I will be providing you with a very brief overview of gale ebooks.
[00:00:37.000]
The resource. But we're going to spend majority of our time taking a deeper dive into the new ebook titles that you have available.
[00:00:43.000]
From tell the collection search options we will cover, so we're going to cover some functionality of the resource to as we are, including all that great new content within the Ebook collections I will touch on touch on some of the tools and features that you have within the resource just so that you're
[00:01:01.000]
Aware that they are there, but the focus of this resource recently the focus of this training is the resource and the ebooks that you have available alright, our agenda is we will start with an overview of Gale ebooks.
[00:01:17.000]
The platform itself, or the resource itself, we will then look at the new Ebook collection, and then I will share with you where you can go for MARC records if you need the MARC records, we do, have them.
[00:01:27.000]
Already posted. Also. We will then explore all of the content and different ways that you can save and share the information.
[00:01:38.000]
Any questions that you have. Please feel free to use the Q.
[00:01:39.000]
And a box. I will leave you at the end where you can go for training materials and contact information.
[00:01:46.000]
So you have mine that will show up in the follow-up email.
[00:01:50.000]
But you also have one-on-one support. So if you do need help with your MARC records, or want to walk through the gale, support site, or talk about usage, reporting your gale customer success managers, can help with that they are your one-on-one support to access your tell resources you can go
[00:02:07.000]
directly to the Tennessee Electronic library. Site. It is organized wonderfully.
[00:02:12.000]
You're going to see right there on the home page, and it new information is going to be listed and posted.
[00:02:13.000]
There for you, so do. This is a great one to bookmark, even if you are using your own individual links to the resource, to your gale, resources, it's always good to bookmark, the site because New information when it's added, you'll be the first to know there along with your other channels of
[00:02:36.000]
communication with the folks at tell. So let's talk about Gale ebooks at the platform itself, or the resource.
[00:02:45.000]
So gale ebooks is available 31.
[00:02:47.000]
So anytime. Your users have access to a browser, they can access the content available within your very large ebook collection.
[00:02:59.000]
You have unlimited simultaneous access, so you could have an entire classroom of college students accessing one title at one time and also there are no holds or returns.
[00:03:12.000]
So there's no checking in or checking out of these titles.
[00:03:16.000]
Our platform, our resource of gale ebooks is mobile, responsive.
[00:03:17.000]
So your users can be accessing right from their cell phone if they want, and the screen will automatically adjust for them there's unlimited downloads available with your ebook titles.
[00:03:32.000]
From gale it is a very intuitive search and browse feature.
[00:03:36.000]
I always imagine having all of these print titles in front of me, and some of these titles you may have in your library, but now you have digital access unlimited access, unlimited downloads, no check-in checkout so when you're doing that search you have that great feature available where
[00:03:51.000]
It pulls back that content very quickly for your users, and it's a great brows feature you also, as one of your search options have topic finder which is a visual representation of your search results it's also interactive you can translate the text.
[00:04:08.000]
Into over 40 languages. So imagine you have a whole class of students.
[00:04:15.000]
Maybe accessing one title. They can translate that text.
[00:04:19.000]
So if you have users or students that need a different language, such as let's say Spanish, they can translate that text into Spanish and still be on the same page as everyone else.
[00:04:30.000]
Text to speech is available where your users can listen to the text being read aloud.
[00:04:35.000]
It also is downloadable as an integration with Google Microsoft and learning management, systems, such as canvas and schoology are also available with your gale ebooks platform or resource with that I want to start with the MARC records so let's.
[00:04:51.000]
Jump right in any questions. Don't forget to use that Q.
[00:04:55.000]
And a box, I will be monitoring it throughout the session.
[00:05:01.000]
So when you access the gale, support site and let me put this in the chat.
[00:05:07.000]
And this is this link will also be included in your follow up emails you, those of you watching the recording I will.
[00:05:16.000]
Have it on the screen towards the end of the session, so you can screenshot that.
[00:05:21.000]
But those of you attending live here is the link.
[00:05:22.000]
Now, if you're looking for your MARC records and I'm going to log into Tennessee's account now I know the location.
[00:05:29.000]
Id. But if you don't know your location, id all you have to do is click on find your location
[00:05:40.000]
So if I wanted to click on find my location, I could put in my name or zip code. There
[00:05:47.000]
Go back! This is where you're going to find your MARC records, and the reason why I'm showing you through through this window or through the support site is a couple things.
[00:05:57.000]
You can contact your customer. Success, manager so immediately. If I need to contact my customer success.
[00:06:03.000]
Manager. I can email them or make an appointment.
[00:06:06.000]
But what I want to share with you is under product support at the top you have the ability, as you can see.
[00:06:13.000]
Gale. MARC records click into gale, MARC records, and here I would want to go to ebook.
[00:06:18.000]
So see the navigation at the top. I'm in products which there are MARC records for all of your products.
[00:06:27.000]
When I click ebooks. Then I'm taken to all of my MARC records for my ebooks.
[00:06:33.000]
Now this is everything. But if you notice here I'm seeing dates now.
[00:06:35.000]
They're elf. They're alphabetical.
[00:06:39.000]
So how do I filter down to just the newest ones that have been added.
[00:06:43.000]
It's really quite easy on the right hand side. I have a few options.
[00:06:44.000]
If I was looking for a specific title, I could use that if I had an invoice number.
[00:06:47.000]
So if I'm purchasing my own titles for my library, I can use my invoice number, or I can use my invoice date now date is going to show me an I know that these were just added this week so I can see this date.
[00:07:05.000]
At the time, and now it is filtering. Immediately it filtered to, as you can see the titles that were just added.
[00:07:07.000]
This week.
[00:07:16.000]
And you have 50 titles here, and this is a great way, too.
[00:07:20.000]
If you're curious as to okay, I can see all the great titles along with the the titles I had previously.
[00:07:26.000]
What are the new ones? This is a great way to to see that information.
[00:07:30.000]
Okay, when you download the records I do have to select title.
[00:07:35.000]
It'll select all of those titles at once. They're 66 different records available.
[00:07:39.000]
When I download them. Don't forget that's going to be in the dot mark file.
[00:07:44.000]
Okay, because these are your MARC records alright, or Dot, M.
[00:07:49.000]
R C. File, but a dot, Mrc. File, a.
[00:07:54.000]
A mark file. Okay. So with that, let's go into the resource itself.
[00:07:58.000]
If you are accessing from the Tennessee Electronic library that you'll be land on the home page here.
[00:08:03.000]
And as I mentioned, here's these articles about: tell your new tell.
[00:08:09.000]
Databases are here at the top. So you're going to see that information.
[00:08:10.000]
But the quickest way to find your ebooks. If you go into all resources and just search for ebooks
[00:08:23.000]
I'm gonna find a database it comes right up at the top.
[00:08:27.000]
Okay. So you click into gale ebooks and log in with your information.
[00:08:32.000]
Alright. I should say I get prompted to log in with information, because I am in Michigan.
[00:08:39.000]
Okay. And then thanks, Andrea. So Andrew Zelke is here.
[00:08:42.000]
Your tell administrator, and she said on the homepage, she is going to be adding an article about the ebooks early next week, so be on the lookout for that, thanks.
[00:08:46.000]
Andrea, alright. So let's jump into gale ebooks.
[00:08:51.000]
So I've accessed either through my direct URL or through the Tennessee Electronic library. Site.
[00:09:01.000]
What am I going to find and what new collections am I, or what new ebooks am I going to find here?
[00:09:07.000]
Well, a couple of different features I want to point out before we dive in.
[00:09:10.000]
I can translate the platform here at the top, so I'm it over right around 34 languages, and when I translate that platform it will translate all my navigational tools.
