You can utilize this site and I am going to post that in the chat. I'll also leave it up here on the screen for anyone watching the recording.

[00:01:57.000]
So they have that information. Once you access this link, it'll take you to this screen. At this point is when you would like to you would need to enter in your library information.

[00:02:11.000]

You can use also use that drop-down menu and it'll start just like our search assist within your gale resources once you start to populate that field you will see a list below that will will help you out.

[00:02:32.000]
And then once you click proceed. It'll take you to your list of all of your products built into your product links will be your location ID.

[00:02:35.000]
I didn't pick a location when I did the screenshot because I wanted to keep it.

[00:02:48.000]
As open as possible. So what you would see here is your specific location ID. The the great thing is with when you use your direct URLs is you are able to capture usage.

[00:02:58.000]
And if you're looking for usage reports or looking to see what's trending or tap searches or any of those items, our usage dashboard will be able to pull that information up for you.

[00:03:03.000]
Once you're using your direct location. IDs. You'll also find information on your ebooks, including Mark records, training materials, marketing materials, any of our upcoming sessions will be here under training and also the recordings.

[00:03:22.000]
There's some great technical documents. Our academic folks here at Gale have created some fantastic technical documents that we've shared there for our higher ed folks, VPET information, and then this website link will take you right back to the state Washington State Library's site.

[00:03:39.000]
So there's just kind of a quick overview. Of what you're going to find on that site.

[00:03:43.000]
Let's talk about the Gil OneFile resources. And I am just showing a few here. I don't have all of them.

[00:03:52.000]
And we're going to talk about 4 of them today. But I do want to give you just a general look.

[00:03:57.000]
If you look at the titles of each of the resources and these are all again in our Gale OneFile product family.

[00:04:04.000]
And you can see that in the orange on each icon Gale OneFile. Anything with OneFile in the title here like general OneFile or in the title of the resource is periodical content.

[00:04:17.000]
So you're going to find academic journals. You're going to find magazines. Newspapers, there's some multimedia available within these resources.

[00:04:26.000]
And you can see looking at the product name like Yale OneFile Business, this resource is focused on business content and pulling in publications and periodicals from that from different business industries.

[00:04:36.000]
So. Keep that in mind when you look at the title, it's going to give you information on what you're going to find within that.

[00:04:45.000]
Gale General OneFile up here in the upper right is our largest general interest periodical database. So this is a great one for your public library patrons.

[00:04:57.000]
It's used at the K 12 level. So this is a great one for your public library patrons.

[00:05:01.000]
It's used at the K 12 level for your public library patrons. It's used at the K 12 level.

[00:05:07.000]
It is also used at the academic level, but more used at the higher at or academic level is academic OneFile.

[00:05:11.000]
And this is used by researchers, especially at that college level and above faculty members are utilizing this resource.

[00:05:14.000]
It is our largest academic journal, aggregation that we have. You'll also find subject or discipline specific resources, one that I love to point out is educators reference complete.

[00:05:27.000]
This is a great resource for your teachers. If you're an instructional coach or if you have future teachers at your your higher ed and at your university or community college.

[00:05:40.000]
This is a great resource to recommend to them. They'll even find lesson plans available here, but great magazine content and newspaper content.

[00:05:49.000]
If you're looking at maybe project based learning and you want to teach that in the classroom, you're going to find great content here within that resource.

[00:05:56.000]
We are going to talk about Gale OneFile news today. And then also inform my academical that I want to point out and that one's here.

[00:06:05.000]
Inform me academical. Is our Spanish and Portuguese periodical publications? Now you can translate all of the text in every single one of these resources into into over 40 languages.

[00:06:19.000]
But I do want to point out that this one is specifically publications, Spanish and Portuguese publications.

[00:06:26.000]
So that's a little different than just translating. So. Keep that in mind. Let me know if you have any questions about any of those publications, but in addition to let me go back.

[00:06:37.000]
Oh, where did we go? There we go. In addition to the collections here that I've shared with you, you still have more.

[00:06:47.000]
So there's even more OneFile collections available from the Washington State Library. We are going to talk about the big 3 today and that's Academic OneFile General OneFile and Gale OneFile News.

[00:07:00.000]
And we're also going to talk about Gil OneFile, Health and Medicine today. So this is one more to mention and that we are going to talk about.

[00:07:09.000]
Gale OneFile Health and Medicine was, well, let's let's go back.

[00:07:13.000]
Let me start with General OneFile. That's the one we're going to start with today.

[00:07:17.000]
It is, as I mentioned, the largest general interest periodical resource. It has more than 204 million articles with 14,000 magazines, newspapers, reference books, multimedia, and it is updated daily.

[00:07:31.000]
Your academic OneFile is the premier source for peer reviewed. Full text articles for academic research. Has over 110 million articles across 19,000 publications.

[00:07:45.000]
Over almost 10,000 of those are full text and this is also updated daily. Really all of these are updated daily.

[00:07:47.000]
But I did put that in my notes to really point out because those are used fairly often. The last of the big 3 is Gale OneFile news and this provides access to over 1,100 major US regional national and local newspapers.

[00:08:09.000]
As well as over 1,700 leading titles from around the world. So it is global. We are a global company, so you're going to find global publications there.

[00:08:14.000]
It also includes thousands of images, radio, and TV broadcasts, and transcripts are available too in Gale OneFile News.

