[00:00:05.009] Thank you again, everyone for joining. So [00:00:07.030] today we're talking about the top [00:00:09.528] 10 tips and tricks within your gale [00:00:11.599] and context resources. My [00:00:13.689] name is Amber winters. I'll be your training consultant [00:00:16.228] for the day [00:00:18.030] So a brief agenda, I do just want to touch on [00:00:20.190] what gale in context is. So if you're new [00:00:22.440] to this resource suite we're going [00:00:24.559] to just take a look at that very briefly, but we're going to spend [00:00:26.809] most of the time going through those top [00:00:29.109] tips and tricks that the gale [00:00:31.120] trainers have found that we've deemed the best [00:00:33.520] of the best. not only will we talk [00:00:35.750] about them, we're also going to kind of navigate [00:00:37.950] through them live. So you're going to be able to see where you [00:00:40.020] can find them, how they function, [00:00:42.097] how to best serve your users. [00:00:45.228] And then at the very end of the session, I have [00:00:47.469] listed here questions. but again, [00:00:49.490] feel free to put your questions in at [00:00:51.639] the Q and A as we move along and I should [00:00:53.750] be able to answer them. But [00:00:55.289] again, we do get a little bit crowded [00:00:57.569] in the Q and A I have left time at the end of the [00:00:59.667] session to get everything answered. And [00:01:01.840] at the very end, I do have some contact information [00:01:04.087] as a wrap up for you as well. [00:01:06.480] Well, let's go ahead and get started. So if [00:01:08.587] you're new to Gale in context, it's a full [00:01:10.629] suite of products and it's really [00:01:12.638] content for all. So we have resources [00:01:14.829] that are going to be specific for different age [00:01:16.900] bands. So you'll see, we've got Gale [00:01:19.019] and Context Elementary all the way up to high school [00:01:21.418] as well as Gale in Context college [00:01:24.168] We have subject specific resources as [00:01:26.307] well. So things like us or world history [00:01:28.430] or biographies. [00:01:30.459] We have one educator specific resource [00:01:32.739] gale in context for educators. [00:01:35.150] And this is also used quite frequently [00:01:37.329] for adult and post-secondary [00:01:39.430] research as well. So if I have any public [00:01:41.459] library folks or any academic [00:01:43.549] leveled folks on the line, these resources [00:01:45.587] are used at both of those areas [00:01:48.158] as well. One that I always like to point out [00:01:50.277] is gale in context, opposing viewpoints, which [00:01:52.289] of course is used heavily at that high school [00:01:54.674] level for pro con arguments. But [00:01:56.805] it's also really great for adults coming [00:01:58.924] into the public library, maybe looking for news [00:02:01.114] reports on something that's currently going on or just [00:02:03.182] wanting to make sure they're getting safe [00:02:05.483] and vetted content. We have all of that [00:02:07.875] right here within our Gale in context suite. [00:02:10.899] So the top tips and tricks we're going over today [00:02:13.438] are generally going to span [00:02:15.718] the entirety of our collection. If [00:02:17.777] for whatever reason, there's one resource [00:02:19.919] that doesn't contain one of these tools. I believe we [00:02:22.057] have one specific tip [00:02:24.490] that doesn't include one resource. I will [00:02:26.557] let you all know that. [00:02:28.568] Um But the majority of these tips and [00:02:30.628] tricks are going to span the entirety [00:02:33.079] of the suite. So whatever you have in your collection, [00:02:35.399] be it one or two of these resources, these [00:02:37.819] tools will come in handy for you [00:02:41.179] So without further ado, let's go ahead and get [00:02:43.188] started here, our first tip [00:02:45.740] is going to be utilizing our topic [00:02:48.218] pages. Now, this is not found within Gaelic context [00:02:50.617] for educators. [00:02:52.020] I don't want to mention that. But all of your other resources, you'll [00:02:54.139] find topic pages [00:02:55.658] and these are really great overviews that [00:02:57.777] we've kind of pulled together to help your [00:02:59.788] researchers find the content they need really easily [00:03:02.330] at the top of all of our topic pages, we're going [00:03:04.408] to have a topic overview that's giving a nice little [00:03:06.598] background [00:03:07.718] we've organized all of the results right [00:03:09.740] in the middle of the page, you'll see it's titled on [00:03:11.807] this page. [00:03:13.228] So instead of going through just the basic [00:03:15.419] search list and trying to kind of filter out that way, [00:03:17.658] we've already pre filtered it for them, [00:03:20.139] they can click into the exact bit of information [00:03:22.300] they need [00:03:23.538] And then right underneath that on this topic [00:03:25.579] page, we have our content buckets which again [00:03:27.750] are just organizing and making sure your users [00:03:29.889] can find what they need. [00:03:31.348] And these topic pages are also great for [00:03:33.399] you. If you're pulling