[00:00:02.020]
Welcome folks, this is Stacey Knibloe, your
[00:00:04.640]
Gale trainer! Glad to be with you
[00:00:06.680]
virtually this afternoon to take a look
[00:00:08.750]
at the new Gale resources coming to you
[00:00:10.820]
from TexShare. We are going to give you,
[00:00:14.930]
of course, an overview of each of the new
[00:00:16.699]
resources: Opposing Viewpoints In Context
[00:00:18.890]
and ChiltonLibrary, and dive in and give
[00:00:22.339]
you a live demonstration of both, share
[00:00:24.259]
some best practices, and show off the
[00:00:26.749]
resources a bit. We're also going to
[00:00:28.999]
share where you can find support for
[00:00:30.650]
each, you know, getting your access set up,
[00:00:33.680]
things like that. Feel free to
[00:00:37.790]
have me go down another path as well if
[00:00:39.980]
there's something else you'd like
[00:00:40.850]
covered this afternoon. Do let me know
[00:00:43.280]
through the chat or the questions tool
[00:00:45.200]
there over on the right. So, I think we're
[00:00:48.680]
ready to dive in and again interrupt any
[00:00:51.320]
time with questions or feedback within
[00:00:54.170]
our webinar tools. So first up
[00:00:59.660]
we want to show you where you can get
[00:01:00.740]
support for these two new resources as
[00:01:03.530]
well as all your existing Gale resources
[00:01:06.020]
that come to you through TexShare and
[00:01:07.640]
we've set up a specific support site for
[00:01:10.399]
that purpose. You can get your access
[00:01:13.249]
URLs. If you aren't already linking to
[00:01:15.710]
the two new TexShare
[00:01:18.770]
resources from Gale you're going
[00:01:20.899]
to be able to get your access URL at www.
[00:01:25.369]
galesupport.com/texshare. You'll
[00:01:29.810]
also find the database icons, support
[00:01:33.740]
materials, the training materials should
[00:01:35.749]
be added there shortly as well as some
[00:01:38.450]
other tools. So, we're going to go out
[00:01:39.859]
briefly and take a look at that site so
[00:01:41.689]
I can show you where to find your access
[00:01:43.520]
URLs. That's kind of been the most
[00:01:45.409]
important question lately so from the
[00:01:49.520]
Gale TexShare support site, you'll see
[00:01:52.490]
it's actually the very first item on the
[00:01:55.369]
page. The first icon here links URLs, Gale
[00:01:58.459]
Pages and so on - kind of all the tech
[00:02:01.189]
information lives right there.
[00:02:02.990]
So, let's go ahead and dive into it. Now
[00:02:07.249]
the first thing that you need to find is
[00:02:08.810]
your library. Every library has unique URLs
[00:02:12.010]
to access
[00:02:13.240]
the databases and we identify you by
[00:02:15.100]
your library so if I am with the Fort
[00:02:18.340]
Worth Public Library or, whoops I've
[00:02:21.400]
typed a little too much there, I can
[00:02:25.180]
select and it's going to generate the
[00:02:28.240]
URLs for all of my TexShare databases
[00:02:30.850]
from Gale as well as share what my
[00:02:33.520]
location ID is, which you may need for
[00:02:36.760]
other things as well. So that's always a
[00:02:38.470]
good little bit of code to have
[00:02:40.120]
available. So, these URLs will get you
[00:02:43.000]
directly into the resources and it's a nice
[00:02:46.330]
easy way for you to put yourselves or, of
[00:02:48.790]
course, your users into them. So that's
[00:02:52.240]
really what I wanted to show you on the
[00:02:53.830]
support site. Again, feel free to ask
[00:02:55.720]
questions if there's something else
[00:02:57.010]
you'd like to see there but that's kind
[00:02:58.930]
of the most important thing. We want to
[00:03:00.310]
make sure you've got your access set up
[00:03:01.690]
to these two new resources. Right now,
[00:03:05.410]
let's get onto those resources! So the
[00:03:08.500]
first one we're going to talk about is
[00:03:09.670]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context - this is a
[00:03:12.310]
database that Gale has put out for
[00:03:15.100]
several years, it's probably our most
[00:03:16.930]
popular database at Gale. It's based on a
[00:03:20.560]
print series we publish called
[00:03:22.360]
Opposing Viewpoints so you may be
[00:03:24.010]
familiar with that. Opposing Viewpoints
[00:03:27.850]
In Context takes a look at all the
[00:03:30.430]
various arguments within issues facing
[00:03:33.250]
our world today. It has current content
[00:03:37.870]
and you'll find it's a great place, kind
[00:03:40.720]
of a safe place, to do research into
[00:03:43.150]
these issues that are debated and
[00:03:45.100]
discussed on the news, online, on our
[00:03:48.040]
friends' Facebook pages, this is a great
[00:03:50.560]
place to get facts, develop your own
[00:03:52.540]
opinion, try to see things from another
[00:03:54.970]
point of view. Within Opposing Viewpoints
[00:03:58.090]
In Context you have, of course, these
[00:03:59.770]
viewpoint essays but there's also a lot
[00:04:02.350]
of reference content. There's current
[00:04:04.270]
periodicals, there's multimedia, that can
[00:04:07.330]
help round out the issue and also look
[00:04:10.240]
at the history behind it. So, we are
[00:04:13.540]
going to dive into it! It is one of the
[00:04:16.209]
databases that uses, kind of our standard
[00:04:18.370]
In Context interface so we hope, you'll
[00:04:21.910]
be the best judges, but we hope that it's
[00:04:23.620]
very easy to navigate and find what you
[00:04:25.630]
need. So, I'll be showing
[00:04:27.280]
some of the tools you can expect to find
[00:04:30.010]
within the resource as well as
[00:04:31.270]
highlighting the content as we go
[00:04:32.980]
through so to get us started I thought
[00:04:36.550]
we might find a reason for the library
[00:04:40.000]
maybe using Opposing Viewpoints In
[00:04:42.100]
Context. Certainly, it's always going to
[00:04:44.350]
be a great tool for, you know, support for
[00:04:47.380]
kids coming into the library doing
[00:04:48.790]
homework; for, you know, classroom tools in
[00:04:52.480]
in your academic institution and just, you
[00:04:56.800]
know, researching what you're
[00:04:58.090]
hearing on the news but I thought we
[00:04:59.650]
might look. There's been a lot of
[00:05:01.090]
discussion over the last couple of years
[00:05:03.040]
about emotional support animals and
[00:05:04.990]
libraries are trying to decide how to
[00:05:07.000]
handle those as well so let's see what
[00:05:08.919]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context can do
[00:05:10.510]
for us. So, I have gone ahead and logged
[00:05:14.590]
into Opposing Viewpoints In Context
[00:05:16.510]
already and before I start searching I
[00:05:18.880]
want to just talk a little bit about
[00:05:20.200]
what we have here on the home page. The
[00:05:22.810]
home page is intended to give the user
[00:05:25.330]
kind of a little information about what
[00:05:28.600]
they're using as well as engage them. So
[00:05:31.540]
the home page always in our databases
[00:05:34.150]
will always have a search up here in the
[00:05:37.540]
banner; that's going to follow us as we
[00:05:39.100]
go through the database so you can just
[00:05:40.479]
dive right in with whatever you're
[00:05:42.160]
looking for. You also have the ability to
[00:05:46.120]
kind of browse around and I like this
[00:05:49.120]
- browsing in the library is
[00:05:50.979]
important - you go to the shelf and you
[00:05:52.660]
find the book you wanted, and you pick up
[00:05:54.100]
two or three others because they look
[00:05:55.600]
good as well. We're going to do some good old
[00:05:58.000]
electronic browsing today with Opposing
[00:06:00.250]
Viewpoints In Context - this shows off
[00:06:03.430]
some of the topics that are available in
[00:06:05.320]
the database; it also though informs the
[00:06:08.050]
user that this is the type of content
[00:06:09.700]
they can expect to find. So, it's
[00:06:12.340]
informative as well and what's behind
[00:06:15.010]
each of the items listed here on this
[00:06:17.380]
page (and then many more) are actually -
[00:06:21.390]
I'm going to select cloud computing - a
[00:06:23.919]
homepage for that topic. So, with our In
[00:06:28.270]
Context databases we've kind of created
[00:06:31.539]
this topic page, these topic pages for
[00:06:35.280]
popular issues or well-studied issues in
[00:06:38.200]
the database and it's a good jumping-off
[00:06:41.139]
point when you're starting your research.
[00:06:42.759]
It's also a good place to get familiar
[00:06:44.860]
with your topics because right off
[00:06:46.509]
the bat, we share with you what cloud
[00:06:48.699]
computing is so if it's not a topic you're
[00:06:50.860]
that familiar with, right away you get an
[00:06:52.779]
overview essay - just the beginning of it
[00:06:54.639]
here and then you click into read more.
[00:06:56.080]
That's an unbiased article just kind of telling us
[00:06:58.900]
what cloud computing is but then you'll
[00:07:00.610]
notice we get a little hint over here to
[00:07:02.349]
the right the On This Page section gives
[00:07:05.199]
us an idea if we scroll down a bit we're
[00:07:07.060]
gonna see a lot more content and, of
[00:07:10.479]
course, first up the content that
[00:07:12.340]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context is so
[00:07:14.139]
known for: The Viewpoint Essays. So, we're
[00:07:17.439]
going to be spending a lot of time on
[00:07:18.639]
those so I'm going to come back there. We
[00:07:20.949]
also, though again have other types of
[00:07:23.110]
data here. So, Gale is a publisher; we've got
[00:07:25.210]
a lot of our own reference content here,
[00:07:27.129]
we have statistics from some of our
[00:07:29.259]
sources, we have a lot of multimedia
[00:07:31.449]
content - mostly coming from news
[00:07:33.189]
organizations - we have magazines, academic
[00:07:36.310]
journals, news articles, recommended
[00:07:40.240]
websites and then depending on your
[00:07:41.770]
topic maybe primary sources and the
[00:07:44.499]
like. So, lots of different types of
[00:07:46.060]
sources all in one place; it's kind of a
[00:07:47.800]
one-stop shopping.
[00:07:49.000]
You'll also find down at the bottom of
[00:07:51.550]
the page it can point you to other
[00:07:53.099]
sources within the database as well -
[00:07:55.599]
related topics so again you know this
[00:07:59.080]
browse ability is important in the
[00:08:00.939]
resources. We want to show folks around
[00:08:02.529]
and maybe lead them to other paths, other
[00:08:04.149]
topics as needed, I think, so these pages
[00:08:08.550]
we call them portal pages, we call them
[00:08:11.229]
topic pages, lots of different names for
[00:08:14.289]
them; you actually can get a list of all
[00:08:16.870]
these pages that we've created here in
[00:08:18.849]
the upper left-hand corner and the
[00:08:21.399]
bottom bar of the browser, or sorry not
[00:08:23.379]
browser. the banner you'll see there's a
[00:08:25.870]
Browse Issues link and what this will do
[00:08:28.509]
is show you all of the issue pages, topic
[00:08:34.240]
pages, portal pages that we've created.
[00:08:36.690]
This is also again a good way to just
[00:08:39.490]
kind of get an idea of the scope of the
[00:08:40.959]
database we're talking about - social
[00:08:42.640]
issues, hot-button issues, the types of
[00:08:44.440]
things we hear on the news, and again on
[00:08:46.839]
our friends Facebook pages so you can
[00:08:50.079]
get an idea of the coverage of this here
[00:08:52.720]
and you'll notice we've got a notation
[00:08:54.850]
if something has been recently updated.
[00:08:56.670]
Now technically the database is updated
[00:08:59.649]
every day, we add new news articles
[00:09:01.690]
magazines, journals those go in every day
[00:09:03.759]
but the updated note we only include
[00:09:07.180]
when we've updated a significant portion
[00:09:08.980]
of the reference, the viewpoints, those
[00:09:11.230]
types of things so you'll see a note for
[00:09:13.569]
that. You'll also see a new tag for new
[00:09:17.290]
items and there we can see our service
[00:09:19.180]
and emotional support animals. So again
[00:09:21.339]
this is something that's been coming up.
[00:09:22.690]
We created a portal page for it so let's
[00:09:24.579]
go ahead and take a look now the portal
[00:09:30.399]
page. Again, has that similar layout that
[00:09:32.589]
we just saw for cloud computing so right
[00:09:34.329]
off the bat we get an overview essay on
[00:09:36.190]
the topic but we're looking for opinions.
[00:09:38.920]
Usually when we're in Opposing
[00:09:40.420]
Viewpoints In Context so let's take a
[00:09:42.069]
look at these Viewpoint Essays. So, you'll
[00:09:44.889]
notice that we have a Featured
[00:09:47.230]
Viewpoints and a Viewpoints content
[00:09:50.009]
bucket, we call them and the Featured
[00:09:52.779]
Viewpoints are something our editors
[00:09:54.490]
have hand selected and included there
[00:09:56.380]
and if we pop in you can see each of the
[00:10:01.449]
essays are labeled as, or I should say they
[00:10:04.870]
are titled to give you the opinion of
[00:10:07.300]
what their author is thinking. All right
[00:10:11.620]
so those have been hand selected; some of
[00:10:13.630]
them are coming from our Opposing
[00:10:15.459]
Viewpoints series, some could come from
[00:10:16.959]
At Issues. We have a few different
[00:10:19.420]
series that do this. We also though, in
[00:10:21.310]
Featured Viewpoints, pull other articles
[00:10:23.170]
so, you can see some things coming from
[00:10:24.339]
current periodicals, as well, these again
[00:10:28.000]
are hand selected by our editors so if
[00:10:30.130]
you just want to kind of point to one
[00:10:31.899]
Source,
[00:10:32.980]
I shouldn't say source, one content
[00:10:35.110]
bucket rather, the Featured Viewpoints might be
[00:10:37.209]
a good place to get started. The
[00:10:41.130]
Viewpoints content bucket here (or
[00:10:43.930]
content type) is pulling all of the
[00:10:46.839]
Viewpoint Essays from our viewpoint
[00:10:49.149]
series so again Opposing Viewpoints, At
[00:10:54.310]
Issues, Current Controversies, and the
[00:10:57.160]
Like; we pull from those sources as well
[00:11:00.279]
as anything that may have been added to
[00:11:03.370]
the database and then is going to come
[00:11:04.720]
later in one of our print series.
