Gale Training

[00:00:04.908]
Today, we're talking about how you can support

[00:00:06.988]
your diversity, equity and inclusion

[00:00:09.228]
initiatives with Gale Literature Resource

[00:00:11.739]
Center. My name is Amber Winters

[00:00:13.810]
and I am a senior training consultant

[00:00:16.030]
here with Gale

[00:00:18.228]
and I've got a brief agenda. So first I want to

[00:00:20.250]
just go over the basics of

[00:00:22.370]
Gale Literature Resource Center just to make sure

[00:00:24.489]
we're all familiar. Then we're going to talk

[00:00:26.679]
about some of the different tools and features that are

[00:00:28.690]
going to help your users and you as well.

[00:00:30.719]
If you're pulling content, find content

[00:00:32.969]
about diverse groups of people, about

[00:00:35.209]
diverse works about all

[00:00:37.418]
that great stuff. We're going to talk about some of the different tools

[00:00:40.000]
that you have available and then we'll actually

[00:00:42.149]
walk through the platform. So you can see the tools in action.

[00:00:44.594]
We can take a look at different workflows that might be

[00:00:46.673]
beneficial to you or to your users.

[00:00:48.965]
And then the very end of the session, we have

[00:00:51.283]
a little bit of a wrap up and we will have a bit

[00:00:53.325]
of time for questions. So if I don't hit

[00:00:55.505]
all of the questions that are in the Q and A as

[00:00:57.524]
we move through the session, I'll make sure to get

[00:00:59.615]
them all answered by the very end.

[00:01:01.929]
But again, if you do have questions as we move

[00:01:04.159]
along, please feel free to put them in the Q and A

[00:01:06.278]
as you have them, I should be able to answer

[00:01:08.359]
them as we move forward. And again, worst case,

[00:01:11.129]
the question will wait until the end of the session. But please

[00:01:13.400]
ask away as you think of your questions.

[00:01:16.109]
So let's just first talk about the

[00:01:18.209]
basics of Gael Literature Resource

[00:01:20.588]
Center. So this resource has been

[00:01:22.638]
designed to help you

[00:01:24.489]
kind of learn about a

[00:01:26.569]
huge

[00:01:28.969]
huge range of works and authors from

[00:01:30.980]
all genres, movements and times. So

[00:01:33.239]
we're talking about from ancient all

[00:01:35.359]
the way to contemporary works. We

[00:01:37.549]
have some great browse and search

[00:01:39.659]
options available that are really going to help you

[00:01:41.698]
narrow down to the exact content that

[00:01:43.750]
you need and not only is

[00:01:45.838]
our content itself diverse, we also

[00:01:47.900]
have a huge diversity in content

[00:01:50.519]
types. So if your users are looking

[00:01:52.650]
for maybe a biography about certain individuals,

[00:01:55.209]
they can also see work overviews if they're working

[00:01:57.489]
on you know, a specific novel

[00:01:59.549]
or a short story. They want to kind

[00:02:01.558]
of get an overview, they can do that right here

[00:02:03.609]
on this platform. We also have a huge

[00:02:05.719]
collection of literary criticisms. We

[00:02:07.838]
do have primary sources and

[00:02:10.008]
select full text, literary

[00:02:12.028]
works available here. And we have

[00:02:14.118]
news and magazine reports.

[00:02:16.199]
So it's really a kind of holistic approach

[00:02:18.599]
to learning about literature. Your

[00:02:20.659]
users are not only going to understand just the

[00:02:22.729]
basics about the work itself, but they're also

[00:02:24.770]
going to get

[00:02:25.889]
an understanding of the context

[00:02:28.099]
of the work, you know, what was going around, what was going

[00:02:30.240]
on in the world around this work. When it was written,

[00:02:32.550]
they're going to understand the authors, what the authors

[00:02:34.758]
went through and how they got to the point of writing

[00:02:37.159]
their short story, their poem, their novel,

[00:02:39.550]
whatever it is that they're taking a look

[00:02:41.599]
at and with our news and magazine

[00:02:43.899]
content, they're also going to see how that is

[00:02:46.149]
um kind of

[00:02:47.990]
being incorporated in today. So they're going

[00:02:50.099]
to see how works from the past

[00:02:52.169]
or maybe still impacting different

[00:02:54.580]
political movements, things like that. So

[00:02:56.800]
they're really going to get that full view of

[00:02:59.058]
whatever literature they're looking at.

