Gale Training

[00:00:05.219]
Hello and welcome again everyone. Today,

[00:00:07.530]
we have another Gale one on one session.

[00:00:09.919]
This one is focused on Gale In Context: World History

[00:00:12.210]
My name is Amber

[00:00:14.239]
Winters and I am your senior training

[00:00:16.269]
consultant for the day.

[00:00:18.359]
So a quick agenda first, we'll overview the

[00:00:20.399]
resource. So the content you'll expect

[00:00:22.600]
to see the age level.

[00:00:24.798]
It's been created for things like that. Then

[00:00:27.190]
we'll talk about some of the different key content types

[00:00:29.298]
you're going to find within the resource. So

[00:00:31.440]
not just reference works but all of the

[00:00:33.459]
other different types of content we have available

[00:00:35.630]
for you and your users. We'll spend

[00:00:37.770]
the majority of the time though actually walking through the platform.

[00:00:40.250]
So you can get a feel of the workflows

[00:00:42.279]
where the different tools are located. Some

[00:00:45.079]
kind of fun little bits that

[00:00:47.168]
we're going to take a look at in the resource as well.

[00:00:49.389]
And then at the very end of the session, we will have

[00:00:51.618]
some time for any questions that weren't answered as

[00:00:53.759]
we moved along today.

[00:00:55.679]
And I do have some contact information

[00:00:57.859]
for you as well. So moving forward, if you have

[00:01:00.020]
additional questions, I'll give you the information

[00:01:02.529]
for the the person you should reach out to.

[00:01:06.849]
So let's go ahead and get started here. So

[00:01:09.308]
Gale In Context: World History is really designed

[00:01:11.650]
specifically for secondary level

[00:01:13.870]
students up through adult learners.

[00:01:16.198]
So this is used frequently in high schools,

[00:01:18.400]
you'll find it in colleges and universities

[00:01:20.579]
and you also find it in public libraries. Again,

[00:01:23.180]
for adults who may be trying to learn

[00:01:25.500]
a little bit more about world history

[00:01:29.379]
and we break this down into different subject

[00:01:31.849]
areas. So some of the key ones are countries,

[00:01:33.948]
cultures and civilizations. So if

[00:01:36.079]
you have maybe a student coming in with a project

[00:01:38.299]
about a specific country, we actually

[00:01:40.448]
have country topic pages created

[00:01:42.668]
for them that can kind of help them land on

[00:01:44.730]
some information.

[00:01:45.879]
We also have information on events, decades

[00:01:48.120]
and trends, people. So if we're looking

[00:01:50.370]
for biographies, we've got a nice biography collection,

[00:01:53.069]
religions, as well as wars and conflicts.

[00:01:55.480]
So this is a pretty vast resource.

[00:01:57.549]
Again, since it's a world history, it's coming

[00:01:59.659]
all the way from ancient history to more

[00:02:01.709]
contemporary history throughout the world.

[00:02:05.370]
In addition to the content, we also

[00:02:07.418]
have some great support tools that you find within

[00:02:09.439]
the resource as well. So we have a nice

[00:02:11.469]
highlights and notes feature if you have users

[00:02:13.580]
coming in trying to maybe highlight

[00:02:15.629]
the key points of articles or just highlight important

[00:02:18.080]
bits that they want to save for later. We

[00:02:20.330]
do have that highlights and notes capability.

[00:02:22.419]
We have full translation options. So users

[00:02:24.770]
who need a language other than English can

[00:02:26.875]
translate any of our articles, a read

[00:02:29.153]
speaker for those who prefer to listen to the text,

[00:02:31.694]
text manipulation that allows your users to

[00:02:33.774]
change the line letter and word spacing,

[00:02:36.104]
change the font, change the colors,

[00:02:38.284]
a great citation generator. So anyone

[00:02:40.493]
who's working with students, this is

[00:02:42.594]
a great way to get buy in for those students. If

[00:02:44.735]
they, you know, just prefer to go to Google or some

[00:02:46.883]
other search engine.

[00:02:48.179]
When they do that, they have to build their own citation

[00:02:50.629]
within our platform, we have a full citation

[00:02:52.919]
generator for them. So all they need to do

[00:02:54.949]
is click a button. So it's a great way to get engagement

[00:02:57.479]
from students is to, to let them know that they're,

[00:02:59.490]
they're not building their own citations.

[00:03:01.860]
We're also integrated with both Google and Microsoft.