[00:11:07.020]
So again, each of the Viewpoints tell you
[00:11:09.990]
right at the results here what the
[00:11:11.670]
opinion of the author is, and we do that
[00:11:15.480]
because you may notice we don't label
[00:11:17.370]
them pro or con or opinion A, opinion B.
[00:11:21.029]
It's all about critical thinking in this
[00:11:24.630]
database so, you know, the user can see
[00:11:27.450]
what the opinion of the of the author is
[00:11:28.980]
but we don't want to kind of handhold
[00:11:30.450]
them and not every issue breaks
[00:11:33.300]
down into an easy pro/con type approach.
[00:11:36.089]
So, we'll see more of those as we come
[00:11:38.700]
into the database. So if we go ahead and
[00:11:42.120]
jump into an entry you'll see each
[00:11:47.610]
article starts with this article
[00:11:49.050]
commentary and we've got it on a
[00:11:50.700]
different background you can see - it's
[00:11:52.410]
highlighted in blue here because we want
[00:11:54.870]
it to jump out at the user. What we've
[00:11:57.180]
done with Opposing Viewpoints In Context
[00:12:00.390]
and again, the print series that is
[00:12:02.010]
making it up is, rather than have our
[00:12:04.529]
editors just write us an article with an
[00:12:07.110]
opinion in it, we went out and looked for
[00:12:09.570]
people who are already writing on the
[00:12:11.430]
Topic, are knowledgeable on the topic, and
[00:12:13.589]
got permission to republish their essays
[00:12:17.120]
or articles. It is important that we're
[00:12:21.899]
getting content from folks who know what
[00:12:23.490]
they're talking about; we don't just want
[00:12:24.839]
kind of a standard article that was
[00:12:28.649]
written expressly for a viewpoint
[00:12:30.270]
Opinion. So, that's what the article
[00:12:32.820]
commentary is introducing you you to - this
[00:12:34.680]
person who wrote the article and then it
[00:12:36.990]
also, is to jumpstart critical thinking in
[00:12:39.060]
our readers. “As you read, consider the
[00:12:41.490]
following questions” so we want people to think
[00:12:44.160]
critically about these issues; we're
[00:12:46.200]
reading someone else's opinion to help
[00:12:47.940]
develop our own or make our own argument.
[00:12:50.520]
These questions are going to help us do
[00:12:52.680]
that and you can see at the bottom of
[00:12:55.110]
every article we show our Source
[00:12:58.680]
Citation and this isn't unusual; we do it
[00:13:00.870]
in all of our Gale resources so it’s a great
[00:13:04.110]
way for people to be able to just copy
[00:13:05.579]
and paste and say include in their
[00:13:07.050]
Bibliography. But what I like to point
[00:13:09.089]
out about these is you see where they
[00:13:10.980]
originally were published first and what
[00:13:13.380]
the original title was; we change those
[00:13:15.240]
titles so that the opinion is clearly
[00:13:19.260]
stated in the
[00:13:20.400]
title for our results list but you can
[00:13:23.190]
see what the original title was, where it
[00:13:24.810]
originally appeared so you get a couple
[00:13:26.910]
levels of citation here with the
[00:13:28.860]
Viewpoint Essays. So we've got several
[00:13:33.660]
opinions on this issue and in
[00:13:36.420]
the viewpoints in the Featured
[00:13:37.620]
Viewpoints but if we go out, remember
[00:13:39.360]
we've also got lots of other content. So
[00:13:42.150]
certainly, this has been a topic that's
[00:13:43.470]
been in the news, especially over the
[00:13:45.780]
last few months or so. There's been some
[00:13:48.620]
bigger stories around folks using Emotional Support Animals.
[00:13:51.810]
A lot of them (I read about because I
[00:13:53.790]
travel all the time) having to do with
[00:13:55.200]
bringing animals on planes and things
[00:13:56.880]
like that so I've got lots of news
[00:13:58.950]
Articles, academic journals into the
[00:14:02.250]
study as well. So we've got a lot of
[00:14:06.450]
content to round out an argument if
[00:14:08.550]
that's what you're trying to make but
[00:14:10.650]
then also, as I mentioned, the
[00:14:11.970]
library could use this the reference,
[00:14:13.710]
content out those journals, the
[00:14:16.710]
magazines and news and such to help make
[00:14:19.080]
up their own policy. See what other
[00:14:20.700]
people are doing so kind of an
[00:14:23.610]
interesting topic here. Now, of course,
[00:14:26.160]
we're going to have the classics as well,
[00:14:27.870]
and that's one of the things I always
[00:14:29.580]
like to show off in Opposing Viewpoints
[00:14:31.260]
In Context. You know the death penalty
[00:14:35.880]
has been a topic for debate
[00:14:40.250]
since way back when I was in school. We
[00:14:43.110]
did a mock debate about it. I know it's
[00:14:44.880]
still around so I wanted to show you
[00:14:46.320]
what we do with those topics as
[00:14:48.450]
well. So you'll notice, let me point out
[00:14:51.540]
I'm just gonna circle it here to kind of
[00:14:52.950]
call it out, and this is a more
[00:14:55.980]
traditional result screen - it hasn't
[00:14:57.720]
taken us directly to a portal page but I
[00:15:00.420]
wanted to point out the Viewpoint Essays.
[00:15:02.130]
There are a hundred and eighty-three and
[00:15:04.520]
I know that number is high but what I
[00:15:07.590]
want to point out about it; if we jump in
[00:15:09.770]
you'll see one of the things we do in
[00:15:13.320]
our databases is sort by relevance.
[00:15:15.510]
Now that's pushing very relevant
[00:15:19.530]
articles up to the top of my results
[00:15:21.360]
list but you'll notice some of them are
[00:15:23.340]
a little older 2002, 2015, 2005
[00:15:30.870]
and so on. One of the interesting
[00:15:33.930]
things
[00:15:34.230]
about Opposing Viewpoints In Context is
[00:15:36.380]
this is a topic that we've covered
[00:15:38.970]
several times in our series and in other
[00:15:42.330]
databases what we do is cycle out; we
[00:15:44.760]
take out the old edition and put in the
[00:15:46.920]
new. In Opposing Viewpoints In Context, we
[00:15:49.650]
keep the older editions - laws change,
[00:15:52.380]
public opinion changes, and we want the
[00:15:55.020]
Viewpoint Essays to reflect how that has
[00:15:57.060]
happened throughout time so it's an
[00:16:00.090]
interesting way to look at a topic.
[00:16:02.420]
Again, you know, a lot of these issues can
[00:16:05.250]
break down into kind of a pro/con but
[00:16:07.410]
one of the other great things about
[00:16:08.610]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context is it is
[00:16:11.930]
uncovering the grey within these topics.
[00:16:15.030]
So, you know, certainly they're going to
[00:16:17.550]
be essays where it's looking at the
[00:16:20.040]
death penalty from “yes, we should have it”/
[00:16:21.630]
“no, we shouldn't have it” but then it also
[00:16:23.670]
takes a look at “well maybe it's okay but
[00:16:26.610]
only certain types” or “how do we handle
[00:16:29.340]
it for this type of population” and that
[00:16:31.500]
type of thing. So it really opens up the
[00:16:34.200]
discussion on the topic and digs much
[00:16:36.030]
deeper than a strictly pro/con point of
[00:16:38.250]
View. So the Viewpoint Essays really
[00:16:42.030]
uncover things like that and that's why
[00:16:45.480]
again, let me just go back to browse
[00:16:46.920]
issues here for a second,
[00:16:48.780]
you're gonna find a lot of issues in
[00:16:50.850]
here that, right off the bat, you may not
[00:16:52.620]
think “Well, what's debatable about that?”
[00:16:55.380]
So, for example, let me (it's
[00:16:59.130]
just alphabetical order here) let me find
[00:17:00.660]
us...
[00:17:03.320]
scrolling down...endangered species. So
[00:17:06.480]
nobody is for endangered species but
[00:17:10.280]
there are issues within it so if
[00:17:13.650]
we take a look at those, a few points
[00:17:15.360]
that it offers, you kind of uncover the
[00:17:18.180]
discussion within endangered species. So
[00:17:20.520]
how exactly to combat this problem - are
[00:17:23.580]
we spending too much money on it, that
[00:17:25.380]
type of thing. So you have these issues
[00:17:29.340]
where maybe, right off the bat, you don't
[00:17:31.350]
know what the argument might be
[00:17:33.240]
but then as you get into the Viewpoints
[00:17:35.280]
you can see how it changes. So I
[00:17:41.090]
mentioned the dates, let me go
[00:17:43.410]
back and cover something I meant to
[00:17:45.180]
mention. We were looking at those
[00:17:46.200]
Results; we
[00:17:47.640]
do sort by relevance but you can change
[00:17:51.360]
that. So if
[00:17:53.520]
looking at those death penalty results, I
[00:17:55.290]
could sort instead by date if that were
[00:17:59.370]
important. I can choose to sort by newest
[00:18:01.440]
and push those articles that are more
[00:18:04.140]
recently published right to the top of
[00:18:05.580]
my list. So you always have that option.
[00:18:07.970]
I'm just going to take a quick pause
[00:18:10.170]
Here; make sure haven't missed anything
[00:18:11.460]
in the questions or can’t. Not so far but
[00:18:14.490]
feel free to send them on in. So let's go
[00:18:17.910]
ahead and take a look - I'm just going to
[00:18:19.290]
jump into one of these entries, talk a
[00:18:20.880]
little bit more about what you can do
[00:18:22.290]
with this content. So again, here's
[00:18:24.720]
another essay and there's that article
[00:18:26.580]
commentary getting highlighted and then
[00:18:28.710]
the actual article itself. Now you have a
[00:18:31.890]
lot of tools, a lot of things you can do
[00:18:33.960]
with the articles you find in Gale
[00:18:35.970]
databases. So, if you've been using them, you
[00:18:38.910]
know some of them, this look these will
[00:18:40.380]
be a little bit of a repeat but I do
[00:18:41.850]
want to highlight a couple that I
[00:18:44.190]
think will come in really handy. So
[00:18:47.510]
probably the most popular feature (I
[00:18:49.920]
touched on briefly before) the Source
[00:18:52.050]
Citation we have there at the bottom of
[00:18:54.000]
the page. Now that is an MLA style
[00:18:57.510]
citation so if I'm writing a paper and
[00:18:59.700]
I'm turning this in to my professor and
[00:19:01.890]
they use MLA style then I am good to go!
[00:19:04.350]
I can copy and paste that right into my
[00:19:05.790]
Bibliography. However, let's say my
[00:19:08.160]
professor likes APA - well then, I have the
[00:19:14.520]
citation tools here in our Tools menu.
[00:19:16.830]
The very first button because again, it
[00:19:19.050]
is the most popular one. So the citation
[00:19:22.770]
tools will let me change this. Say I need
[00:19:25.530]
APA, I can switch right over to APA; say I
[00:19:28.560]
need Chicago, I can select and copy it
[00:19:32.760]
right into my bibliography. Or a lot of
[00:19:36.300]
our academic institutions have tools
[00:19:38.520]
like ProCite and things like that; you
[00:19:43.620]
can export your citations out to Pro
[00:19:47.760]
Cite, EasyBib, and EndNote - all of these items.
[00:19:50.490]
We're going to talk about the Google and
[00:19:52.170]
OneDrive options in a minute but you can
[00:19:55.230]
we work with those tools and you can
[00:19:56.790]
just export the content right out. We're
[00:19:58.920]
also Zotero compliant so if you have
[00:20:00.900]
that
[00:20:01.280]
added to your browser you can take
[00:20:04.490]
advantage of Zotero as well. So
[00:20:07.220]
every article is going to have that
[00:20:08.690]
feature regardless of whether you're in
[00:20:10.130]
a viewpoint essay or a newspaper article.
[00:20:13.900]
You also have the ability to markup the
[00:20:18.110]
content you find. So back when I was in
[00:20:21.170]
School, I printed out everything or made
[00:20:23.330]
photocopies and then I would go through
[00:20:26.090]
with a highlighter marker and mark up
[00:20:28.190]
the article and make notes in the
[00:20:29.600]
margins. You can actually do that within
[00:20:32.240]
the database; you click and drag as if
[00:20:37.310]
you're gonna copy and when you're done,
[00:20:40.300]
pops open the Highlights and Notes bar!
[00:20:43.250]
Now if I were on a touchscreen, I would
[00:20:45.860]
just touch the first word and the last
[00:20:47.900]
word on the screen and it would
[00:20:50.420]
highlight that what's within those
[00:20:52.910]
Sets. So highlight - I can use whatever
[00:20:56.120]
color marker I like here, maybe I'm going
[00:20:57.890]
to use yellow for notes I want to check
[00:21:03.940]
so I want to look up the Endangered
[00:21:06.110]
Species Acto of 1973 so I'm
[00:21:08.210]
highlighting this, make sure to click
[00:21:10.970]
Save. And you can continue to mark up the
[00:21:14.540]
article throughout your reading of it.
