00:34:50.000]
Now, what I want to point out to you is interactive infographics that we have available.
[00:34:57.000]
And we're going to go to this last one. And it's its its own content type.
[00:35:01.000]
So you'll always see it in those. Content types. So if you were to go into advanced search and you wanted to see all of the interactive infographics we have available and then use search within to find that content.
[00:35:12.000]
That's a path you can take just like I did with primary sources. Same idea because it is its own content type.
[00:35:19.000]
But if it is related to a topic page, it will be here waiting.
[00:35:24.000]
And what these are, you'll find, and I usually, there's usually 2, sometimes I see 3 different graphs available.
[00:35:31.000]
But they're interactive. So if I wanted to remove all of the don't know from this top graph, I can.
[00:35:39.000]
Bye age group. Again, remove the don't nose.
[00:35:45.000]
Party identification.
[00:35:49.000]
Not important at all. If I'm looking just so I can manipulate or I can interact with this graph.
[00:35:51.000]
Same thing at the bottom.
[00:35:58.000]
Okay, not only that, but I have those supplemental pieces of information here in that explore panel. So always great to you're in an infographic again.
[00:36:08.000]
Interactive and You also can go to additional content. Another tool I want to share with you is one of my favorites and that's Topic Finder.
[00:36:20.000]
Now Topic Finder lives in a couple places. Let me go back to the topic page. It lives here.
[00:36:25.000]
If I use timeic finder when I'm on a topic page, it will pull in the results from the topic page only.
[00:36:33.000]
So topic Finder lives here. My architectural toolbar when I'm in a topic page. Or my search results.
[00:36:41.000]
And it also lives, I just clicked into reference. It also lives here below my filter your results.
[00:36:42.000]
And again, Starting it here, we'll pull in.
[00:36:52.000]
What I the topic page I was on as you can see here Okay. It also lives if I wanted to kick off my search.
[00:37:01.000]
It lives on the homepage as we saw in our one file resources. And it also always lives under advanced search.
[00:37:12.000]
So always find it under advanced search, but it lives on the homepage of our resources too. So if I want to kick off my search from here, let's say I'm interested in artificial intelligence.
[00:37:32.000]
The visualization is either the tiles or the wheel. It's right here.
[00:37:41.000]
It's interactive, so I click on and it's looking at keywords. So it's looking at the 100 words from a subset of your top results and feeds and it feeds them into an algorithm.
[00:37:53.000]
So that's what you're seeing those keywords. And then I really like this too, especially when our users are accessing it.
[00:37:57.000]
Maybe there's terms they hadn't necessarily thought about. And it pulls that out for them.
[00:38:06.000]
And gets them to interact with the content. And dive in a little deeper. So if I'm specifically interested in chat GPT, you can see on the right hand side I with 2 clicks I have 5 results and they can be articles, documents, images, videos, it's all of our content that's being pulled in here.
[00:38:24.000]
So generative AI holds much promise for businesses. And here's my article.
[00:38:32.000]
All right, let me know if you have any questions. I haven't had any come through yet.
[00:38:33.000]
We are going to also jump into one more in context resource. For our youngest users in that scale and context elementary.
[00:38:51.000]
And what I want to share with you here is a couple of unique items. We have On the homepage, you can see topics, books, news, pictures, videos, and you also have magazines.
[00:39:02.000]
And the reason why you have magazines is because you also have access to National Geographic Kids. So all of that National Geographic kids, that resource can be accessed individually as a standalone.
[00:39:07.000]
It still this, but we've also pulled that content here. Into Gale In context elementary. So it's a 1-stop shop because you're getting your magazines and also any k 5 e-books, Gale ebooks that have been.
[00:39:28.000]
Purchased for you all? From Gale, from texture, I should say. They all live here too.
[00:39:35.000]
So all of this information is being pulled into one spot. For our youngest users to access. So we keep it as simple as possible for them.
[00:39:40.000]
Something else that we've done is we have the ability to listen to the sound by what I mean by that is if I turn that sound on and I'm going to turn on my computer audio real quick here.
[00:39:57.000]
When I turn that sound on, it'll read wherever my cursor is. And this is separate then that tool to support accessibility that listen button.
[00:40:04.000]
This is to help students navigate through the resource.
[00:40:08.000]
Videos Pictures I wonder how many moons does the planet Jupiter have? Find out.
[00:40:18.000]
Videos
[00:40:19.000]
So you can see how it helps them navigate through. The resource. All right, we are going to look at the topic tree real quick and I just want to point out we're gonna go into parts of, well, So I just want to point out animals you can see quite a few topics here.