[00:03:04.360]
So if you or your users find content you want

[00:03:06.460]
to save for later, you can send over to your

[00:03:08.538]
drive and it will remain in your drive forever,

[00:03:10.649]
you'll be able to access it whenever you need it.

[00:03:14.770]
Now, let's talk just a quick bit about

[00:03:16.868]
some of the different content types we have within this resource

[00:03:19.319]
that are going to be helpful. So the first

[00:03:21.379]
one that I think most of us think of when we think about

[00:03:23.750]
gale resources is going to be our reference

[00:03:25.838]
articles and as you would expect, of course,

[00:03:28.058]
we do have a huge collection of reference material

[00:03:30.409]
that's going to be both kind

[00:03:32.610]
of an overview, as well as more detailed information

[00:03:34.990]
about topics, people,

[00:03:37.288]
events

[00:03:38.679]
areas. Anything you can think of, you'll find

[00:03:40.750]
a lot of reference articles that are going to support

[00:03:42.758]
that. And you notice here in my screenshot

[00:03:44.979]
a lot of times we include these little sidebars

[00:03:47.338]
in our reference articles where you'll find things

[00:03:49.639]
like main ideas. This is the one is

[00:03:51.740]
main ideas. You also find critical

[00:03:53.778]
thinking questions, sometimes fast

[00:03:55.909]
facts or vocabulary terms.

[00:03:58.330]
So they're a nice addition to our reference articles.

[00:04:00.808]
So not only are your users reading

[00:04:02.868]
this information, but they're kind of prompted

[00:04:04.919]
to learn a little bit more to dive a little bit deeper

[00:04:07.179]
through these sidebars that you'll find throughout

[00:04:09.649]
our reference articles.

[00:04:12.439]
We also have a, a huge collection

[00:04:14.740]
of multimedia content. So if

[00:04:16.769]
you're looking for content that's going to kind of move

[00:04:18.910]
past just the text, you want

[00:04:20.988]
students more engaged with different

[00:04:23.309]
forms of content, you'll find things like videos,

[00:04:25.790]
images, audio files, a lot of

[00:04:27.879]
podcasts within this resource. So

[00:04:30.350]
these are great. You know, if you just have sort of

[00:04:32.540]
struggling readers who are trying to grasp a new topic,

[00:04:35.278]
or maybe if you're an educator and you want

[00:04:37.428]
a quick bell ringer, you know, you can pull up

[00:04:39.649]
an interesting political cartoon or

[00:04:42.009]
have your students listen to a podcast really fast

[00:04:44.139]
at the beginning of your your lesson. So

[00:04:46.410]
these are really nice, simple ways

[00:04:48.569]
to give your students some additional context around

[00:04:50.858]
whatever topic you're learning about.

[00:04:53.670]
We also have a nice primary source collection

[00:04:55.920]
within this resource. So right now, we have

[00:04:58.019]
over 1800 primary sources

[00:05:00.298]
and those are going to include both

[00:05:02.338]
text. So you know,

[00:05:04.809]
letters,

[00:05:06.559]
articles, things like that, but you'll

[00:05:08.569]
also find images, you may

[00:05:10.608]
find like an older video, maybe a recording

[00:05:13.160]
of a speech being given. You'll

[00:05:15.509]
find all of that in this resource here as well.

[00:05:17.528]
So if you're ever looking for a primary

[00:05:19.579]
source, this is a nice place for you to stop.

[00:05:22.040]
And what's great is we do label primary

[00:05:24.149]
sources as primary sources.

[00:05:26.170]
So if you do have students coming in who are

[00:05:28.278]
maybe struggling with the differences

[00:05:30.439]
between a secondary source and

[00:05:32.500]
a primary source, we've made it really easy

[00:05:34.920]
for them to see what exactly is primary

[00:05:37.369]
within our resource.

[00:05:40.509]
As I mentioned before. We also have a nice

[00:05:42.660]
large people section within this resource.

[00:05:45.108]
So a lot of biographies, they're going to highlight

[00:05:47.298]
the lives again of individuals all

[00:05:49.379]
the way from ancient history, up to more

[00:05:51.738]
contemporary history.

[00:05:54.259]
And finally, these timelines that

[00:05:56.329]
we have within this resource, they're unique to Gill

[00:05:58.600]
and context, world history and Gill and context

[00:06:00.660]
High School. But they're nice visual

[00:06:03.040]
timelines that are focused around either an

[00:06:05.059]
event or a person So we have both people

[00:06:07.170]
timelines and event timelines. And what's

[00:06:09.259]
great is again, they're very visual.