[00:03:01.710]
And in addition to the content, we've got some great

[00:03:03.860]
research tools that we'll take a look at that are going

[00:03:05.960]
to help make sure that this

[00:03:07.969]
content is being utilized appropriately and

[00:03:09.979]
it's being discovered easily. So users

[00:03:12.300]
can use things like highlights and notes if

[00:03:14.379]
they want to find key pieces of information.

[00:03:17.288]
highlighted notes are especially helpful if I have anyone

[00:03:19.639]
from kind of the K 12 arena and you're

[00:03:21.750]
going to have your users maybe talk to the text

[00:03:24.149]
or kind of um dig deeper into

[00:03:26.240]
the text using highlighted notes is a great

[00:03:28.399]
way to do that. We also have Google Microsoft

[00:03:30.808]
integration. So if your users want to save

[00:03:32.838]
content, maybe look at it later or maybe

[00:03:35.044]
they want to share it out with peers or with colleagues,

[00:03:37.784]
they can use our Google Microsoft integrations

[00:03:39.955]
for that. We've got great citations for

[00:03:42.054]
those coming in for homework help or

[00:03:44.213]
project development. They can copy and paste

[00:03:46.425]
citations for all of our information, right

[00:03:48.974]
on the platform.

[00:03:50.729]
Got a great topic finder that can help make

[00:03:52.800]
connections between different topics for your

[00:03:55.189]
your researchers or your users who may kind

[00:03:57.520]
of be stuck in their research. We'll take a look at that

[00:03:59.588]
in a bit. We've also got some great accessibility

[00:04:02.179]
features. So we do have the option

[00:04:04.300]
to translate both the text of

[00:04:06.344]
the entries as well as the platform

[00:04:08.395]
tools themselves. And we have the option to

[00:04:10.463]
change font color

[00:04:13.403]
size type, all that good

[00:04:15.514]
stuff to really make this resource as accessible

[00:04:17.884]
as it possibly can be for

[00:04:19.934]
your users.

[00:04:22.379]
And I want to talk about some different ways that you can

[00:04:24.470]
uncover this content.

[00:04:26.470]
So first I want to point out our browse

[00:04:28.569]
topics option and this is

[00:04:30.619]
going to let your users really point and click

[00:04:32.879]
through to find content. So if they're not exactly

[00:04:35.319]
sure what they're looking for, maybe they're not

[00:04:37.420]
confident in building a search term. This

[00:04:39.629]
browse topics option may be the way for

[00:04:41.689]
them to go.

[00:04:42.850]
They can also at the top use our jump

[00:04:45.079]
to topic section. This is going to be really

[00:04:47.149]
handy if they want just a quick

[00:04:49.439]
view of the different topics we have available, they

[00:04:51.480]
can pull this forward

[00:04:53.079]
and I've kind of pulled out and highlighted

[00:04:55.238]
here. Cultural Identity is one of our topics

[00:04:57.608]
that includes some different subtopics

[00:05:00.028]
within it.

[00:05:01.088]
It's a great way for your users to start if they are

[00:05:03.199]
trying to find diverse voices or di diverse

[00:05:05.738]
authors to click into that cultural

[00:05:08.028]
identity section.

[00:05:10.790]
And we do have a lot of different key de

[00:05:13.040]
I topics that they're going to find if they do decide

[00:05:15.170]
to point and click through this browse topics option.

[00:05:18.100]
And we have kind of a broad

[00:05:20.250]
topic you'll see this year, I've pulled forward Cultural

[00:05:22.379]
Identity. And then within that we

[00:05:24.428]
have some kind of subtopics that are getting

[00:05:26.459]
a lot more specific. So

[00:05:28.559]
this is really going to guide your users to directly,

[00:05:31.059]
directly where they need the content to be. And they may find

[00:05:33.290]
something you know, they didn't even think about

[00:05:35.459]
previously that they can now dig into.

[00:05:38.149]
And this is also really helpful for you as a librarian

[00:05:40.639]
or as a teacher. If you're pulling content

[00:05:42.858]
to share with your users, sometimes

[00:05:44.980]
you can pull content again that you didn't even think about

[00:05:47.178]
that could be really beneficial for them.

[00:05:49.459]
So this is a great way to

[00:05:51.480]
browse if they're just looking for a specific

[00:05:53.540]
topic as opposed to um an

[00:05:55.660]
author or work.

[00:05:58.019]
So moving forward from that browse topic,

[00:06:00.088]
we've got a really powerful person search

[00:06:02.129]
available within this resource. So if

[00:06:04.290]
your user research or learning needs to

[00:06:06.319]
start with finding an individual, they'll

[00:06:08.369]
be able to do that by using our person search here.

