[00:00:03.000]
Welcome to your Gale training for tech share. Today's topic is support media and news literacy with Gale resources from tech share. My name is Tammi. I'm a senior trainer at Gale, and I thank you so much for choosing this session today and taking time out of your busy day to spend some time with me talking about
[00:00:23.000]
How your Gale resources can support both media and news.
[00:00:27.000]
Any questions that you have. Please feel free to use that QA. Box.
[00:00:30.000]
Today's training will focus on how the Gale resources from tech share can strengthen media and news literacy skills we will share.
[00:00:39.000]
To engage students and patrons because you may have students at your higher ed coming into your higher ed libraries. Or again, students coming into our public libraries, and then patrons at your public libraries.
[00:00:51.000]
But how to engage them in media analysis, fact, checking and understanding bias, using a diverse range of authoritative articles.
[00:01:00.000]
And reputable news sources.
[00:01:03.000]
So let's get started on. Let me share the agenda first.st
[00:01:08.000]
We are going to talk about the gale resources that we're going to touch into today. We're not going to go into all of them. But we are going to go into a few. I just selected a few from the Tech Share collection, and then I want to talk to you about the curation practices.
[00:01:23.000]
And passing the crap test. So if you're not familiar with the crap test, I'll go through that. That's an acronym that we're going to use today when we talk about our Gale resources and how they measure up to passing that test. So first, st again, talking about curation practices at Gale, and then how the resources pass this test.
[00:01:46.000]
Questions and any questions comments. Please feel free to use that. QA. Box contact information I will share at the end of today's training, and you will also receive my contact information in the follow up emails.
[00:02:02.000]
So the gale resources that you have from tech share a few that we're going to talk about today. I just wanna mention. So you have a very large in contact suite of resources. The. These are the best for that classroom support. So homework help coming into your library. Home schoolers that are coming into your library for our higher Ed folks.
[00:02:23.000]
You have future educators. These are resources that they would want to get to know can also help with their coursework.
[00:02:30.000]
That is happening at the higher Ed level. And you have the core or the 3 building blocks, elementary middle school and high school. And then we are going to talk about opposing viewpoints today. This opposing viewpoints I will share is one of those resources. It is I consider it cross, curricular, like elementary middle school and high school opposing viewpoints, also looks at hot topics, social issues, controversial issues.
[00:02:55.000]
It shows both sides of the issue.
[00:02:58.000]
So opposing viewpoints is a great resource that's used at all levels. So I we, it's used at the high school level. It is used somewhat at the middle school level. Just be cautious of the content. That is there, because, like I said, there's controversial issues in the within that resource.
[00:03:14.000]
It's used.
[00:03:16.000]
At the higher Ed level. It's 1 of those resources that I hear from academics all the time that their students just love to use, and then also at our public library with our public library patrons. So it's 1 of those all around, and we say, classroom support.
[00:03:28.000]
But it is good for everyone.
[00:03:31.000]
Magazines, newspapers, and academic journals. You have a huge gale, one file collection available. We are going to touch into Gale one file today, but you also have academic one file and Gale one file news. So we're going to touch into these 2 today. And these 3 we call them the Big 3, or there are heavy hitters where you're going to find a lot of content.
[00:03:55.000]
A general one file is more of that general content used for our public library patrons.
[00:04:01.000]
Academic, one file for higher Ed, but also for any accelerated programs. In high school. And then one file news is just one of those all around resources that just looks at those news collections. So one file anything with one file in the title just.
[00:04:16.000]
Always remember that that is your periodical content, and you have a huge collection of one file products. I did not list them all here, because there's just too many.
[00:04:25.000]
Another. One file that really supports faculty and staff and professional development is educators complete, great for teachers or future educators.
[00:04:38.000]
You do have another periodical I wanted to point out, and that is Gale, one file and 4 a academic. Oh, this is the periodical content. Here is Spanish and Portuguese, so these are periodicals coming from.
[00:04:52.000]
Spain. You'll find mainly Spanish periodicals, but we do have some Portuguese periodicals available. Middle schoolers on up utilize this resource.
[00:05:01.000]
And then for company and industry research, Gale business insights. There's fantastic company profiles within this resource.
[00:05:09.000]
So when you're talking about media news literacy, these are some resources to consider.
[00:05:15.000]
Now I wanna talk to you about Gale's content curation practice. And this.
[00:05:19.000]
E, or this link here is available. I'm gonna put it in the chat real quick for you all.
[00:05:27.000]
Oh, I think I close it up so that Link is talks to you about. It's a page that.
[00:05:33.000]
Covers.
[00:05:34.000]
How are.
[00:05:38.000]
What we do, how we do, what we do. So our role, how we select our content, diversity and inclusion, and those types of topics. When we talk about the curation practices at Gale.
[00:05:50.000]
Let me grab this real quick for you.
[00:06:02.000]
There we go, having a little bit of tech difficulties there. Okay, so I'm gonna post that in the chat, those that are watching.
[00:06:08.000]
The recording the link is there.
[00:06:10.000]
So we at Gale. We're publisher.
[00:06:14.000]
We, we publish our own content, but we also selectable.
[00:06:18.000]
Publishers to partner with.
[00:06:19.000]
To provide reliable, authoritative peer, reviewed content.
[00:06:24.000]
We also at Gale the content our content users depend on us to.
[00:06:29.000]
Provide accurate, authoritative. Those peer review journals. And they rely on a global. We rely on a global network of subject matter. Experts or specialists.
[00:06:41.000]
Professionals and educators to create content aligned to both national and state curriculum standards. Our content is reviews.
[00:06:51.000]
And it's reviewed by subject matter. Experts for accuracy.
[00:06:54.000]
We have reading and skill levels. We look at bias and diversity and our subject matter. Experts include teachers. They may include scholars or librarians, historians, our personal, our own gale editors.
[00:07:11.000]
And Historical Societies. We have also Advisory Council Member members.
[00:07:17.000]
From various races and ethnicities.
[00:07:19.000]
Who have extensive knowledge in a particular area of subject. So when I talk about our experts, there's quite a few that we have that help us.
[00:07:29.000]
Curate and provide this content that we have available. And we update our databases. So we're being very mindful of current events and changes in curriculum and important topics and people of notes. So if you'd like to learn more about our process,
[00:07:45.000]
Or how we select our content when we talk about supporting news and media literacy. This is a great resource or great page to take a look at, because you're going to find a lot of detailed information.
[00:07:57.000]
And how we do what we do.
[00:08:00.000]
All right. Now, let's jump into.