[00:09:19.000]
I can sign in with Google or Microsoft, and I'm gonna sign in with Google because I want to show you a new feature that was added to Gale ebooks not too long, ago.
[00:09:27.000]
And I don't know if you've noticed it yet or not.
[00:09:30.000]
But I do have on the basic search advanced search. We will touch into these a little bit today, but I want to talk to you about all your different collections that you have available so you can see quite a few collections here i've been exploring all of them today.
[00:09:48.000]
At the bottom of this list. You also have a new collection.
[00:09:53.000]
It wasn't just out of this week, it was actually added a while ago.
[00:09:54.000]
I'm focusing on digital literacy. So you're going to see those collections listed at the bottom.
[00:09:59.000]
Now, let's say you're accessing this, and you think oh, I would like to customize this a little bit from my library. Can I do that?
[00:10:09.000]
You absolutely can and we have a session coming up at the end of this month, actually so it's December, the first talking specifically about how you can log in as a librarian.
[00:10:18.000]
And how do you create those custom collections, so that capability is available, and I will be sharing that with you at the end of well, I should say December first, so towards in a couple of weeks here right after the thanksgiving holiday.
[00:10:32.000]
So let's talk about some of the titles and what you're going to find looking at the homepage.
[00:10:37.000]
I do want to jump into a couple different collections and show you some of those titles that you are going to find.
[00:10:43.000]
So, for example, in history you're seeing the American eras here.
[00:10:47.000]
You're going to find a lot of encyclopedia, Gale Encyclopedia of type titles showing up.
[00:10:54.000]
Here's one. On fashion, costume and culture that is available.
[00:10:57.000]
So you're going to see new titles of available here.
[00:11:01.000]
The world. Eras are listed below. We have a uxl world eras.
[00:11:07.000]
I love this one for middle school. If you have any middle school students coming into your public library or if you're coming to us from a K.
[00:11:15.000]
12 library, some other titles that you're going to find.
[00:11:19.000]
If we go into medicine, the alternate and encyclopedia of alternative medicine, you have one on cancer.
[00:11:26.000]
You have, the gallon Cyclopedia of medicine here.
[00:11:27.000]
A genetic disorders. You're going to see a lot of new titles of available in this collection in the medicine section.
[00:11:37.000]
We have one on mental health. So some of these may you may be looking at be like wow, okay, that we've really expanded that section. There's great titles there.
[00:11:45.000]
I can't wait to highlight them. A few others.
[00:11:48.000]
Let me click into. I think it was biography. You have these men and women of science, and these are just a few.
[00:11:55.000]
I mean I could go through each of these collections and point out new titles that you have access to.
[00:12:03.000]
But I wanted to just show you a few that you have.
[00:12:05.000]
You do also have the business plans, handbook, anything that you see that has a series.
[00:12:10.000]
You may have more than one volume. We're going to go into a series today.
[00:12:14.000]
I do want to mention your business plans, handbook, and this is a great one.
[00:12:18.000]
I like to think of this almost as a teaser, because you have one volume there, but you have the complete business Hands Handbook in another resource.
[00:12:26.000]
And that's gale business entrepreneurship.
[00:12:29.000]
So you have all the entire series available there, but you do have one here if you want to access it and take a look at those business handbooks or the the business plans, they're fantastic.
[00:12:41.000]
I do have to say, but if you want the complete series and you want to hide that maybe you want to show the e-book here, and then also a link to the content available in gale business entrepreneurship there's a little what to use one type information okay, so let's talk about
[00:12:56.000]
Let's go into. I want to show you the collections.
[00:12:58.000]
Let's actually go to the arts, and we are going to click into books to film series, and we do happen to have one volume.
[00:13:10.000]
Now when I click into any of the e-book covers, it's going to take me to.
[00:13:11.000]
If it's a series it's going to take me to my lists of titles.
[00:13:14.000]
I have available, in all the volumes. If I go into a title like this Encyclopedia of clothing and fashion, then it takes me to the table of contents okay, so a little different when you do have a series, but both function similarly in this respect if you notice here on the
[00:13:40.000]
right hand side when I'm in a cover that, or in a title that just has.
[00:13:42.000]
It's just one singular title I have that ability to search within the publication itself.
[00:13:50.000]
This is going to be different than my basic search. Basic search is looking at your entire collection and define that title.
[00:13:57.000]
This for your entire tire collection. It does live here on the homepage, where, if I go into a series and I'm clicking into the cover again of this collection, I have the ability to search within the Series, or when I click into that particular volume, then I have the ability to search within the
[00:14:17.000]
Publication, so a few options available, even just when I click into that cover.
[00:14:24.000]
Now, when I do get to this point, I have some information I have about this series.
[00:14:29.000]
I have about this publication. It takes me directly to the table of contents.
[00:14:30.000]
I, am, my book Index, and also lists of illustrations all available.
[00:14:38.000]
Whenever I click into the cover itself. I also have the ability to go right to the book view, and that's what this view ebook is.
[00:14:41.000]
It would take me right to the book view which we have 2 different views, text view and book view, and I'll talk to you about the importance of each one.
[00:14:56.000]
So, if I'm scrolling down I'm going to go into the Da Vinci code, and when I do click into that from the table of contents when I do click, into that section of my Ebook it takes me to the great text view where I have some additional features and some different additional
[00:15:13.000]
Options of exploration. So when I'm in the text view, I have all my tools to support accessibility available.
[00:15:20.000]
I have the translate, tool, the ability to enlarge the text, to change the display options, and also listen to the text being read aloud to me when I'm in the book view
[00:15:36.000]
And let me make this double page click to the next page.
[00:15:39.000]
Here, when I'm in the book view. I don't have those same tools to support accessible.
[00:15:46.000]
So, if your users need to translate the text, they need to be in the text view are the images still included in those text views absolutely.
[00:15:54.000]
They are, and I can zoom in. I made this whole screen zoom in.
[00:15:59.000]
I can move this text around. I made it double page by just want it to be single.
[00:16:00.000]
Page. I can go back to that again. Zoom in as close as I want here and read that text.
[00:16:12.000]
Okay. So that's a difference between text view and book view.
[00:16:17.000]
I also always have the table of contents here, so I'm on the Da Vinci code, but maybe I want to go to the diary of a young girl.
[00:16:21.000]
I can do that, and I can still stay in this e-book title.
[00:16:31.000]
Looking at books. To film. Okay, if I want to share this, maybe this is something I want to share with my students or I.
[00:16:40.000]
Wanna I have some pro programming happening in my library, or as a faculty member, this is something we've read.
[00:16:47.000]
And now I want to share this information with my students that are taking this course.
[00:16:49.000]
I can use the get link tool that provides a persistent URL back to this exact spot.
[00:16:58.000]
What I love about the content on the page, so focusing more on the content.
[00:17:02.000]
Here is: I have the ability to explore more like this: so I'm in one document what happens to be 4 pages long.
[00:17:08.000]
It's a critical essay I can see up here the document type infrastructure.
[00:17:16.000]
It's a critical essay and work overview, but I want some more information about this, and I don't want to go all the way back out and do another search, so how can I find that information quickly I can use the explorer panel and find the more like this and this is connecting me to
[00:17:29.000]
more ebooks in my collection if I click on view all related articles, it's going to take me to a list of those so you can see.
[00:17:39.000]
I can go into detective fiction. I can go into Tom Hanks because he was an actor in the film and find more information or Ron Howard who was the director in the film.
[00:17:45.000]
So you can see how you can continue to explore through your collection that you have access to from the Tennessee Electronic library
[00:17:58.000]
So that explore panel. Is a great tool as I'm scrolling up.