[00:06:11.149]
We've got some really advanced filters

[00:06:13.649]
that I absolutely love. Honestly when I'm

[00:06:15.730]
using these resources, I, I really utilize

[00:06:17.970]
these filters a lot. But they're going to

[00:06:20.028]
help your users find individuals

[00:06:22.428]
based on some different key characteristics

[00:06:24.470]
like gender or ethnicity.

[00:06:26.790]
If they're part of a specific literary

[00:06:28.879]
movement, they can take a look at that as well.

[00:06:30.970]
So this is handy if you know, they're studying,

[00:06:33.028]
studying a group of

[00:06:35.259]
authors. So maybe they're

[00:06:37.290]
in a women's lit class and they want to pull

[00:06:39.699]
a list of authors related

[00:06:41.819]
to women's lit. They'll be able to do that

[00:06:43.949]
here. You'll see they can narrow it down

[00:06:46.670]
and then they get this nice list that they'll be able

[00:06:48.689]
to click directly into, to learn about

[00:06:50.798]
these individuals. So they'll be pull forward

[00:06:53.119]
all of the content we have in the resource

[00:06:55.480]
related to those individuals. So again,

[00:06:57.509]
this is a great way to pull just

[00:07:00.100]
a list of authors in a specific

[00:07:02.259]
demographic. So maybe it's women, maybe

[00:07:04.519]
it's individuals in the LGBT

[00:07:06.778]
Q community, maybe it's

[00:07:09.149]
Asian Americans. They'll be able

[00:07:11.379]
to quickly narrow down to that group of people

[00:07:13.778]
to really find information in a simple

[00:07:16.139]
way. In

[00:07:18.358]
addition to that person search, we also have a work

[00:07:20.559]
search that functions pretty much the

[00:07:22.678]
same. But this is going to be beneficial

[00:07:25.108]
if instead of starting with

[00:07:27.238]
an author, they really want to just focus in on

[00:07:29.480]
a specific type of work. So

[00:07:31.759]
again, we have filters that look very, very

[00:07:34.019]
similar to the person search, but these are

[00:07:36.209]
slightly different,

[00:07:37.600]
you'll see we can choose a type of work. So if I may

[00:07:39.689]
be looking for a poem or

[00:07:41.699]
a short story or a play, I can

[00:07:43.819]
narrow that down here.

[00:07:45.670]
I can also enter in an author. So maybe

[00:07:47.738]
I have an author name and I want to see all

[00:07:50.170]
of the entries we have related to that author,

[00:07:52.399]
all of the works I can enter the author name.

[00:07:54.899]
I can also search by different

[00:07:57.459]
author characteristics here

[00:07:59.500]
as well. So you see, I have author,

[00:08:01.730]
gender and author nationality here down

[00:08:04.028]
at the bottom.

[00:08:06.588]
And again, just like the person search, you get this

[00:08:08.759]
nice list with hyperlinks attached.

[00:08:11.338]
So users could just click directly into any

[00:08:13.519]
of these works that they think could be interesting

[00:08:15.699]
or could be beneficial. Also

[00:08:18.019]
great for you. If you're building

[00:08:20.048]
a program, you know, in the public library, you're building a program

[00:08:22.449]
and you're trying to, to find works to include

[00:08:24.709]
in that program. Maybe to highlight, maybe you want to shoot

[00:08:26.970]
out as a social media post. Hey,

[00:08:29.500]
learn more about, you know, this novel

[00:08:31.829]
or learn more about this author. This

[00:08:33.918]
is a great way to do that to quickly pull those

[00:08:36.090]
links and then share them out

[00:08:38.149]
with your learning community.

[00:08:41.649]
Now, I want to spend the rest of our time actually in

[00:08:43.769]
the resource walking through these great features.

[00:08:46.178]
while I switch my screen over, does anyone

[00:08:48.330]
have any questions just about the basics

[00:08:50.649]
of Gale Literature Resource

[00:08:52.690]
Center? Ok.

[00:08:57.869]
I don't see any. So let's go ahead and

[00:08:59.979]
keep moving then. So this is the home page here of

[00:09:02.009]
Gale Literature Resource Center. I already signed in.

[00:09:04.729]
I just want to give you a quick look at the home page

[00:09:06.759]
just so we kind of understand where we are

[00:09:08.779]
here. So at the very top,

[00:09:10.908]
we're going to have a featured works section.

[00:09:13.359]
So if your users do want to click through

[00:09:15.399]
by work and maybe just see some of the top

[00:09:17.700]
studied top used works within this resource,

[00:09:20.570]
they can hit our browse works here and be launched

[00:09:22.678]
into a list of works

[00:09:25.408]
underneath that we also have a few different

[00:09:27.700]
feature topics here. So

[00:09:30.639]
excuse me.