[00:08:03.000]
Passing the crap test. So we have. You can see the acronym here on the left hand side. And this is a test that I know a lot of schools will use. It's also one to consider when you're talking to your home school or your.
[00:08:20.000]
Students coming in for homework help, or you want to pull it into your public library, because this is one that will definitely draw attention, but also an important skill for students to learn. They're not learning it at.
[00:08:32.000]
At the K 12 level. They definitely need to know about it at the higher Ed level. And our public libraries support everyone. So that's why I wanted to share this with you all today, because maybe it's something you can utilize in your library. And this is how Gale passes this.
[00:08:50.000]
Test.
[00:08:51.000]
You have. The 1st one is C, and that's for currency. This is a timelessness of information. When when was the information published or posted? Was it revised or updated? Does your topic require current information, or will older sources work as well.
[00:09:07.000]
So, Gale, all Gale content is cited with date.
[00:09:11.000]
Published or copyrighted. So let me go into our 1st resource. So we're gonna go back and forth between the Powerpoint.
[00:09:17.000]
And the resources, and the one we're going to go into first.st
[00:09:22.000]
Is, we're gonna start with Gale and context, elementary.
[00:09:32.000]
So Gale In, context elementary. I want to point out a few things to you. We're going to go right into the content. And you can do. Of course, a basic search. I'm going to use our topic tree to find this information. So under literature, we have topic pages that support.
[00:09:48.000]
You we look at the
[00:09:51.000]
We look at usage, what's trending? We also look at curriculum standards. And this topic I'm going to share with you. We also have topic pages on topics like fact or opinion.
[00:10:02.000]
So when students.
[00:10:03.000]
It's a really great tool to use these topic pages because they are curated collections of information.
[00:10:10.000]
So here we have one about fact or opinion, and building students on that information. And what's really great, too, is when I am looking at all of the content as I look below. I have book articles, books, magazines, newspapers, and related topics at the very bottom.
[00:10:32.000]
If I click into. And let's say, let's go into book articles.
[00:10:37.000]
I will see if you can see on the to the right of these. The articles themselves. I can see the dates listed.
[00:10:46.000]
So right away I can see I have something from 2024. But these book articles some of them are a couple of years old, and then we have some that are even older. Giraffe. Are there? So talking about Factor opinion.
[00:10:59.000]
We bring in a lot of great content for our students, and this really helps students where they can discern occur if a current article will support what they are doing, or will, in older document from, say, a book as well.
[00:11:14.000]
With fact and opinion. An older book.
[00:11:17.000]
Article may work just as well, but if we wanted to, maybe look at publication dates in a different way. So let's say I'm opening up.
[00:11:26.000]
Magazines. Here you can see the magazine articles, the date here to the right. So let me go into.
[00:11:34.000]
Hypothamas, fact, file.
[00:11:36.000]
Now, what we've done at the article level is, I can see the copyright. So again, this supports.
[00:11:43.000]
Our currency.
[00:11:44.000]
Copyright is 2024. But what we've done for elementary is the publication is here underneath article. So this little information, icon.
[00:11:54.000]
We've hidden it there. We kept it nice and simple for students, because this is this is for kindergarten through 5th graders.
[00:12:01.000]
We kept the the information clean and right to the point. This is something that actually our teachers were asking for. They. It's important to have that publication information, but they didn't necessarily want it right here as soon as students landed into an article. So we have it still available. It's just underneath this article.
[00:12:19.000]
Information, icon, or that little information button. So when you're teaching.
[00:12:24.000]
News, literacy, media literacy. This is information that's good to know, to point that out to students, because if they're looking for a date, then that is where they would find it in Gale In context, elementary.
[00:12:38.000]
So looking for that publication. Date is in both the summary results, or like I said, the publication here, and then also.
[00:12:47.000]
We have a copyright. Also, I want to point out. Of course you'll find it in the citation.
[00:12:52.000]
So here I find the date right in that citation.
[00:12:56.000]
So a great many lesson for our younger users is finding the date, and then understanding is, let's see,
[00:13:04.000]
Discussions with students around if an older document would apply so for fact, an opinion, probably, or even just information on animals, is probably okay. But if I were looking at endangered animals, I may want more recent content. So I may want to look for those more recent within the last year documents that I have available.
[00:13:25.000]
But that's a great way for students to find that content again. It's right here on all of your documents, all of our content. You'll find that article information.
[00:13:35.000]
Right there underneath the information, Icon, along with the citation. You'll find it there, too.
[00:13:41.000]
All right, let me go into another resource, and I already have it open, and we're going to go into Gale In Context: middle school, because where you find the date. Here.
[00:13:49.000]
Is a little different.
[00:13:51.000]
If I open up this essay, overview.
[00:13:54.000]
Or topic overview.
[00:13:56.000]
It's already displayed here, right on.
[00:13:59.000]
The at the top of the article. So as this resource it ages up the resource to middle school level, we don't have to put it underneath an information. Icon. We can put it right on the page for our middle school students, and you're going to find that date again right at the top with the publication information.
[00:14:17.000]
All right. Let's go back to our point.
[00:14:25.000]
And the next one is.
[00:14:27.000]
R. For relevance the importance of the information for your needs. Does the information relate to your topic, or answer your question?
[00:14:35.000]
Who is in? Who is the intended audience an appropriate level. So topic pages. We talked a little bit about those already. They take you to relevant content, or in the audience defined by resource or content level. So let me share that with you. So we are going to go into middle school.
[00:14:57.000]
Where we were.
[00:15:00.000]
And I'm gonna go start here.
[00:15:02.000]
On the home page. So you can see on the homepage. We have topics of interest. So we're talking about relevance. The importance of the information for your needs.
[00:15:11.000]
And you can see these subject categories that we have. So we have the ability to browse through the topics, or I can browse through.
[00:15:19.000]
All of the topic pages.
[00:15:20.000]
At once by clicking on browse all topics.
[00:15:25.000]
And topic pages again, relevant content on subjects all content.
[00:15:30.000]
Within the topic page is dedicated to that specific topic.
[00:15:35.000]
So we have topic pages, media literacy. So let me pull that one up for you.
[00:15:40.000]
So, again supporting this topic with content, along with.
[00:15:44.000]
All of the features or tools available within the resources.
[00:15:49.000]
So media literacy.
[00:15:52.000]
This is a topic. The 1st we start our topic is with an image and topic overview, and you can see all of the other content we have available on the page. We're gonna start here, though.