[00:06:11.869]
So you'll be able to you know, share out

[00:06:14.028]
if you want to send it over to a drive or maybe

[00:06:16.160]
you want to get a link to share out with your students

[00:06:18.619]
or your patrons if I have anyone on the public

[00:06:20.790]
library on the line. So really

[00:06:23.129]
simple way to access content and just

[00:06:25.369]
shoot it out really fast and get some good

[00:06:27.920]
bits of information there.

[00:06:32.500]
Now let's just go ahead and get into the resource

[00:06:34.559]
instead of talking about it. I think that's the best way to

[00:06:36.649]
learn. While I switch over to

[00:06:38.869]
my resource here. Are there any quick

[00:06:41.040]
questions about just the very basics

[00:06:43.379]
of the resource?

[00:06:48.470]
OK. I don't see any. So we'll go ahead

[00:06:50.678]
and keep rolling then. So this is the home

[00:06:52.889]
page of gal and context World History. This is

[00:06:54.959]
what you and your users will see every time

[00:06:56.970]
you sign into the resource. So just

[00:06:59.019]
a little lay of the land on the home page here

[00:07:01.319]
at the towards the middle of the home

[00:07:03.500]
page, we always have topics of interest

[00:07:05.660]
and these generally change monthly depending

[00:07:07.954]
on what's going on. If something,

[00:07:09.754]
You know, if it's an anniversary of something specific,

[00:07:11.994]
you may see that listed here or

[00:07:14.814]
just other bits of information. So you'll see we

[00:07:16.863]
have three that your users can kind of click through.

[00:07:19.225]
So if they're not quite sure what they want to take a look

[00:07:21.384]
at, sometimes these will spark some interest

[00:07:23.595]
and they can click in and kind of take a look at these topics

[00:07:27.778]
then scrolling down underneath these topics of interest.

[00:07:30.129]
We also have these different browse

[00:07:32.420]
topics sections here. So again, as

[00:07:34.509]
I mentioned a little bit before we really break down

[00:07:36.699]
the resource into pretty specific

[00:07:39.238]
categories here. So you'll see, like if you had,

[00:07:41.309]
we have our biographies pulled out separately,

[00:07:43.480]
our wars are pulled out separately. If we're

[00:07:45.519]
learning about religions, if you're teaching a religions

[00:07:48.040]
class, we have religions pulled out here separately

[00:07:50.250]
as well.

[00:07:51.338]
And what's nice is all of these different topics

[00:07:53.689]
and these topic sections are actually pre created

[00:07:55.879]
topic pages that we at Gale

[00:07:57.899]
have made for all of the most search

[00:08:00.689]
and most used terms within

[00:08:02.769]
the resource.

[00:08:04.660]
So what we've done is we've made a nice clean landing

[00:08:06.980]
page. So instead of your users

[00:08:09.108]
seeing just the basic search results, if

[00:08:11.389]
they click into a topic page, they're going to get an overview

[00:08:13.778]
at the top of the page followed by all

[00:08:16.040]
of the different types of content organized for

[00:08:18.108]
them to kind of click through. So it's a great way

[00:08:20.170]
for them to find content without even

[00:08:22.290]
running a search. So they can click through any of

[00:08:24.369]
these, let's click

[00:08:26.480]
into events, periods and cultural trends

[00:08:31.108]
and you'll see it's a pretty long list of topic

[00:08:33.320]
pages here.

[00:08:35.119]
And I do want to mention that these are not the only

[00:08:37.210]
topics found within Gale In Context: World History

[00:08:39.700]
So if, if your users

[00:08:41.859]
are clicking through, trying to find a topic

[00:08:43.869]
page like this instead of running a search and

[00:08:46.038]
they can't find what they're looking for.

[00:08:48.149]
It just means we haven't made that hand

[00:08:50.379]
curated topic page yet. So at that point,

[00:08:52.788]
they're going to run a search and they'll find information

[00:08:55.019]
in kind of that standard search results page.

[00:08:58.168]
But I do like to highlight topic pages because

[00:09:00.440]
they're really nice way to make

[00:09:02.678]
sure users are getting the most relevant information

[00:09:05.369]
in the easiest way because of course, especially

[00:09:07.769]
if we're talking about younger researchers,

[00:09:10.038]
you know, in high school, they may not be

[00:09:12.250]
the most adept at building

[00:09:14.479]
search terms yet. So the fact that we have

[00:09:16.710]
these handmade topic pages for them

[00:09:18.869]
is going to make it a little bit easier for them to navigate

[00:09:21.529]
and find content and just build confidence

[00:09:23.788]
in their own research skills.