[00:09:32.129]
so if any of these are are interesting

[00:09:34.469]
to them, they can click directly here again without even

[00:09:36.668]
running a search. This is a really nice way for them

[00:09:38.769]
to point and click and kind of browse

[00:09:41.210]
to those different topics, different categories

[00:09:45.739]
back up here at the top of the page.

[00:09:47.928]
We've got this really excellent toolbar here

[00:09:50.080]
with all of our different navigation tools

[00:09:52.320]
as well. And we're going to really utilize

[00:09:54.330]
this today so you can see how we can pull content.

[00:09:56.599]
So we've got our browse topics listed

[00:09:58.759]
here. Both our person and work searches

[00:10:00.950]
are listed here. We've got our Titleist link,

[00:10:03.750]
a search history, our get link, we're going

[00:10:05.820]
to take a look at a bit later, but it's a great tool

[00:10:08.158]
that's going to follow us along.

[00:10:10.519]
So let's just start at the very beginning of this toolbar

[00:10:12.859]
here. And let's see how we can browse through different

[00:10:14.899]
topics. So when I click into this

[00:10:16.908]
here, just let

[00:10:18.989]
me scroll down really fast. So you can see it's a pretty extensive

[00:10:21.428]
list. And of course, this is an

[00:10:23.668]
an exhaustive list of every single topic

[00:10:26.090]
we have within the resource. But these are

[00:10:28.168]
some of the most searched and utilized

[00:10:30.590]
within public and K 12

[00:10:32.859]
0 academic library. So we've pulled

[00:10:35.048]
forward the most popular here for

[00:10:37.109]
your, your users. And as I mentioned,

[00:10:39.469]
I could hit this jump to, to find specific

[00:10:41.629]
content. So today, since we're talking about

[00:10:44.080]
diverse

[00:10:45.519]
voices, things like that, we're going to go

[00:10:47.529]
ahead and click down to cultural

[00:10:49.739]
identity here.

[00:10:51.849]
Be section is really, really great. You'll see if

[00:10:53.899]
you start to kind of look through here. A lot

[00:10:55.940]
of it is going to be about

[00:10:58.009]
you know, different groups of people. So you're going

[00:11:00.090]
to find things like Australian or Canadian

[00:11:02.219]
literature or Caribbean literature.

[00:11:04.570]
even the Chicago Renaissance, we also

[00:11:06.759]
get more specific like

[00:11:09.000]
Canadian women writers, British

[00:11:11.529]
working class literature. So you see,

[00:11:13.700]
it gets pretty specific here in this list

[00:11:15.769]
and we can start to kind of scroll down. You'll see this

[00:11:17.859]
is a good amount

[00:11:20.048]
for users, but they can kind of click through

[00:11:22.190]
and see if they find anything interesting. If

[00:11:24.609]
they do see something that I care when they click into

[00:11:26.859]
it, they're pulled to these topic pages

[00:11:28.908]
which I personally think are so handy.

[00:11:31.678]
especially when you're starting a new topic

[00:11:33.759]
and you don't really know what you should be searching

[00:11:35.869]
what you should be looking for. I just click

[00:11:38.029]
here into Japanese women short

[00:11:40.399]
fiction writers. So, you know, maybe

[00:11:42.690]
I know I want to learn more about Japanese writers,

[00:11:44.969]
but, you know, I don't know where to go from there.

[00:11:47.379]
These topic pages are, are really

[00:11:49.509]
great. So at the top, they're going to get a full

[00:11:51.590]
overview. So

[00:11:52.940]
if it's about, you know, a group of writers, they're going

[00:11:55.099]
to get a little background about,

[00:11:57.229]
you know, the history of female

[00:11:59.469]
Japanese writers. They may see some

[00:12:01.739]
key individuals, some key works will be mentioned

[00:12:04.019]
in that overview.

[00:12:05.320]
And then next to that, we have some related topics

[00:12:07.859]
here. So if we want to move forward, we can certainly

[00:12:10.048]
do that. Maybe we want to

[00:12:11.649]
go a little bit more broad and just take a look

[00:12:14.000]
at modern Japanese literature as

[00:12:16.129]
a whole as opposed to just taking a look at, at

[00:12:18.279]
women short fiction writers.