[00:16:03.000]
And these topic overviews. There, it's informative. These are fact based.
[00:16:09.000]
So most of the time it will have different lexile measures, as you can see here.
[00:16:13.000]
9, 80 to 780. Again, is this relevant? Is this an appropriate level? I have the ability, because we published a lot of our own content. At Gale we are able to change.
[00:16:24.000]
The.
[00:16:25.000]
Wording to support a lower lexile measure or higher lexile measure. So you're gonna find that on our topic overviews, we can see the document type. Right here is a topic overview. And again, this has been published.
[00:16:38.000]
By Gale.
[00:16:39.000]
So. The reason why we we are able to do that again is because we do publish our own content.
[00:16:45.000]
So you're going to see that on almost all of our topic overviews, you'll find that available.
[00:16:52.000]
Something else I want to share with you.
[00:16:54.000]
Is, we have some filter options. So I'm gonna go into.
[00:17:02.000]
Actually, let's go to all content types. And I can see all of my content types here.
[00:17:08.000]
In the information bar here at the top. It talks about our content. But I want to. Maybe I want to filter by. I want to filter by lexile measure. I have the option to filter my results.
[00:17:19.000]
I can filter by lexile measure.
[00:17:23.000]
Or.
[00:17:25.000]
Content, level.
[00:17:27.000]
Okay. So both are available. I will share with you.
[00:17:30.000]
You can see the lexile as it relates to the content level. So we have 5 content levels in your in context, resources.
[00:17:36.000]
You'll find it also in one, the lexile measure in one file resources. But again, in our, in context of resources, you have all 5 levels.
[00:17:45.000]
Level 3 is generally middle school elementary above that high school. All the way to undergrad.
[00:17:52.000]
So this is a great way to find.
[00:17:55.000]
That relevant content at your reading level.
[00:17:58.000]
Alright, utilizing those topic pages. Now let's go back.
[00:18:12.000]
The next one is authority, the source of the information. Who's the author, the publisher, the source, the sponsor.
[00:18:19.000]
What are the author's credentials or organizational affiliations? Is the author to write on this topic.
[00:18:25.000]
Are there any contact information? So note that all Gale Content will provide author details.
[00:18:32.000]
But in opposing viewpoints we also have these viewpoint essays. So I want to share a little bit more about those, because they're a little bit different.
[00:18:40.000]
And so they want it.
[00:18:41.000]
Build your knowledge with that information.
[00:18:46.000]
So let's go back to.
[00:18:49.000]
And I do have.
[00:18:51.000]
Closing viewpoints open here.
[00:18:54.000]
Well, actually, let's start with.
[00:18:56.000]
I wanna I don't wanna start. I'm gonna end with the viewpoint essays. We're actually gonna start in one file news.
[00:19:02.000]
And I'm gonna do a basic search on fees. Let's stick with that topic.
[00:19:12.000]
Okay.
[00:19:13.000]
So it pulls back all of my content, doing just a basic search right? Self explanatory.
[00:19:18.000]
But maybe I'm looking for an.
[00:19:20.000]
I I'm interested in looking at these articles. I'm going to see here, where I have a byline.
[00:19:27.000]
So again, we're looking for authority. The source of the information.
[00:19:31.000]
We're on the 1st letter. A, so by line is here, but sometimes you'll see that there is not a byline available. Well, we can see the author.
[00:19:42.000]
At the top. But there might be more than one author. I'm gonna show this. I want to show this example to you.
[00:19:50.000]
So I'm gonna search within. There's a certain article I'm going to use for this.
[00:20:03.000]
Okay. So here I see.
[00:20:05.000]
A bit of information in the byline. I can. I can see Tanya listed here, but when I click into it what I also want to share with you is, we have this byline at the top.
[00:20:16.000]
We have the source. But if I scroll down.
[00:20:20.000]
We may have more than one.
[00:20:24.000]
Author. So you're going to see that here sometimes towards the bottom of the article you'll have if if you don't see a byline, you'll see that there might be additional authors, and that's why we have. We have it listed that way, so it will be listed towards the bottom. So something to note as you're teaching or talking to your patrons about new media literacy. That those bylines.
[00:20:48.000]
There's more. If there's more than one author, it's at the bottom where 2 authors will be listed in that no area.
[00:20:55.000]
Alright. Let's go back into.
[00:20:57.000]
Opposing viewpoints. This time.
[00:20:59.000]
Now, with the posing viewpoints, we are actually going to go into the National Debate topic.
[00:21:05.000]
For this year.
[00:21:06.000]
So 2425.
[00:21:08.000]
It is intellectual property, rights.
[00:21:11.000]
And I want to talk to you about featured viewpoints and viewpoints and the difference between the 2 featured viewpoints. This is hand selected information by our content. Editors.
[00:21:21.000]
It. We look at both sides of the issue. It's not one or the other. So this is a great starting point for students as they're doing. Their research is to take a look in the the featured viewpoints. Now, the viewpoints.
[00:21:32.000]
Contain.
[00:21:33.000]
Our viewpoint essays is a document type.
[00:21:36.000]
As you can see here.
[00:21:38.000]
And our viewpoint essays provide the users with background on the author. So an opposing viewpoints we want to show all sides of the topic.
[00:21:47.000]
Showing a whole view of the article. We really want those differing opinions.
[00:21:52.000]
So if I select this 1st one here.
[00:21:55.000]
So what we've done. So, rather than asking our content editors to write 2 articles.
[00:22:00.000]
One that is for the topic, and one that is maybe against it there. So for and against, or pro and con, that's not really the real world. We don't always see that we only see one article. So what we've done is we've gone out, and we've received permission to republish the content from people that have published and are the subject matter experts. We add this to the commentary at the top of the viewpoint essays, as you can see here.
[00:22:25.000]
So it provides you with information, provides our users with information on the author.
[00:22:31.000]
And then we also have to develop those critical thinking skills. We have some questions to consider. So I get that article commentary at the top.
[00:22:40.000]
Which talks a little bit about the author, gives their background information.
[00:22:45.000]
We have some questions, and then it goes right into that article.
[00:22:51.000]
So another one another way to find or show that authority, that source of information, just one of those.
[00:22:58.000]
All the rest are pretty, you know, straightforward. But I wanted we wanted to point out some of these that are different or a little bit unique.
[00:23:06.000]
Alright! Let's talk about the next.
[00:23:08.000]
A, in.
[00:23:11.000]
The series that we have here within our test.
[00:23:14.000]
And that is.
[00:23:17.000]
Accuracy.