[00:21:18.620]
Add other notes, you can just continue to
[00:21:25.580]
mark up the article. Now this isn't
[00:21:30.200]
enough.
[00:21:30.620]
I've marked it up but what do I do now?
[00:21:34.430]
This Highlights and Notes feature is
[00:21:36.410]
session dependent so if I close my
[00:21:38.840]
browser right now,
[00:21:40.130]
it's gonna close out the database and
[00:21:42.910]
those Highlights and Notes are gone! Okay?
[00:21:45.830]
I need to take them with me before I
[00:21:47.960]
leave and I do that the same way I do
[00:21:50.600]
in any database - you use what we call the
[00:21:53.780]
retrieval tools. Let me use my little
[00:21:56.450]
highlighter here -
[00:22:00.710]
to Google Drive or OneDrive, Print, Email,
[00:22:02.990]
or Download - all of those are going to
[00:22:05.179]
take the article and your Highlights and
[00:22:07.610]
Notes. Google Drive has become, far and
[00:22:13.789]
Away, the most popular option so I'm
[00:22:15.590]
going to use that as my example. So you
[00:22:19.370]
want to be logged into your Google
[00:22:20.630]
account; if you're not, it would just
[00:22:21.860]
prompt you to log in right then. I've
[00:22:24.590]
gone ahead and done that just to save us
[00:22:26.539]
a little time and we get a confirmation
[00:22:28.789]
it was sent to Google Drive.
[00:22:30.500]
Well, let's go find it! Now what we do - and
[00:22:34.640]
this happens automatically, the user
[00:22:36.260]
doesn't have to do anything - is we create
[00:22:38.870]
a folder named after the database you
[00:22:42.770]
were using so Opposing Viewpoints In
[00:22:44.899]
Context happens automatically and then
[00:22:48.529]
we take the article and we turn it into
[00:22:52.309]
a Google Doc. Now if I'd done this in
[00:22:54.500]
Microsoft OneDrive we'd turn it into a
[00:22:56.779]
Word Online document and, there's our
[00:22:59.809]
article. It's pulled over all of the
[00:23:02.630]
commentary, of course, and there are my
[00:23:05.630]
highlights. And you can see it even uses the
[00:23:07.640]
colors that I indicated in the database
[00:23:10.039]
and at the bottom, we can see it pulled
[00:23:13.010]
over the source citation and it's
[00:23:15.799]
reprinted the highlights and included my
[00:23:18.230]
notes. This will all happen the same if
[00:23:21.980]
you print or email as well. Your
[00:23:25.010]
highlights and notes just appear at the
[00:23:26.510]
Bottom. The great thing though about
[00:23:29.240]
having this in Google Drive is now it's
[00:23:31.700]
available to me anytime, anywhere, from
[00:23:34.070]
any device - it lives in the cloud now. I
[00:23:37.809]
can use all of Google’s capabilities here:
[00:23:41.840]
I can edit this document, I can change
[00:23:44.630]
the format, I can share it, whatever you'd
[00:23:47.570]
normally do with a Google Doc. There's no
[00:23:50.059]
Digital Rights Management (DRM) here so it's
[00:23:51.890]
not going to disappear from my Google
[00:23:53.750]
Drive in a week or two. It's going to be
[00:23:55.640]
there until I choose to delete it. I can
[00:23:59.120]
move it around - if I want to move this to
[00:24:01.250]
my endangered-species folder I can do
[00:24:03.649]
that. Once it's here, it's yours to do
[00:24:06.500]
with as you like so great way to keep
[00:24:10.279]
track of your content and it's a tool
[00:24:12.380]
that really fits into your users’
[00:24:14.419]
workflow - these are things they're
[00:24:16.549]
already using so why not make our
[00:24:19.190]
databases part of their workflow as well?
[00:24:22.779]
So, you'll see that option for every
[00:24:25.429]
article and of course, we've got the old
[00:24:27.649]
standbys - printing and emailing if
[00:24:29.629]
folks prefer that, they're gonna
[00:24:31.730]
get their highlights and notes that way.
[00:24:33.139]
Just now a couple tools to help you reach
[00:24:37.039]
more users. You'll notice we have a
[00:24:39.080]
listen button. Now unfortunately, you
[00:24:41.119]
can't hear it on the other end of your
[00:24:43.309]
of the webinar but I'll have you trust
[00:24:45.590]
me,it's going to be going in my
[00:24:47.570]
Headphones. It's gonna read the
[00:24:49.909]
article to you; it starts with the title,
[00:24:52.159]
you can see it's highlighting as it's
[00:24:53.840]
Reading. I'm gonna go ahead and pause it
[00:24:57.320]
so it's not talking to me. It's
[00:25:00.139]
gonna read the entire article. What I
[00:25:02.149]
like about it versus a screen reader is
[00:25:04.220]
it's not trying to read everything on
[00:25:06.080]
the page; it reads just the title of the
[00:25:08.119]
article then starts with the article so
[00:25:10.940]
really handy. There are some tools you
[00:25:12.769]
can use within it to make it the settings
[00:25:15.289]
the way you like.
[00:25:17.649]
So, a great way to reach folks who are
[00:25:20.330]
maybe more auditory learners and than
[00:25:22.009]
visual folks with, of
[00:25:25.429]
Course, vision issues. It's a great tool!
[00:25:28.039]
You also have an on-demand language
[00:25:31.190]
translation - this article, and any of the
[00:25:35.299]
articles in Opposing Viewpoints In
[00:25:36.649]
Context, can be translated into almost 40
[00:25:39.350]
languages here and, it is a machine
[00:25:43.539]
translation and you'll get that note at
[00:25:45.559]
the top, but it's a great way again, to
[00:25:48.289]
reach more users so if they really
[00:25:49.759]
struggle with English and we have their
[00:25:51.799]
native language, it's a great way for
[00:25:53.090]
them to absorb the information. And you
[00:25:55.909]
notice the listen button has stuck
[00:25:57.320]
around so I could actually hear this in
[00:25:58.759]
Spanish too. So lots of languages to
[00:26:02.269]
choose from there; we added about 20 or
[00:26:07.639]
25 new ones just in the last few months.
[00:26:09.649]
So, we love to hear feedback on this - what
[00:26:12.830]
other languages you might like to see.
[00:26:14.330]
Feel free to let us know! So every
[00:26:18.919]
article is going to have these tools - you
[00:26:20.779]
can take advantage of them wherever you
[00:26:22.970]
like in the resource.
[00:26:25.549]
A couple more tools and then we're going
[00:26:27.919]
to move on to ChiltonLibrary. So let's
[00:26:30.860]
say we are discussing climate
[00:26:34.669]
change and I'll say for example, at a
[00:26:38.960]
public library maybe, we're having a
[00:26:40.460]
program around it and we want to help
[00:26:43.879]
inform folks and maybe even share
[00:26:46.249]
information with folks who aren't able
[00:26:47.809]
to attend. So big topic, you know, it's a
[00:26:54.460]
big topic of discussion with
[00:26:57.379]
different issues within it. Let's
[00:26:59.539]
say we want to give folks a look at what
[00:27:01.820]
the database can do for them around it.
[00:27:03.440]
So, there's of course, lots of good stuff
[00:27:06.619]
for us here on this portal page and
[00:27:08.330]
again, I mentioned it's a great
[00:27:09.470]
jumping-off point for folks to get more
[00:27:11.539]
familiar with the topic. Well, let's say I
[00:27:14.989]
want to put folks right here on the
[00:27:16.999]
Global Warming and Climate Change topic
[00:27:19.639]
page - that is easy to do with Gale’s
[00:27:23.210]
Bookmark feature! This Bookmark button in
[00:27:27.320]
the upper right-hand corner is going to
[00:27:29.720]
give you a persistent URL or PERL that
[00:27:35.389]
you can copy and paste right into a
[00:27:37.429]
Tweet from the library's account, onto a
[00:27:40.609]
link in a libguide, wherever you would
[00:27:43.549]
normally put a URL, these Bookmark URLs
[00:27:47.119]
can go! And what makes them special
[00:27:51.470]
is that they are persistent so they'll
[00:27:53.690]
always bring you back to the same place.
[00:27:55.429]
You'll always land on this Global
[00:27:56.869]
Warming and Climate Change page. Right
[00:27:59.330]
Now, that doesn't sound that unique; a lot
[00:28:01.399]
of URLs do that but
[00:28:02.749]
what takes this a step further is the
[00:28:05.629]
Bookmark URL jumps over authentication.
[00:28:10.269]
So, when you click on a link that is a
[00:28:12.859]
Bookmark link, it doesn't stop and ask
[00:28:15.799]
you for your library card number or your
[00:28:18.649]
student ID number or anything like that.
[00:28:20.659]
It's just gonna let you into Opposing
[00:28:22.519]
Viewpoints In Context and take you to
[00:28:24.200]
the Global Warming and Climate Change
[00:28:25.369]
page. Now it doesn't let you into the
[00:28:28.249]
rest of the database; it doesn't just
[00:28:29.929]
completely open up the database. It only
[00:28:32.720]
takes you to the content that was linked
[00:28:34.460]
to so this can be a great tool for
[00:28:36.139]
reserved reading as well you know,
[00:28:38.210]
professors have articles
[00:28:39.500]
they want students to read for class or
[00:28:41.690]
again, thinking about your libguides you
[00:28:44.390]
don't have to link to just the portal
[00:28:45.800]
Pages; individual articles are available
[00:28:47.780]
for linking as well and you'll see as
[00:28:51.680]
you go into all of them, there's that
[00:28:54.440]
Bookmark up in the upper right hand
[00:28:56.780]
corner giving you the persistent URL so
[00:29:01.070]
this is a great way to draw people into
[00:29:04.160]
the database. To discover Opposing
[00:29:06.770]
Viewpoints In Context but also a way for
[00:29:10.100]
you to kind of put content in to the
[00:29:12.770]
classroom at your academic institution.
[00:29:15.200]
Again, for the library to tweet about and
[00:29:18.050]
maybe bring folks into the library
[00:29:19.970]
virtually to show off these resources. So
[00:29:23.110]
the bookmark is a really great way to
[00:29:26.170]
raise usage and awareness of the
[00:29:28.670]
resource and again, because of the
[00:29:31.340]
content that Opposing Viewpoints in
[00:29:33.140]
Context covers, again it's certainly
[00:29:35.960]
helpful for college students, you know,
[00:29:38.870]
high school students using the library
[00:29:41.240]
at the public library for homework help
[00:29:42.820]
but I think it's a great tool for adults
[00:29:45.320]
as well. You know it's always good to be
[00:29:47.030]
informed about an issue you feel
[00:29:48.680]
passionately about; it's good to try and
[00:29:50.960]
understand the other side of someone's
[00:29:52.850]
Arguments. This database can do that. The
[00:29:56.210]
other thing I like about it, is it gets
[00:29:57.860]
behind the issue. You know certainly you
[00:30:00.080]
can see what's being discussed today but
[00:30:02.660]
you get the background on these issues -
[00:30:04.610]
so how do we get where we are with this?
[00:30:06.640]
So, excellent resource; I think your users
[00:30:10.640]
will find it really helpful and again, it
[00:30:12.590]
is one of the most popular databases we
[00:30:14.570]
produce at Gale so we're thrilled that
[00:30:17.540]
you're able to access it via TexShare.
[00:30:21.220]
So that is a look at Opposing Viewpoints
[00:30:24.320]
In Context. Again use the questions or
[00:30:26.630]
chat tool if you'd like to send me any
[00:30:28.370]
questions or anything else you'd like me
[00:30:30.020]
to click here but I think we're ready to
[00:30:33.140]
take a look at your other new resource
[00:30:35.000]
as well. So, let me give you a, oh I'm
[00:30:39.980]
sorry before I do that, let me just
[00:30:41.810]
mention we also offer an Opposing
[00:30:45.080]
Viewpoints In Context Chrome extension.
[00:30:47.660]
So, this is for users who are using
[00:30:51.230]
Chrome as their browser.
[00:30:53.500]
You can install the Opposing Viewpoints
[00:30:56.690]
In Context extension from the Google
[00:30:59.120]
Chrome Store and what it will do, you can
[00:31:01.340]
see the big arrow pointing at it there,
[00:31:02.930]
is will integrate results from Opposing
[00:31:06.470]
Viewpoints In Context on your Google
[00:31:08.720]
search results page. Now there is some
[00:31:11.690]
setup involved; it does need to kind of
[00:31:14.120]
identify your library and we have help
[00:31:17.390]
files I'll send in my follow-up email
[00:31:19.510]
around how to set this up and there are
[00:31:21.980]
even ways to install it, kind of, across
[00:31:25.370]
your organization so if Chrome is a
[00:31:27.440]
popular browser at your institution and
[00:31:29.870]
say you want the Chrome extension on all
[00:31:32.120]
of the library computers, there are ways
[00:31:34.640]
to do that and we've got help for you to
[00:31:36.950]
do that. So it does involve a little
[00:31:38.450]
Setup; we won't look at it today, if
[00:31:40.760]
there's interest we can certainly host a
[00:31:42.830]
webinar all about the Chrome extension,
[00:31:44.090]
but it's a great way to promote library
[00:31:47.840]
resources alongside folks who are
[00:31:49.670]
already using Google. So really neat
[00:31:53.390]
Feature! Okay so on to ChiltonLibrary! So
[00:31:58.160]
when I was at the public library at the
[00:32:00.410]
reference desk, we could not keep the
[00:32:02.450]
Chilton manuals on the shelf! They were,
[00:32:06.650]
of course, big thick books with
[00:32:08.120]
tissue-thin paper; they didn't always
[00:32:10.940]
come back in the best shape because
[00:32:12.320]
maybe folks are, you know, laying down in
[00:32:13.910]
their driveway trying to get underneath
[00:32:15.470]
their car and read the Chilton manual at
[00:32:17.390]
the same time. So they were a tough tool
[00:32:20.030]
to keep on the shelf in the library. Now
[00:32:22.250]
you have access to all of this
[00:32:24.110]
do-it-yourself help from Chilton's for
[00:32:27.770]
your own repair and maintenance of your
[00:32:30.470]
vehicle and it's super simple to use.