[00:12:21.538]
And we can start to scroll down on this topic page

[00:12:23.668]
and this is where we're going to get all of

[00:12:25.678]
our related content here. So you

[00:12:27.908]
see, I have it listed in this gray bar. It's going to tell

[00:12:30.129]
me the different bits of content I have

[00:12:32.538]
and then scrolling down here. It's going to break all of

[00:12:34.609]
that up

[00:12:37.038]
so I can easily see what I have available

[00:12:39.139]
here. Again, we've got a huge selection

[00:12:41.509]
of biographies within this resource. I do want to point

[00:12:43.798]
this section out. So if you're,

[00:12:46.779]
if your users are actually looking for content

[00:12:49.070]
related to individuals as opposed

[00:12:51.200]
to just looking at um you know, different

[00:12:53.239]
works and overviews of works, these biographies

[00:12:55.729]
are going to be really powerful for them. They can

[00:12:57.869]
easily click into any of these here.

[00:13:00.288]
Let's click and just look at all of them.

[00:13:03.239]
They can easily click into any of these

[00:13:06.808]
and just take a quick look at this author

[00:13:08.840]
and they'll get some about this person information

[00:13:11.599]
up top here. They'll get a nice explore

[00:13:13.979]
panel that's going to give them some more

[00:13:16.019]
like this options as well

[00:13:18.139]
as related subjects

[00:13:21.038]
and it's nice and chunked out for them. So

[00:13:23.109]
even if your users are maybe struggling

[00:13:25.389]
readers a bit. This isn't excessively

[00:13:28.109]
heavy. You'll see, we do try to chunk it out and piece

[00:13:30.379]
it out as much as possible. So it's really

[00:13:32.590]
simple for them to kind of read through.

[00:13:36.500]
Now, I'm actually going to jump all

[00:13:38.700]
the way back to that topics, browse that we were just

[00:13:40.820]
at and I'm going to do that by using a little

[00:13:42.989]
breadcrumb trail up top here. So

[00:13:45.000]
I'm gonna go back to topics

[00:13:48.859]
because in addition to having the option

[00:13:50.889]
to browse by topics like that, I can

[00:13:53.080]
also use my drop down here and choose to browse

[00:13:55.408]
by works instead.

[00:13:57.408]
So again, this is not an exhaustive

[00:13:59.538]
list of every work we have within this resource.

[00:14:02.259]
Um That honestly, that would be impossible

[00:14:04.759]
because we cover a huge

[00:14:06.869]
collection. But again, these are the most

[00:14:08.989]
studied the most searched, the most utilized

[00:14:11.359]
within this resource we've chosen to

[00:14:13.558]
pull forward and highlight here

[00:14:16.719]
and they can click into any of these

[00:14:20.678]
and just like the topics we have

[00:14:22.849]
topic pages created for books

[00:14:25.070]
themselves. Ok. So we give a basic

[00:14:27.830]
overview of the, the book or the,

[00:14:30.109]
the poem, whatever it is, we have our related

[00:14:32.629]
topics here again and then scrolling

[00:14:34.859]
down here.

[00:14:36.320]
Got that great content

[00:14:38.889]
and a lot of our works have the

[00:14:40.960]
option to read the full work.

[00:14:43.200]
So if your users are clicking through and they see this

[00:14:45.308]
blue read work button, they'll be able to click into

[00:14:47.529]
that

[00:14:48.308]
and kind of get an understanding of the work

[00:14:50.460]
and read through the work itself.

[00:14:54.719]
Now, I'm going to jump back to home just so

[00:14:56.750]
we have a nice landing point for everyone.

[00:14:59.158]
So if users are maybe not so much interested

[00:15:01.599]
in looking through a specific topic, but they just

[00:15:03.690]
want to look at a group of individuals.

[00:15:05.710]
They may want to take a look at our person search, which is

[00:15:07.779]
listed right here next to our browse topics.

[00:15:11.469]
And what's great with our person search is I don't have to

[00:15:13.538]
enter a search term here. So if I don't

[00:15:15.678]
have someone in mind, I just want to take

[00:15:17.808]
a look at a group of someone's, I can just

[00:15:19.889]
leave this blank. So I'm gonna do that today. I'm going to leave

[00:15:22.038]
my search results blank and you

[00:15:24.080]
see, I can start to scroll down here. I've got a, a bunch

[00:15:26.320]
of different options. So if I choose

[00:15:28.479]
to narrow down, let's say to ethnicity, maybe I want

[00:15:30.859]
African American individuals,

[00:15:32.989]
I can choose a gender here if I wanted to.

[00:15:35.668]
We also have this Great LGBT Q plus

[00:15:38.219]
limiter.