[00:23:19.000]
So we were in authority, the reliability, the truthfulness, and the correctness of the content. Where does the information come from?
[00:23:25.000]
I shared a lot of that in the in our Powerpoint slide. I'm talking about our curation, but we're in the resource. How can users. Discern where that information is coming from. What's.
[00:23:38.000]
You know the supported? By what evidence has the information been reviewed or referred.
[00:23:42.000]
Is there? Does there?
[00:23:45.000]
Does a language or tone seem unbiased and free of emotion?
[00:23:49.000]
I'm sure you're not referred can filter results by peer reviewed with resources, with academic journals. So I'm gonna show you how to use our advanced search.
[00:23:59.000]
And filter by our peer, reviewed articles.
[00:24:02.000]
From our academic journals.
[00:24:04.000]
Some content provides its own bibliography also.
[00:24:08.000]
So.
[00:24:09.000]
Let's go into for accuracy. We're gonna start with another resource. This time. We are going to go into Gale. One file.
[00:24:20.000]
Trying to touch into a variety of resources.
[00:24:25.000]
Now, with our in context resources, as you saw, we had the topic overview that I went into on bees for middle school and those topic overviews. They're not trying to sway your opinion. As I mentioned, they just simply provide the user with an overview of the topic, and the facts.
[00:24:41.000]
So.
[00:24:42.000]
When you talk about reliability, truthfulness of the content. For that accuracy that's the topic. Overviews are great for that.
[00:24:50.000]
Now in Gale, general, one file, we're going to do a basic search.
[00:24:54.000]
On greenhouse gases.
[00:25:04.000]
And I want to filter by document type. So over here to the right, we have document types.
[00:25:10.000]
Where.
[00:25:12.000]
We have items like.
[00:25:16.000]
Statistical data, statistical table financial reports. So this type of information being able to filter by that on the right hand side is going to help your users.
[00:25:26.000]
With the accuracy, the reliability. Are they looking for? What are they looking for? Something else that they're looking for? Is maybe Peer reviewed.
[00:25:35.000]
So we have statistical information or financial reports that type. So beyond the article and brief article, information.
[00:25:44.000]
Or letters to the editor. We're looking at that statistical information.
[00:25:49.000]
Where.
[00:25:50.000]
When we're looking for Peer reviewed, I'm actually going to go into.
[00:25:55.000]
Back into opposing viewpoints.
[00:25:59.000]
And we're going to go into advanced search directly to advanced search. So I want to show you a filter here that you have.
[00:26:06.000]
In advance, search.
[00:26:08.000]
You have the ability to filter, to peer review journals.
[00:26:13.000]
Okay, so peer review journals, we have more information on that.
[00:26:17.000]
What it's going to do. These search limiters.
[00:26:21.000]
Now I've set it to peer review journals. Maybe I want to. Also, let's stick with greenhouse gases.
[00:26:32.000]
And then.
[00:26:34.000]
Maybe I want to drill down a little bit further, because we I want something just from the last couple of years. So I've selected peer review journals, but I also want to filter to.
[00:26:44.000]
Let's do.
[00:26:46.000]
January of.
[00:26:48.000]
Just a couple years ago. Let's go back to 2020.
[00:26:51.000]
Now I'm going to click search. So again.
[00:26:54.000]
I've put in a publication date.
[00:26:56.000]
I've selected peer review journals.
[00:26:58.000]
And I've put in the term greenhouse gases.
[00:27:01.000]
I'm going to click, search.
[00:27:04.000]
And it pulls back all of my.
[00:27:06.000]
Peer review journals, and these are coming from our academic journals related on this topic.
[00:27:11.000]
Of greenhouse gases.
[00:27:13.000]
With a certain date range.
[00:27:17.000]
Again supporting that.
[00:27:20.000]
That accuracy of information. And again, our content is being.
[00:27:24.000]
Updated every day throughout the day. Something else I can do is I can sort by. I want to sort by.
[00:27:31.000]
The newest.
[00:27:32.000]
I can do that too.
[00:27:37.000]
You can see these just July 2624.
[00:27:40.000]
So.
[00:27:41.000]
Just this.
[00:27:42.000]
Last just last week, just last week, Friday and which is great cause academic journals. Sometimes we see those come out quarterly.
[00:27:50.000]
Or sometimes annually. So we have some great peer reviewed information there on greenhouse gases.
[00:27:56.000]
Alright! Let's go to our last one.
[00:28:00.000]
Before we wrap our session today.
[00:28:03.000]
And the last one is purpose.
[00:28:07.000]
So the reason? What's the reason this information exists? What is the purpose of the information? Is it to inform, teach, or persuade? Does the point of view, appear objective and impartial.
[00:28:19.000]
Are there political, religious, institutional, or personal biases?
[00:28:23.000]
So you can filter to viewpoint essays, editorials, and etc, to show content with a point of view.
[00:28:30.000]
Let me show you how to do that.
[00:28:32.000]
So this time we are going to go back into.
[00:28:36.000]
General one file.
[00:28:43.000]
And we're gonna stay on that greenhouse gases.
[00:28:47.000]
And remember how I shared with you.
[00:28:51.000]
And you can go in a diff a couple different ways. I can go right to greenhouse.
[00:28:55.000]
Gases.
[00:28:58.000]
Or I could have used advanced search.
[00:29:00.000]
But if I go in this way, this is where I can filter to certain document types, I can do that in advance. Search also, either way works.
[00:29:08.000]
It just depends on what you're looking for. So again, maybe I'm looking for a certain point of view.
[00:29:14.000]
I can look at document type, and I can select. Maybe I want interviews, letters to the editors. I want editorials.
[00:29:22.000]
Here are my viewpoint essays, and I can multi select these.
[00:29:28.000]
As I look down.
[00:29:31.000]
I could. Maybe I want a discussion. So I'm looking for point of view.
[00:29:36.000]
Information.
[00:29:38.000]
I can apply that, and it'll filter down all of my content at once. Magazines, academic journals, and news.
[00:29:45.000]
Okay. Another thing with our news. Our newspapers have sections.
[00:29:49.000]
So I might want that opinion and editorial section.
[00:29:53.000]
So if I'm looking for a point of view, that might be where I want to go. Also.
[00:29:58.000]
Or again, I can filter even further with document type.
[00:30:04.000]
Alright!
[00:30:06.000]
Let me go back to my Powerpoint, and just say Thank you again for your time today, I hope. Let me know if you have any questions, but where you can go for additional support.