[00:09:26.139]
So I just jumped up here back

[00:09:28.399]
to the home page again. The first

[00:09:30.479]
way we can find content is by using this browse

[00:09:32.678]
topics, but we can actually find

[00:09:34.869]
topic pages with our search as well.

[00:09:37.168]
So I'm going to search today for the Cold War.

[00:09:42.158]
Let me jump back a little bit here. So see when

[00:09:44.259]
I start typing in, I have a lot of predictive

[00:09:46.389]
text options that pop up underneath my

[00:09:48.788]
search.

[00:09:49.960]
Anything you see here that's listed in bold.

[00:09:52.629]
So you'll see. These ones are all listed in bold here.

[00:09:54.889]
These are actually topic pages. So if students

[00:09:57.200]
click into these, instead of

[00:09:59.538]
just running a basic search,

[00:10:01.580]
they're going to get that curated experience.

[00:10:03.960]
So again, I'm going to go with the Cold War today.

[00:10:08.969]
Now, this lands me on a topic page. So

[00:10:11.048]
again, this is what I'll see instead of a basic

[00:10:13.320]
search. So at the very top here, I have

[00:10:15.538]
just a brief overview. I can hit, read more

[00:10:17.750]
to read the full thing.

[00:10:19.788]
We try to keep these overviews

[00:10:21.989]
fairly short. This one's a little bit longer

[00:10:24.038]
here, but you'll see, we have critical thinking

[00:10:26.070]
questions down at the bottom. We

[00:10:28.349]
try not to make these too long because these are really just

[00:10:30.538]
giving

[00:10:31.710]
that starting point for your user. So

[00:10:33.869]
if you're starting a new unit maybe

[00:10:36.009]
or, you know, you're, you just

[00:10:38.288]
never seen this topic before.

[00:10:40.649]
A great place to start is to have them read that

[00:10:42.849]
overview right here off the topic page just

[00:10:44.889]
to get them going.

[00:10:47.080]
And then once they kind of get their footing with this overview,

[00:10:49.359]
they kind of understand the basics of the topic,

[00:10:52.298]
they can start to scroll down and they're going to see all

[00:10:54.340]
of the results that we have related to this topic

[00:10:57.000]
organized here on this page section.

[00:10:59.750]
So, so we have broken it up with reference content,

[00:11:02.399]
our videos are pulled out separately. Anyone

[00:11:04.719]
working with more advanced users who need academic

[00:11:07.000]
works or academic journals have been pulled out

[00:11:09.129]
separately as well. Biographies

[00:11:11.399]
are primary sources,

[00:11:14.139]
news magazines, all that good stuff.

[00:11:17.279]
So, scrolling down here still on that topic page. Now

[00:11:19.359]
you're going to see those content types kind of

[00:11:21.570]
pulled up a little bit. So each of these

[00:11:23.649]
content buckets and you'll see the first few

[00:11:25.750]
entries here

[00:11:27.320]
and your users can just start to scroll down and see if anything

[00:11:29.469]
is interesting to them. If they're looking for a primary

[00:11:31.500]
source. Again, as I mentioned, we pull

[00:11:33.668]
our primary sources out separately and label

[00:11:35.788]
them as primary sources. So

[00:11:38.070]
this is a really nice way to make sure

[00:11:40.090]
they're not confused as they're researching what

[00:11:42.119]
exactly is primary and what secondary secondary,

[00:11:45.379]
they can actually click right on and view all of our primary

[00:11:47.538]
sources here.

[00:11:50.700]
And what's nice is our labeling gets even more specific

[00:11:53.119]
if you're looking in these little flags here. So this

[00:11:55.320]
primary source is a speech

[00:11:57.649]
looks like this one is also a speech.

[00:11:59.840]
This is a resolution

[00:12:02.200]
you can go through through and see these kind of change

[00:12:04.369]
based on what they are.

[00:12:06.070]
But if they're looking for a primary source, this is an excellent

[00:12:08.500]
way for them to go it. So just find the topic

[00:12:10.529]
page first and click through to primary

[00:12:12.859]
sources.

[00:12:15.038]
I'm gonna jump back here to my

[00:12:17.139]
topic page again

[00:12:18.739]
because I do want to show you at the very

[00:12:20.869]
bottom here. You'll see we have related

[00:12:22.950]
topics. So, as your users

[00:12:25.019]
are starting to learn more about the Cold War,

[00:12:27.330]
they may see other topics that are starting to pop

[00:12:29.548]
up that they're not quite sure about. Maybe it's the space

[00:12:31.719]
race, maybe it's

[00:12:33.940]
just Germany in general was going on in Germany.