[00:08:27.000]
And then one more to mention, honorable mention, I like to point out here, and this is one we're going to go into today, and that's Gale OneFile Health and Medicine.

[00:08:36.000]
Now this resource is created specifically for students, medical students, nursing students. Knowledgeable consumer health researchers, and also health care professionals.

[00:08:47.000]
This resource is perfect for up to date information on the complete range of healthcare topics you're going to find over 3,000 non embargoed full-text periodicals, reference books, pamphlets, and more available in Gil, OneFile, Health and Medicine.

[00:09:01.000]
These are great for researchers to really get that current information, scholarly comprehensive answers to health related questions.

[00:09:18.000]
Okay, so we do get that question. How much overlap is there between general, OneFile and academic OneFile databases.

[00:09:23.000]
So academic, there is a bit of overlap because for example the Washington Post, you may find the Washington Post, great publication that we are going to talk about today in general and file and academic OneFile and academic OneFile.

[00:09:32.000]
But academic OneFile and academic OneFile and academic OneFile. But academic OneFile is focused more on file and academic OneFile. But academic OneFile is focused more on those scholarly journals.

[00:09:39.000]
Focused more on those scholarly journals. So it is going to be different. In that respect.

[00:09:47.000]
Okay, and my other question is.

[00:09:53.000]
Are there subsets of the primary OneFile? Yes, and that's a great question too. Thanks, Will, for asking these.

[00:10:00.000]
There is a percentage and I can get exact numbers of unique content that is not available in general OneFile or academic OneFile and they are that's why when I talk about the big 3 you are getting those publications you are seeing that information if it is unique to that topic like educator reference complete for example, but you will also have additional

[00:10:23.000]
publication information or periodicals in those resources like computer science that are not going to be found in the other resources.

[00:10:31.000]
OneFile, economic OneFile, or general OneFile. So there is still unique content in each one of those individual collections.

[00:10:41.000]
What we love about the collections is it gives you more of a focused view. So if you know you are looking for, you're coming from a public library and you're doing some programming around eating healthy and you want some recipes or different information and you want to send folks to one resource.

[00:11:01.000]
Culinary arts is a good one for that. So keep that in mind that it is a smaller piece of that pie and it is a more focused look at research and content.

[00:11:07.000]
So there is a little bit of overlap there. But, you will find unique content in each one of those unique collections.

[00:11:22.000]
Okay, thank you for answering. Are asking those questions. Let me know if you have any more or if you want any more clarification on that.

[00:11:30.000]
If you really want to examine the title list, the they are available on the Gale support site. So if you wanted to examine them for overlap, I used to, I think I have a document somewhere.

[00:11:41.000]
So, Will, if you would like that. Just let me know. Okay, let me go back to PowerPoint.

[00:11:48.000]
And let's talk about these a little bit. Remember, this is a great one for general interest.

[00:11:55.000]
It's periodical resource for all users. You can see some of the publications that we have featured within this resource you U.S.A. Today, New York Times Chronicle of Higher Ed book lists could keep good housekeeping, Washington Post.

[00:12:09.000]
These are just a few. And as I mentioned, full-text magazines, journals that have been recommended for libraries.

[00:12:16.000]
We've included newspaper audio content. Reference and it all complements resource robust collection with millions of articles available.

[00:12:27.000]
So that one is a great one for, as I said, general interest. And then you get a little bit more specific with our Academic OneFile.

[00:12:34.000]
Streamline discovery at your students fingertips but not just for students. It's for academic for faculty and anyone, any one at that academic level doing research.

[00:12:43.000]
It really connects our learners to the information that they're looking for and all the tools that I'm going to share with you today are available across all of the resources.

[00:12:53.000]
There is one feature that is unique in academic OneFile because we have had a lot of researchers asking for this.

[00:13:00.000]
There is the ability to download the list of articles with links back to each individual article. Into an Excel spreadsheet.

[00:13:09.000]
So I'll share that with you today and model it for you. But keep in mind that it is right now only available in Gale Academic OneFile.

[00:13:17.000]
It was actually requested a lot. In Europe, like I said, we're global, so we, those requests were coming.

[00:13:26.000]
From our European market but we did it is available here in the US too. And this resource provides millions of articles.

[00:13:34.000]
We've talked about this, but I also want to mention that there are, you're going to find sources including from NPR and CNN as well as thousands of podcasts and transcripts videos from BBC Worldwide Learning.

[00:13:43.000]
Expensive coverage in key subject areas and you're going to find publications such as The Economist, the New York Times, the Times Financial Times are all available.

[00:13:53.000]
Full text articles from periodicals covered in major bibliographic resources such as SINEL, MLA, Eric, E.

[00:14:08.000]
Conlet, and others.

[00:14:13.000]
OneFile news, Gale OneFile news is one we're going to talk about today and you're going to find that access to over 2,300 major US regional and I mentioned this regional national and local newspapers.

[00:14:25.000]
It also includes images and radio and TV broadcasts. This used this resource is great for users to search for articles by title, headline, date, author, even the newspaper section or other fields.

[00:14:40.000]
And there's options to filter that content. Utilizing this information here. So by the newspaper section, if that's something that your users are interested in.