[00:17:59.000]
I might as well mentioned that you do have the source cyitation attached here.
[00:18:05.000]
It is defaulted to Mla Ninth, but you can change it to Apa, Chicago and Harvard.
[00:18:10.000]
If this is a document that you would like to keep, you can simply send it to Google Microsoft email.
[00:18:19.000]
You also can download or print. If I download this, it's going to download right onto my device.
[00:18:29.000]
And you can see it is the print book version. So if we have that available you're going to see it here, which we do with these, and you have that, and it only prints so you can see it's only the 4 pages.
[00:18:43.000]
That I have within my search results or focusing on the Da Vinci cold code because I clicked into that document. Okay.
[00:18:50.000]
But that's download tool is right here in the contextual toolbar alright.
[00:18:55.000]
So we talked about the explorer panel. We talked about more like this let's go into a different collection so we're gonna go back to that homepage. Let's explore some more titles.
[00:19:04.000]
That you have available this time. I want to go into medicine, and, as I said, you're going to see quite a few titles of available here going into medicine.
[00:19:15.000]
Now I want to search within my collection. So let's try this search option, and let's say I have.
[00:19:22.000]
Maybe I have some medical professionals, or I have patrons coming into my library, and they need more information on as fib
[00:19:36.000]
And you can see it's starting to pull it up for me I'm going to use search assist, because it makes my life a lot easier.
[00:19:42.000]
And then search, and it'll filter down my content.
[00:19:47.000]
So when I do a basic search. Now I did. I didn't do a basic search.
[00:19:51.000]
I'm sorry I went through my my collection.
[00:19:54.000]
I searched just within my collection a basic search I'm at 165 results.
[00:20:01.000]
It'll primarily pull from the medicine collapse.
[00:20:05.000]
But I may find some other titles in there that may not necessarily be as relevant because it is going to look through all of my titles for specifically for a fib for that term, and this is I'm focusing just on medicine I just want to be in the in the collection of
[00:20:24.000]
Medicine. So there's a difference there between the 2.
[00:20:25.000]
So understand that. What I'm going to see in my search results.
[00:20:28.000]
I do have the cover again, and I do have the publication title anytime I click into either of these.
[00:20:37.000]
It's going to take me to that table of contents when I want just this article, and this one happens to be 5 pages long, and this is a disease and disorder overview.
[00:20:46.000]
Then I can click on to the title, and it'll just take me to those 4 pages.
[00:20:54.000]
But I do get a bit of a summary of information here on the right-hand side I can filter down my results.
[00:20:55.000]
I also have the option to export my results now before I export my results, I may want to filter it down to let's say just procedures, because, if I look at these top ones, it's telling me what is a fib again, and again, and again, so, maybe I want to look more
[00:21:20.000]
At procedures. Okay, this is something I'm dealing with, or my father is dealing with, and I want some information on this, and I want to know what are the procedures available.
[00:21:29.000]
So I can use. My filter your results, and you can see you have subjects and document type publication, titles, publication, languages, which is different than translating the text itself, because you have that ability on every single document available within this collection to translate into over 40 languages this is if you happen to have a
[00:21:50.000]
Publication in another language. In your search results such as let's say Spanish, I have content levels which is really great.
[00:21:58.000]
If you're working with students, especially K. 12 students, you can filter by content level.
[00:22:03.000]
I will share this level. 3 is middle school and then ones, and twos elementary fours and 5 high school into undergrad.
[00:22:11.000]
But I'm going to search with, and I want to look for procedures
[00:22:18.000]
And submit, and now it's taken me to now 91 different results.
[00:22:24.000]
If I wanted to export this information. What does that look like?
[00:22:28.000]
And this is a new tool that we have available. When you click on.
[00:22:31.000]
Click on export results. I have some options. You can see Max results for export is a 1,000.
[00:22:37.000]
So that's quite a few different or quite a few that I have available that I can export.
[00:22:43.000]
I can choose to send it to Google to one drive or Google drive Microsoft, one drive download or email when I do send that information it will land in a folder in my Google drive
[00:22:58.000]
And it'll be titled. Gale ebooks what?
[00:23:01.000]
It'll look like is the spreadsheet here which I have open.
[00:23:03.000]
It's a Google sheet, and I have. These are my search results that I filtered down.
[00:23:11.000]
I can see all of those linkers here that I've added.
[00:23:14.000]
I also have the article chapter: Where is this coming from?
[00:23:18.000]
I have publication, information, and then here's a direct link to that that section or that chapter.
[00:23:19.000]
That article, so it's a great tool that I have available.
[00:23:30.000]
Again. It is going to be located after you've done some kind of search.
[00:23:31.000]
So I did a search within my collection of metric. Then you're going to see that export your results in that contextual toolbar
[00:23:47.000]
So that's a new tool that we have available, and and you know, keeping that list especially for programming or for use in the in the classroom either.
[00:23:57.000]
College, Higher LED. Or K. 12. It's a great tool to have, because you have all those titles you're librarian and your your curating collections.
[00:24:07.000]
That's a great option too. You want to offer these collections and put it into a file to organize it for yourself for your programming great ideas to use for your library.
[00:24:18.000]
Okay. Let's look into another. And I wanted to share with you a series here.
[00:24:22.000]
So let's go back to our ebook collections, and this time we are going to go into history.
[00:24:31.000]
You have 24 titles, and we're going to go into the American Era's History or American Eras Series, and these are great primary sources, and you could see you have quite a few volumes here available and we're going to go into the civil war and reconstruction when I
[00:24:46.000]
click into it. Now I do have again the ability to search within the series.
[00:24:50.000]
When I click into this volume it takes me again same place into the table of contents.
[00:24:57.000]
I can either view the book book view. Remember, that's book view right here.
[00:25:01.000]
If I wanted to start I can search with my publication.
[00:25:04.000]
I can search within all volumes, too, but I want to search just within this volume because I'm talking about reconstruction and and the Civil War, and so maybe I wanna look at what was Tennessee's roll in that I can do that so you can see here in that title it's pulling
[00:25:26.000]
Back anything related to Tennessee, civil war and reconstruction.
[00:25:33.000]
If I want to filter this down because this is something we're studying in class, and I want to filter it to.
[00:25:39.000]
Maybe middle school and high school levels I can apply that, and it filters those results down to 6 different documents if it's okay to have some level fives in there, which as you saw some of them showed up.
[00:25:52.000]
Then I can. I can remove that filter. If I want to share this information, I can use the git link tool or I can use Google classroom and pull this right into Google classroom and share it with my students.
[00:26:07.000]
Alright. Let me know if there are any questions I wanna do one more search with you, and then I want to share with you.
[00:26:15.000]
Top finder you do have any of the I will share any of the Dk series, and I'm just going to do a basic search.
[00:26:22.000]
So you can see what that looks like. And the difference between going through a publication as compared to a basic search. And we're going to pull in another title. Actually we're gonna use a term this time and look at our results
[00:26:43.000]
Here's my search. Assist helping me out, because my spelling isn't the best.
[00:26:46.000]
The title I wanted to take a look at. Remember I mentioned the uxl are great for for middle school students, and you can see some of them are 3.
[00:26:54.000]
Some of them are fours. So this is a title I wanted to share, but you can see here.
[00:26:59.000]
I have 186 results. Looking at when I'm talking about ancient civilizations.
[00:27:05.000]
But what I wanted to share with you. I like the Uxl titles, especially with that book, view, but also the Dk.
[00:27:11.000]
Titles are fantastic with the book view. But look at this one.
[00:27:15.000]
You have critical thinking questions built in. So you're gonna find some of that within the this collection that you have available within some of these titles.