[00:32:33.000]
But that wraps our session for the day. Have a great rest of your day. Everyone.
Welcome to your Gale training for tech share. Today's topic is support media and news literacy with Gale resources from tech share. My name is Tammi. I'm a senior trainer at Gale, and I thank you so much for choosing this session today and taking time out of your busy day to spend some time with me talking about
[00:00:23.000]
How your Gale resources can support both media and news.
[00:00:27.000]
Any questions that you have. Please feel free to use that QA. Box.
[00:00:30.000]
Today's training will focus on how the Gale resources from tech share can strengthen media and news literacy skills we will share.
[00:00:39.000]
To engage students and patrons because you may have students at your higher ed coming into your higher ed libraries. Or again, students coming into our public libraries, and then patrons at your public libraries.
[00:00:51.000]
But how to engage them in media analysis, fact, checking and understanding bias, using a diverse range of authoritative articles.
[00:01:00.000]
And reputable news sources.
[00:01:03.000]
So let's get started on. Let me share the agenda first.st
[00:01:08.000]
We are going to talk about the gale resources that we're going to touch into today. We're not going to go into all of them. But we are going to go into a few. I just selected a few from the Tech Share collection, and then I want to talk to you about the curation practices.
[00:01:23.000]
And passing the crap test. So if you're not familiar with the crap test, I'll go through that. That's an acronym that we're going to use today when we talk about our Gale resources and how they measure up to passing that test. So first, st again, talking about curation practices at Gale, and then how the resources pass this test.
[00:01:46.000]
Questions and any questions comments. Please feel free to use that. QA. Box contact information I will share at the end of today's training, and you will also receive my contact information in the follow up emails.
[00:02:02.000]
So the gale resources that you have from tech share a few that we're going to talk about today. I just wanna mention. So you have a very large in contact suite of resources. The. These are the best for that classroom support. So homework help coming into your library. Home schoolers that are coming into your library for our higher Ed folks.
[00:02:23.000]
You have future educators. These are resources that they would want to get to know can also help with their coursework.
[00:02:30.000]
That is happening at the higher Ed level. And you have the core or the 3 building blocks, elementary middle school and high school. And then we are going to talk about opposing viewpoints today. This opposing viewpoints I will share is one of those resources. It is I consider it cross, curricular, like elementary middle school and high school opposing viewpoints, also looks at hot topics, social issues, controversial issues.
[00:02:55.000]
It shows both sides of the issue.
[00:02:58.000]
So opposing viewpoints is a great resource that's used at all levels. So I we, it's used at the high school level. It is used somewhat at the middle school level. Just be cautious of the content. That is there, because, like I said, there's controversial issues in the within that resource.
[00:03:14.000]
It's used.
[00:03:16.000]
At the higher Ed level. It's 1 of those resources that I hear from academics all the time that their students just love to use, and then also at our public library with our public library patrons. So it's 1 of those all around, and we say, classroom support.
[00:03:28.000]
But it is good for everyone.
[00:03:31.000]
Magazines, newspapers, and academic journals. You have a huge gale, one file collection available. We are going to touch into Gale one file today, but you also have academic one file and Gale one file news. So we're going to touch into these 2 today. And these 3 we call them the Big 3, or there are heavy hitters where you're going to find a lot of content.
[00:03:55.000]
A general one file is more of that general content used for our public library patrons.
[00:04:01.000]
Academic, one file for higher Ed, but also for any accelerated programs. In high school. And then one file news is just one of those all around resources that just looks at those news collections. So one file anything with one file in the title just.
[00:04:16.000]
Always remember that that is your periodical content, and you have a huge collection of one file products. I did not list them all here, because there's just too many.
[00:04:25.000]
Another. One file that really supports faculty and staff and professional development is educators complete, great for teachers or future educators.
[00:04:38.000]
You do have another periodical I wanted to point out, and that is Gale, one file and 4 a academic. Oh, this is the periodical content. Here is Spanish and Portuguese, so these are periodicals coming from.
[00:04:52.000]
Spain. You'll find mainly Spanish periodicals, but we do have some Portuguese periodicals available. Middle schoolers on up utilize this resource.
[00:05:01.000]
And then for company and industry research, Gale business insights. There's fantastic company profiles within this resource.
[00:05:09.000]
So when you're talking about media news literacy, these are some resources to consider.
[00:05:15.000]
Now I wanna talk to you about Gale's content curation practice. And this.
[00:05:19.000]
E, or this link here is available. I'm gonna put it in the chat real quick for you all.
[00:05:27.000]
Oh, I think I close it up so that Link is talks to you about. It's a page that.
[00:05:33.000]
Covers.
[00:05:34.000]
How are.
[00:05:38.000]
What we do, how we do, what we do. So our role, how we select our content, diversity and inclusion, and those types of topics. When we talk about the curation practices at Gale.
[00:05:50.000]
Let me grab this real quick for you.
[00:06:02.000]
There we go, having a little bit of tech difficulties there. Okay, so I'm gonna post that in the chat, those that are watching.
[00:06:08.000]
The recording the link is there.
[00:06:10.000]
So we at Gale. We're publisher.
[00:06:14.000]
We, we publish our own content, but we also selectable.
[00:06:18.000]
Publishers to partner with.
[00:06:19.000]
To provide reliable, authoritative peer, reviewed content.
[00:06:24.000]
We also at Gale the content our content users depend on us to.
[00:06:29.000]
Provide accurate, authoritative. Those peer review journals. And they rely on a global. We rely on a global network of subject matter. Experts or specialists.
[00:06:41.000]
Professionals and educators to create content aligned to both national and state curriculum standards. Our content is reviews.
[00:06:51.000]
And it's reviewed by subject matter. Experts for accuracy.
[00:06:54.000]
We have reading and skill levels. We look at bias and diversity and our subject matter. Experts include teachers. They may include scholars or librarians, historians, our personal, our own gale editors.
[00:07:11.000]
And Historical Societies. We have also Advisory Council Member members.
[00:07:17.000]
From various races and ethnicities.
[00:07:19.000]
Who have extensive knowledge in a particular area of subject. So when I talk about our experts, there's quite a few that we have that help us.
[00:07:29.000]
Curate and provide this content that we have available. And we update our databases. So we're being very mindful of current events and changes in curriculum and important topics and people of notes. So if you'd like to learn more about our process,
[00:07:45.000]
Or how we select our content when we talk about supporting news and media literacy. This is a great resource or great page to take a look at, because you're going to find a lot of detailed information.
[00:07:57.000]
And how we do what we do.