[00:14:53.000]
And then we talked about health and medicine and just keep in mind that this one is really great for, more that higher level of information of health and medicine.

[00:15:03.000]
So again, your students, your medical professionals, you'll find case studies. Available here within this resource.

[00:15:13.000]
But if you're looking for consumer health. We have one that's outside of the OneFile family and that's Gale Health and Wellness.

[00:15:22.000]
So let's say you have. Patrons coming into your library looking for information on dementia.

[00:15:28.000]
Gale, health and wellness is a great resource to direct them to, where this resource, G one, file, health and medicine, keep that medicine in mind.

[00:15:36.000]
Again, is for that higher level or next level of researcher information. We have a lot of medical professionals that utilize the content that's being updated in here.

[00:15:41.000]
Daily with information. I was actually just searching in here the other day for trial information for a family member.

[00:15:54.000]
So, and it did provide me with great stuff right away.

[00:15:59.000]
So with that, let's dive into the resources. Again, let me know if you have any questions.

[00:16:00.000]
Throughout this session. We are going to go into general OneFile first. So let me share that screen with you.

[00:16:11.000]
The product menu, this is A quick way for me to jump between. But the product menu is a great way to access information.

[00:16:23.000]
If you Within your resources, I'll share with you where you can find this. If you are moving between resources or you have researchers and you want to show this product menu, it was updated a couple of years ago and it now has all of your databases.

[00:16:39.000]
You have the icons, you have a brief summary of them. You can filter your list by name or you can go into each individual type here at the top.

[00:16:45.000]
So for periodicals, this is where I'm going to find all of my OneFile resources.

[00:16:56.000]
So you can see I, the screenshot or the. Slide on the PowerPoint was only a little bit of what you have access to.

[00:17:05.000]
So again, if you're looking for those specific or subject specific discipline specific. Resources, pop and pop culture studies or I think it's right up here.

[00:17:15.000]
Let me point it out.

[00:17:19.000]
Contemporary women's issues. I know this is a great one for those courses at the higher ed level.

[00:17:26.000]
These are great ones to share with your faculty. That you have available diversity studies is another one.

[00:17:32.000]
Small business, Gil OneFile entrepreneurship or OneFile business. Are great ones that you have available to.

[00:17:40.000]
But we are going to talk about. Gale General OneFile right here in the center first and I still have it open here.

[00:17:47.000]
Now I did sign in to save a little bit of time into Google because I can at any time share information and send it directly to my Google Onedrive or I'm sorry, Google Drive or Microsoft Onedrive.

[00:18:01.000]
Both options are available. These are part of our workflow tools. If we have any folks using Google Classroom, if you have any K 12 folks today and you sign in to Google and you're set up as a teacher you can automatically send information or put information directly into your Google Classroom.

[00:18:18.000]
You also have the ability to translate the navigational tools or the interface here. Into 34 languages.

[00:18:26.000]
This is separate then when you're at the document level and translating the text in that document. So there are 2 separate features.

[00:18:34.000]
Now these are shared features. Everything I'm going to share with you today are shared across all of your Gale resources.

[00:18:40.000]
There are a few items that are unique to your OneFile as compared to your in context or health and wellness resources that I will point out to you.

[00:18:47.000]
But they are shared features across all of your Gale resources except for the search alerts and journal alerts, which I'll talk to you about.

[00:18:59.000]
You have your basic search and advanced search and today we are going to dive right in and take a look at.

[00:19:04.000]
Since this is an overview, I am going to keep it at that higher level overview and encourage you to explore this resource.

[00:19:08.000]
And your own, but I want to cover as much as possible. We do have in general OneFile academic OneFile.

[00:19:20.000]
These 2 resources, we have some topics of interest here on the homepage. Our other one. File resources.

[00:19:22.000]
You'll see the title, the basic search, advanced search, and then you'll have these search tools available.

[00:19:33.000]
But the topic information here is only available on that general OneFile and academic OneFile. And we do have that ability to quickly jump into one of these topics.

[00:19:41.000]
We have a contextual toolbar over here to the right hand side and this will change depending on what tools we need.

[00:19:52.000]
I can browse all my topics right here. If you've ever been in our Gale in context, any of our G and context resources that you have.

[00:19:58.000]
From the Washington State Library, this will look a little familiar with the browse topics because we do have topic pages.

[00:20:01.000]
Available in those resources. We have topic finder subject search guide and publication search that all live here on the homepage.

[00:20:16.000]
They also always in all of your Gale resources will live under advanced search. So you'll always find them here.

[00:20:20.000]
So let's say you do access and in context resource and are looking for topic finder. Remember, it always lives under advanced search.

[00:20:32.000]
Alright, so let's go into, we're going to do a couple different search options. We're going to start with our first path going through a subject category and we're going to go into news and current events.

[00:20:43.000]
You can see here I can go to a curated collection of information. And I do have a few listed.

[00:20:49.000]
We are going to go into animal rights and this has been curated for me. So if I wanted to share all of this content, I have all of my content types you can see here in the center of the page.

[00:21:02.000]
Magazines, news, academic journals. This is where you're going to find your peer reviewed is under academic journals.

[00:21:07.000]
We have some multi, multimedia with images and videos. We also have essential overviews and some reference books available.

[00:21:09.000]
Now remember this is a periodical resource so we will have far more magazines, academic, and news articles available, our academic journals and news articles, then we will the reference books.