[00:27:22.000]
You're going to find these critical thinking questions available. Now we this is published by Gale and our great editors have been adding this type of content, for a while you also are seeing interlinking so if I, wanted to find more information I have the more like this on the right hand side but I also have
[00:27:41.000]
This interlinking happening so I can find related articles that I have available.
[00:27:45.000]
So additional exploration into additional collections that you have are titles that you have.
[00:27:52.000]
This one also happens to have words to know available. If I look at this in the book view, same idea as what I shared with you before.
[00:28:02.000]
But you can see here the critical thinking questions. I may have some. This has the word.
[00:28:07.000]
To know. I may have some maps available as images. Especially if I'm looking at the geography but a lot of great content available in this new ebook collection that you have or these new titles you have within your collection.
[00:28:21.000]
Alright. So we talked about Google classroom briefly. The only other thing I want to share with you is topic Finder.
[00:28:28.000]
Before you leave me today you you will always find topic finder in any of your gale resources.
[00:28:34.000]
Under advanced search, click, into advanced search, and I have the topic.
[00:28:39.000]
Finder. Search option here. Now, let's say I'm a small business owner, and I want to find everything I have on small businesses, and I'm not really sure exactly what I want. I just want.
[00:28:50.000]
Whatever information I can find within this collection, and what I love about topic finder is, it shows these keywords that maybe I didn't necessarily thought about.
[00:28:58.000]
Like I know I have some ideas of what I need help with, but if I'm starting a small business, or maybe I'm continuing to manage it, what am I missing, I want to expand I want to grow and I want to utilize my library for help so looking at my search results it's visual
[00:29:13.000]
it's interactive. I can click into the subject of management.
[00:29:18.000]
It will zoom in and continue to drill down. So I have 32 different dials available on the right hand side from my ebook collection.
[00:29:27.000]
But let's say I've clicked into small business.
[00:29:29.000]
I clicked on management, and I want information on owners like as an owner.
[00:29:33.000]
What do I need? Is there stuff that I have available small business tax?
[00:29:34.000]
Labor unions and small business span control, workplace, anger, so different information.
[00:29:42.000]
But I went through this visual process, using topic finder, and as soon as I click into it it'll take me to that section.
[00:29:50.000]
It could be a chapter, it could be an article or or a section of pages available within the e-book, and anytime I click into even at the article level.
[00:29:57.000]
If I go into, let's say labor unions and small business.
[00:30:04.000]
I still have that table of contents here, and I can see what publications it's coming from.
[00:30:10.000]
This is coming from and encyclopedia of small business, and I can go back to topic finder
[00:30:18.000]
Alright. Let me know if there are any questions I want to share.
[00:30:21.000]
One more search with you, and that's using advanced search.
[00:30:24.000]
I know, I said topic finder would be last just because you can put in 2 terms let's say I want computer science and I will share this with our advanced search.
[00:30:36.000]
If you use the search, assist option it automatically puts it into quotation marks for you so it'll look for the term computer science because it is in quotation marks.
[00:30:48.000]
Maybe I want computers, science and engineering
[00:30:53.000]
And I'm just going to click search. I've got some great limiters here that I can add if I wanted to.
[00:30:58.000]
If I wanted to change the target audience or content level, I also have guided reading Level and lexile measure available here.
[00:31:07.000]
I'm gonna click, search, and then again, there are my results.
[00:31:12.000]
570 results. So when you're doing those basic basic search advanced search, remember, it's searching through everything.
[00:31:13.000]
Your entire huge, awesome collection that you have available here's one on scholars.
[00:31:24.000]
This is a new title, too. Your scholarship, fellowships and Loans you book this, and there's a American women, men and women of science you're seeing here so a lot of great titles even just in these search reasons and don't forget you have those great filter
[00:31:40.000]
Options, alright. Let me know if there are any questions.
[00:31:43.000]
I'm gonna go back to my powerpoint and share with you where you can go for additional support.
[00:31:48.000]

[00:33:33.000]
Here's the email on the screen. It will also be in your follow-up email my name is Tammi Burke.
[00:33:39.000]
I'm your senior training consultant from Gale and the training survey should pop up when you leave, but if you'd like to use, or access that from your phone, here's a.
[00:33:48.000]
QR. Code. You can just scan it, and we'd love to get your feedback on this session and also in that comment.
[00:33:51.000]
Section. If you want to add in, you know, from tell, we would love some training on whatever.
[00:33:59.000]
Just let us know we have again, as I mentioned a few more sessions coming up through the end of this year and starting in January we have another one scheduled, so be sure to check out the gale support site the in the follow up email there will be a link directly to the tell page but when
[00:34:19.000]
you log into your support site. You will also find that information there, but I'll put it in the chat.
[00:34:25.000]
This will take you to your product information and and I just erased it all down a second.
[00:34:29.000]
Your product information, and also all of the upcoming trainings that you have available. So I'll put that in the in the chat. Real quick
[00:34:45.000]
But otherwise that wraps our session, and I thank you all for your time today and it looks like I have a question that came through
[00:34:54.000]
Can you populate collection, manager with the ebooks so
[00:35:03.000]
If you so let me ask you this: what information do you need?
[00:35:09.000]
So, if you are, what information do you need to add ebook collections into your system?
[00:35:16.000]
We do have a lot of options available in Gale Admin, where you can add in if you have a let's say you have a barcode that you want student or your users to use when they're accessing you have that option you have great geo links through tennessee though
[00:35:32.000]
That I would suggest using for adding these ebooks into your discovery services.
[00:35:33.000]
Then there are some options available. I do let me go back a screen.
[00:35:43.000]
I do suggest reaching out to your gale customer, success, manager for support, and that should help.
[00:35:51.000]
Okay, Kabart files. If you're looking for all of the title lists, I don't know if that's the same question. Separate question
[00:35:59.000]
Those are going to be on the support site. Let me share with you where that information is located at.
[00:36:00.000]
So let me go back and share
[00:36:10.000]
Sure that support site real quick.
[00:36:16.000]
Okay. So if I'm on the support site, you're going to find those Kbart Files.
[00:36:21.000]
Title lists. If I let me sign in with Tennessee here
[00:36:26.000]
Actually I'll just choose
[00:36:31.000]
Looking, for.
[00:36:34.000]
Let's go with Nashville public
[00:36:41.000]
Hospital. There it is.
[00:36:44.000]
So I'm going to log in using Nashville public Library today.
[00:36:50.000]
Hmm! It's taking a couple of seconds here, and it takes me to my product list.
[00:36:53.000]
If I go into e-books, I think this is the information you're looking for.
[00:37:00.000]
Now, if you need discovery, service, type, information, or adding your e-book collections into your catalog.
[00:37:02.000]
Then we can help with that, too. There's some setup and Gale admin, that needs to be done.
[00:37:13.000]
Here are your e-books, and you can export those links.
[00:37:16.000]
I'm looking for the title list, so let me go back out this way and go into your title list, so I'm going to product support title lists, and I'm already logged in.
[00:37:27.000]
So it's going to keep me logged in.
[00:37:29.000]
Here's those cave art files. So I showed you.
[00:37:32.000]
MARC records, using product support we went to MARC records.
[00:37:35.000]
But if you're looking for the cave, art files the title lists are here.
[00:37:36.000]
You just go to titleists hopefully that answers your question.
[00:37:50.000]
Some vendors, cooperate with ocls. Okay, to have the ebook collections automatically activated there's going to be in the Wms.
[00:37:58.000]
Collection manager without having to download and then upload files.
[00:38:06.000]
I'm gonna share this with you. Our customer success managers are the ones that understand the gale, admin.
[00:38:15.000]
And what if there's any new capabilities available?