[00:32:33.980]
We're going to take a look at it but
[00:32:35.990]
basically, you pick your car and then it
[00:32:38.210]
walks you through the repair manual,
[00:32:40.280]
the maintenance schedules, the bulletins
[00:32:42.890]
and recalls should it have any. There's
[00:32:45.020]
even test prep for the ASE test so if
[00:32:48.430]
anyone is pursuing car repair as a
[00:32:52.180]
Career,
[00:32:53.360]
there's test prep they can do in the
[00:32:54.890]
database as well. So this is a great
[00:32:57.920]
Resource, you know, for those folks who
[00:32:59.480]
want to save themselves a little money,
[00:33:00.830]
do their own repair, or, you know, just for
[00:33:02.780]
the car enthusiasts who likes to work on
[00:33:04.700]
their own vehicle. It is mobile responsive
[00:33:07.190]
so if they've, you know, brought it up on
[00:33:09.200]
their iPad while they're in the garage
[00:33:10.670]
trying to replace their battery or
[00:33:13.880]
something like that, they've got a nice,
[00:33:17.390]
easy resource to use!
[00:33:18.890]
So, it's updated frequently, adding new
[00:33:21.080]
cars all the time and of course, that's
[00:33:23.540]
important for the bulletins and recalls
[00:33:25.010]
as well. So very current resource! Well,
[00:33:28.160]
let's go ahead and take a look! So, let me
[00:33:32.510]
just log in here. So, this is going to
[00:33:39.410]
have a different look and feel.
[00:33:40.670]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context
[00:33:42.770]
is kind of a research database; Chilton
[00:33:45.050]
Library is a really a end user-built tool
[00:33:47.900]
for them to find help.
[00:33:51.230]
So the first thing you've got
[00:33:54.140]
to do is pick your vehicle; everything
[00:33:56.720]
hinges on that and you just use the
[00:33:59.600]
Vehicle Selector tool that appears here
[00:34:01.280]
on the homepage and then you'll see
[00:34:03.500]
there's a banner that follows us through
[00:34:06.830]
ChiltonLibrary so you can always come
[00:34:08.390]
back and select a new vehicle right from
[00:34:10.400]
the banner there. So we choose our year
[00:34:16.580]
and in this case, let's say we're looking
[00:34:19.250]
for a 2008 Ford Explorer and every
[00:34:23.330]
choice you make kind of filters the list
[00:34:25.190]
below so we only show the vehicles that
[00:34:28.640]
we have or the Make that we have for 2008
[00:34:31.550]
Vehicles, which is a lot of them and then
[00:34:34.790]
again, just narrows down so we need to
[00:34:36.260]
choose our Model and that's it! Click
[00:34:41.570]
Select and it's going to show whatever
[00:34:43.910]
we have for the vehicle. So mostly you
[00:34:47.480]
will find for all of the vehicles you're
[00:34:49.010]
gonna find a repair manual and for most
[00:34:51.260]
of them you'll find maintenance
[00:34:52.460]
schedules as well. As we start looking at
[00:34:54.500]
the much older cars say, the ones from
[00:34:56.419]
the 50s and the like, some of that stuff
[00:34:59.030]
isn't available but the repair manual
[00:35:01.880]
is really what this resource is about so
[00:35:03.950]
they're all going to have the repair
[00:35:05.210]
Manual. The bulletins and recalls again
[00:35:07.760]
you know if it's from the 50s that may
[00:35:10.040]
not be available but shows you what we
[00:35:12.260]
have for your vehicle. I'm just gonna
[00:35:14.870]
focus on the
[00:35:16.310]
repair manual so let me quickly jump
[00:35:17.660]
into the other tools so you can see what
[00:35:18.950]
you can expect to find.
[00:35:20.660]
The maintenance schedule is available
[00:35:22.820]
but you do have to kind of narrow down
[00:35:24.770]
your vehicle type so we just do that the
[00:35:27.350]
same way we do with the vehicle itself
[00:35:30.280]
but I'm going to kind of move on to the
[00:35:32.660]
other tools. Something they added a few
[00:35:34.850]
years ago, is the labor estimator. So this
[00:35:37.430]
is a really handy way for you to (I'm
[00:35:41.060]
just gonna switch to one of the
[00:35:42.800]
browsable tools here so we can bring up
[00:35:46.190]
a list) but this is a great way for you
[00:35:49.940]
to go into if you are going to a repair
[00:35:52.190]
Shop, maybe it's not something you feel
[00:35:53.480]
like you can fix yourself or want to
[00:35:54.920]
Attempt, and have an idea
[00:35:57.080]
what the estimated labor hours may be so
[00:36:00.320]
they show you for both the dealer and
[00:36:02.740]
Say, if you go to a regular repair shop.
[00:36:05.210]
So this is, you know, good to have some
[00:36:08.360]
information when you go in to a repair
[00:36:11.240]
Shop; have a little knowledge beforehand
[00:36:13.550]
or at least then can kind of estimate
[00:36:15.470]
what you might be paying once you know
[00:36:17.390]
their hourly rate. So the bulletins and
[00:36:20.600]
recalls is also filterable. It shows
[00:36:24.200]
you all of them to start and then you
[00:36:26.750]
can narrow down so if
[00:36:29.420]
suspect there's something going on with
[00:36:31.430]
your HVAC system, you can open that up
[00:36:35.090]
and see recalls relating to HVAC. You can
[00:36:38.180]
also do it by symptom which is handy and
[00:36:41.980]
should you have one of those code
[00:36:43.820]
Readers, you can search by the trouble
[00:36:45.590]
codes too. But again this database is
[00:36:48.770]
kind of all about the repair manual so
[00:36:50.900]
let's go ahead and take a look now. The
[00:36:54.530]
repair manual are specifically
[00:36:56.300]
written for do-it-yourselfers so what
[00:36:58.160]
you start out with is basically the
[00:37:01.070]
top of the Table Of Contents. So we're
[00:37:04.190]
starting out here and just have to
[00:37:06.230]
choose the area of the vehicle we're
[00:37:08.120]
interested in so say we want to change
[00:37:11.150]
our oil. So we go under Engine Mechanical
[00:37:14.360]
and then it pops open and so you can see
[00:37:18.680]
it not quite filtering but narrows down
[00:37:21.220]
the Table Of Contents. You kind of keep
[00:37:23.450]
moving down levels so Engine Oil And
[00:37:27.920]
Filter Change and say we're looking for
[00:37:32.390]
a Basic Oil and Filter Change
[00:37:35.349]
and we have a 4.6-liter Engine and there
[00:37:41.720]
we go. You'll find quite a bit of the
[00:37:45.440]
manual is illustrated in some way,
[00:37:47.420]
whether it's a photograph or an actual
[00:37:49.130]
Illustration.
[00:37:50.810]
They very but that's, of course, good. You
[00:37:53.720]
can make sure you're looking at
[00:37:55.820]
the right thing.
[00:37:57.730]
Lots of caution notes around what you're
[00:38:01.790]
doing with the vehicle and again heavily
[00:38:08.839]
Illustrated. You'll find videos as well
[00:38:10.580]
and in some cases, animations. So, lots of
[00:38:16.400]
help here for maintaining our vehicles.
[00:38:18.260]
Now you also will find, (let me scroll back up)
[00:38:22.900]
you're within the whole manual so you
[00:38:25.640]
can kind of follow the
[00:38:27.740]
breadcrumb trail here of where we got
[00:38:29.450]
where we are to get back to the rest of
[00:38:31.310]
the entire manual but there's also a
[00:38:34.099]
search tool so if you're (I don't you
[00:38:37.099]
know I'm not a car person) so say I need
[00:38:38.869]
to do something with the tires I can
[00:38:40.849]
search the manual and it will bring up
[00:38:43.190]
the sections where that term is
[00:38:45.470]
mentioned so it gives me section titles
[00:38:48.020]
but then also where it appears in the
[00:38:49.490]
text. So I can jump to those sections so
[00:38:54.290]
I go to Diagnosis and Testing. But as
[00:39:01.190]
you can
[00:39:01.710]
everything just hinges on your vehicle
[00:39:04.080]
and then it's a very point-and-click
[00:39:05.430]
type tool so you work with the manual
[00:39:09.560]
almost like you would with the print, you
[00:39:11.700]
Know, using a Table Of Contents but of
[00:39:13.380]
Course, that search feature is
[00:39:15.150]
something really handy and something you
[00:39:16.560]
wouldn't have in the book. So hopefully a
[00:39:21.150]
pretty easy resource to pick up; it's a
[00:39:23.339]
great one, of course, to reach out and let
[00:39:25.859]
folks know you have. Certainly if you
[00:39:29.640]
have folks who come in looking for the
[00:39:33.000]
print versions, you're definitely going
[00:39:34.349]
to want to share this this resource but
[00:39:37.320]
it's also a good database you know,
[00:39:39.119]
right now, and when the weather's
[00:39:41.310]
nice here in Buffalo, New York where
[00:39:43.080]
I live, we actually have several
[00:39:44.910]
places around that have a car cruise
[00:39:47.070]
night and it might be good to go
[00:39:49.200]
to the
[00:39:51.180]
cruise night, send someone from the library and hand
[00:39:52.560]
out some bookmarks or something letting
[00:39:54.030]
folks know about Chilton being available.
[00:39:55.470]
Because again, for things like classic
[00:39:58.020]
Cars, you'll see if we look at that year
[00:40:00.119]
Dropbox, this goes back pretty far. So we
[00:40:03.960]
can pull say 1951 and take a look at
[00:40:08.400]
Chevy, see what we've got here. So you
[00:40:11.940]
Know, folks may be able to you know, work
[00:40:15.240]
on their restorations. So just use that
[00:40:18.770]
select a vehicle tool, you can see it
[00:40:22.320]
looks at how far back do we go so looks
[00:40:24.390]
like 1940. So see what's available here!
[00:40:31.730]
So great resource! All right so let's
[00:40:36.089]
wrap up and let you know where you can
[00:40:37.290]
go after today when you need help. Oh
[00:40:40.550]
there was the example, sorry folks, I
[00:40:43.020]
forgot to show this. So we looked up our
[00:40:44.760]
2008 Ford Explorer so again send it any
[00:40:48.570]
questions you may have or anything else
[00:40:50.070]
you'd like to see
[00:40:51.030]
but after today where do you go for help?
[00:40:54.030]
When you start using these resources
[00:40:55.560]
more when school goes back in session
[00:40:58.280]
and you're looking for help, there are
[00:41:00.420]
lots of places you can go at Gale, of
[00:41:02.070]
Course, you've got great support at TexShare
[00:41:03.750]
so call on them as well. I'm your
[00:41:06.540]
trainer - feel free to get in touch with
[00:41:07.830]
me, lots of good stuff on our support
[00:41:10.440]
site for the databases: tutorials,
[00:41:13.550]
resource guides,
[00:41:15.860]
you can sign up for other webinars of
[00:41:18.410]
Course, lots of tech help, the
[00:41:20.600]
general support site has lots of good
[00:41:22.520]
Information. We're getting ready to link
[00:41:24.770]
some of it from the TexShare specific
[00:41:27.440]
support site - and then a good person to
[00:41:30.620]
be aware of at Gale is your Customer
[00:41:32.210]
Success Manager. This is someone at Gale
[00:41:35.420]
who is dedicated to your success with
[00:41:37.640]
the resources; you have a team basically,
[00:41:42.710]
at Gale, backing you up and your Customer
[00:41:44.750]
Success Manager is just one of those
[00:41:47.000]
folks and they're a good person to go to
[00:41:49.250]
when you're not sure where else to go
[00:41:51.490]
but they can help you with ideas around
[00:41:54.470]
promoting the resources, if you're at say
[00:41:57.080]
an academic institution and you want to
[00:41:59.000]
integrate the databases into your
[00:42:00.650]
discovery system, or maybe use a proxy
[00:42:03.260]
server for authentication and you need
[00:42:05.960]
help with that. Again, if you're in a
[00:42:07.700]
public library, how do you get folks
[00:42:09.260]
using these resources, they can help with
[00:42:10.970]
ideas along those lines. So, if you reach
[00:42:13.460]
out to this email address, they'll route
[00:42:15.140]
it to your Customer Success Manager who
[00:42:17.690]
do specialize by library type and
[00:42:20.350]
location so they're going to be familiar
[00:42:22.640]
with Texas they're going to be familiar
[00:42:24.170]
with TexShare and they're going to be
[00:42:26.300]
familiar with your library types so if
[00:42:27.980]
you're an academic institution you work
[00:42:29.630]
with one of our academic CSMs; if you're
[00:42:31.940]
in a public library you work with one of the
[00:42:33.140]
public CSMs. And then of course, our tech
[00:42:36.140]
Support is available 24 hours a day seven
[00:42:38.540]
days a week so if you have trouble
[00:42:40.190]
accessing the resources, you have a
[00:42:42.200]
question about the bookmark, anything
[00:42:44.690]
like that, reach out to Gale tech support
[00:42:46.850]
and they're there for you as well. So
[00:42:50.890]
lots of great support for you at Gale
[00:42:53.570]
and TexShare! Don't suffer in silence;
[00:42:55.880]
we want to hear from you when you need
[00:42:58.430]
us! So I think that's everything I wanted
[00:43:01.430]
to cover with you all today. I'm gonna
[00:43:03.080]
stick around and leave the webinar open
[00:43:04.970]
and see if any questions come up but if
[00:43:07.070]
you're all set, thanks for tuning in
[00:43:08.870]
today and hope to catch on another
[00:43:11.090]
session down the road! Have a great rest
[00:43:13.010]
of the week!