[00:08:00.000]
All right. Now, let's jump into.
[00:08:03.000]
Passing the crap test. So we have. You can see the acronym here on the left hand side. And this is a test that I know a lot of schools will use. It's also one to consider when you're talking to your home school or your.
[00:08:20.000]
Students coming in for homework help, or you want to pull it into your public library, because this is one that will definitely draw attention, but also an important skill for students to learn. They're not learning it at.
[00:08:32.000]
At the K 12 level. They definitely need to know about it at the higher Ed level. And our public libraries support everyone. So that's why I wanted to share this with you all today, because maybe it's something you can utilize in your library. And this is how Gale passes this.
[00:08:50.000]
Test.
[00:08:51.000]
You have. The 1st one is C, and that's for currency. This is a timelessness of information. When when was the information published or posted? Was it revised or updated? Does your topic require current information, or will older sources work as well.
[00:09:07.000]
So, Gale, all Gale content is cited with date.
[00:09:11.000]
Published or copyrighted. So let me go into our 1st resource. So we're gonna go back and forth between the Powerpoint.
[00:09:17.000]
And the resources, and the one we're going to go into first.st
[00:09:22.000]
Is, we're gonna start with Gale and context, elementary.
[00:09:32.000]
So Gale In, context elementary. I want to point out a few things to you. We're going to go right into the content. And you can do. Of course, a basic search. I'm going to use our topic tree to find this information. So under literature, we have topic pages that support.
[00:09:48.000]
You we look at the
[00:09:51.000]
We look at usage, what's trending? We also look at curriculum standards. And this topic I'm going to share with you. We also have topic pages on topics like fact or opinion.
[00:10:02.000]
So when students.
[00:10:03.000]
It's a really great tool to use these topic pages because they are curated collections of information.
[00:10:10.000]
So here we have one about fact or opinion, and building students on that information. And what's really great, too, is when I am looking at all of the content as I look below. I have book articles, books, magazines, newspapers, and related topics at the very bottom.
[00:10:32.000]
If I click into. And let's say, let's go into book articles.
[00:10:37.000]
I will see if you can see on the to the right of these. The articles themselves. I can see the dates listed.
[00:10:46.000]
So right away I can see I have something from 2024. But these book articles some of them are a couple of years old, and then we have some that are even older. Giraffe. Are there? So talking about Factor opinion.
[00:10:59.000]
We bring in a lot of great content for our students, and this really helps students where they can discern occur if a current article will support what they are doing, or will, in older document from, say, a book as well.
[00:11:14.000]
With fact and opinion. An older book.
[00:11:17.000]
Article may work just as well, but if we wanted to, maybe look at publication dates in a different way. So let's say I'm opening up.
[00:11:26.000]
Magazines. Here you can see the magazine articles, the date here to the right. So let me go into.
[00:11:34.000]
Hypothamas, fact, file.
[00:11:36.000]
Now, what we've done at the article level is, I can see the copyright. So again, this supports.
[00:11:43.000]
Our currency.
[00:11:44.000]
Copyright is 2024. But what we've done for elementary is the publication is here underneath article. So this little information, icon.
[00:11:54.000]
We've hidden it there. We kept it nice and simple for students, because this is this is for kindergarten through 5th graders.
[00:12:01.000]
We kept the the information clean and right to the point. This is something that actually our teachers were asking for. They. It's important to have that publication information, but they didn't necessarily want it right here as soon as students landed into an article. So we have it still available. It's just underneath this article.
[00:12:19.000]
Information, icon, or that little information button. So when you're teaching.
[00:12:24.000]
News, literacy, media literacy. This is information that's good to know, to point that out to students, because if they're looking for a date, then that is where they would find it in Gale In context, elementary.
[00:12:38.000]
So looking for that publication. Date is in both the summary results, or like I said, the publication here, and then also.
[00:12:47.000]
We have a copyright. Also, I want to point out. Of course you'll find it in the citation.
[00:12:52.000]
So here I find the date right in that citation.
[00:12:56.000]
So a great many lesson for our younger users is finding the date, and then understanding is, let's see,
[00:13:04.000]
Discussions with students around if an older document would apply so for fact, an opinion, probably, or even just information on animals, is probably okay. But if I were looking at endangered animals, I may want more recent content. So I may want to look for those more recent within the last year documents that I have available.
[00:13:25.000]
But that's a great way for students to find that content again. It's right here on all of your documents, all of our content. You'll find that article information.
[00:13:35.000]
Right there underneath the information, Icon, along with the citation. You'll find it there, too.
[00:13:41.000]
All right, let me go into another resource, and I already have it open, and we're going to go into Gale In Context: middle school, because where you find the date. Here.
[00:13:49.000]
Is a little different.
[00:13:51.000]
If I open up this essay, overview.
[00:13:54.000]
Or topic overview.
[00:13:56.000]
It's already displayed here, right on.
[00:13:59.000]
The at the top of the article. So as this resource it ages up the resource to middle school level, we don't have to put it underneath an information. Icon. We can put it right on the page for our middle school students, and you're going to find that date again right at the top with the publication information.
[00:14:17.000]
All right. Let's go back to our point.
[00:14:25.000]
And the next one is.
[00:14:27.000]
R. For relevance the importance of the information for your needs. Does the information relate to your topic, or answer your question?
[00:14:35.000]
Who is in? Who is the intended audience an appropriate level. So topic pages. We talked a little bit about those already. They take you to relevant content, or in the audience defined by resource or content level. So let me share that with you. So we are going to go into middle school.
[00:14:57.000]
Where we were.
[00:15:00.000]
And I'm gonna go start here.
[00:15:02.000]
On the home page. So you can see on the homepage. We have topics of interest. So we're talking about relevance. The importance of the information for your needs.
[00:15:11.000]
And you can see these subject categories that we have. So we have the ability to browse through the topics, or I can browse through.
[00:15:19.000]
All of the topic pages.
[00:15:20.000]
At once by clicking on browse all topics.
[00:15:25.000]
And topic pages again, relevant content on subjects all content.
[00:15:30.000]
Within the topic page is dedicated to that specific topic.
[00:15:35.000]
So we have topic pages, media literacy. So let me pull that one up for you.
[00:15:40.000]
So, again supporting this topic with content, along with.
[00:15:44.000]
All of the features or tools available within the resources.
[00:15:49.000]
So media literacy.
[00:15:52.000]
This is a topic. The 1st we start our topic is with an image and topic overview, and you can see all of the other content we have available on the page. We're gonna start here, though.