[00:38:19.000]
What I've shared with you is is what I know is available if there's something new as far as it automatically activating, I'm not aware of that I'll be honest there but if it is something that we do offer that that is a Newer feature they would know and let me
[00:38:36.000]
Put their email address. Just let them know what library you're coming from, and our customer success managers are market specific so that helps too
[00:38:50.000]
Okay, there's our email address. Send a quick email and they can help answer that question a little bit more
[00:39:00.000]
Oh, it is it did it log me out? Oh, you know what thanks Andrea.
[00:39:07.000]
I showed the keyboard files not just the ebook.

It should be? Is it under additional
[00:39:13.000]
Here it is. Gale ebooks tight all titles.
[00:39:15.000]
You have the excel titles there, that's one way to pull that information.
[00:39:19.000]
You'd have to go to the Gale. Thanks, Andrea for pointing that out I didn't even look that closely at it.
[00:39:21.000]
You'd have to go to the e-books if you scroll down to ebooks, then you would see.
[00:39:30.000]
Not that it had the what she was saying is the last page.
[00:39:34.000]
I was showing you was of all the the resources you have available from.
[00:39:35.000]
Tell not just the e-books
[00:39:42.000]
Okay. Thank you. Anonymous attendee for asking that question.
[00:39:43.000]
And I and again my the information I have on on that process.
[00:39:52.000]

[00:39:55.000]
They're the experts in that area
[00:40:01.000]
Okay. Thanks. Andrea. So Andrea will be following up on the question.
[00:40:02.000]
With you all because there's a few folks that have been asking.

[00:40:41.000]
Everyone
Welcome to your Tennessee electronic library training today's session.
[00:00:08.000]
We will discover the new titles within your Gale Ebook collection that we're just added this week by the Tennessee Electronic Library.
[00:00:16.000]
My name is Tammi Burke. I'm your Gale trainer.
[00:00:21.000]
Any questions that you have throughout the session. Please feel free to use that. Q.
[00:00:24.000]
A box for today's session. We will be.
[00:00:32.000]
I will be providing you with a very brief overview of gale ebooks.
[00:00:37.000]
The resource. But we're going to spend majority of our time taking a deeper dive into the new ebook titles that you have available.
[00:00:43.000]
From tell the collection search options we will cover, so we're going to cover some functionality of the resource to as we are, including all that great new content within the Ebook collections I will touch on touch on some of the tools and features that you have within the resource just so that you're
[00:01:01.000]
Aware that they are there, but the focus of this resource recently the focus of this training is the resource and the ebooks that you have available alright, our agenda is we will start with an overview of Gale ebooks.
[00:01:17.000]
The platform itself, or the resource itself, we will then look at the new Ebook collection, and then I will share with you where you can go for MARC records if you need the MARC records, we do, have them.
[00:01:27.000]
Already posted. Also. We will then explore all of the content and different ways that you can save and share the information.
[00:01:38.000]
Any questions that you have. Please feel free to use the Q.
[00:01:39.000]
And a box. I will leave you at the end where you can go for training materials and contact information.
[00:01:46.000]
So you have mine that will show up in the follow-up email.
[00:01:50.000]
But you also have one-on-one support. So if you do need help with your MARC records, or want to walk through the gale, support site, or talk about usage, reporting your gale customer success managers, can help with that they are your one-on-one support to access your tell resources you can go
[00:02:07.000]
directly to the Tennessee Electronic library. Site. It is organized wonderfully.
[00:02:12.000]
You're going to see right there on the home page, and it new information is going to be listed and posted.
[00:02:13.000]
There for you, so do. This is a great one to bookmark, even if you are using your own individual links to the resource, to your gale, resources, it's always good to bookmark, the site because New information when it's added, you'll be the first to know there along with your other channels of
[00:02:36.000]
communication with the folks at tell. So let's talk about Gale ebooks at the platform itself, or the resource.
[00:02:45.000]
So gale ebooks is available 31.
[00:02:47.000]
So anytime. Your users have access to a browser, they can access the content available within your very large ebook collection.
[00:02:59.000]
You have unlimited simultaneous access, so you could have an entire classroom of college students accessing one title at one time and also there are no holds or returns.
[00:03:12.000]
So there's no checking in or checking out of these titles.
[00:03:16.000]
Our platform, our resource of gale ebooks is mobile, responsive.
[00:03:17.000]
So your users can be accessing right from their cell phone if they want, and the screen will automatically adjust for them there's unlimited downloads available with your ebook titles.
[00:03:32.000]
From gale it is a very intuitive search and browse feature.
[00:03:36.000]
I always imagine having all of these print titles in front of me, and some of these titles you may have in your library, but now you have digital access unlimited access, unlimited downloads, no check-in checkout so when you're doing that search you have that great feature available where
[00:03:51.000]
It pulls back that content very quickly for your users, and it's a great brows feature you also, as one of your search options have topic finder which is a visual representation of your search results it's also interactive you can translate the text.
[00:04:08.000]
Into over 40 languages. So imagine you have a whole class of students.
[00:04:15.000]
Maybe accessing one title. They can translate that text.
[00:04:19.000]
So if you have users or students that need a different language, such as let's say Spanish, they can translate that text into Spanish and still be on the same page as everyone else.
[00:04:30.000]
Text to speech is available where your users can listen to the text being read aloud.
[00:04:35.000]
It also is downloadable as an integration with Google Microsoft and learning management, systems, such as canvas and schoology are also available with your gale ebooks platform or resource with that I want to start with the MARC records so let's.
[00:04:51.000]
Jump right in any questions. Don't forget to use that Q.
[00:04:55.000]
And a box, I will be monitoring it throughout the session.
[00:05:01.000]
So when you access the gale, support site and let me put this in the chat.
[00:05:07.000]
And this is this link will also be included in your follow up emails you, those of you watching the recording I will.
[00:05:16.000]
Have it on the screen towards the end of the session, so you can screenshot that.
[00:05:21.000]
But those of you attending live here is the link.
[00:05:22.000]
Now, if you're looking for your MARC records and I'm going to log into Tennessee's account now I know the location.
[00:05:29.000]
Id. But if you don't know your location, id all you have to do is click on find your location
[00:05:40.000]
So if I wanted to click on find my location, I could put in my name or zip code. There
[00:05:47.000]
Go back! This is where you're going to find your MARC records, and the reason why I'm showing you through through this window or through the support site is a couple things.
[00:05:57.000]
You can contact your customer. Success, manager so immediately. If I need to contact my customer success.
[00:06:03.000]
Manager. I can email them or make an appointment.
[00:06:06.000]
But what I want to share with you is under product support at the top you have the ability, as you can see.
[00:06:13.000]
Gale. MARC records click into gale, MARC records, and here I would want to go to ebook.
[00:06:18.000]
So see the navigation at the top. I'm in products which there are MARC records for all of your products.
[00:06:27.000]
When I click ebooks. Then I'm taken to all of my MARC records for my ebooks.
[00:06:33.000]
Now this is everything. But if you notice here I'm seeing dates now.
[00:06:35.000]
They're elf. They're alphabetical.
[00:06:39.000]
So how do I filter down to just the newest ones that have been added.
[00:06:43.000]
It's really quite easy on the right hand side. I have a few options.
[00:06:44.000]
If I was looking for a specific title, I could use that if I had an invoice number.
[00:06:47.000]
So if I'm purchasing my own titles for my library, I can use my invoice number, or I can use my invoice date now date is going to show me an I know that these were just added this week so I can see this date.
[00:07:05.000]
At the time, and now it is filtering. Immediately it filtered to, as you can see the titles that were just added.
[00:07:07.000]
This week.
[00:07:16.000]
And you have 50 titles here, and this is a great way, too.