[00:12:36.668]
they can click into these different topics

[00:12:39.000]
and be launched into whatever

[00:12:41.700]
topic they've clicked into on

[00:12:43.769]
a new topic page. So instead

[00:12:45.869]
of having to run multiple

[00:12:47.918]
search searches to find information on different topics,

[00:12:50.479]
they can literally just point and click between each

[00:12:52.649]
of these topics to see different topic pages.

[00:12:54.820]
You'll see if I click here into space race,

[00:12:57.739]
same exact format just with the

[00:12:59.788]
space race

[00:13:01.619]
information,

[00:13:04.330]
but let's stay with the Cold War today.

[00:13:07.389]
Now, as I mentioned, we have a lot of timelines

[00:13:09.580]
for different people and events and

[00:13:11.639]
we do actually have a timeline for

[00:13:13.979]
the Cold War.

[00:13:15.288]
Any timelines we have are going to be found

[00:13:17.298]
under the images content bucket since

[00:13:19.509]
it is technically an image. So if

[00:13:21.519]
I click into all of my images,

[00:13:26.250]
you see, I can click right here into my Cold War

[00:13:28.399]
Time line.

[00:13:30.859]
And now I get this nice little visual here.

[00:13:35.479]
You see it's fairly long, fairly substantial.

[00:13:38.129]
but they can go through and kind of read each

[00:13:40.320]
of these little steps here. The timeline

[00:13:42.460]
of the Cold War.

[00:13:43.859]
And if this is about an individual, it does actually

[00:13:45.940]
look the same way, but of course, it's focused on the

[00:13:47.950]
individual's life. So you'll get their birth, their death

[00:13:50.269]
and then anything they did in between

[00:13:56.029]
now lets go back to the main topic.

[00:13:58.168]
Page one more time

[00:14:00.369]
because I wanna show you some of the different filters

[00:14:02.389]
we have available. So I'm just going to click into my

[00:14:04.538]
reference materials. Let's say I'm

[00:14:06.570]
a user who does actually need a piece of text,

[00:14:08.759]
maybe to include in a project

[00:14:11.190]
or something like that.

[00:14:12.729]
I'm going to click into the mirror reference here and you'll see right

[00:14:14.779]
now, we have 264

[00:14:17.080]
reference articles,

[00:14:19.200]
which of course is a lot, but I

[00:14:21.219]
probably don't need all of these. So

[00:14:23.279]
we've built in some really great filters that are going to

[00:14:25.288]
help us out here. So I can choose

[00:14:27.619]
to kind of narrow this down. I can choose by subject.

[00:14:30.000]
So of course, we're looking at the Cold War.

[00:14:32.288]
Um But maybe more specifically what we want to

[00:14:34.440]
learn how kind of nuclear weapons were

[00:14:37.158]
um incorporated

[00:14:39.418]
or thought about in the Cold War. Maybe

[00:14:41.548]
we wanna look at the arms race. We'll see if we

[00:14:43.558]
can narrow it down even further here.

[00:14:46.668]
We can also narrow down based on a document

[00:14:48.750]
type. So while of course, all of these are reference

[00:14:50.788]
works, some of them are gonna be a little

[00:14:52.869]
bit different. Some of them are going to be viewpoint essays.

[00:14:55.070]
So someone's thoughts on an event, some

[00:14:57.399]
are going to be basic topic overviews,

[00:14:59.649]
scrolling down here.

[00:15:01.529]
We'll have brief articles and things like that.

[00:15:03.808]
So we can also narrow down by document

[00:15:05.940]
type here.

[00:15:08.798]
Nice and simple.

[00:15:10.099]
And I will mention briefly

[00:15:12.399]
if I were to have run a basic search instead

[00:15:14.460]
of clicking into a topic page. This is actually

[00:15:16.830]
the page I would have seen. OK. So this is

[00:15:18.849]
actually what a basic P A basic search

[00:15:20.950]
page looks like

[00:15:22.538]
you'll see at the top. I can toggle

[00:15:24.690]
into different types of content here. So

[00:15:26.788]
I did click into reference but I can

[00:15:28.918]
easily maybe jump over, let's say to audio,

[00:15:31.298]
I wanna see what sort of audio files I have available.

[00:15:34.840]
I can do that here. And again, I still have my filters

[00:15:36.989]
attached.