[00:21:29.000]
So, because again, we're focusing on that periodical content, but you will still find reference available.

[00:21:35.000]
Now, if again, if I wanted to share this, I could use my get link tool, which provides a persistent URL back to this exact spot within the resource.

[00:21:44.000]
Or if I were pulling it into Google Classroom, I could do the same thing. I just click into Google Classroom and make my selection.

[00:21:52.000]
Am I making an announcement or am I creating an assignment? And then I can pull this right into my Google classroom, posts immediately.

[00:22:00.000]
When we are looking at this list, if I wanted to go to my academic journals, I could use that content type, click into it, and it would take me to just those 239 academic journals.

[00:22:14.000]
You can see I have publication information here, even what type of document it is. Lexile measures are here and then peer reviewed.

[00:22:23.000]
So if it is a peer reviewed article, we'll see that little check mark and the peer reviewed here.

[00:22:29.000]
On the right hand side, if I wanted to filter all of my journals down to just peer reviewed, I can just select peer reviewed.

[00:22:38.000]
And it will automatically filter everything down. Anytime I make any selections in my filter, filtering my results or my filter box over here to the right hand side.

[00:22:48.000]
It will apply to all of my content at once. As you can see, I just jumped to just my academic journals, but I have a hundred 67 of them that are peer reviewed.

[00:23:00.000]
Another item I can do, I'm going to remove that. If I wanted to filter down to content within just the last year.

[00:23:08.000]
And I can do that. If I wanted to filter, if I'm specifically looking for newspaper articles and I want the most recent I can use my sort by.

[00:23:19.000]
And filter to the most recent. You can see this is from. May 20 third, which is 2 days ago.

[00:23:26.000]
And, that's a quick way to do that. Now, another thing I can do is over on my filter my results, I can use choose publication date.

[00:23:36.000]
And I maybe I want everything from the past year. And this will again apply any filters I select over here.

[00:23:42.000]
Will apply to all of my content at once. So now I have. The magazine articles, academic journals and news articles that are from the past year.

[00:23:53.000]
I can use the get link tool and share that information maybe on my library website or if I'm sharing with a group.

[00:23:59.000]
I that I'm working with in the classroom. I want to pull it into my classroom. I want to pull it into my into my coursework, but then I'm working with students.

[00:24:08.000]
I can do that. I can use that get link tool. It's a way to kind of curate your own collection of information.

[00:24:16.000]
Anytime I want to remove a filter. I just simply click on the X in the blue box here and it removes it and takes me back to everything that I have available.

[00:24:25.000]
We have these essential overviews in our OneFile resources and you can see these are topic overviews or an essential overview.

[00:24:30.000]
These are coming from these are something that we published. So you're seeing some information here coming from Gale, but these are newer that we've been at.

[00:24:47.000]
Well, shouldn't say that new, 2,019. But you will find them here in your periodical resources.

[00:24:53.000]
When you do click into a document, a few things I want to point out just real quick and then look we're going to come back to the tools to support accessibility.

[00:25:01.000]
But you have this great explore panel. A lot of times our researchers or our students or faculty members.

[00:25:10.000]
Content and find an article that they're interested in but need additional supplemental information. The explore panel really helps with that.

[00:25:19.000]
Even your your patrons coming into your library, they're looking at this information and they can view more like this.

[00:25:26.000]
So more information on the right hand side that supplements the article that they're currently on or document that they're currently on.

[00:25:28.000]
Even for our images and videos, you're going to find that explore panel. So find a video that you're interested in.

[00:25:37.000]
But you want maybe a topic overview to go along with it or a brief article, utilize that more like this panel.

[00:25:50.000]
Alright, let's go to, we filtered our results. Let's go into advanced search.

[00:25:56.000]
So advanced search, again, lives right next to our basic search bar. I can access it even when I'm within a document.

[00:26:03.000]
And from our homepage, it also is right next to our search bar. So let's do a different search option.

[00:26:07.000]
I want to introduce you to as many or as all of them today. And today we are going to do a search on iPad.

[00:26:18.000]
This actually just recently came up.

[00:26:24.000]
I'm just going to keep that as a keyword, but under document type and you can see a few things I want to point out.

[00:26:30.000]
You do have the operator special characters and these are really helpful search tips. For example, if I click on quotation marks, It gives me not only an explanation, but gives me an example.

[00:26:45.000]
So an understanding of why would I use quotation marks. Also, if I had multiple terms and you'll see this in one of our other resources we're going to explore.

[00:26:54.000]
If I had multiple terms and you search assist, it'll automatically put it in quotation marks for me.

[00:26:55.000]
I have a variety of fields to choose from also. I'm keeping it at keyword, but you may want to search through the entire document or if you're looking for a specific subject you can do that.

[00:27:10.000]
Author, there's all kinds of pre limiters that you have available to help you filter down your content and find exactly what you're looking for.

[00:27:16.000]
Quickly, very helpful to our users. Now I am going to go to the document type here.

[00:27:26.000]
And I'm going to select. Buyer's Guide. And then search. And this is going to pull back full text.

[00:27:37.000]
Based on my keyword of iPad. Hi, Pad, with the document type of, buyers guide.