[00:15:39.519]
So we can click into that. Let's click that today. So

[00:15:41.590]
that's going to pull forward individuals

[00:15:44.048]
um that have been specifically

[00:15:46.288]
identified as being part of the LGBT

[00:15:48.399]
Q plus community.

[00:15:50.489]
And of course, um this is updated frequently.

[00:15:53.119]
So as authors are,

[00:15:55.418]
you know, coming out as things

[00:15:57.629]
change with different authors. This is going to be consistently

[00:16:00.269]
updated here as well. So let's go ahead and

[00:16:02.330]
do that. Let's just, we'll put in our ethnicity,

[00:16:04.849]
we'll hit our LGBT Q plus limiter

[00:16:07.149]
and we are gonna run our search.

[00:16:11.879]
Now, I've got a huge collection here of individuals.

[00:16:15.408]
You'll see, as I scroll down here, I can click

[00:16:17.500]
into any that I think are interesting. You'll

[00:16:19.629]
see some of these individuals, you

[00:16:21.869]
know, will write under pseudonyms or just are

[00:16:24.109]
known under two different names. So sometimes

[00:16:26.788]
they'll kind of be forwarded

[00:16:28.979]
along to other entries here. So they're

[00:16:31.009]
all kind of found in one spot.

[00:16:34.070]
But let's just click into one. Let's click into Audrey

[00:16:36.298]
Lord here, so we can take a look.

[00:16:38.798]
So now when I click into this, you'll see, it's starting to look

[00:16:40.908]
more like a standard search results page

[00:16:42.969]
as opposed to a tit page. And

[00:16:44.989]
we default to showing literature criticisms

[00:16:47.529]
first when you run through and search for

[00:16:49.590]
an author. So we have her literature criticisms

[00:16:52.019]
here right next to that where we'll find

[00:16:54.190]
those great biographies.

[00:16:56.548]
Next, we'll find her topic in work

[00:16:58.859]
overview. So if we do just want

[00:17:00.918]
a basic about something she wrote in the past,

[00:17:03.219]
we can certainly take a look at that here. We

[00:17:05.539]
have reviews and news.

[00:17:07.779]
If we have any primary sources, you'll

[00:17:09.809]
find those here. It's good. A lot of primary

[00:17:12.088]
sources could be things like interviews

[00:17:14.529]
or maybe you know, a lecture

[00:17:17.597]
that these individual authors completed.

[00:17:20.729]
So we'll be able to take a look at those. You'll see, we also have

[00:17:23.269]
um some full text works here. It looks like we've got

[00:17:25.298]
a poem listed here that we can

[00:17:27.347]
click into

[00:17:28.448]
some of our primary sources are going

[00:17:30.458]
to be audio files. So

[00:17:32.648]
just to add that layer of understanding,

[00:17:36.180]
we have that listed right here

[00:17:38.439]
and you do see you see, we do include multimedia

[00:17:40.910]
here as well. So if we have some multimedia

[00:17:42.989]
content, of course, for the most

[00:17:45.289]
part, multimedia content is going to be

[00:17:47.390]
more focused on more contemporary

[00:17:49.769]
individuals and contemporary works

[00:17:52.049]
where they're going to kind of have that

[00:17:54.229]


[00:17:56.479]
that coverage here.

[00:17:59.630]
So let's go ahead and click back. We'll

[00:18:01.640]
click into literature criticisms today.

[00:18:05.250]
I'm just gonna click into the second one

[00:18:07.348]
just to click. So just like I clicked

[00:18:09.380]
in that biography previously, we still

[00:18:11.459]
have this nice explore panel on this right

[00:18:13.568]
hand side here if we want to use it.

[00:18:15.509]
But I do want to show you some of the different tools we have

[00:18:17.848]
at this document level that's going to help you and

[00:18:19.910]
your users get this information where it needs

[00:18:21.959]
to go and to keep it organized. So

[00:18:24.199]
again, we have our citation tool always available.

[00:18:27.509]
So this is going into homework,

[00:18:29.578]
you know, if you're working with a student or it's going into a

[00:18:31.598]
project, we've got mlaap

[00:18:33.809]
a Chicago and Harvard versions all available

[00:18:36.250]
here. We can

[00:18:38.259]
also use the send to button to save this content.

[00:18:41.880]
So you see, I can send it over to my Google Drive, my

[00:18:43.920]
Onedrive or I can email it. And this

[00:18:46.059]
is really handy. Again. If it's

[00:18:48.239]
a student working on a project, they're working in a group,

[00:18:50.368]
they can send it over to their drive and they can share

[00:18:52.420]
it with their peers that way. This is beneficial

[00:18:54.900]
for you as an educator, as a librarian,

[00:18:57.229]
if you just want to save some contents

[00:18:59.338]
to integrate into your programming or integrate

[00:19:01.848]
into your curriculum. This is a nice way for you

[00:19:03.900]
to save that content as well. Just

[00:19:05.959]
so you don't have to kind of come back and find it again.