[00:40:34.000]
Mammals definitely very important to our students and as I continue to drill down we have these high level pieces of information.
[00:40:40.000]
Here's another one on mammals. And then cats and dogs are always number one and 2.
[00:40:47.000]
This is how I visually jump to that topic page. Right. We have.
[00:40:55.000]
Added a lot of these infographics too. Best breed dogs for service dogs best breeds for service dogs.
[00:41:03.000]
I have a lab. And she's definitely would be great. But you have those infographics available.
[00:41:12.000]
And then I'm going to go all the way back out. Let's go to the homepage because one topic that we pulled out so you can see very broad topics right geography any US state information you're interested in people presidents is always a hot topic that is covered in schools.
[00:41:29.000]
Plants we pulled out. So you can see it's a little bit more specific. So we have fewer of these topics, but.
[00:41:36.000]
I'm gonna go into types of a plant.
[00:41:39.000]
We have this topic page, image, essay, overview. You have the ability to in the essay overview to change the level.
[00:41:47.000]
So level ones in twos, level one, early elementary, level 2 is upper elementary. We have 5 levels.
[00:41:54.000]
So if you remember level 3 is middle school, everything below elementary and above is high school on to undergrad.
[00:42:04.000]
Okay, let me go back to the topic page because of what I want to point out to you is We have go into pictures.
[00:42:13.000]
Specifically, I'm going to search within this for unlabeled and I'll show you why.
[00:42:18.000]
It's 1 of those hidden gems. We have unlabeled images available in your Gale resources.
[00:42:22.000]
So if we have an unlabeled, that means we also have a labeled image. So this parts of a plant.
[00:42:29.000]
I'm going to remove that filter. And this time I'm going to search within for parts of a plant.
[00:42:40.000]
You can see here's the unlabeled and here's a labeled illustration.
[00:42:47.000]
Okay, there's a labeled. Going back. Here's the unlabeled and the unlabeled.
[00:42:53.000]
Can you identify? So you could create, this could be turned into an. Where I had a librarian share with me, she was going to use it and pull it into Google Draw and then, use these words.
[00:43:08.000]
As a word bank and so students could label. The image, which I thought was a brilliant idea and she was working with closely with a teacher at a school.
[00:43:17.000]
So it's great for summer programming or just programming in your public libraries for your librarians that are, you know, working with the children.
[00:43:19.000]
These are great activities as a as a parent of 3, I would love to have stuff like this to go along with what we were working on.
[00:43:32.000]
Especially parts of the plant because again something that's covered in schools and in part a curriculum. So great for public libraries to support other students.
[00:43:41.000]
Or you are academic, you have future teachers. Right at at your school at your college. Sean, the stuff is available.
[00:43:49.000]
I was an educator. Man, would I have loved to have this stuff to, you know, this type of database, this information at my fingertips to be able to use and bring into my lesson plans because when you go to student teaching or internships that it's called sometimes here in Michigan.
[00:44:06.000]
You will, having these tools in my toolkit would have been super helpful. So keep that in mind.
[00:44:12.000]
You have those options available. Now we're going to and I could here's another way to find all of my unlabeled images is to just do a basic search.
[00:44:22.000]
So here's another tip and trick. If I do a search on unlabeled Here are all the unlabeled images and again if we have an unlabeled one that means we have a labeled one so you can see water cycle.
[00:44:34.000]
So I could do a search on water cycle and find both images.
[00:44:39.000]
Alright, and we have 58 different options available. Okay, now let's do advanced search. I want to show you something else you can do.
[00:44:48.000]
So advanced search and I am going to select magazines and newspapers. And just click search. Now, over on my right hand side, you can see I get lots of great information.
[00:45:02.000]
I can filter to, but I'm gonna filter to publication titles and I'm specifically looking for highlights.
[00:45:10.000]
And I'm going to do highlights for children and apply it. Okay. So now that filters it down to magazine, 17,000.
[00:45:17.000]
I'm going to take it one step further. I'm specifically looking for, I know what article I'm looking for.
[00:45:18.000]
But I would do a search on weather if I, if, you know, and that's, again, a part of many curriculums, but I know I'm looking for wacky weather.
[00:45:31.000]
So I want to show you specifically. This document.
[00:45:37.000]
Here. So wacky weather, this document happens to have questions.
[00:45:44.000]
Image for those questions and then the answers. Now what I've done is I created
[00:45:54.000]
All I did was pull this, send this article to my Google Drive and then started moving things around.