[00:27:46.000]
And I can quickly find exactly what I'm looking for, I'm searching information about the iPads and you know which are the best ones on the market or what do I need to look out for or which one has a little battery life or whatever it is I'm looking for.

[00:28:00.000]
I also have news articles available. And academic journals. So all are here. So we do have those buyers guides available within this resource too.

[00:28:12.000]
So we've talked about. Talked about current events and animal rights we also are looked at a buyers guide well now let's take a look at topic finder, which is another search option.

[00:28:24.000]
As I mentioned, it always lives under advanced search or From the home page, you can start your search using topic finder.

[00:28:35.000]
And let's take a broader look at. Information around climate change.

[00:28:43.000]
Topic Finder is a visual representation of your search results. It's in interactive. You have 2 visualization options, the tiles, which it's defaulted to.

[00:28:53.000]
Or the wheel. Both are available.

[00:28:58.000]
Tiles is a little bit more popular and that's why it's defaulted there, but you can see right here at the top is where you can make that change.

[00:29:06.000]
Once I am in the tiles, I can select one like extreme weather. It will zoom in and start to populate my information on the right hand side.

[00:29:16.000]
With another click, I can drill down even further. To drought and find 6 articles that could be images, videos, all available here related to climate change, extreme war weather, and droughts.

[00:29:30.000]
This is a really popular tool for research. Especially with our students at any level. And our patrons that are coming to the library.

[00:29:39.000]
It really helps them think of maybe keywords that they hadn't necessarily thought about, but also our researchers, our faculty members, because again, it helps them think of things and it's visual, it's interactive and very helpful information here is populated on the right-hand side.

[00:29:56.000]
What also happens is this topic finder can be accessed from your search results. So below that filter bar.

[00:30:04.000]
So I were to do a search on climate change. Let me show you real quick.

[00:30:13.000]
Right here, I can start topic finder. So I can go back to Topic Finder, but this, if I go this route, it's going to pull in just my content that I have here.

[00:30:23.000]
And that even means if I filtered it down, if I filtered by. The last year and applied that.

[00:30:29.000]
Now if I want to pull all of this into that visual representation of those search results, I can start the topic finder.

[00:30:37.000]
It always lives below your filter bar. Okay, sometimes Zoom. Bogs it down. Okay, looks like it's working well.

[00:30:47.000]
Sometimes I have issues with Zoom. So you can see here even my basic search is Climate change, I'm filtered to or my limiters or filters full text and the date is May to May.

[00:30:59.000]
May, the 20 fifth to May, the 20 fifth and it gives me that same visualization. I look at pollution and maybe I'm looking at Pollution control.

[00:31:12.000]
I have 9.

[00:31:14.000]
Documents on the right hand side. Okay, let me know if there any questions on how to use Topic Finder.

[00:31:22.000]
We are going to switch gears and go into Academic OneFile.

[00:31:31.000]
Let me, I think I have that one open. Here it is.

[00:31:35.000]
So academic OneFile. We're going to utilize again the topics on the homepage and they're different as you can see because we're in a different resource.

[00:31:45.000]
This time we are going to go into political science. And you can see along list here. And I'm gonna go into the Bill of Rights.

[00:31:55.000]
Again, if I wanted to share this content, I can use the get link tool. But what's unique in Academic OneFile compared to your other Gale OneFile resources is that ability to download content.

[00:32:06.000]
So what it does is it'll download a list. A list of the titles of the documents and also their publication information, but also a link back to each individual document.

[00:32:19.000]
So this is different than our citation tool. But it does provide you with that information. So if you have an amount, a large amount of documents that you're interested in in downloading or keeping or coming back to access.

[00:32:29.000]
It rather than clicking into each one and sending them to your Google Driver Microsoft Onedrive.

[00:32:38.000]
This is a way to do that and keep that content. There's something again that was requested by a lot of our researchers.

[00:32:47.000]
And so we added it in. Now I can filter by subject if I wanted to or document type, document type if I'm looking for brief articles and I can multi select or maybe let's do essays and viewpoint essays because there's fewer of those.

[00:33:04.000]
And apply. And then at this point, if I wanted to download this content. I can select. The articles I want to.

[00:33:14.000]
Usually have a not seeing it here at the top. If I wanted to select all 7 of them, there's usually a box here to select all of them at once.

[00:33:21.000]
But maybe because there's only 7. I think it was, I was at 50 last time and, it, It gave me that option to download all of them or select all of them.

[00:33:28.000]
Download here. And I can quickly download those 2 documents. And again, it'll provide me with that spreadsheet.

[00:33:42.000]
Okay, let me know if there are any questions on that. But just a feature I wanted to. Share with you within this resource.

[00:33:50.000]
Let's use advanced search again. This time I'm going to. Click on it right here at the top.

[00:33:57.000]
And this time, let's take a look. We were looking at the Bill of Rights.

[00:34:03.000]
And I am going to use search assist here and select Bill of Rights at the top. Because it will put it in quotation marks.

[00:34:09.000]
So it's going to look for that term Bill of Rights in that order. Not Bill and forwards later.

[00:34:12.000]
And then for words, words later writes, it's going to look for the specific term. And I'm going to keep the operator as and.

[00:34:25.000]
And I'm going to. Enter and freedom of speech.

[00:34:32.000]
And again, you search assist so it automatically puts it in quotation marks for me.