Welcome folks, this is Stacey Knibloe, your
[00:00:04.640]
Gale trainer! Glad to be with you
[00:00:06.680]
virtually this afternoon to take a look
[00:00:08.750]
at the new Gale resources coming to you
[00:00:10.820]
from TexShare. We are going to give you,
[00:00:14.930]
of course, an overview of each of the new
[00:00:16.699]
resources: Opposing Viewpoints In Context
[00:00:18.890]
and ChiltonLibrary, and dive in and give
[00:00:22.339]
you a live demonstration of both, share
[00:00:24.259]
some best practices, and show off the
[00:00:26.749]
resources a bit. We're also going to
[00:00:28.999]
share where you can find support for
[00:00:30.650]
each, you know, getting your access set up,
[00:00:33.680]
things like that. Feel free to
[00:00:37.790]
have me go down another path as well if
[00:00:39.980]
there's something else you'd like
[00:00:40.850]
covered this afternoon. Do let me know
[00:00:43.280]
through the chat or the questions tool
[00:00:45.200]
there over on the right. So, I think we're
[00:00:48.680]
ready to dive in and again interrupt any
[00:00:51.320]
time with questions or feedback within
[00:00:54.170]
our webinar tools. So first up
[00:00:59.660]
we want to show you where you can get
[00:01:00.740]
support for these two new resources as
[00:01:03.530]
well as all your existing Gale resources
[00:01:06.020]
that come to you through TexShare and
[00:01:07.640]
we've set up a specific support site for
[00:01:10.399]
that purpose. You can get your access
[00:01:13.249]
URLs. If you aren't already linking to
[00:01:15.710]
the two new TexShare
[00:01:18.770]
resources from Gale you're going
[00:01:20.899]
to be able to get your access URL at www.
[00:01:25.369]
galesupport.com/texshare. You'll
[00:01:29.810]
also find the database icons, support
[00:01:33.740]
materials, the training materials should
[00:01:35.749]
be added there shortly as well as some
[00:01:38.450]
other tools. So, we're going to go out
[00:01:39.859]
briefly and take a look at that site so
[00:01:41.689]
I can show you where to find your access
[00:01:43.520]
URLs. That's kind of been the most
[00:01:45.409]
important question lately so from the
[00:01:49.520]
Gale TexShare support site, you'll see
[00:01:52.490]
it's actually the very first item on the
[00:01:55.369]
page. The first icon here links URLs, Gale
[00:01:58.459]
Pages and so on - kind of all the tech
[00:02:01.189]
information lives right there.
[00:02:02.990]
So, let's go ahead and dive into it. Now
[00:02:07.249]
the first thing that you need to find is
[00:02:08.810]
your library. Every library has unique URLs
[00:02:12.010]
to access
[00:02:13.240]
the databases and we identify you by
[00:02:15.100]
your library so if I am with the Fort
[00:02:18.340]
Worth Public Library or, whoops I've
[00:02:21.400]
typed a little too much there, I can
[00:02:25.180]
select and it's going to generate the
[00:02:28.240]
URLs for all of my TexShare databases
[00:02:30.850]
from Gale as well as share what my
[00:02:33.520]
location ID is, which you may need for
[00:02:36.760]
other things as well. So that's always a
[00:02:38.470]
good little bit of code to have
[00:02:40.120]
available. So, these URLs will get you
[00:02:43.000]
directly into the resources and it's a nice
[00:02:46.330]
easy way for you to put yourselves or, of
[00:02:48.790]
course, your users into them. So that's
[00:02:52.240]
really what I wanted to show you on the
[00:02:53.830]
support site. Again, feel free to ask
[00:02:55.720]
questions if there's something else
[00:02:57.010]
you'd like to see there but that's kind
[00:02:58.930]
of the most important thing. We want to
[00:03:00.310]
make sure you've got your access set up
[00:03:01.690]
to these two new resources. Right now,
[00:03:05.410]
let's get onto those resources! So the
[00:03:08.500]
first one we're going to talk about is
[00:03:09.670]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context - this is a
[00:03:12.310]
database that Gale has put out for
[00:03:15.100]
several years, it's probably our most
[00:03:16.930]
popular database at Gale. It's based on a
[00:03:20.560]
print series we publish called
[00:03:22.360]
Opposing Viewpoints so you may be
[00:03:24.010]
familiar with that. Opposing Viewpoints
[00:03:27.850]
In Context takes a look at all the
[00:03:30.430]
various arguments within issues facing
[00:03:33.250]
our world today. It has current content
[00:03:37.870]
and you'll find it's a great place, kind
[00:03:40.720]
of a safe place, to do research into
[00:03:43.150]
these issues that are debated and
[00:03:45.100]
discussed on the news, online, on our
[00:03:48.040]
friends' Facebook pages, this is a great
[00:03:50.560]
place to get facts, develop your own
[00:03:52.540]
opinion, try to see things from another
[00:03:54.970]
point of view. Within Opposing Viewpoints
[00:03:58.090]
In Context you have, of course, these
[00:03:59.770]
viewpoint essays but there's also a lot
[00:04:02.350]
of reference content. There's current
[00:04:04.270]
periodicals, there's multimedia, that can
[00:04:07.330]
help round out the issue and also look
[00:04:10.240]
at the history behind it. So, we are
[00:04:13.540]
going to dive into it! It is one of the
[00:04:16.209]
databases that uses, kind of our standard
[00:04:18.370]
In Context interface so we hope, you'll
[00:04:21.910]
be the best judges, but we hope that it's
[00:04:23.620]
very easy to navigate and find what you
[00:04:25.630]
need. So, I'll be showing
[00:04:27.280]
some of the tools you can expect to find
[00:04:30.010]
within the resource as well as
[00:04:31.270]
highlighting the content as we go
[00:04:32.980]
through so to get us started I thought
[00:04:36.550]
we might find a reason for the library
[00:04:40.000]
maybe using Opposing Viewpoints In
[00:04:42.100]
Context. Certainly, it's always going to
[00:04:44.350]
be a great tool for, you know, support for
[00:04:47.380]
kids coming into the library doing
[00:04:48.790]
homework; for, you know, classroom tools in
[00:04:52.480]
in your academic institution and just, you
[00:04:56.800]
know, researching what you're
[00:04:58.090]
hearing on the news but I thought we
[00:04:59.650]
might look. There's been a lot of
[00:05:01.090]
discussion over the last couple of years
[00:05:03.040]
about emotional support animals and
[00:05:04.990]
libraries are trying to decide how to
[00:05:07.000]
handle those as well so let's see what
[00:05:08.919]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context can do
[00:05:10.510]
for us. So, I have gone ahead and logged
[00:05:14.590]
into Opposing Viewpoints In Context
[00:05:16.510]
already and before I start searching I
[00:05:18.880]
want to just talk a little bit about
[00:05:20.200]
what we have here on the home page. The
[00:05:22.810]
home page is intended to give the user
[00:05:25.330]
kind of a little information about what
[00:05:28.600]
they're using as well as engage them. So
[00:05:31.540]
the home page always in our databases
[00:05:34.150]
will always have a search up here in the
[00:05:37.540]
banner; that's going to follow us as we
[00:05:39.100]
go through the database so you can just
[00:05:40.479]
dive right in with whatever you're
[00:05:42.160]
looking for. You also have the ability to
[00:05:46.120]
kind of browse around and I like this
[00:05:49.120]
- browsing in the library is
[00:05:50.979]
important - you go to the shelf and you
[00:05:52.660]
find the book you wanted, and you pick up
[00:05:54.100]
two or three others because they look
[00:05:55.600]
good as well. We're going to do some good old
[00:05:58.000]
electronic browsing today with Opposing
[00:06:00.250]
Viewpoints In Context - this shows off
[00:06:03.430]
some of the topics that are available in
[00:06:05.320]
the database; it also though informs the
[00:06:08.050]
user that this is the type of content
[00:06:09.700]
they can expect to find. So, it's
[00:06:12.340]
informative as well and what's behind
[00:06:15.010]
each of the items listed here on this
[00:06:17.380]
page (and then many more) are actually -
[00:06:21.390]
I'm going to select cloud computing - a
[00:06:23.919]
homepage for that topic. So, with our In
[00:06:28.270]
Context databases we've kind of created
[00:06:31.539]
this topic page, these topic pages for
[00:06:35.280]
popular issues or well-studied issues in
[00:06:38.200]
the database and it's a good jumping-off
[00:06:41.139]
point when you're starting your research.
[00:06:42.759]
It's also a good place to get familiar
[00:06:44.860]
with your topics because right off
[00:06:46.509]
the bat, we share with you what cloud
[00:06:48.699]
computing is so if it's not a topic you're
[00:06:50.860]
that familiar with, right away you get an
[00:06:52.779]
overview essay - just the beginning of it
[00:06:54.639]
here and then you click into read more.
[00:06:56.080]
That's an unbiased article just kind of telling us
[00:06:58.900]
what cloud computing is but then you'll
[00:07:00.610]
notice we get a little hint over here to
[00:07:02.349]
the right the On This Page section gives
[00:07:05.199]
us an idea if we scroll down a bit we're
[00:07:07.060]
gonna see a lot more content and, of
[00:07:10.479]
course, first up the content that
[00:07:12.340]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context is so
[00:07:14.139]
known for: The Viewpoint Essays. So, we're
[00:07:17.439]
going to be spending a lot of time on
[00:07:18.639]
those so I'm going to come back there. We
[00:07:20.949]
also, though again have other types of
[00:07:23.110]
data here. So, Gale is a publisher; we've got
[00:07:25.210]
a lot of our own reference content here,
[00:07:27.129]
we have statistics from some of our
[00:07:29.259]
sources, we have a lot of multimedia
[00:07:31.449]
content - mostly coming from news
[00:07:33.189]
organizations - we have magazines, academic
[00:07:36.310]
journals, news articles, recommended
[00:07:40.240]
websites and then depending on your
[00:07:41.770]
topic maybe primary sources and the
[00:07:44.499]
like. So, lots of different types of
[00:07:46.060]
sources all in one place; it's kind of a
[00:07:47.800]
one-stop shopping.
[00:07:49.000]
You'll also find down at the bottom of
[00:07:51.550]
the page it can point you to other
[00:07:53.099]
sources within the database as well -
[00:07:55.599]
related topics so again you know this
[00:07:59.080]
browse ability is important in the
[00:08:00.939]
resources. We want to show folks around
[00:08:02.529]
and maybe lead them to other paths, other
[00:08:04.149]
topics as needed, I think, so these pages
[00:08:08.550]
we call them portal pages, we call them
[00:08:11.229]
topic pages, lots of different names for
[00:08:14.289]
them; you actually can get a list of all
[00:08:16.870]
these pages that we've created here in
[00:08:18.849]
the upper left-hand corner and the
[00:08:21.399]
bottom bar of the browser, or sorry not
[00:08:23.379]
browser. the banner you'll see there's a
[00:08:25.870]
Browse Issues link and what this will do
[00:08:28.509]
is show you all of the issue pages, topic
[00:08:34.240]
pages, portal pages that we've created.
[00:08:36.690]
This is also again a good way to just
[00:08:39.490]
kind of get an idea of the scope of the
[00:08:40.959]
database we're talking about - social
[00:08:42.640]
issues, hot-button issues, the types of
[00:08:44.440]
things we hear on the news, and again on
[00:08:46.839]
our friends Facebook pages so you can
[00:08:50.079]
get an idea of the coverage of this here
[00:08:52.720]
and you'll notice we've got a notation
[00:08:54.850]
if something has been recently updated.
[00:08:56.670]
Now technically the database is updated
[00:08:59.649]
every day, we add new news articles
[00:09:01.690]
magazines, journals those go in every day
[00:09:03.759]
but the updated note we only include
[00:09:07.180]
when we've updated a significant portion
[00:09:08.980]
of the reference, the viewpoints, those
[00:09:11.230]
types of things so you'll see a note for
[00:09:13.569]
that. You'll also see a new tag for new
[00:09:17.290]
items and there we can see our service
[00:09:19.180]
and emotional support animals. So again
[00:09:21.339]
this is something that's been coming up.
[00:09:22.690]
We created a portal page for it so let's
[00:09:24.579]
go ahead and take a look now the portal
[00:09:30.399]
page. Again, has that similar layout that
[00:09:32.589]
we just saw for cloud computing so right
[00:09:34.329]
off the bat we get an overview essay on
[00:09:36.190]
the topic but we're looking for opinions.