[00:16:03.000]
And these topic overviews. There, it's informative. These are fact based.
[00:16:09.000]
So most of the time it will have different lexile measures, as you can see here.
[00:16:13.000]
9, 80 to 780. Again, is this relevant? Is this an appropriate level? I have the ability, because we published a lot of our own content. At Gale we are able to change.
[00:16:24.000]
The.
[00:16:25.000]
Wording to support a lower lexile measure or higher lexile measure. So you're gonna find that on our topic overviews, we can see the document type. Right here is a topic overview. And again, this has been published.
[00:16:38.000]
By Gale.
[00:16:39.000]
So. The reason why we we are able to do that again is because we do publish our own content.
[00:16:45.000]
So you're going to see that on almost all of our topic overviews, you'll find that available.
[00:16:52.000]
Something else I want to share with you.
[00:16:54.000]
Is, we have some filter options. So I'm gonna go into.
[00:17:02.000]
Actually, let's go to all content types. And I can see all of my content types here.
[00:17:08.000]
In the information bar here at the top. It talks about our content. But I want to. Maybe I want to filter by. I want to filter by lexile measure. I have the option to filter my results.
[00:17:19.000]
I can filter by lexile measure.
[00:17:23.000]
Or.
[00:17:25.000]
Content, level.
[00:17:27.000]
Okay. So both are available. I will share with you.
[00:17:30.000]
You can see the lexile as it relates to the content level. So we have 5 content levels in your in context, resources.
[00:17:36.000]
You'll find it also in one, the lexile measure in one file resources. But again, in our, in context of resources, you have all 5 levels.
[00:17:45.000]
Level 3 is generally middle school elementary above that high school. All the way to undergrad.
[00:17:52.000]
So this is a great way to find.
[00:17:55.000]
That relevant content at your reading level.
[00:17:58.000]
Alright, utilizing those topic pages. Now let's go back.
[00:18:12.000]
The next one is authority, the source of the information. Who's the author, the publisher, the source, the sponsor.
[00:18:19.000]
What are the author's credentials or organizational affiliations? Is the author to write on this topic.
[00:18:25.000]
Are there any contact information? So note that all Gale Content will provide author details.
[00:18:32.000]
But in opposing viewpoints we also have these viewpoint essays. So I want to share a little bit more about those, because they're a little bit different.
[00:18:40.000]
And so they want it.
[00:18:41.000]
Build your knowledge with that information.
[00:18:46.000]
So let's go back to.
[00:18:49.000]
And I do have.
[00:18:51.000]
Closing viewpoints open here.
[00:18:54.000]
Well, actually, let's start with.
[00:18:56.000]
I wanna I don't wanna start. I'm gonna end with the viewpoint essays. We're actually gonna start in one file news.
[00:19:02.000]
And I'm gonna do a basic search on fees. Let's stick with that topic.
[00:19:12.000]
Okay.
[00:19:13.000]
So it pulls back all of my content, doing just a basic search right? Self explanatory.
[00:19:18.000]
But maybe I'm looking for an.
[00:19:20.000]
I I'm interested in looking at these articles. I'm going to see here, where I have a byline.
[00:19:27.000]
So again, we're looking for authority. The source of the information.
[00:19:31.000]
We're on the 1st letter. A, so by line is here, but sometimes you'll see that there is not a byline available. Well, we can see the author.
[00:19:42.000]
At the top. But there might be more than one author. I'm gonna show this. I want to show this example to you.
[00:19:50.000]
So I'm gonna search within. There's a certain article I'm going to use for this.
[00:20:03.000]
Okay. So here I see.
[00:20:05.000]
A bit of information in the byline. I can. I can see Tanya listed here, but when I click into it what I also want to share with you is, we have this byline at the top.
[00:20:16.000]
We have the source. But if I scroll down.
[00:20:20.000]
We may have more than one.
[00:20:24.000]
Author. So you're going to see that here sometimes towards the bottom of the article you'll have if if you don't see a byline, you'll see that there might be additional authors, and that's why we have. We have it listed that way, so it will be listed towards the bottom. So something to note as you're teaching or talking to your patrons about new media literacy. That those bylines.
[00:20:48.000]
There's more. If there's more than one author, it's at the bottom where 2 authors will be listed in that no area.
[00:20:55.000]
Alright. Let's go back into.
[00:20:57.000]
Opposing viewpoints. This time.
[00:20:59.000]
Now, with the posing viewpoints, we are actually going to go into the National Debate topic.
[00:21:05.000]
For this year.
[00:21:06.000]
So 2425.
[00:21:08.000]
It is intellectual property, rights.
[00:21:11.000]
And I want to talk to you about featured viewpoints and viewpoints and the difference between the 2 featured viewpoints. This is hand selected information by our content. Editors.
[00:21:21.000]
It. We look at both sides of the issue. It's not one or the other. So this is a great starting point for students as they're doing. Their research is to take a look in the the featured viewpoints. Now, the viewpoints.
[00:21:32.000]
Contain.
[00:21:33.000]
Our viewpoint essays is a document type.
[00:21:36.000]
As you can see here.
[00:21:38.000]
And our viewpoint essays provide the users with background on the author. So an opposing viewpoints we want to show all sides of the topic.
[00:21:47.000]
Showing a whole view of the article. We really want those differing opinions.
[00:21:52.000]
So if I select this 1st one here.
[00:21:55.000]
So what we've done. So, rather than asking our content editors to write 2 articles.
[00:22:00.000]
One that is for the topic, and one that is maybe against it there. So for and against, or pro and con, that's not really the real world. We don't always see that we only see one article. So what we've done is we've gone out, and we've received permission to republish the content from people that have published and are the subject matter experts. We add this to the commentary at the top of the viewpoint essays, as you can see here.
[00:22:25.000]
So it provides you with information, provides our users with information on the author.
[00:22:31.000]
And then we also have to develop those critical thinking skills. We have some questions to consider. So I get that article commentary at the top.
[00:22:40.000]
Which talks a little bit about the author, gives their background information.
[00:22:45.000]
We have some questions, and then it goes right into that article.
[00:22:51.000]
So another one another way to find or show that authority, that source of information, just one of those.
[00:22:58.000]
All the rest are pretty, you know, straightforward. But I wanted we wanted to point out some of these that are different or a little bit unique.
[00:23:06.000]
Alright! Let's talk about the next.
[00:23:08.000]
A, in.
[00:23:11.000]
The series that we have here within our test.
[00:23:14.000]
And that is.