[00:07:20.000]
If you're curious as to okay, I can see all the great titles along with the the titles I had previously.
[00:07:26.000]
What are the new ones? This is a great way to to see that information.
[00:07:30.000]
Okay, when you download the records I do have to select title.
[00:07:35.000]
It'll select all of those titles at once. They're 66 different records available.
[00:07:39.000]
When I download them. Don't forget that's going to be in the dot mark file.
[00:07:44.000]
Okay, because these are your MARC records alright, or Dot, M.
[00:07:49.000]
R C. File, but a dot, Mrc. File, a.
[00:07:54.000]
A mark file. Okay. So with that, let's go into the resource itself.
[00:07:58.000]
If you are accessing from the Tennessee Electronic library that you'll be land on the home page here.
[00:08:03.000]
And as I mentioned, here's these articles about: tell your new tell.
[00:08:09.000]
Databases are here at the top. So you're going to see that information.
[00:08:10.000]
But the quickest way to find your ebooks. If you go into all resources and just search for ebooks
[00:08:23.000]
I'm gonna find a database it comes right up at the top.
[00:08:27.000]
Okay. So you click into gale ebooks and log in with your information.
[00:08:32.000]
Alright. I should say I get prompted to log in with information, because I am in Michigan.
[00:08:39.000]
Okay. And then thanks, Andrea. So Andrew Zelke is here.
[00:08:42.000]
Your tell administrator, and she said on the homepage, she is going to be adding an article about the ebooks early next week, so be on the lookout for that, thanks.
[00:08:46.000]
Andrea, alright. So let's jump into gale ebooks.
[00:08:51.000]
So I've accessed either through my direct URL or through the Tennessee Electronic library. Site.
[00:09:01.000]
What am I going to find and what new collections am I, or what new ebooks am I going to find here?
[00:09:07.000]
Well, a couple of different features I want to point out before we dive in.
[00:09:10.000]
I can translate the platform here at the top, so I'm it over right around 34 languages, and when I translate that platform it will translate all my navigational tools.
[00:09:19.000]
I can sign in with Google or Microsoft, and I'm gonna sign in with Google because I want to show you a new feature that was added to Gale ebooks not too long, ago.
[00:09:27.000]
And I don't know if you've noticed it yet or not.
[00:09:30.000]
But I do have on the basic search advanced search. We will touch into these a little bit today, but I want to talk to you about all your different collections that you have available so you can see quite a few collections here i've been exploring all of them today.
[00:09:48.000]
At the bottom of this list. You also have a new collection.
[00:09:53.000]
It wasn't just out of this week, it was actually added a while ago.
[00:09:54.000]
I'm focusing on digital literacy. So you're going to see those collections listed at the bottom.
[00:09:59.000]
Now, let's say you're accessing this, and you think oh, I would like to customize this a little bit from my library. Can I do that?
[00:10:09.000]
You absolutely can and we have a session coming up at the end of this month, actually so it's December, the first talking specifically about how you can log in as a librarian.
[00:10:18.000]
And how do you create those custom collections, so that capability is available, and I will be sharing that with you at the end of well, I should say December first, so towards in a couple of weeks here right after the thanksgiving holiday.
[00:10:32.000]
So let's talk about some of the titles and what you're going to find looking at the homepage.
[00:10:37.000]
I do want to jump into a couple different collections and show you some of those titles that you are going to find.
[00:10:43.000]
So, for example, in history you're seeing the American eras here.
[00:10:47.000]
You're going to find a lot of encyclopedia, Gale Encyclopedia of type titles showing up.
[00:10:54.000]
Here's one. On fashion, costume and culture that is available.
[00:10:57.000]
So you're going to see new titles of available here.
[00:11:01.000]
The world. Eras are listed below. We have a uxl world eras.
[00:11:07.000]
I love this one for middle school. If you have any middle school students coming into your public library or if you're coming to us from a K.
[00:11:15.000]
12 library, some other titles that you're going to find.
[00:11:19.000]
If we go into medicine, the alternate and encyclopedia of alternative medicine, you have one on cancer.
[00:11:26.000]
You have, the gallon Cyclopedia of medicine here.
[00:11:27.000]
A genetic disorders. You're going to see a lot of new titles of available in this collection in the medicine section.
[00:11:37.000]
We have one on mental health. So some of these may you may be looking at be like wow, okay, that we've really expanded that section. There's great titles there.
[00:11:45.000]
I can't wait to highlight them. A few others.
[00:11:48.000]
Let me click into. I think it was biography. You have these men and women of science, and these are just a few.
[00:11:55.000]
I mean I could go through each of these collections and point out new titles that you have access to.
[00:12:03.000]
But I wanted to just show you a few that you have.
[00:12:05.000]
You do also have the business plans, handbook, anything that you see that has a series.
[00:12:10.000]
You may have more than one volume. We're going to go into a series today.
[00:12:14.000]
I do want to mention your business plans, handbook, and this is a great one.
[00:12:18.000]
I like to think of this almost as a teaser, because you have one volume there, but you have the complete business Hands Handbook in another resource.
[00:12:26.000]
And that's gale business entrepreneurship.
[00:12:29.000]
So you have all the entire series available there, but you do have one here if you want to access it and take a look at those business handbooks or the the business plans, they're fantastic.
[00:12:41.000]
I do have to say, but if you want the complete series and you want to hide that maybe you want to show the e-book here, and then also a link to the content available in gale business entrepreneurship there's a little what to use one type information okay, so let's talk about
[00:12:56.000]
Let's go into. I want to show you the collections.
[00:12:58.000]
Let's actually go to the arts, and we are going to click into books to film series, and we do happen to have one volume.
[00:13:10.000]
Now when I click into any of the e-book covers, it's going to take me to.
[00:13:11.000]
If it's a series it's going to take me to my lists of titles.
[00:13:14.000]
I have available, in all the volumes. If I go into a title like this Encyclopedia of clothing and fashion, then it takes me to the table of contents okay, so a little different when you do have a series, but both function similarly in this respect if you notice here on the
[00:13:40.000]
right hand side when I'm in a cover that, or in a title that just has.
[00:13:42.000]
It's just one singular title I have that ability to search within the publication itself.
[00:13:50.000]
This is going to be different than my basic search. Basic search is looking at your entire collection and define that title.
[00:13:57.000]
This for your entire tire collection. It does live here on the homepage, where, if I go into a series and I'm clicking into the cover again of this collection, I have the ability to search within the Series, or when I click into that particular volume, then I have the ability to search within the
[00:14:17.000]
Publication, so a few options available, even just when I click into that cover.
[00:14:24.000]
Now, when I do get to this point, I have some information I have about this series.
[00:14:29.000]
I have about this publication. It takes me directly to the table of contents.
[00:14:30.000]
I, am, my book Index, and also lists of illustrations all available.
[00:14:38.000]
Whenever I click into the cover itself. I also have the ability to go right to the book view, and that's what this view ebook is.
[00:14:41.000]
It would take me right to the book view which we have 2 different views, text view and book view, and I'll talk to you about the importance of each one.
[00:14:56.000]
So, if I'm scrolling down I'm going to go into the Da Vinci code, and when I do click into that from the table of contents when I do click, into that section of my Ebook it takes me to the great text view where I have some additional features and some different additional
[00:15:13.000]
Options of exploration. So when I'm in the text view, I have all my tools to support accessibility available.
[00:15:20.000]
I have the translate, tool, the ability to enlarge the text, to change the display options, and also listen to the text being read aloud to me when I'm in the book view
[00:15:36.000]
And let me make this double page click to the next page.
[00:15:39.000]
Here, when I'm in the book view. I don't have those same tools to support accessible.