[00:46:00.000]
I moved the image up up top and then I put the questions here. I could have added name. I highlighted or enlarged and made this bold the title but here's my activity.
[00:46:11.000]
So I have these types of and here's my answers for myself. As I'm sharing this with students.
[00:46:17.000]
So here's my student activity that I quickly created. An article. Document in Gale In Context Elementary.
[00:46:28.000]
So lots of tips and tricks to use what's there and build something for your classroom without having to start from scratch.
[00:46:36.000]
Right. Okay. Last resource we're going to touch into before we leave today, and that is in your literature resources.
[00:46:40.000]
So again, back to the product. This time I'm going to go, well, actually it's in cross search because I'm going to show you Gale literature 1st and then literature resource centers.
[00:46:53.000]
So real quick. 2 things I want to share with you. Gale literature, and you can see the 4 resources it's cross-searching through.
[00:47:01.000]
Literature Resource Center, LIT Finder, Scribner, and Twain's.
[00:47:05.000]
I'm gonna go into gale literature, so I open that up. Again, I need to know what's inside.
[00:47:10.000]
It's right here, this little box will tell me those. And I can even retrieve the title list if I, that's something I'm interested in.
[00:47:19.000]
My contextual toolbar is here. I can do a person search, a work search. So all of those tools are available.
[00:47:25.000]
But let's say I just want to do a quick search on Maya Angelou and what I want to share with you here.
[00:47:30.000]
To Similar to our in context resources and our browsed by disciplines, we've done some curating for you.
[00:47:31.000]
We have topic pages, not just like our in context, they're a little different, but I just want to share when I click into it what you're going to find.
[00:47:38.000]
So even though we're in a cross search tool that's organized all this information you can see the similarity.
[00:47:52.000]
The consistency. And here you're getting all of your lit crib, but you're also getting, your primary source and literary works where the lot of this information will come from Lit Finder.
[00:48:03.000]
Your literature criticism is probably more majority coming from Gale Literature Resource Center and you can see below.
[00:48:10.000]
It's telling you which resource it's being being pulled from but you have an image essay overview and any related topics Okay, so I wanted to point that out, but I also want to share with you Let's go back to literature.
[00:48:26.000]
So back to my product menu. This time I'm going to go into Gale Literature Resource Center.
[00:48:29.000]
And I want to share with you why you might want to highlight this resource because looking at the homepage and the things that we've changed here, we have featured works and featured topics.
[00:48:43.000]
We also have topic finder in term frequency here. So when I click into browse, I can go directly into any of these if I wanted to, but I can go into Browse Works.
[00:48:53.000]
It does give me the option to jump between. Here I'm in the works or literary works or I can go to topics.
[00:49:02.000]
If I want to filter by. A certain topic like romanticism, say. Let's go to American Romanticism.
[00:49:10.000]
It gives me a topic page. Related content. All of my content types in the center and it's all organized here on this beautiful topic page.
[00:49:23.000]
Okay, very similar again to where we were at in our other resources. If I go back. And this time I'm interested in works.
[00:49:33.000]
And maybe I had to do animal farm when I was in college. Animal Farm. Again, related topics here.
[00:49:43.000]
And then here's all the organized content, starts with our LITRe at the top.
[00:49:49.000]
Okay. So I just wanted to share those different tips and tricks within your Gale resources. With that, let me jump back to our PowerPoint to share with you where you can go for additional support.
[00:50:01.000]
That is your Gale support site.
[00:50:07.000]
So you can go to the link that I shared at the beginning. Of today's training and under the training center of course you'll find all of your access information we talked about that already mark records database icons in the training center you're going to find tip sheets.
[00:50:22.000]
We've started adding these. We've almost completed. We've only, I think, have a couple more to do, but training toolkits for all of our Gale resources.
[00:50:24.000]
And they're a great start to finish. So the basics to find help since this is an advanced session, some of you may be doing training in your own buildings.
[00:50:39.000]
You're libraries. Use our toolkits. We've curated our training materials for you all.

There's PowerPoint slide decks that you're going to find here's webinars that are going to be helpful.
[00:50:46.000]
Or you just want to, I'm sending out a newsletter every every month and I want to highlight one of the Gale resources and I want to share with folks where they can go for help.
[00:50:53.000]
Here's a here's a webinar or here's a short video tutorial, something you want to link out, we've linked it here for you and you can just take that into your newsletter if that's something you're interested in.