[00:34:39.000]
Then click search. I could add some of those pre limiters if I wanted to. Here we go.

[00:34:43.000]
This is what I was referring to is, I apologize. When you go from a topic page, as compared to doing a basic search or advanced search.

[00:34:56.000]
This is why the screen is looking slightly different, where you have that ability to select all the results. I have 20 here.

[00:35:04.000]
Not just 7. I also, and that would be to download. So if I'm selecting them, it's to download them.

[00:35:12.000]
Into that spreadsheet. When you do a basic search or advanced search, you also now in your contextual toolbar have the ability to set up a search alert.

[00:35:23.000]
Now I could set up some of these filters before I schedule that search alert. But what search alert will do.

[00:35:30.000]
Is email me or I have the RSS feed anytime any new information and I have the choice.

[00:35:36.000]
Do I want this daily, weekly, monthly? How do I want it formatted? But I can have an email sent to my inbox anytime new information is added on the Bill of Rights and Freedom of Speech.

[00:35:49.000]
If I add any again any of those filters in, those filters will also apply. So it's this is a great tool and it is available again in all of our periodical resources so all of your OneFile resources, you have the ability to set up a search alert.

[00:36:05.000]
If you're using the RSS feed, it's really easy to. Copy.

[00:36:11.000]
That link. And put it right into your feed. On your browser.

[00:36:17.000]
Okay, so that's search alert. I we mentioned peer reviewed already. Let's talk about the tools to support accessibility.

[00:36:25.000]
And I'm just going to choose this is an article, so let's choose this first one.

[00:36:31.000]
Anytime you're at the document level, you have all of your publication information and we talked about the Explorer panel, but now I want to talk to you about the tools to support accessibility.

[00:36:37.000]
They are again at the document level. You're going to find the ability to translate the text into over 40 languages.

[00:36:50.000]
And we are using Google Translate for this. You can decrease or increase the font size.

[00:36:56.000]
You can change the color behind your text. Change the font. So if you need that open dyslexic font, increase the line letter and word spacing, you may have users coming in to your library.

[00:37:10.000]
I mean, you need to meet their varying needs, you have that option here. Where you can increase that line letter and word spacing.

[00:37:17.000]
And the nice thing is once you set this up on the very first article you access, it'll stick with you throughout the session.

[00:37:25.000]
So any article I move into, or even if I do a new search. It'll display just like this.

[00:37:30.000]
So once I set it up, I have that throughout the session. Once I leave the session, then that information will be cleared.

[00:37:40.000]
If I wanted to clear it right now, I just open that display options back up, click back to default settings in the bottom left of the box.

[00:37:48.000]
And click done. I can also listen to the text being read aloud to me.

[00:37:54.000]
Give it a second here. So it'll read the title. It does skip over the publication information and then it'll jump right to the document itself.

[00:38:06.000]
You have a few features. Another tool to support accessibility under the settings where I can change what's being highlighted.

[00:38:13.000]
If it's being, if anything's being highlighted, I can remove it all together. Also the text color.

[00:38:21.000]
I have the ability to turn on the enhanced text visibility, which I'll show you with that looks like.

[00:38:25.000]
Or slow down the speed. All those options are available. So you have just remember underneath that listen button once you open it up that little gear provides you with additional settings.

[00:38:36.000]
You also have the ability to download this as an MP 3 and listen to it later. Once I click play.

[00:38:44.000]
I turned on the enhanced text visibility. So if you have any folks that, have any visual issues, this will really, really help them.

[00:38:55.000]
If you're coming from a library where you work with children.

[00:39:00.000]
This is also available in your in context resources. It's a shared feature and tool and I absolutely love it for our beginning readers.

[00:39:06.000]
Our emergent readers because it does pull that text on the page and highlights it as it's being read aloud to them.

[00:39:15.000]
Also helps with any tracking issues. I also had someone share with me that it reminded them it was very similar to overlays that are used.

[00:39:21.000]
This is prior to us having the dyslexic font, but that it is. Similar to overlays that are used in schools of blues in the greens.

[00:39:33.000]
And it keeps the words from jumping. On the page. This was a librarian that actually said, dyslexia is something she's had to manage her whole life.

[00:39:42.000]
So it was great feedback for us. And then if I want to remove this, I just close this button back out.

[00:39:51.000]
Okay. I also have some options. These are our quicksand options. I want to quickly send it to Google Drive.

[00:39:56.000]
Microsoft Onedrive, email, download, or print. I also have them available here at the top.

[00:40:02.000]
And the reason why is if I'm researching and I'm reading this article. And I get to this point and I decide, yes, I want to send this to Google.

[00:40:11.000]
Microsoft or email, download or print. I have these options available or maybe I want to grab a link to this article.

[00:40:17.000]
And share it. I can do that or keep it. Highlights of notes as a tool we're going to talk about now where I have the ability to click and drag over a chunk of text.

[00:40:28.000]
Choose my color. Add some notes. And then click save. If there's a term I'm struggling with.

[00:40:38.000]
I can highlight that term. Click Define and it will give me a page out of the Webster's Dictionary.

[00:40:47.000]
I'm scrolling down further. This is a section maybe I want to utilize this as a quote.

[00:40:53.000]
In my paper or project.

[00:41:00.000]
Now, my best practice is send this entire article. You've marked it up. You want to keep it.