[00:09:38.920]
Usually when we're in Opposing
[00:09:40.420]
Viewpoints In Context so let's take a
[00:09:42.069]
look at these Viewpoint Essays. So, you'll
[00:09:44.889]
notice that we have a Featured
[00:09:47.230]
Viewpoints and a Viewpoints content
[00:09:50.009]
bucket, we call them and the Featured
[00:09:52.779]
Viewpoints are something our editors
[00:09:54.490]
have hand selected and included there
[00:09:56.380]
and if we pop in you can see each of the
[00:10:01.449]
essays are labeled as, or I should say they
[00:10:04.870]
are titled to give you the opinion of
[00:10:07.300]
what their author is thinking. All right
[00:10:11.620]
so those have been hand selected; some of
[00:10:13.630]
them are coming from our Opposing
[00:10:15.459]
Viewpoints series, some could come from
[00:10:16.959]
At Issues. We have a few different
[00:10:19.420]
series that do this. We also though, in
[00:10:21.310]
Featured Viewpoints, pull other articles
[00:10:23.170]
so, you can see some things coming from
[00:10:24.339]
current periodicals, as well, these again
[00:10:28.000]
are hand selected by our editors so if
[00:10:30.130]
you just want to kind of point to one
[00:10:31.899]
Source,
[00:10:32.980]
I shouldn't say source, one content
[00:10:35.110]
bucket rather, the Featured Viewpoints might be
[00:10:37.209]
a good place to get started. The
[00:10:41.130]
Viewpoints content bucket here (or
[00:10:43.930]
content type) is pulling all of the
[00:10:46.839]
Viewpoint Essays from our viewpoint
[00:10:49.149]
series so again Opposing Viewpoints, At
[00:10:54.310]
Issues, Current Controversies, and the
[00:10:57.160]
Like; we pull from those sources as well
[00:11:00.279]
as anything that may have been added to
[00:11:03.370]
the database and then is going to come
[00:11:04.720]
later in one of our print series.
[00:11:07.020]
So again, each of the Viewpoints tell you
[00:11:09.990]
right at the results here what the
[00:11:11.670]
opinion of the author is, and we do that
[00:11:15.480]
because you may notice we don't label
[00:11:17.370]
them pro or con or opinion A, opinion B.
[00:11:21.029]
It's all about critical thinking in this
[00:11:24.630]
database so, you know, the user can see
[00:11:27.450]
what the opinion of the of the author is
[00:11:28.980]
but we don't want to kind of handhold
[00:11:30.450]
them and not every issue breaks
[00:11:33.300]
down into an easy pro/con type approach.
[00:11:36.089]
So, we'll see more of those as we come
[00:11:38.700]
into the database. So if we go ahead and
[00:11:42.120]
jump into an entry you'll see each
[00:11:47.610]
article starts with this article
[00:11:49.050]
commentary and we've got it on a
[00:11:50.700]
different background you can see - it's
[00:11:52.410]
highlighted in blue here because we want
[00:11:54.870]
it to jump out at the user. What we've
[00:11:57.180]
done with Opposing Viewpoints In Context
[00:12:00.390]
and again, the print series that is
[00:12:02.010]
making it up is, rather than have our
[00:12:04.529]
editors just write us an article with an
[00:12:07.110]
opinion in it, we went out and looked for
[00:12:09.570]
people who are already writing on the
[00:12:11.430]
Topic, are knowledgeable on the topic, and
[00:12:13.589]
got permission to republish their essays
[00:12:17.120]
or articles. It is important that we're
[00:12:21.899]
getting content from folks who know what
[00:12:23.490]
they're talking about; we don't just want
[00:12:24.839]
kind of a standard article that was
[00:12:28.649]
written expressly for a viewpoint
[00:12:30.270]
Opinion. So, that's what the article
[00:12:32.820]
commentary is introducing you you to - this
[00:12:34.680]
person who wrote the article and then it
[00:12:36.990]
also, is to jumpstart critical thinking in
[00:12:39.060]
our readers. “As you read, consider the
[00:12:41.490]
following questions” so we want people to think
[00:12:44.160]
critically about these issues; we're
[00:12:46.200]
reading someone else's opinion to help
[00:12:47.940]
develop our own or make our own argument.
[00:12:50.520]
These questions are going to help us do
[00:12:52.680]
that and you can see at the bottom of
[00:12:55.110]
every article we show our Source
[00:12:58.680]
Citation and this isn't unusual; we do it
[00:13:00.870]
in all of our Gale resources so it’s a great
[00:13:04.110]
way for people to be able to just copy
[00:13:05.579]
and paste and say include in their
[00:13:07.050]
Bibliography. But what I like to point
[00:13:09.089]
out about these is you see where they
[00:13:10.980]
originally were published first and what
[00:13:13.380]
the original title was; we change those
[00:13:15.240]
titles so that the opinion is clearly
[00:13:19.260]
stated in the
[00:13:20.400]
title for our results list but you can
[00:13:23.190]
see what the original title was, where it
[00:13:24.810]
originally appeared so you get a couple
[00:13:26.910]
levels of citation here with the
[00:13:28.860]
Viewpoint Essays. So we've got several
[00:13:33.660]
opinions on this issue and in
[00:13:36.420]
the viewpoints in the Featured
[00:13:37.620]
Viewpoints but if we go out, remember
[00:13:39.360]
we've also got lots of other content. So
[00:13:42.150]
certainly, this has been a topic that's
[00:13:43.470]
been in the news, especially over the
[00:13:45.780]
last few months or so. There's been some
[00:13:48.620]
bigger stories around folks using Emotional Support Animals.
[00:13:51.810]
A lot of them (I read about because I
[00:13:53.790]
travel all the time) having to do with
[00:13:55.200]
bringing animals on planes and things
[00:13:56.880]
like that so I've got lots of news
[00:13:58.950]
Articles, academic journals into the
[00:14:02.250]
study as well. So we've got a lot of
[00:14:06.450]
content to round out an argument if
[00:14:08.550]
that's what you're trying to make but
[00:14:10.650]
then also, as I mentioned, the
[00:14:11.970]
library could use this the reference,
[00:14:13.710]
content out those journals, the
[00:14:16.710]
magazines and news and such to help make
[00:14:19.080]
up their own policy. See what other
[00:14:20.700]
people are doing so kind of an
[00:14:23.610]
interesting topic here. Now, of course,
[00:14:26.160]
we're going to have the classics as well,
[00:14:27.870]
and that's one of the things I always
[00:14:29.580]
like to show off in Opposing Viewpoints
[00:14:31.260]
In Context. You know the death penalty
[00:14:35.880]
has been a topic for debate
[00:14:40.250]
since way back when I was in school. We
[00:14:43.110]
did a mock debate about it. I know it's
[00:14:44.880]
still around so I wanted to show you
[00:14:46.320]
what we do with those topics as
[00:14:48.450]
well. So you'll notice, let me point out
[00:14:51.540]
I'm just gonna circle it here to kind of
[00:14:52.950]
call it out, and this is a more
[00:14:55.980]
traditional result screen - it hasn't
[00:14:57.720]
taken us directly to a portal page but I
[00:15:00.420]
wanted to point out the Viewpoint Essays.
[00:15:02.130]
There are a hundred and eighty-three and
[00:15:04.520]
I know that number is high but what I
[00:15:07.590]
want to point out about it; if we jump in
[00:15:09.770]
you'll see one of the things we do in
[00:15:13.320]
our databases is sort by relevance.
[00:15:15.510]
Now that's pushing very relevant
[00:15:19.530]
articles up to the top of my results
[00:15:21.360]
list but you'll notice some of them are
[00:15:23.340]
a little older 2002, 2015, 2005
[00:15:30.870]
and so on. One of the interesting
[00:15:33.930]
things
[00:15:34.230]
about Opposing Viewpoints In Context is
[00:15:36.380]
this is a topic that we've covered
[00:15:38.970]
several times in our series and in other
[00:15:42.330]
databases what we do is cycle out; we
[00:15:44.760]
take out the old edition and put in the
[00:15:46.920]
new. In Opposing Viewpoints In Context, we
[00:15:49.650]
keep the older editions - laws change,
[00:15:52.380]
public opinion changes, and we want the
[00:15:55.020]
Viewpoint Essays to reflect how that has
[00:15:57.060]
happened throughout time so it's an
[00:16:00.090]
interesting way to look at a topic.
[00:16:02.420]
Again, you know, a lot of these issues can
[00:16:05.250]
break down into kind of a pro/con but
[00:16:07.410]
one of the other great things about
[00:16:08.610]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context is it is
[00:16:11.930]
uncovering the grey within these topics.
[00:16:15.030]
So, you know, certainly they're going to
[00:16:17.550]
be essays where it's looking at the
[00:16:20.040]
death penalty from “yes, we should have it”/
[00:16:21.630]
“no, we shouldn't have it” but then it also
[00:16:23.670]
takes a look at “well maybe it's okay but
[00:16:26.610]
only certain types” or “how do we handle
[00:16:29.340]
it for this type of population” and that
[00:16:31.500]
type of thing. So it really opens up the
[00:16:34.200]
discussion on the topic and digs much
[00:16:36.030]
deeper than a strictly pro/con point of
[00:16:38.250]
View. So the Viewpoint Essays really
[00:16:42.030]
uncover things like that and that's why
[00:16:45.480]
again, let me just go back to browse
[00:16:46.920]
issues here for a second,
[00:16:48.780]
you're gonna find a lot of issues in
[00:16:50.850]
here that, right off the bat, you may not
[00:16:52.620]
think “Well, what's debatable about that?”
[00:16:55.380]
So, for example, let me (it's
[00:16:59.130]
just alphabetical order here) let me find
[00:17:00.660]
us...
[00:17:03.320]
scrolling down...endangered species. So
[00:17:06.480]
nobody is for endangered species but
[00:17:10.280]
there are issues within it so if
[00:17:13.650]
we take a look at those, a few points
[00:17:15.360]
that it offers, you kind of uncover the
[00:17:18.180]
discussion within endangered species. So
[00:17:20.520]
how exactly to combat this problem - are
[00:17:23.580]
we spending too much money on it, that
[00:17:25.380]
type of thing. So you have these issues
[00:17:29.340]
where maybe, right off the bat, you don't
[00:17:31.350]
know what the argument might be
[00:17:33.240]
but then as you get into the Viewpoints
[00:17:35.280]
you can see how it changes. So I
[00:17:41.090]
mentioned the dates, let me go
[00:17:43.410]
back and cover something I meant to
[00:17:45.180]
mention. We were looking at those
[00:17:46.200]
Results; we
[00:17:47.640]
do sort by relevance but you can change
[00:17:51.360]
that. So if
[00:17:53.520]
looking at those death penalty results, I
[00:17:55.290]
could sort instead by date if that were
[00:17:59.370]
important. I can choose to sort by newest
[00:18:01.440]
and push those articles that are more
[00:18:04.140]
recently published right to the top of
[00:18:05.580]
my list. So you always have that option.
[00:18:07.970]
I'm just going to take a quick pause
[00:18:10.170]
Here; make sure haven't missed anything
[00:18:11.460]
in the questions or can’t. Not so far but
[00:18:14.490]
feel free to send them on in. So let's go
[00:18:17.910]
ahead and take a look - I'm just going to
[00:18:19.290]
jump into one of these entries, talk a
[00:18:20.880]
little bit more about what you can do
[00:18:22.290]
with this content. So again, here's
[00:18:24.720]
another essay and there's that article
[00:18:26.580]
commentary getting highlighted and then
[00:18:28.710]
the actual article itself. Now you have a
[00:18:31.890]
lot of tools, a lot of things you can do
[00:18:33.960]
with the articles you find in Gale
[00:18:35.970]
databases. So, if you've been using them, you
[00:18:38.910]
know some of them, this look these will
[00:18:40.380]
be a little bit of a repeat but I do
[00:18:41.850]
want to highlight a couple that I
[00:18:44.190]
think will come in really handy. So
[00:18:47.510]
probably the most popular feature (I
[00:18:49.920]
touched on briefly before) the Source
[00:18:52.050]
Citation we have there at the bottom of
[00:18:54.000]
the page. Now that is an MLA style
[00:18:57.510]
citation so if I'm writing a paper and
[00:18:59.700]
I'm turning this in to my professor and
[00:19:01.890]
they use MLA style then I am good to go!
[00:19:04.350]
I can copy and paste that right into my
[00:19:05.790]
Bibliography. However, let's say my
[00:19:08.160]
professor likes APA - well then, I have the
[00:19:14.520]
citation tools here in our Tools menu.
[00:19:16.830]
The very first button because again, it
[00:19:19.050]
is the most popular one. So the citation
[00:19:22.770]
tools will let me change this. Say I need
[00:19:25.530]
APA, I can switch right over to APA; say I
[00:19:28.560]
need Chicago, I can select and copy it
[00:19:32.760]
right into my bibliography. Or a lot of
[00:19:36.300]
our academic institutions have tools
[00:19:38.520]
like ProCite and things like that; you
[00:19:43.620]
can export your citations out to Pro
[00:19:47.760]
Cite, EasyBib, and EndNote - all of these items.
[00:19:50.490]
We're going to talk about the Google and
[00:19:52.170]
OneDrive options in a minute but you can
[00:19:55.230]
we work with those tools and you can
[00:19:56.790]
just export the content right out. We're
[00:19:58.920]
also Zotero compliant so if you have
[00:20:00.900]
that
[00:20:01.280]
added to your browser you can take
[00:20:04.490]
advantage of Zotero as well. So
[00:20:07.220]
every article is going to have that
[00:20:08.690]
feature regardless of whether you're in
[00:20:10.130]
a viewpoint essay or a newspaper article.
[00:20:13.900]
You also have the ability to markup the
[00:20:18.110]
content you find. So back when I was in
[00:20:21.170]
School, I printed out everything or made
[00:20:23.330]
photocopies and then I would go through
[00:20:26.090]
with a highlighter marker and mark up
[00:20:28.190]
the article and make notes in the
[00:20:29.600]
margins. You can actually do that within
[00:20:32.240]
the database; you click and drag as if
[00:20:37.310]
you're gonna copy and when you're done,
[00:20:40.300]
pops open the Highlights and Notes bar!
[00:20:43.250]
Now if I were on a touchscreen, I would
[00:20:45.860]
just touch the first word and the last
[00:20:47.900]
word on the screen and it would
[00:20:50.420]
highlight that what's within those
[00:20:52.910]
Sets. So highlight - I can use whatever
[00:20:56.120]
color marker I like here, maybe I'm going
[00:20:57.890]
to use yellow for notes I want to check
[00:21:03.940]
so I want to look up the Endangered
[00:21:06.110]
Species Acto of 1973 so I'm
[00:21:08.210]
highlighting this, make sure to click
[00:21:10.970]
Save. And you can continue to mark up the
[00:21:14.540]
article throughout your reading of it.