[00:15:46.000]
So, if your users need to translate the text, they need to be in the text view are the images still included in those text views absolutely.
[00:15:54.000]
They are, and I can zoom in. I made this whole screen zoom in.
[00:15:59.000]
I can move this text around. I made it double page by just want it to be single.
[00:16:00.000]
Page. I can go back to that again. Zoom in as close as I want here and read that text.
[00:16:12.000]
Okay. So that's a difference between text view and book view.
[00:16:17.000]
I also always have the table of contents here, so I'm on the Da Vinci code, but maybe I want to go to the diary of a young girl.
[00:16:21.000]
I can do that, and I can still stay in this e-book title.
[00:16:31.000]
Looking at books. To film. Okay, if I want to share this, maybe this is something I want to share with my students or I.
[00:16:40.000]
Wanna I have some pro programming happening in my library, or as a faculty member, this is something we've read.
[00:16:47.000]
And now I want to share this information with my students that are taking this course.
[00:16:49.000]
I can use the get link tool that provides a persistent URL back to this exact spot.
[00:16:58.000]
What I love about the content on the page, so focusing more on the content.
[00:17:02.000]
Here is: I have the ability to explore more like this: so I'm in one document what happens to be 4 pages long.
[00:17:08.000]
It's a critical essay I can see up here the document type infrastructure.
[00:17:16.000]
It's a critical essay and work overview, but I want some more information about this, and I don't want to go all the way back out and do another search, so how can I find that information quickly I can use the explorer panel and find the more like this and this is connecting me to
[00:17:29.000]
more ebooks in my collection if I click on view all related articles, it's going to take me to a list of those so you can see.
[00:17:39.000]
I can go into detective fiction. I can go into Tom Hanks because he was an actor in the film and find more information or Ron Howard who was the director in the film.
[00:17:45.000]
So you can see how you can continue to explore through your collection that you have access to from the Tennessee Electronic library
[00:17:58.000]
So that explore panel. Is a great tool as I'm scrolling up.
[00:17:59.000]
I might as well mentioned that you do have the source cyitation attached here.
[00:18:05.000]
It is defaulted to Mla Ninth, but you can change it to Apa, Chicago and Harvard.
[00:18:10.000]
If this is a document that you would like to keep, you can simply send it to Google Microsoft email.
[00:18:19.000]
You also can download or print. If I download this, it's going to download right onto my device.
[00:18:29.000]
And you can see it is the print book version. So if we have that available you're going to see it here, which we do with these, and you have that, and it only prints so you can see it's only the 4 pages.
[00:18:43.000]
That I have within my search results or focusing on the Da Vinci cold code because I clicked into that document. Okay.
[00:18:50.000]
But that's download tool is right here in the contextual toolbar alright.
[00:18:55.000]
So we talked about the explorer panel. We talked about more like this let's go into a different collection so we're gonna go back to that homepage. Let's explore some more titles.
[00:19:04.000]
That you have available this time. I want to go into medicine, and, as I said, you're going to see quite a few titles of available here going into medicine.
[00:19:15.000]
Now I want to search within my collection. So let's try this search option, and let's say I have.
[00:19:22.000]
Maybe I have some medical professionals, or I have patrons coming into my library, and they need more information on as fib
[00:19:36.000]
And you can see it's starting to pull it up for me I'm going to use search assist, because it makes my life a lot easier.
[00:19:42.000]
And then search, and it'll filter down my content.
[00:19:47.000]
So when I do a basic search. Now I did. I didn't do a basic search.
[00:19:51.000]
I'm sorry I went through my my collection.
[00:19:54.000]
I searched just within my collection a basic search I'm at 165 results.
[00:20:01.000]
It'll primarily pull from the medicine collapse.
[00:20:05.000]
But I may find some other titles in there that may not necessarily be as relevant because it is going to look through all of my titles for specifically for a fib for that term, and this is I'm focusing just on medicine I just want to be in the in the collection of
[00:20:24.000]
Medicine. So there's a difference there between the 2.
[00:20:25.000]
So understand that. What I'm going to see in my search results.
[00:20:28.000]
I do have the cover again, and I do have the publication title anytime I click into either of these.
[00:20:37.000]
It's going to take me to that table of contents when I want just this article, and this one happens to be 5 pages long, and this is a disease and disorder overview.
[00:20:46.000]
Then I can click on to the title, and it'll just take me to those 4 pages.
[00:20:54.000]
But I do get a bit of a summary of information here on the right-hand side I can filter down my results.
[00:20:55.000]
I also have the option to export my results now before I export my results, I may want to filter it down to let's say just procedures, because, if I look at these top ones, it's telling me what is a fib again, and again, and again, so, maybe I want to look more
[00:21:20.000]
At procedures. Okay, this is something I'm dealing with, or my father is dealing with, and I want some information on this, and I want to know what are the procedures available.
[00:21:29.000]
So I can use. My filter your results, and you can see you have subjects and document type publication, titles, publication, languages, which is different than translating the text itself, because you have that ability on every single document available within this collection to translate into over 40 languages this is if you happen to have a
[00:21:50.000]
Publication in another language. In your search results such as let's say Spanish, I have content levels which is really great.
[00:21:58.000]
If you're working with students, especially K. 12 students, you can filter by content level.
[00:22:03.000]
I will share this level. 3 is middle school and then ones, and twos elementary fours and 5 high school into undergrad.
[00:22:11.000]
But I'm going to search with, and I want to look for procedures
[00:22:18.000]
And submit, and now it's taken me to now 91 different results.
[00:22:24.000]
If I wanted to export this information. What does that look like?
[00:22:28.000]
And this is a new tool that we have available. When you click on.
[00:22:31.000]
Click on export results. I have some options. You can see Max results for export is a 1,000.
[00:22:37.000]
So that's quite a few different or quite a few that I have available that I can export.
[00:22:43.000]
I can choose to send it to Google to one drive or Google drive Microsoft, one drive download or email when I do send that information it will land in a folder in my Google drive
[00:22:58.000]
And it'll be titled. Gale ebooks what?
[00:23:01.000]
It'll look like is the spreadsheet here which I have open.
[00:23:03.000]
It's a Google sheet, and I have. These are my search results that I filtered down.
[00:23:11.000]
I can see all of those linkers here that I've added.
[00:23:14.000]
I also have the article chapter: Where is this coming from?
[00:23:18.000]
I have publication, information, and then here's a direct link to that that section or that chapter.
[00:23:19.000]
That article, so it's a great tool that I have available.
[00:23:30.000]
Again. It is going to be located after you've done some kind of search.
[00:23:31.000]
So I did a search within my collection of metric. Then you're going to see that export your results in that contextual toolbar
[00:23:47.000]
So that's a new tool that we have available, and and you know, keeping that list especially for programming or for use in the in the classroom either.
[00:23:57.000]
College, Higher LED. Or K. 12. It's a great tool to have, because you have all those titles you're librarian and your your curating collections.
[00:24:07.000]
That's a great option too. You want to offer these collections and put it into a file to organize it for yourself for your programming great ideas to use for your library.
[00:24:18.000]
Okay. Let's look into another. And I wanted to share with you a series here.
[00:24:22.000]
So let's go back to our ebook collections, and this time we are going to go into history.
[00:24:31.000]
You have 24 titles, and we're going to go into the American Era's History or American Eras Series, and these are great primary sources, and you could see you have quite a few volumes here available and we're going to go into the civil war and reconstruction when I
[00:24:46.000]
click into it. Now I do have again the ability to search within the series.
[00:24:50.000]
When I click into this volume it takes me again same place into the table of contents.
[00:24:57.000]
I can either view the book book view. Remember, that's book view right here.
[00:25:01.000]
If I wanted to start I can search with my publication.