[00:41:06.000]
Send this entire article to Google Microsoft email or download or print because it will show up. Let's say you're using Google.

[00:41:14.000]
It'll show up in your Google Drive as a Google Doc that's already been highlighted and marked up.

[00:41:16.000]
And it'll be exactly as you're seeing here. Not only that, but I'll get this message.

[00:41:25.000]
Oh, it signed me out. Oh, that's not the right one. Hold on. Second.

[00:41:31.000]
There we go. As going to the other one.

[00:41:35.000]
And I'm having problems with Google. Let me try it one more time. S to Google Drive.

[00:41:44.000]
There we go. So it'll land in a folder titled, Gale Academic OneFile, and it'll be turn it into a Google Doc or if I'm sending it to Microsoft, it'll turn into a Microsoft.

[00:41:57.000]
Our Word doc and it'll be marked up exactly as this. The citation is automatically attached at the bottom.

[00:42:04.000]
It's a longer article.

[00:42:07.000]
The citation is here. Before I send it, if I want to change the format, I can do that and then send the document and again it'll save that information for me.

[00:42:17.000]
And then what happens is below this citation in that Google Doc will be those 2 chunks I've highlighted and any notes I've taken.

[00:42:25.000]
Plus, they'll still be highlighted in the article.

[00:42:29.000]
The citation tool, since we're talking about citations, if you just need the citation.

[00:42:35.000]
The citation tools in that contextual toolbar. I can click site, change my format. Copy and paste or I can export it to any of these sources.

[00:42:41.000]
At the bottom.

[00:42:49.000]
Alright, let me know if you have any questions about any of those tools that we just talked about. What we're going to do now is go into Gale OneFile news.

[00:43:00.000]
Which it almost timed me out takes 20 min so 20 min just keep that in mind too If you leave your resource open for 20 min, it will eventually, log you out.

[00:43:12.000]
And you can quickly sign back in, but it's good to know if you are doing some, let's say you're highlighting some articles.

[00:43:18.000]
That's why I always say best practice send the article as soon as you've done some highlighting.

[00:43:21.000]
Send it somewhere so you have it. Because if you happen to walk away, you'll still have that information.

[00:43:31.000]
There's also something another section I want to share with you about highlights and notes. But in this one, let's do a publication search.

[00:43:38.000]
So we talked about Advanced search, we talked about topic Finder. Subject guide search is very straightforward, but let's do a publication search and then we will.

[00:43:49.000]
Also, do a basic search. I can list all my publications. I have some search limiters that I can are pre limiters I can set up here if I would like to.

[00:43:59.000]
I am just going to do a search for the Washington Post.

[00:44:05.000]
And I am not going to use search assist on this one. Because I want to share with you when I put in the Washington Post.

[00:44:13.000]
I have the Washington Post and also the Washington Post videos available. When I click into the Washington Post and over here on the right hand side, you have again more limiters.

[00:44:26.000]
I click into the Washington Post. It is going to take me to I can see that I have information, full text coverage from 2,014 to current May, the 20 fifth is right here.

[00:44:31.000]
You can see this week already available. I can go back if I'm looking for. Older versions, I can, oh, publications from the past, I can find that information here.

[00:44:49.000]
And when I'm doing my research, you can see how often the information is updated. Something else you can do, 2 things.

[00:44:56.000]
You can search within. So I can search within this publication for a specific turn, and it'll search through all of my volumes from from our full text beginning till now.

[00:45:09.000]
So I can search through and it'll find that information and pull that back. And my results. Something else I can do is I can create a journal alert.

[00:45:18.000]
So just like I could create a search alert, I can create journal alerts in my OneFile resources.

[00:45:25.000]
I can have it emailed or again copy that RSS feed. And again, if I have an email, I can select the frequency.

[00:45:33.000]
So maybe once a once a week I want the information from the Washington Post that's been added. Now remember this is daily so that might be you know a lot in one day.

[00:45:41.000]
But I can schedule that if that's something I'm interested in. If I wanna go directly to today's May 20 fifth.

[00:45:51.000]
Here is the Washington Post. From today. All those articles, I have the ability again to click into it and translate.

[00:45:56.000]
I have the ability to send these articles directly to my, I do have to click into it. I can send each individual article to Microsoft or Google.

[00:46:12.000]
I can create a search alert. Here, highlights and notes we're going to talk about a little further if I wanted to search within or look at specific sections because we're in news.

[00:46:22.000]
Remember I had mentioned that news that you'll have different sections available. I can do that. And then I can also again, search within that to filter down that content quickly.

[00:46:33.000]
Maybe I'm looking for a certain. Certain term and Used hurricane Ian and the last search, but I think that might be a little outdated for this publication.

[00:46:43.000]
Or this. From today. So there's only, what do we have? 18 news articles to filter through.

[00:46:47.000]
So looking at those terms, when you have more, it makes it a little bit more difficult. To, you know, utilizing, shouldn't say difficult, utilizing your filters is going to be a quicker and better option. Okay.

[00:47:05.000]
And we talked about all the other things on my list here that I wanted to share with you within this resource but remember this resource is focusing more on newspaper and those news articles that you have available.

[00:47:15.000]
And we just did a publication search so that again is an additional option that you have available for your users that are coming into your library.