[00:23:17.000]
Accuracy.
[00:23:19.000]
So we were in authority, the reliability, the truthfulness, and the correctness of the content. Where does the information come from?
[00:23:25.000]
I shared a lot of that in the in our Powerpoint slide. I'm talking about our curation, but we're in the resource. How can users. Discern where that information is coming from. What's.
[00:23:38.000]
You know the supported? By what evidence has the information been reviewed or referred.
[00:23:42.000]
Is there? Does there?
[00:23:45.000]
Does a language or tone seem unbiased and free of emotion?
[00:23:49.000]
I'm sure you're not referred can filter results by peer reviewed with resources, with academic journals. So I'm gonna show you how to use our advanced search.
[00:23:59.000]
And filter by our peer, reviewed articles.
[00:24:02.000]
From our academic journals.
[00:24:04.000]
Some content provides its own bibliography also.
[00:24:08.000]
So.
[00:24:09.000]
Let's go into for accuracy. We're gonna start with another resource. This time. We are going to go into Gale. One file.
[00:24:20.000]
Trying to touch into a variety of resources.
[00:24:25.000]
Now, with our in context resources, as you saw, we had the topic overview that I went into on bees for middle school and those topic overviews. They're not trying to sway your opinion. As I mentioned, they just simply provide the user with an overview of the topic, and the facts.
[00:24:41.000]
So.
[00:24:42.000]
When you talk about reliability, truthfulness of the content. For that accuracy that's the topic. Overviews are great for that.
[00:24:50.000]
Now in Gale, general, one file, we're going to do a basic search.
[00:24:54.000]
On greenhouse gases.
[00:25:04.000]
And I want to filter by document type. So over here to the right, we have document types.
[00:25:10.000]
Where.
[00:25:12.000]
We have items like.
[00:25:16.000]
Statistical data, statistical table financial reports. So this type of information being able to filter by that on the right hand side is going to help your users.
[00:25:26.000]
With the accuracy, the reliability. Are they looking for? What are they looking for? Something else that they're looking for? Is maybe Peer reviewed.
[00:25:35.000]
So we have statistical information or financial reports that type. So beyond the article and brief article, information.
[00:25:44.000]
Or letters to the editor. We're looking at that statistical information.
[00:25:49.000]
Where.
[00:25:50.000]
When we're looking for Peer reviewed, I'm actually going to go into.
[00:25:55.000]
Back into opposing viewpoints.
[00:25:59.000]
And we're going to go into advanced search directly to advanced search. So I want to show you a filter here that you have.
[00:26:06.000]
In advance, search.
[00:26:08.000]
You have the ability to filter, to peer review journals.
[00:26:13.000]
Okay, so peer review journals, we have more information on that.
[00:26:17.000]
What it's going to do. These search limiters.
[00:26:21.000]
Now I've set it to peer review journals. Maybe I want to. Also, let's stick with greenhouse gases.
[00:26:32.000]
And then.
[00:26:34.000]
Maybe I want to drill down a little bit further, because we I want something just from the last couple of years. So I've selected peer review journals, but I also want to filter to.
[00:26:44.000]
Let's do.
[00:26:46.000]
January of.
[00:26:48.000]
Just a couple years ago. Let's go back to 2020.
[00:26:51.000]
Now I'm going to click search. So again.
[00:26:54.000]
I've put in a publication date.
[00:26:56.000]
I've selected peer review journals.
[00:26:58.000]
And I've put in the term greenhouse gases.
[00:27:01.000]
I'm going to click, search.
[00:27:04.000]
And it pulls back all of my.
[00:27:06.000]
Peer review journals, and these are coming from our academic journals related on this topic.
[00:27:11.000]
Of greenhouse gases.
[00:27:13.000]
With a certain date range.
[00:27:17.000]
Again supporting that.
[00:27:20.000]
That accuracy of information. And again, our content is being.
[00:27:24.000]
Updated every day throughout the day. Something else I can do is I can sort by. I want to sort by.
[00:27:31.000]
The newest.
[00:27:32.000]
I can do that too.
[00:27:37.000]
You can see these just July 2624.
[00:27:40.000]
So.
[00:27:41.000]
Just this.
[00:27:42.000]
Last just last week, just last week, Friday and which is great cause academic journals. Sometimes we see those come out quarterly.
[00:27:50.000]
Or sometimes annually. So we have some great peer reviewed information there on greenhouse gases.
[00:27:56.000]
Alright! Let's go to our last one.
[00:28:00.000]
Before we wrap our session today.
[00:28:03.000]
And the last one is purpose.
[00:28:07.000]
So the reason? What's the reason this information exists? What is the purpose of the information? Is it to inform, teach, or persuade? Does the point of view, appear objective and impartial.
[00:28:19.000]
Are there political, religious, institutional, or personal biases?
[00:28:23.000]
So you can filter to viewpoint essays, editorials, and etc, to show content with a point of view.
[00:28:30.000]
Let me show you how to do that.
[00:28:32.000]
So this time we are going to go back into.
[00:28:36.000]
General one file.
[00:28:43.000]
And we're gonna stay on that greenhouse gases.
[00:28:47.000]
And remember how I shared with you.
[00:28:51.000]
And you can go in a diff a couple different ways. I can go right to greenhouse.
[00:28:55.000]
Gases.
[00:28:58.000]
Or I could have used advanced search.
[00:29:00.000]
But if I go in this way, this is where I can filter to certain document types, I can do that in advance. Search also, either way works.
[00:29:08.000]
It just depends on what you're looking for. So again, maybe I'm looking for a certain point of view.
[00:29:14.000]
I can look at document type, and I can select. Maybe I want interviews, letters to the editors. I want editorials.
[00:29:22.000]
Here are my viewpoint essays, and I can multi select these.
[00:29:28.000]
As I look down.
[00:29:31.000]
I could. Maybe I want a discussion. So I'm looking for point of view.
[00:29:36.000]
Information.
[00:29:38.000]
I can apply that, and it'll filter down all of my content at once. Magazines, academic journals, and news.
[00:29:45.000]
Okay. Another thing with our news. Our newspapers have sections.
[00:29:49.000]
So I might want that opinion and editorial section.
[00:29:53.000]
So if I'm looking for a point of view, that might be where I want to go. Also.
[00:29:58.000]
Or again, I can filter even further with document type.
[00:30:04.000]
Alright!
[00:30:06.000]
Let me go back to my Powerpoint, and just say Thank you again for your time today, I hope. Let me know if you have any questions, but where you can go for additional support.