[00:21:18.620]
Add other notes, you can just continue to
[00:21:25.580]
mark up the article. Now this isn't
[00:21:30.200]
enough.
[00:21:30.620]
I've marked it up but what do I do now?
[00:21:34.430]
This Highlights and Notes feature is
[00:21:36.410]
session dependent so if I close my
[00:21:38.840]
browser right now,
[00:21:40.130]
it's gonna close out the database and
[00:21:42.910]
those Highlights and Notes are gone! Okay?
[00:21:45.830]
I need to take them with me before I
[00:21:47.960]
leave and I do that the same way I do
[00:21:50.600]
in any database - you use what we call the
[00:21:53.780]
retrieval tools. Let me use my little
[00:21:56.450]
highlighter here -
[00:22:00.710]
to Google Drive or OneDrive, Print, Email,
[00:22:02.990]
or Download - all of those are going to
[00:22:05.179]
take the article and your Highlights and
[00:22:07.610]
Notes. Google Drive has become, far and
[00:22:13.789]
Away, the most popular option so I'm
[00:22:15.590]
going to use that as my example. So you
[00:22:19.370]
want to be logged into your Google
[00:22:20.630]
account; if you're not, it would just
[00:22:21.860]
prompt you to log in right then. I've
[00:22:24.590]
gone ahead and done that just to save us
[00:22:26.539]
a little time and we get a confirmation
[00:22:28.789]
it was sent to Google Drive.
[00:22:30.500]
Well, let's go find it! Now what we do - and
[00:22:34.640]
this happens automatically, the user
[00:22:36.260]
doesn't have to do anything - is we create
[00:22:38.870]
a folder named after the database you
[00:22:42.770]
were using so Opposing Viewpoints In
[00:22:44.899]
Context happens automatically and then
[00:22:48.529]
we take the article and we turn it into
[00:22:52.309]
a Google Doc. Now if I'd done this in
[00:22:54.500]
Microsoft OneDrive we'd turn it into a
[00:22:56.779]
Word Online document and, there's our
[00:22:59.809]
article. It's pulled over all of the
[00:23:02.630]
commentary, of course, and there are my
[00:23:05.630]
highlights. And you can see it even uses the
[00:23:07.640]
colors that I indicated in the database
[00:23:10.039]
and at the bottom, we can see it pulled
[00:23:13.010]
over the source citation and it's
[00:23:15.799]
reprinted the highlights and included my
[00:23:18.230]
notes. This will all happen the same if
[00:23:21.980]
you print or email as well. Your
[00:23:25.010]
highlights and notes just appear at the
[00:23:26.510]
Bottom. The great thing though about
[00:23:29.240]
having this in Google Drive is now it's
[00:23:31.700]
available to me anytime, anywhere, from
[00:23:34.070]
any device - it lives in the cloud now. I
[00:23:37.809]
can use all of Google’s capabilities here:
[00:23:41.840]
I can edit this document, I can change
[00:23:44.630]
the format, I can share it, whatever you'd
[00:23:47.570]
normally do with a Google Doc. There's no
[00:23:50.059]
Digital Rights Management (DRM) here so it's
[00:23:51.890]
not going to disappear from my Google
[00:23:53.750]
Drive in a week or two. It's going to be
[00:23:55.640]
there until I choose to delete it. I can
[00:23:59.120]
move it around - if I want to move this to
[00:24:01.250]
my endangered-species folder I can do
[00:24:03.649]
that. Once it's here, it's yours to do
[00:24:06.500]
with as you like so great way to keep
[00:24:10.279]
track of your content and it's a tool
[00:24:12.380]
that really fits into your users’
[00:24:14.419]
workflow - these are things they're
[00:24:16.549]
already using so why not make our
[00:24:19.190]
databases part of their workflow as well?
[00:24:22.779]
So, you'll see that option for every
[00:24:25.429]
article and of course, we've got the old
[00:24:27.649]
standbys - printing and emailing if
[00:24:29.629]
folks prefer that, they're gonna
[00:24:31.730]
get their highlights and notes that way.
[00:24:33.139]
Just now a couple tools to help you reach
[00:24:37.039]
more users. You'll notice we have a
[00:24:39.080]
listen button. Now unfortunately, you
[00:24:41.119]
can't hear it on the other end of your
[00:24:43.309]
of the webinar but I'll have you trust
[00:24:45.590]
me,it's going to be going in my
[00:24:47.570]
Headphones. It's gonna read the
[00:24:49.909]
article to you; it starts with the title,
[00:24:52.159]
you can see it's highlighting as it's
[00:24:53.840]
Reading. I'm gonna go ahead and pause it
[00:24:57.320]
so it's not talking to me. It's
[00:25:00.139]
gonna read the entire article. What I
[00:25:02.149]
like about it versus a screen reader is
[00:25:04.220]
it's not trying to read everything on
[00:25:06.080]
the page; it reads just the title of the
[00:25:08.119]
article then starts with the article so
[00:25:10.940]
really handy. There are some tools you
[00:25:12.769]
can use within it to make it the settings
[00:25:15.289]
the way you like.
[00:25:17.649]
So, a great way to reach folks who are
[00:25:20.330]
maybe more auditory learners and than
[00:25:22.009]
visual folks with, of
[00:25:25.429]
Course, vision issues. It's a great tool!
[00:25:28.039]
You also have an on-demand language
[00:25:31.190]
translation - this article, and any of the
[00:25:35.299]
articles in Opposing Viewpoints In
[00:25:36.649]
Context, can be translated into almost 40
[00:25:39.350]
languages here and, it is a machine
[00:25:43.539]
translation and you'll get that note at
[00:25:45.559]
the top, but it's a great way again, to
[00:25:48.289]
reach more users so if they really
[00:25:49.759]
struggle with English and we have their
[00:25:51.799]
native language, it's a great way for
[00:25:53.090]
them to absorb the information. And you
[00:25:55.909]
notice the listen button has stuck
[00:25:57.320]
around so I could actually hear this in
[00:25:58.759]
Spanish too. So lots of languages to
[00:26:02.269]
choose from there; we added about 20 or
[00:26:07.639]
25 new ones just in the last few months.
[00:26:09.649]
So, we love to hear feedback on this - what
[00:26:12.830]
other languages you might like to see.
[00:26:14.330]
Feel free to let us know! So every
[00:26:18.919]
article is going to have these tools - you
[00:26:20.779]
can take advantage of them wherever you
[00:26:22.970]
like in the resource.
[00:26:25.549]
A couple more tools and then we're going
[00:26:27.919]
to move on to ChiltonLibrary. So let's
[00:26:30.860]
say we are discussing climate
[00:26:34.669]
change and I'll say for example, at a
[00:26:38.960]
public library maybe, we're having a
[00:26:40.460]
program around it and we want to help
[00:26:43.879]
inform folks and maybe even share
[00:26:46.249]
information with folks who aren't able
[00:26:47.809]
to attend. So big topic, you know, it's a
[00:26:54.460]
big topic of discussion with
[00:26:57.379]
different issues within it. Let's
[00:26:59.539]
say we want to give folks a look at what
[00:27:01.820]
the database can do for them around it.
[00:27:03.440]
So, there's of course, lots of good stuff
[00:27:06.619]
for us here on this portal page and
[00:27:08.330]
again, I mentioned it's a great
[00:27:09.470]
jumping-off point for folks to get more
[00:27:11.539]
familiar with the topic. Well, let's say I
[00:27:14.989]
want to put folks right here on the
[00:27:16.999]
Global Warming and Climate Change topic
[00:27:19.639]
page - that is easy to do with Gale’s
[00:27:23.210]
Bookmark feature! This Bookmark button in
[00:27:27.320]
the upper right-hand corner is going to
[00:27:29.720]
give you a persistent URL or PERL that
[00:27:35.389]
you can copy and paste right into a
[00:27:37.429]
Tweet from the library's account, onto a
[00:27:40.609]
link in a libguide, wherever you would
[00:27:43.549]
normally put a URL, these Bookmark URLs
[00:27:47.119]
can go! And what makes them special
[00:27:51.470]
is that they are persistent so they'll
[00:27:53.690]
always bring you back to the same place.
[00:27:55.429]
You'll always land on this Global
[00:27:56.869]
Warming and Climate Change page. Right
[00:27:59.330]
Now, that doesn't sound that unique; a lot
[00:28:01.399]
of URLs do that but
[00:28:02.749]
what takes this a step further is the
[00:28:05.629]
Bookmark URL jumps over authentication.
[00:28:10.269]
So, when you click on a link that is a
[00:28:12.859]
Bookmark link, it doesn't stop and ask
[00:28:15.799]
you for your library card number or your
[00:28:18.649]
student ID number or anything like that.
[00:28:20.659]
It's just gonna let you into Opposing
[00:28:22.519]
Viewpoints In Context and take you to
[00:28:24.200]
the Global Warming and Climate Change
[00:28:25.369]
page. Now it doesn't let you into the
[00:28:28.249]
rest of the database; it doesn't just
[00:28:29.929]
completely open up the database. It only
[00:28:32.720]
takes you to the content that was linked
[00:28:34.460]
to so this can be a great tool for
[00:28:36.139]
reserved reading as well you know,
[00:28:38.210]
professors have articles
[00:28:39.500]
they want students to read for class or
[00:28:41.690]
again, thinking about your libguides you
[00:28:44.390]
don't have to link to just the portal
[00:28:45.800]
Pages; individual articles are available
[00:28:47.780]
for linking as well and you'll see as
[00:28:51.680]
you go into all of them, there's that
[00:28:54.440]
Bookmark up in the upper right hand
[00:28:56.780]
corner giving you the persistent URL so
[00:29:01.070]
this is a great way to draw people into
[00:29:04.160]
the database. To discover Opposing
[00:29:06.770]
Viewpoints In Context but also a way for
[00:29:10.100]
you to kind of put content in to the
[00:29:12.770]
classroom at your academic institution.
[00:29:15.200]
Again, for the library to tweet about and
[00:29:18.050]
maybe bring folks into the library
[00:29:19.970]
virtually to show off these resources. So
[00:29:23.110]
the bookmark is a really great way to
[00:29:26.170]
raise usage and awareness of the
[00:29:28.670]
resource and again, because of the
[00:29:31.340]
content that Opposing Viewpoints in
[00:29:33.140]
Context covers, again it's certainly
[00:29:35.960]
helpful for college students, you know,
[00:29:38.870]
high school students using the library
[00:29:41.240]
at the public library for homework help
[00:29:42.820]
but I think it's a great tool for adults
[00:29:45.320]
as well. You know it's always good to be
[00:29:47.030]
informed about an issue you feel
[00:29:48.680]
passionately about; it's good to try and
[00:29:50.960]
understand the other side of someone's
[00:29:52.850]
Arguments. This database can do that. The
[00:29:56.210]
other thing I like about it, is it gets
[00:29:57.860]
behind the issue. You know certainly you
[00:30:00.080]
can see what's being discussed today but
[00:30:02.660]
you get the background on these issues -
[00:30:04.610]
so how do we get where we are with this?
[00:30:06.640]
So, excellent resource; I think your users
[00:30:10.640]
will find it really helpful and again, it
[00:30:12.590]
is one of the most popular databases we
[00:30:14.570]
produce at Gale so we're thrilled that
[00:30:17.540]
you're able to access it via TexShare.
[00:30:21.220]
So that is a look at Opposing Viewpoints
[00:30:24.320]
In Context. Again use the questions or
[00:30:26.630]
chat tool if you'd like to send me any
[00:30:28.370]
questions or anything else you'd like me
[00:30:30.020]
to click here but I think we're ready to
[00:30:33.140]
take a look at your other new resource
[00:30:35.000]
as well. So, let me give you a, oh I'm
[00:30:39.980]
sorry before I do that, let me just
[00:30:41.810]
mention we also offer an Opposing
[00:30:45.080]
Viewpoints In Context Chrome extension.
[00:30:47.660]
So, this is for users who are using
[00:30:51.230]
Chrome as their browser.
[00:30:53.500]
You can install the Opposing Viewpoints
[00:30:56.690]
In Context extension from the Google
[00:30:59.120]
Chrome Store and what it will do, you can
[00:31:01.340]
see the big arrow pointing at it there,
[00:31:02.930]
is will integrate results from Opposing
[00:31:06.470]
Viewpoints In Context on your Google
[00:31:08.720]
search results page. Now there is some
[00:31:11.690]
setup involved; it does need to kind of
[00:31:14.120]
identify your library and we have help
[00:31:17.390]
files I'll send in my follow-up email
[00:31:19.510]
around how to set this up and there are
[00:31:21.980]
even ways to install it, kind of, across
[00:31:25.370]
your organization so if Chrome is a
[00:31:27.440]
popular browser at your institution and
[00:31:29.870]
say you want the Chrome extension on all
[00:31:32.120]
of the library computers, there are ways
[00:31:34.640]
to do that and we've got help for you to
[00:31:36.950]
do that. So it does involve a little
[00:31:38.450]
Setup; we won't look at it today, if
[00:31:40.760]
there's interest we can certainly host a
[00:31:42.830]
webinar all about the Chrome extension,
[00:31:44.090]
but it's a great way to promote library
[00:31:47.840]
resources alongside folks who are
[00:31:49.670]
already using Google. So really neat
[00:31:53.390]
Feature! Okay so on to ChiltonLibrary! So
[00:31:58.160]
when I was at the public library at the
[00:32:00.410]
reference desk, we could not keep the
[00:32:02.450]
Chilton manuals on the shelf! They were,
[00:32:06.650]
of course, big thick books with
[00:32:08.120]
tissue-thin paper; they didn't always
[00:32:10.940]
come back in the best shape because
[00:32:12.320]
maybe folks are, you know, laying down in
[00:32:13.910]
their driveway trying to get underneath
[00:32:15.470]
their car and read the Chilton manual at
[00:32:17.390]
the same time. So they were a tough tool
[00:32:20.030]
to keep on the shelf in the library. Now
[00:32:22.250]
you have access to all of this
[00:32:24.110]
do-it-yourself help from Chilton's for
[00:32:27.770]
your own repair and maintenance of your
[00:32:30.470]
vehicle and it's super simple to use.