[00:15:40.259]
Now, let's take a look at some of the different tools

[00:15:42.570]
we have available while we're in a document

[00:15:44.849]
here. So some of the different tools that you're going to be

[00:15:46.928]
able to use, your users will be able to use

[00:15:49.190]
to really enhance their learning.

[00:15:52.989]
OK. So I've just clicked into this first article.

[00:15:55.389]
The Cold War

[00:15:57.229]
looks like it loaded up a little bit strange in my

[00:15:59.330]
account, but that's OK.

[00:16:01.000]
Um So I just because this first article, the Cold

[00:16:03.349]
War here and I want to point out our

[00:16:05.399]
tools here on this top, right

[00:16:07.570]
hand side of the page. The first one

[00:16:09.710]
is going to be our citation option. As I mentioned,

[00:16:12.099]
we have citations for every bit

[00:16:14.219]
of content within this resource. So even

[00:16:16.288]
our videos and our images and

[00:16:18.359]
our audio files,

[00:16:20.058]
your users will have access to a citation.

[00:16:22.259]
You'll see either Mlaap a Chicago

[00:16:24.418]
or Harvard

[00:16:26.359]
and they can export the citation, they can of course

[00:16:28.649]
just copy and paste it and put it into a work

[00:16:30.710]
cited

[00:16:31.548]
or they can use noodle tools, easy web

[00:16:33.750]
or they could send over to their drives even. So

[00:16:35.798]
if they just want to save the citation, maybe to their

[00:16:37.879]
Google Drive, they can do that right there.

[00:16:42.090]
And as great as the citation is also found here

[00:16:44.479]
at the very bottom. There

[00:16:46.519]
we go of the page

[00:16:48.279]
so they can pull the citation here as well,

[00:16:57.019]
scrolling back up here. So next

[00:16:59.129]
to citation, we also have our send to option.

[00:17:01.629]
So if you or your user wants to save

[00:17:03.879]
this information for later, maybe it's

[00:17:05.969]
they are going to be using it in a project, but they can't

[00:17:08.358]
use it today, you know, they're gonna use it tomorrow.

[00:17:10.689]
They can send over to their drive, either Google

[00:17:12.838]
Driver or Microsoft

[00:17:15.039]
onedrive. It will save in a folder that's

[00:17:17.250]
called Gale In Context: World History

[00:17:19.588]
and it will be there for them indefinitely.

[00:17:21.670]
So anytime they need it, it's going to be sitting

[00:17:23.729]
there waiting for them

[00:17:24.949]
and they can also choose to email it. If they

[00:17:26.979]
prefer email. If they want to send over to

[00:17:28.989]
a pier, they can certainly do it that way.

[00:17:32.299]
Next to our send two option, we also have options

[00:17:34.519]
to download or print the document. So

[00:17:36.699]
if they prefer a hard copy, they can print

[00:17:38.789]
it or if they want it on their desktop,

[00:17:41.019]
they can download it here. It does download as

[00:17:43.059]
a PDF for them.

[00:17:45.959]
Right next to these options. We also have our get

[00:17:48.078]
link button. This is handy if

[00:17:50.219]
you are trying to share content. Maybe if

[00:17:52.299]
we have any teachers on the line, you're trying to include

[00:17:54.430]
this in a rubric for a project

[00:17:56.818]
or something like that or put it in a discussion board.

[00:17:59.098]
This gut link is a great way to do that. This is

[00:18:01.219]
a persistent URL. So it's a bookmark to

[00:18:03.279]
this page. It's not going to break

[00:18:05.858]
or get lost or anything like that.

[00:18:07.880]
So we always recommend using this gut link

[00:18:10.068]
if you want to share a link instead of clicking

[00:18:12.098]
into the address bar and sharing a link that

[00:18:14.180]
way because it is permanent.

[00:18:16.348]
And what's nice is this get link button actually

[00:18:18.640]
follows you along through the majority of the

[00:18:20.699]
resource. So you can get a link to a topic page.

[00:18:23.259]
If you're just starting to learn about the Cold War

[00:18:25.309]
and you want your students to have the topic page handy,

[00:18:27.858]
you can use get link there, you can get

[00:18:29.910]
a link to a search results page. So

[00:18:31.979]
if you run a search and you want your students to take a look

[00:18:34.049]
at your results,

[00:18:35.348]
we can just get link there as well.

[00:18:38.259]
Also handy for any public libraries

[00:18:40.759]
on the line who are maybe planning

[00:18:42.920]
on doing some sort of social media blast and are

[00:18:44.939]
finding content to include in that social media.