[00:25:04.000]
I can search within all volumes, too, but I want to search just within this volume because I'm talking about reconstruction and and the Civil War, and so maybe I wanna look at what was Tennessee's roll in that I can do that so you can see here in that title it's pulling
[00:25:26.000]
Back anything related to Tennessee, civil war and reconstruction.
[00:25:33.000]
If I want to filter this down because this is something we're studying in class, and I want to filter it to.
[00:25:39.000]
Maybe middle school and high school levels I can apply that, and it filters those results down to 6 different documents if it's okay to have some level fives in there, which as you saw some of them showed up.
[00:25:52.000]
Then I can. I can remove that filter. If I want to share this information, I can use the git link tool or I can use Google classroom and pull this right into Google classroom and share it with my students.
[00:26:07.000]
Alright. Let me know if there are any questions I wanna do one more search with you, and then I want to share with you.
[00:26:15.000]
Top finder you do have any of the I will share any of the Dk series, and I'm just going to do a basic search.
[00:26:22.000]
So you can see what that looks like. And the difference between going through a publication as compared to a basic search. And we're going to pull in another title. Actually we're gonna use a term this time and look at our results
[00:26:43.000]
Here's my search. Assist helping me out, because my spelling isn't the best.
[00:26:46.000]
The title I wanted to take a look at. Remember I mentioned the uxl are great for for middle school students, and you can see some of them are 3.
[00:26:54.000]
Some of them are fours. So this is a title I wanted to share, but you can see here.
[00:26:59.000]
I have 186 results. Looking at when I'm talking about ancient civilizations.
[00:27:05.000]
But what I wanted to share with you. I like the Uxl titles, especially with that book, view, but also the Dk.
[00:27:11.000]
Titles are fantastic with the book view. But look at this one.
[00:27:15.000]
You have critical thinking questions built in. So you're gonna find some of that within the this collection that you have available within some of these titles.
[00:27:22.000]
You're going to find these critical thinking questions available. Now we this is published by Gale and our great editors have been adding this type of content, for a while you also are seeing interlinking so if I, wanted to find more information I have the more like this on the right hand side but I also have
[00:27:41.000]
This interlinking happening so I can find related articles that I have available.
[00:27:45.000]
So additional exploration into additional collections that you have are titles that you have.
[00:27:52.000]
This one also happens to have words to know available. If I look at this in the book view, same idea as what I shared with you before.
[00:28:02.000]
But you can see here the critical thinking questions. I may have some. This has the word.
[00:28:07.000]
To know. I may have some maps available as images. Especially if I'm looking at the geography but a lot of great content available in this new ebook collection that you have or these new titles you have within your collection.
[00:28:21.000]
Alright. So we talked about Google classroom briefly. The only other thing I want to share with you is topic Finder.
[00:28:28.000]
Before you leave me today you you will always find topic finder in any of your gale resources.
[00:28:34.000]
Under advanced search, click, into advanced search, and I have the topic.
[00:28:39.000]
Finder. Search option here. Now, let's say I'm a small business owner, and I want to find everything I have on small businesses, and I'm not really sure exactly what I want. I just want.
[00:28:50.000]
Whatever information I can find within this collection, and what I love about topic finder is, it shows these keywords that maybe I didn't necessarily thought about.
[00:28:58.000]
Like I know I have some ideas of what I need help with, but if I'm starting a small business, or maybe I'm continuing to manage it, what am I missing, I want to expand I want to grow and I want to utilize my library for help so looking at my search results it's visual
[00:29:13.000]
it's interactive. I can click into the subject of management.
[00:29:18.000]
It will zoom in and continue to drill down. So I have 32 different dials available on the right hand side from my ebook collection.
[00:29:27.000]
But let's say I've clicked into small business.
[00:29:29.000]
I clicked on management, and I want information on owners like as an owner.
[00:29:33.000]
What do I need? Is there stuff that I have available small business tax?
[00:29:34.000]
Labor unions and small business span control, workplace, anger, so different information.
[00:29:42.000]
But I went through this visual process, using topic finder, and as soon as I click into it it'll take me to that section.
[00:29:50.000]
It could be a chapter, it could be an article or or a section of pages available within the e-book, and anytime I click into even at the article level.
[00:29:57.000]
If I go into, let's say labor unions and small business.
[00:30:04.000]
I still have that table of contents here, and I can see what publications it's coming from.
[00:30:10.000]
This is coming from and encyclopedia of small business, and I can go back to topic finder
[00:30:18.000]
Alright. Let me know if there are any questions I want to share.
[00:30:21.000]
One more search with you, and that's using advanced search.
[00:30:24.000]
I know, I said topic finder would be last just because you can put in 2 terms let's say I want computer science and I will share this with our advanced search.
[00:30:36.000]
If you use the search, assist option it automatically puts it into quotation marks for you so it'll look for the term computer science because it is in quotation marks.
[00:30:48.000]
Maybe I want computers, science and engineering
[00:30:53.000]
And I'm just going to click search. I've got some great limiters here that I can add if I wanted to.
[00:30:58.000]
If I wanted to change the target audience or content level, I also have guided reading Level and lexile measure available here.
[00:31:07.000]
I'm gonna click, search, and then again, there are my results.
[00:31:12.000]
570 results. So when you're doing those basic basic search advanced search, remember, it's searching through everything.
[00:31:13.000]
Your entire huge, awesome collection that you have available here's one on scholars.
[00:31:24.000]
This is a new title, too. Your scholarship, fellowships and Loans you book this, and there's a American women, men and women of science you're seeing here so a lot of great titles even just in these search reasons and don't forget you have those great filter

[00:34:45.000]
But otherwise that wraps our session, and I thank you all for your time today and it looks like I have a question that came through
[00:34:54.000]
Can you populate collection, manager with the ebooks so
[00:35:03.000]
If you so let me ask you this: what information do you need?
[00:35:09.000]
So, if you are, what information do you need to add ebook collections into your system?
[00:35:16.000]
We do have a lot of options available in Gale Admin, where you can add in if you have a let's say you have a barcode that you want student or your users to use when they're accessing you have that option you have great geo links through tennessee though
[00:35:32.000]
That I would suggest using for adding these ebooks into your discovery services.
[00:35:33.000]
Then there are some options available. I do let me go back a screen.
[00:35:43.000]
I do suggest reaching out to your gale customer, success, manager for support, and that should help.
[00:35:51.000]
Okay, Kabart files. If you're looking for all of the title lists, I don't know if that's the same question. Separate question
[00:35:59.000]

[00:36:00.000]
So let me go back and share

[00:36:50.000]
Hmm! It's taking a couple of seconds here, and it takes me to my product list.
[00:36:53.000]
If I go into e-books, I think this is the information you're looking for.
[00:37:00.000]
Now, if you need discovery, service, type, information, or adding your e-book collections into your catalog.
[00:37:02.000]
Then we can help with that, too. There's some setup and Gale admin, that needs to be done.

[00:37:16.000]
I'm looking for the title list, so let me go back out this way and go into your title list, so I'm going to product support title lists, and I'm already logged in.
[00:37:27.000]
So it's going to keep me logged in.

[00:37:35.000]
But if you're looking for the cave, art files the title lists are here.

[00:38:15.000]
And what if there's any new capabilities available?
[00:38:19.000]
What I've shared with you is is what I know is available if there's something new as far as it automatically activating, I'm not aware of that I'll be honest there but if it is something that we do offer that that is a Newer feature they would know and let me
[00:38:36.000]
Put their email address. Just let them know what library you're coming from, and our customer success managers are market specific so that helps too
[00:38:50.000]
Okay, there's our email address. Send a quick email and they can help answer that question a little bit more