[00:19:09.118]
You can also download and print all of our information.

[00:19:12.088]
And now I want to point out this gut link and this gut

[00:19:14.098]
link is found on

[00:19:15.680]
almost every page within the resource.

[00:19:17.979]
And this is going to provide a persistent URL

[00:19:20.160]
to whatever page you're on.

[00:19:22.439]
I love using this um

[00:19:24.769]
as something to put into a syllabus. You know,

[00:19:26.799]
if you're having students

[00:19:28.500]
read about different individuals and you want

[00:19:30.578]
to give them some samples, copy

[00:19:32.818]
and paste this into a syllabus is persistent.

[00:19:34.979]
So it's not going to break again,

[00:19:37.150]
if you have social media blast going

[00:19:39.279]
out or maybe you've got some sort of programming

[00:19:41.848]
and you want to have some documents available for

[00:19:43.920]
your users.

[00:19:45.209]
Again, this is a great way to do that. You copy

[00:19:47.279]
this persistent URL and you can easily get it

[00:19:49.358]
out to wherever you want it to go

[00:19:57.789]
scrolling down here. As I mentioned, we have some great

[00:19:59.818]
accessibility features as well,

[00:20:02.009]
so we can translate this article. So if you have

[00:20:04.078]
users who need specific languages, you'll

[00:20:06.269]
see they have quite a few different options

[00:20:08.559]
to translate.

[00:20:10.390]
They can also translate our interface which

[00:20:12.459]
is going to translate all of our tools

[00:20:15.130]
here. You'll see my tools are switched over

[00:20:17.549]
down here as well.

[00:20:25.150]
We've got a quick question. So I'm just going to read through

[00:20:27.180]
this. Will the persistent link take the patron directly

[00:20:29.318]
to the page or will it first bring the patron

[00:20:31.390]
to the library sign in page Rebecca? That's a great

[00:20:33.459]
question.

[00:20:34.500]
So the persistent link will take

[00:20:36.509]
the user to the actual

[00:20:38.559]
page. So whatever document you link to,

[00:20:41.170]
if they decide to move forward

[00:20:43.180]
from there, they want to, you know, continue on with

[00:20:45.189]
their research at that point, they'll be asked

[00:20:47.500]
to authenticate, but that direct link will take

[00:20:49.739]
them into whatever article, image

[00:20:52.180]
video you shared with them.

[00:21:00.969]
OK.

[00:21:04.049]
So again, quickly, I just want to mention here

[00:21:06.309]
um In addition to our translate, we can

[00:21:08.559]
increase, decrease the font size,

[00:21:11.759]
we can also change some of the different colors

[00:21:13.890]
that are found in this to really make it as accessible

[00:21:16.559]
as we can, you'll see, we have a great

[00:21:18.809]
dyslexia font, we can change our line

[00:21:20.818]
letter and word spacing, all that great stuff.

[00:21:25.759]
And we also have a listen tool that's going to

[00:21:27.809]
read this article out to your users. So again,

[00:21:29.890]
if you have struggling readers who maybe just need to

[00:21:31.939]
have this read to them, this listen tool

[00:21:34.170]
is the way to do that.

[00:21:40.088]
And I do just want to show just one more

[00:21:42.299]
way to find um different

[00:21:44.410]
diverse voices using our advanced search

[00:21:46.680]
before I do. Are there any questions on

[00:21:48.689]
the things that I just went over? Anything? You

[00:21:50.750]
wanna quickly take a look back on?

[00:21:56.858]
No. OK,

[00:21:58.420]
no problem. So let me jump back to home.

[00:22:00.789]
First, I'm not going to go through it because

[00:22:03.019]
it works the same as person search, but your work

[00:22:05.098]
search is found here as well. So it's

[00:22:07.219]
going to look just like person search, but of

[00:22:09.348]
course you're putting in the information

[00:22:11.410]
about the work itself. But I wanna go

[00:22:13.500]
into advanced search here

[00:22:17.108]
because we've got a great limiter. Let me

[00:22:19.150]
scroll down

[00:22:21.809]
that I think is just really helpful, especially

[00:22:24.019]
when we're talking about finding diverse voices.

[00:22:26.608]
Um And actually connecting with that content.