[00:18:47.380]
You can just quickly add a link and your patrons will

[00:18:49.459]
be able to access that way

[00:18:52.959]
if I scroll down here under the title, these

[00:18:55.430]
options here, the send to download and print

[00:18:57.618]
are also included right here under the title

[00:18:59.809]
within the main body of the article. You'll see my

[00:19:01.858]
Google drive button,

[00:19:03.130]
my onedrive, my email, download

[00:19:05.170]
and print and these actually do the same

[00:19:07.269]
thing. So we've added just a little bit of redundancy

[00:19:09.390]
into the resource to make sure your users can

[00:19:11.529]
find the tool. So they don't see it up

[00:19:13.680]
here, then hopefully they'll see it down here or vice

[00:19:15.759]
versa.

[00:19:17.930]
And on the left side here under the

[00:19:20.009]
title, we have what I like to call our text

[00:19:22.019]
manipulation or accessibility

[00:19:24.078]
tools. So the first one listed here

[00:19:26.269]
is our translate option and we can translate

[00:19:28.439]
the article into quite a few different languages

[00:19:31.618]
as needed. And we can also set

[00:19:33.680]
in an interface language and I'm going to do that

[00:19:35.689]
just so we can take a quick look. So when

[00:19:37.828]
I choose that, I'll choose my language. So

[00:19:40.049]
we'll go to Spanish today.

[00:19:42.078]
And when I changed that interface language, now, all

[00:19:44.380]
of my search here and my

[00:19:46.430]
navigation and all of my tools are in

[00:19:48.469]
whatever language I chose.

[00:19:50.358]
What's nice is this translation option

[00:19:52.449]
actually follows you along throughout the session. So

[00:19:54.858]
if you do have you know native Spanish

[00:19:57.130]
speakers or other languages, and they prefer

[00:19:59.259]
to have their information provided to them

[00:20:01.269]
that way

[00:20:02.170]
they can change the interface and have all of their tools

[00:20:04.420]
ready to go in Spanish.

[00:20:07.828]
But I'm going to go ahead and stay here in English. You'll see

[00:20:09.900]
it. You also have the ability to change it right here up

[00:20:11.939]
top as well.

[00:20:15.318]
And then we have a quick question here.

[00:20:17.549]
If you use get link, will users have to

[00:20:19.650]
authenticate to view the content.

[00:20:21.729]
So actually, no, so if you use get link

[00:20:23.858]
and share it with your users, they'll be able to access

[00:20:26.430]
whatever piece of content you shared without authentication.

[00:20:29.459]
If they decide to move forward in the resource.

[00:20:31.670]
So, you know, they want to learn more and they click into a different

[00:20:33.880]
article at that point, they'll need to authenticate.

[00:20:36.618]
However, they normally authenticate through your

[00:20:38.729]
library. So if it's password, if it's

[00:20:41.229]
um geo authentication,

[00:20:43.289]
something like that, but just clicking

[00:20:45.449]
into that one specific link that you use the

[00:20:47.519]
get link for, they will not have to have

[00:20:49.588]
to authenticate and they'll see that bit of information

[00:20:53.368]
great question. Thank you for that.

[00:20:59.130]
So moving on here from our translate

[00:21:01.519]
option, you'll see, we also have the option to increase

[00:21:03.799]
or decrease the font size as needed.

[00:21:06.140]
So whatever makes it easier for us to see.

[00:21:08.598]
And the next to that option, we also have

[00:21:10.608]
a displays option. So this is

[00:21:12.709]
really where we can get specific and how

[00:21:14.838]
we want to access this information.

[00:21:17.078]
I can change the background colors here,

[00:21:20.059]
I can change my font. We do have a dyslexia

[00:21:22.068]
font available

[00:21:24.309]
and I can also change the line letter and word spacing.

[00:21:27.430]
So again, trying to make this as accessible

[00:21:29.750]
as possible for your users. However, they prefer

[00:21:32.118]
to get this information, we want to make sure

[00:21:34.150]
they can get it that way. And once they do

[00:21:36.269]
set these settings, they get everything ready to go.

[00:21:38.588]
This will follow them along throughout their session as

[00:21:40.759]
well too. So as they click into

[00:21:42.900]
new articles, they're going to keep this yellow background,

[00:21:45.259]
they're going to keep this fonts, um any

[00:21:47.880]
spacing changes, they're going to keep those as well.

[00:21:51.680]
I'm going to go back to default. I want to leave

[00:21:53.699]
it at default for now.