[00:47:33.000]
Please let me know if you have any questions. And also remember I mentioned that your OneFile academic OneFile have those topics.

[00:47:40.000]
This is what your other OneFile resources will look like where you have the search tools available. On that homepage.

[00:47:47.000]
So you'll have to look for that content within the resource. Oh, highlights and notes was what I was going to continue to share with you.

[00:47:52.000]
We'll go into the next resource and I'll share that one. Is there? Let me know if there are any questions or you want me to go over anything again.

[00:47:57.000]
One more thing before I leave this resource is you have the title list, you can access the title list section here.

[00:48:07.000]
If you are going into the title list, be aware that there are, there's an additional additional information at the top navigation.

[00:48:11.000]
So let me see if I can share that with you real quick. So I have all of the resources, but if there's also, I wanted to share with you, you have additional title list information here.

[00:48:27.000]
So keep that in mind. Don't forget that you have that. It's taking me to all of the Gale content.

[00:48:33.000]
So I would want to filter down by product.

[00:48:38.000]
Okay, cause it does, it takes you from the resource into all of your, it won't specifically go to just the resources you have from the Washington State Library.

[00:48:41.000]
It'll take the title list take you to everything.

[00:48:51.000]
Alright, with that, let's go into our last resource and then we are going to wrap up our session today.

[00:48:58.000]
For this one I do need to go into the product. And again, I'm under periodicals utilizing this product menu.

[00:49:05.000]
And we are going to go into health and medicine.

[00:49:13.000]
Each one of your OneFile resources does have a unique banner. So you can see this one's focused more on medicine.

[00:49:19.000]
The last one was on news. And here today. We're gonna do a search on.

[00:49:29.000]
I can spell.

[00:49:35.000]
There we go.

[00:49:38.000]
Looking at physician assistant, I forgotten I. Good thing search assist was there.

[00:49:45.000]
So if I am, let's say I'm going into the field, I want to, I'm a new student.

[00:49:49.000]
I'm going to be a physician assistant. I want to make my self-aware. There's topics that are being studied.

[00:49:54.000]
It's a two-year program. I know the first year I'm in classes the second year.

[00:49:58.000]
I am in my rotation. I'm doing doing that in folk different focused areas. This would be a great resource as a PA or a PA student to utilize because as you're going into maybe you're working with pediatrics and then, you're, you're moving to general

[00:50:17.000]
medicine, in, focusing more on those, those smaller groups like like pediatrics and I want up-to-date information.

[00:50:25.000]
I want to make sure I'm aware I'm sure there's projects and papers and everything that I have to work on.

[00:50:30.000]
This is a great resource. To utilize for that. So you can see for medical students there's academic journal information as I mentioned our health professionals utilize this resource very often because all of the.

[00:50:38.000]
In here is being updated daily through throughout the day every day. So maybe as a physician assistant, I am looking at those academic journals or maybe I want to see what's trending in the news.

[00:50:53.000]
Or there's images or videos. I can do that. I can find that information here. Always remember those document types can be really helpful.

[00:51:02.000]
A lot of times our users will be looking for brief articles, but available within health and medicine, you are going to find different reports like clinical reports available here or disease and disorder overviews.

[00:51:17.000]
So utilizing that document type or maybe the subjects. Can be really helpful to. Your users. Like here's one on medical research.

[00:51:29.000]
Okay.

[00:51:33.000]
Alright, maybe I want to. Do a different search.

[00:51:46.000]
Oops. On AFP and I'm looking for again any new treatments. How can I quickly find the newest academic journals?

[00:51:58.000]
Well, I can filter by our sort by. The newest information.

[00:52:04.000]
Again, I can set up search alerts. So as a medical professional or student, or researcher, I can set up that circular and any time any new information is added on A. Fib.

[00:52:16.000]
I'll have that alert. Some of the information, especially with our academic journals, some may be annual, some may be quarterly.

[00:52:23.000]
That I'm gonna find here, but maybe I'm looking, trade magazines. And I want the.

[00:52:31.000]

[00:52:36.000]

[00:52:48.000]
B, the fly I'm not familiar with, medical buyer, women's health weekly.

[00:52:52.000]
You can see all the publications listed here.

[00:52:58.000]
Alright, or maybe I'm looking for video content. So if I were looking for video content. I could do a search and just find videos on a topic or Maybe I'm looking for a broader piece of information.

[00:53:10.000]
I could utilize advanced search.

[00:53:21.000]
And. I'm going to do.

[00:53:30.000]
If I want video files, recording review, interactive video file. I can multi select.

[00:53:40.000]
And I can search.

[00:53:45.000]
And you could see not only does it bring back my video files, it brings back anything related to this.

[00:53:50.000]
Academic journals, magazines, audio, news. At this point, if I were looking specifically for a subject like epidemics.

[00:54:04.000]
I can use my search within. In my filter box, submit that. And get that video content. On epidemics.

[00:54:15.000]
And our videos do have closed captioning and the transcripts available.

[00:54:21.000]
And as I mentioned, and let me see. This one might have it. Yeah, as I mentioned, you have that video content.

[00:54:28.000]
You still have the source citation and also that supplemental information. So even from a video. You're going to find related information.

[00:54:39.000]
Always very helpful to have everything at your fingertips and quickly be able to drill down and find that content.

[00:54:47.000]