[00:22:29.289]
A great way to do that is to take a look at our primary

[00:22:31.699]
sources and literary works here. So we've

[00:22:33.828]
got a nice collection that's going to come,

[00:22:36.029]
you know, right from the author's mouths, we're going to

[00:22:38.059]
have

[00:22:39.779]
um

[00:22:41.979]
speeches, poems, discussions,

[00:22:44.799]
podcasts will most likely find, unfortunately,

[00:22:47.140]
a lot of podcasts are old enough to be considered

[00:22:49.209]
primary sources, which is

[00:22:51.578]
a little bit depressing to think about. But

[00:22:53.630]
we may find those under primary sources as well.

[00:22:55.939]
So these primary sources are great

[00:22:57.989]
way to find that content really simply

[00:23:01.818]
and you can go down even further from there as well.

[00:23:04.118]
So if we want to get even more specific,

[00:23:07.269]
you'll see. I've got all these different document

[00:23:09.709]
type entries here that are going to be helpful in

[00:23:11.769]
finding content as well.

[00:23:17.618]
So just another really quick way to find

[00:23:19.779]
content and to easily find that

[00:23:22.160]
the diverse voices that we have

[00:23:24.729]
really integrated all through

[00:23:26.959]
Gale Literature Resource Center.

[00:23:31.068]
Now, I've got some wrap up information for you all.

[00:23:33.338]
So I wanted to go ahead and jump over to that while

[00:23:35.650]
I do. I haven't seen any questions coming aside

[00:23:37.699]
from that one. So I will ask again if anyone has

[00:23:39.769]
any questions or wants to take a look

[00:23:41.930]
at anything that I may have you know, maybe

[00:23:43.939]
jumped over today.

[00:23:49.519]
OK. Again, I don't see any.

[00:23:51.618]
So let me give you some wrap up information.

[00:23:53.750]
If you have more questions that you think about. Once

[00:23:55.838]
we're off the session, I want you to be able to reach out to someone.

[00:23:58.328]
So if you have questions about the session today,

[00:24:00.348]
you can reach out to me. Again. My name is Amber Winters.

[00:24:02.750]
My email is just

[00:24:05.059]
[email protected]

[00:24:06.118]
If you want to talk a little bit more specific about

[00:24:08.564]
content you're looking for, for your learning community,

[00:24:10.953]
you know, if you have a specific program and

[00:24:13.164]
you want to pull content, you want to talk to someone at Gale,

[00:24:15.654]
you can reach out to your customer success manager.

[00:24:18.134]
If you don't know who that is, you can just send an email

[00:24:20.473]
to [email protected]

[00:24:23.314]
and we can forward you to the correct individual

[00:24:26.189]
if you don't have access to Gale Literature Resource Center

[00:24:28.469]
right now, but you want to talk about it

[00:24:30.598]
Reach out to your sales consultant. If you don't know

[00:24:32.640]
who that is, just go to support.gale.com/repfinder,

[00:24:37.019]
you'll put in your information and we'll give you the contact

[00:24:39.539]
info for the correct individual.

[00:24:42.209]
And I also want to mention our support site.

[00:24:44.309]
So our support site which is support.gale.com

[00:24:47.029]
has pre created webinars for you, but we've

[00:24:49.150]
also got a huge collection of activities

[00:24:51.500]
that are going to be beneficial both

[00:24:53.719]
for public libraries and for K 12

[00:24:55.900]
individuals who are on the line, we've got premade

[00:24:57.969]
lesson plans, um Things like

[00:24:59.989]
scavenger hunts, escape rooms,

[00:25:03.019]
all that good stuff, as well as additional training

[00:25:05.098]
information like training slide

[00:25:07.348]
decks and things. So if you need something like that, if you're

[00:25:09.410]
trying to get this resource into your classrooms

[00:25:11.640]
or out to your public library community,

[00:25:14.368]
take a look at the support site and you'll most likely

[00:25:16.390]
find some helpful information there

[00:25:20.900]
and we've got about four minutes left. So

[00:25:22.989]
if you all don't mind taking that four

[00:25:25.160]
minutes and go ahead and take this quick survey just

[00:25:27.269]
to make sure we're covering what you're looking for

[00:25:29.439]
in these webinars.

[00:25:30.848]
I have a QR code on the screen or you

[00:25:32.930]

[00:25:36.750]
And let us know your thoughts if

[00:25:38.759]
there's something that you wish was covered, that wasn't let

[00:25:40.769]
us know that uh if you like what was

[00:25:42.848]
covered, but just want even more. Let

[00:25:45.150]
us know that as well please.

[00:25:47.640]
But again, no questions have come up in the Q

[00:25:49.750]