[00:21:55.858]
And the last tool I'm going to point out on

[00:21:58.039]
this document page is going to be our listen option.

[00:22:00.900]
So when I click that listen button, I'm just going

[00:22:02.979]
to pause out here. it pulls forward this

[00:22:05.118]
little listen bar and it's actually going to read through

[00:22:07.150]
the entire article. What's nice is

[00:22:09.170]
as it reads through, if I have images

[00:22:11.430]
with captions like this one, it's

[00:22:13.549]
going to read the caption for me as well. And if I have

[00:22:15.650]
sidebars, I believe we have a couple

[00:22:17.910]
down here.

[00:22:20.559]
If we have any of those blue sidebars looks like we

[00:22:22.630]
don't have this page. Um It's going to

[00:22:24.650]
read through those sidebars for me as well

[00:22:28.049]
and it does read in whatever language you translate

[00:22:30.279]
to. So if you have your users translate to

[00:22:32.390]
a specific language before they hit the listen

[00:22:34.529]
button, when they hit play, it's going

[00:22:36.578]
to read to them in that language.

[00:22:43.130]
Now, I went through a lot and I have one more thing to show you.

[00:22:45.279]
But before I do, does anyone have any questions

[00:22:47.420]
about

[00:22:48.269]
navigating the resource, topic

[00:22:50.459]
pages, document types,

[00:22:52.650]
document tools,

[00:22:54.719]
anything like that at all?

[00:23:01.630]
OK, I don't see any. So the last

[00:23:03.809]
thing I wanna show you is how to easily find

[00:23:06.279]
different content types within the resource,

[00:23:08.328]
specifically, those timelines that I mentioned before.

[00:23:10.920]
Sometimes it's nice to just see all of those

[00:23:13.259]
kind of together on one page. So I'm

[00:23:15.539]
going to do that by clicking into my advanced

[00:23:17.630]
search which is found right here next to my

[00:23:19.699]
search bar.

[00:23:23.449]
And from here, what's great is I can narrow

[00:23:25.568]
down to a content type here. So if I want

[00:23:27.608]
to see all of the primary sources within the

[00:23:29.989]
resource, I can do that or all of the

[00:23:32.088]
biographies. But if I go one

[00:23:34.289]
step further down and narrow down by document

[00:23:36.838]
type, timelines

[00:23:39.170]
are actually listed here.

[00:23:45.358]
So if I click the timeline and run my search

[00:23:47.380]
here, this is the blank search. You'll see. I didn't put

[00:23:49.410]
anything

[00:23:50.439]
in my search terms

[00:23:52.689]
section, I just clicked in the timeline.

[00:23:55.170]
I run my search

[00:23:57.539]
now, you'll see all of the different timelines that I have

[00:23:59.549]
listed in here, both related to people

[00:24:01.890]
and related to events.

[00:24:05.500]
So this is a nice way if you're just interested,

[00:24:07.568]
you just kind of wanna see what we have available

[00:24:09.709]
to take a look at all of these and you can kind of navigate

[00:24:12.229]
through and

[00:24:16.750]
you can still use filters like I showed before.

[00:24:19.509]
So while we're in timelines, you can

[00:24:21.578]
see the different subjects that we have timelines

[00:24:23.910]
about. You can click into any of those if you're

[00:24:25.989]
interested and

[00:24:27.239]
kind of narrow it down that way.

[00:24:32.719]
And you can do this really with any document

[00:24:35.029]
type. If I go back to advanced search here

[00:24:38.229]
and scroll down, it's a pretty huge collection

[00:24:40.479]
of documents here. So if you're

[00:24:42.598]
looking for something specific, you can just

[00:24:44.930]
filter the list here, see if we have

[00:24:47.180]
it, check it off and run your

[00:24:49.269]
search. So that's a nice way to find a very specific

[00:24:51.588]
content type that you might

[00:24:53.608]
be looking for. Maybe a letter or a speech

[00:24:56.160]
or something like that.

[00:25:02.180]
OK.

[00:25:03.380]
Now, that's what I have for you today within Gillen

[00:25:05.608]
context. World history. I do have some

[00:25:07.729]
quick wrap up information that I want to, to

[00:25:09.858]
get out to you just to make sure you have support moving

[00:25:12.118]
forward with this resource. So

[00:25:14.250]
if we have any questions, please go ahead and put those

[00:25:16.449]
into the Q and A.

[00:25:18.189]
Otherwise, I'm going to jump back here to my

[00:25:20.410]

[00:25:22.750]

[00:25:25.019]