[00:32:33.980]
We're going to take a look at it but
[00:32:35.990]
basically, you pick your car and then it
[00:32:38.210]
walks you through the repair manual,
[00:32:40.280]
the maintenance schedules, the bulletins
[00:32:42.890]
and recalls should it have any. There's
[00:32:45.020]
even test prep for the ASE test so if
[00:32:48.430]
anyone is pursuing car repair as a
[00:32:52.180]
Career,
[00:32:53.360]
there's test prep they can do in the
[00:32:54.890]
database as well. So this is a great
[00:32:57.920]
Resource, you know, for those folks who
[00:32:59.480]
want to save themselves a little money,
[00:33:00.830]
do their own repair, or, you know, just for
[00:33:02.780]
the car enthusiasts who likes to work on
[00:33:04.700]
their own vehicle. It is mobile responsive
[00:33:07.190]
so if they've, you know, brought it up on
[00:33:09.200]
their iPad while they're in the garage
[00:33:10.670]
trying to replace their battery or
[00:33:13.880]
something like that, they've got a nice,
[00:33:17.390]
easy resource to use!
[00:33:18.890]
So, it's updated frequently, adding new
[00:33:21.080]
cars all the time and of course, that's
[00:33:23.540]
important for the bulletins and recalls
[00:33:25.010]
as well. So very current resource! Well,
[00:33:28.160]
let's go ahead and take a look! So, let me
[00:33:32.510]
just log in here. So, this is going to
[00:33:39.410]
have a different look and feel.
[00:33:40.670]
Opposing Viewpoints In Context
[00:33:42.770]
is kind of a research database; Chilton
[00:33:45.050]
Library is a really a end user-built tool
[00:33:47.900]
for them to find help.
[00:33:51.230]
So the first thing you've got
[00:33:54.140]
to do is pick your vehicle; everything
[00:33:56.720]
hinges on that and you just use the
[00:33:59.600]
Vehicle Selector tool that appears here
[00:34:01.280]
on the homepage and then you'll see
[00:34:03.500]
there's a banner that follows us through
[00:34:06.830]
ChiltonLibrary so you can always come
[00:34:08.390]
back and select a new vehicle right from
[00:34:10.400]
the banner there. So we choose our year
[00:34:16.580]
and in this case, let's say we're looking
[00:34:19.250]
for a 2008 Ford Explorer and every
[00:34:23.330]
choice you make kind of filters the list
[00:34:25.190]
below so we only show the vehicles that
[00:34:28.640]
we have or the Make that we have for 2008
[00:34:31.550]
Vehicles, which is a lot of them and then
[00:34:34.790]
again, just narrows down so we need to
[00:34:36.260]
choose our Model and that's it! Click
[00:34:41.570]
Select and it's going to show whatever
[00:34:43.910]
we have for the vehicle. So mostly you
[00:34:47.480]
will find for all of the vehicles you're
[00:34:49.010]
gonna find a repair manual and for most
[00:34:51.260]
of them you'll find maintenance
[00:34:52.460]
schedules as well. As we start looking at
[00:34:54.500]
the much older cars say, the ones from
[00:34:56.419]
the 50s and the like, some of that stuff
[00:34:59.030]
isn't available but the repair manual
[00:35:01.880]
is really what this resource is about so
[00:35:03.950]
they're all going to have the repair
[00:35:05.210]
Manual. The bulletins and recalls again
[00:35:07.760]
you know if it's from the 50s that may
[00:35:10.040]
not be available but shows you what we
[00:35:12.260]
have for your vehicle. I'm just gonna
[00:35:14.870]
focus on the
[00:35:16.310]
repair manual so let me quickly jump
[00:35:17.660]
into the other tools so you can see what
[00:35:18.950]
you can expect to find.
[00:35:20.660]
The maintenance schedule is available
[00:35:22.820]
but you do have to kind of narrow down
[00:35:24.770]
your vehicle type so we just do that the
[00:35:27.350]
same way we do with the vehicle itself
[00:35:30.280]
but I'm going to kind of move on to the
[00:35:32.660]
other tools. Something they added a few
[00:35:34.850]
years ago, is the labor estimator. So this
[00:35:37.430]
is a really handy way for you to (I'm
[00:35:41.060]
just gonna switch to one of the
[00:35:42.800]
browsable tools here so we can bring up
[00:35:46.190]
a list) but this is a great way for you
[00:35:49.940]
to go into if you are going to a repair
[00:35:52.190]
Shop, maybe it's not something you feel
[00:35:53.480]
like you can fix yourself or want to
[00:35:54.920]
Attempt, and have an idea
[00:35:57.080]
what the estimated labor hours may be so
[00:36:00.320]
they show you for both the dealer and
[00:36:02.740]
Say, if you go to a regular repair shop.
[00:36:05.210]
So this is, you know, good to have some
[00:36:08.360]
information when you go in to a repair
[00:36:11.240]
Shop; have a little knowledge beforehand
[00:36:13.550]
or at least then can kind of estimate
[00:36:15.470]
what you might be paying once you know
[00:36:17.390]
their hourly rate. So the bulletins and
[00:36:20.600]
recalls is also filterable. It shows
[00:36:24.200]
you all of them to start and then you
[00:36:26.750]
can narrow down so if
[00:36:29.420]
suspect there's something going on with
[00:36:31.430]
your HVAC system, you can open that up
[00:36:35.090]
and see recalls relating to HVAC. You can
[00:36:38.180]
also do it by symptom which is handy and
[00:36:41.980]
should you have one of those code
[00:36:43.820]
Readers, you can search by the trouble
[00:36:45.590]
codes too. But again this database is
[00:36:48.770]
kind of all about the repair manual so
[00:36:50.900]
let's go ahead and take a look now. The
[00:36:54.530]
repair manual are specifically
[00:36:56.300]
written for do-it-yourselfers so what
[00:36:58.160]
you start out with is basically the
[00:37:01.070]
top of the Table Of Contents. So we're
[00:37:04.190]
starting out here and just have to
[00:37:06.230]
choose the area of the vehicle we're
[00:37:08.120]
interested in so say we want to change
[00:37:11.150]
our oil. So we go under Engine Mechanical
[00:37:14.360]
and then it pops open and so you can see
[00:37:18.680]
it not quite filtering but narrows down
[00:37:21.220]
the Table Of Contents. You kind of keep
[00:37:23.450]
moving down levels so Engine Oil And
[00:37:27.920]
Filter Change and say we're looking for
[00:37:32.390]
a Basic Oil and Filter Change
[00:37:35.349]
and we have a 4.6-liter Engine and there
[00:37:41.720]
we go. You'll find quite a bit of the
[00:37:45.440]
manual is illustrated in some way,
[00:37:47.420]
whether it's a photograph or an actual
[00:37:49.130]
Illustration.
[00:37:50.810]
They very but that's, of course, good. You
[00:37:53.720]
can make sure you're looking at
[00:37:55.820]
the right thing.
[00:37:57.730]
Lots of caution notes around what you're
[00:38:01.790]
doing with the vehicle and again heavily
[00:38:08.839]
Illustrated. You'll find videos as well
[00:38:10.580]
and in some cases, animations. So, lots of
[00:38:16.400]
help here for maintaining our vehicles.
[00:38:18.260]
Now you also will find, (let me scroll back up)
[00:38:22.900]
you're within the whole manual so you
[00:38:25.640]
can kind of follow the
[00:38:27.740]
breadcrumb trail here of where we got
[00:38:29.450]
where we are to get back to the rest of
[00:38:31.310]
the entire manual but there's also a
[00:38:34.099]
search tool so if you're (I don't you
[00:38:37.099]
know I'm not a car person) so say I need
[00:38:38.869]
to do something with the tires I can
[00:38:40.849]
search the manual and it will bring up
[00:38:43.190]
the sections where that term is
[00:38:45.470]
mentioned so it gives me section titles
[00:38:48.020]
but then also where it appears in the
[00:38:49.490]
text. So I can jump to those sections so
[00:38:54.290]
I go to Diagnosis and Testing. But as
[00:39:01.190]
you can
[00:39:01.710]
everything just hinges on your vehicle
[00:39:04.080]
and then it's a very point-and-click
[00:39:05.430]
type tool so you work with the manual
[00:39:09.560]
almost like you would with the print, you
[00:39:11.700]
Know, using a Table Of Contents but of
[00:39:13.380]
Course, that search feature is
[00:39:15.150]
something really handy and something you
[00:39:16.560]
wouldn't have in the book. So hopefully a
[00:39:21.150]
pretty easy resource to pick up; it's a
[00:39:23.339]
great one, of course, to reach out and let
[00:39:25.859]
folks know you have. Certainly if you
[00:39:29.640]
have folks who come in looking for the
[00:39:33.000]
print versions, you're definitely going
[00:39:34.349]
to want to share this this resource but
[00:39:37.320]
it's also a good database you know,
[00:39:39.119]
right now, and when the weather's
[00:39:41.310]
nice here in Buffalo, New York where
[00:39:43.080]
I live, we actually have several
[00:39:44.910]
places around that have a car cruise
[00:39:47.070]
night and it might be good to go
[00:39:49.200]
to the
[00:39:51.180]
cruise night, send someone from the library and hand
[00:39:52.560]
out some bookmarks or something letting
[00:39:54.030]
folks know about Chilton being available.
[00:39:55.470]
Because again, for things like classic
[00:39:58.020]
Cars, you'll see if we look at that year
[00:40:00.119]
Dropbox, this goes back pretty far. So we
[00:40:03.960]
can pull say 1951 and take a look at
[00:40:08.400]
Chevy, see what we've got here. So you
[00:40:11.940]
Know, folks may be able to you know, work
[00:40:15.240]
on their restorations. So just use that
[00:40:18.770]
select a vehicle tool, you can see it
[00:40:22.320]
looks at how far back do we go so looks
[00:40:24.390]
like 1940. So see what's available here!
[00:40:31.730]
So great resource! All right so let's
[00:40:36.089]
wrap up and let you know where you can
[00:40:37.290]
go after today when you need help. Oh
[00:40:40.550]
there was the example, sorry folks, I
[00:40:43.020]
forgot to show this. So we looked up our
[00:40:44.760]
2008 Ford Explorer so again send it any
[00:40:48.570]
questions you may have or anything else
[00:40:50.070]
you'd like to see
[00:40:51.030]
but after today where do you go for help?
[00:40:54.030]
When you start using these resources
[00:40:55.560]
more when school goes back in session
[00:40:58.280]
and you're looking for help, there are
[00:41:00.420]
lots of places you can go at Gale, of
[00:41:02.070]
Course, you've got great support at TexShare
[00:41:03.750]
so call on them as well. I'm your
[00:41:06.540]
trainer - feel free to get in touch with
[00:41:07.830]
me, lots of good stuff on our support
[00:41:10.440]

[00:41:13.550]
resource guides,
[00:41:15.860]
you can sign up for other webinars of
[00:41:18.410]
Course, lots of tech help, the
[00:41:20.600]
general support site has lots of good
[00:41:22.520]
Information. We're getting ready to link
[00:41:24.770]
some of it from the TexShare specific
[00:41:27.440]
support site - and then a good person to
[00:41:30.620]
be aware of at Gale is your Customer
[00:41:32.210]
Success Manager. This is someone at Gale
[00:41:35.420]
who is dedicated to your success with
[00:41:37.640]
the resources; you have a team basically,
[00:41:42.710]
at Gale, backing you up and your Customer
[00:41:44.750]
Success Manager is just one of those
[00:41:47.000]
folks and they're a good person to go to
[00:41:49.250]
when you're not sure where else to go
[00:41:51.490]
but they can help you with ideas around
[00:41:54.470]
promoting the resources, if you're at say
[00:41:57.080]
an academic institution and you want to
[00:41:59.000]
integrate the databases into your
[00:42:00.650]
discovery system, or maybe use a proxy
[00:42:03.260]
server for authentication and you need
[00:42:05.960]
help with that. Again, if you're in a
[00:42:07.700]
public library, how do you get folks
[00:42:09.260]
using these resources, they can help with
[00:42:10.970]
ideas along those lines. So, if you reach
[00:42:13.460]
out to this email address, they'll route
[00:42:15.140]
it to your Customer Success Manager who
[00:42:17.690]
do specialize by library type and
[00:42:20.350]
location so they're going to be familiar
[00:42:22.640]
with Texas they're going to be familiar
[00:42:24.170]
with TexShare and they're going to be
[00:42:26.300]
familiar with your library types so if
[00:42:27.980]
you're an academic institution you work
[00:42:29.630]
with one of our academic CSMs; if you're
[00:42:31.940]
in a public library you work with one of the
[00:42:33.140]
public CSMs. And then of course, our tech
[00:42:36.140]

[00:42:38.540]

[00:42:40.190]

[00:42:42.200]
question about the bookmark, anything
[00:42:44.690]
like that, reach out to Gale tech support
[00:42:46.850]
and they're there for you as well. So
[00:42:50.890]