contents maybe for [00:03:35.500] a class or if you're in the public library and maybe you're [00:03:37.569] going to be running [00:03:39.008] a program focused on something specific, let's [00:03:41.027] say. for talking about financial literacy, [00:03:43.468] maybe you want to run a project about [00:03:45.649] debt or something like that. You [00:03:47.889] can find these topic pages and start [00:03:49.949] your researchers right here instead of having them [00:03:52.069] search on their own. So you've got them where [00:03:54.179] they need to be before they even get started. [00:03:56.500] So that's our first kind of tip here. And I'm going [00:03:58.628] to go ahead and jump over so we can take a look at [00:04:00.658] what those look like. So for [00:04:02.777] now, I'm just going to click into Gale in context opposing [00:04:05.080] viewpoints. I can remember the rest of the suite [00:04:07.218] is going to look like this as well. Gale [00:04:09.527] and Context elementary looks slightly different because [00:04:11.830] we've changed the platform to make it appropriate [00:04:14.068] for elementary level kiddos but also [00:04:16.399] have topic pages. [00:04:18.468] So I'm going to just search for [00:04:20.548] climate change because of course, that's [00:04:22.807] a topic that we, um, take a look [00:04:25.038] at frequently at pretty much every level. [00:04:27.098] So when I start to type in climate change, [00:04:29.177] you'll see my predictive text. The first option [00:04:31.449] I have here is bolded. [00:04:33.658] So when you run a search, anything [00:04:35.829] that's listed here in bold is going to be a [00:04:37.848] topic page, [00:04:39.519] You can also scroll down and take a look [00:04:41.528] at this browse issues option. All [00:04:43.720] of these are topic pages here. So you'll see, we have [00:04:45.879] 474 pre creative [00:04:47.980] topic pages. Now, of course, [00:04:50.119] that's not every bit of content we have within the [00:04:52.720] the resource. But those are the most studied [00:04:54.737] and most searched topics, we build topic pages [00:04:57.028] around so we can browse here. [00:04:59.139] But let's go back up and we'll stick with running our search. [00:05:01.730] So I am going to click into global warming and climate [00:05:03.879] change here. [00:05:06.730] and it looks like we have a question. Um If this [00:05:09.028] will be made available to you all. So [00:05:11.189] Angela, you'll get a copy of the recording via [00:05:13.220] email. So as some of your staff couldn't be [00:05:15.298] here, you'll have access to the recording [00:05:17.389] and you can feel free to forward along to them. [00:05:21.759] OK. So here we are, we're [00:05:23.838] on a topic page now. So again, as I mentioned, we [00:05:25.920] have our nice overview of top here. [00:05:28.329] And if I hit read more, this is a full article, [00:05:31.237] So this is a great place to start. You'll see if we [00:05:33.290] get some different main ideas and things [00:05:35.459] related to this topic. [00:05:38.269] scrolling down from there. This is our on [00:05:40.500] this page and what's great is, you'll see, we [00:05:42.579] have all of the different resource types that your [00:05:44.689] users are going to find. But if [00:05:46.750] for some reason, let's say our topic [00:05:49.170] doesn't have any infographics attached [00:05:51.409] to it, that wouldn't appear on the, [00:05:53.619] on this page section. So they wouldn't see like a little [00:05:55.838] zero here. So it's really making sure [00:05:58.108] they know exactly what they're going to be able to click [00:06:00.230] into and they're not going to click into something [00:06:02.540] that doesn't provide them with contents. They're always [00:06:04.778] going to have that content here. [00:06:07.809] scrolling down again, you'll see our different content [00:06:10.237] buckets here. It's showing the first few [00:06:12.298] entries. If they want to take a look [00:06:14.420] at say more references, they'll just click [00:06:16.449] into this reference content bucket and be launched [00:06:18.720] all the way into those. [00:06:20.528] And another great feature all the way at the very [00:06:22.987] bottom of this topic page. There we go [00:06:25.470] is our related topics section. [00:06:27.689] So if your users are ready to kind of move [00:06:29.709] their research forward and maybe they're a little [00:06:31.987] bit stuck, they don't know what they want to study. [00:06:34.308] Now. They want to study something similar, but they're not [00:06:36.449] quite sure what [00:06:37.759] these related topics at the bottom of topic [00:06:39.850] pages are going to be really helpful. So they, they have [00:06:42.009] learned about climate change a little bit. And [00:06:44.088] maybe they saw fossil fuels were talked [00:06:46.350] about quite a bit and don't know how it's related. [00:06:48.600] We have a fossil fossil fuels [00:06:50.677] topic page here as well so they can click [00:06:52.750] into that and be launched directly into another topic [00:06:55.199] page. [00:06:56.778] so really your, your users can research [00:06:59.177] without ever running a search if they really wanted to. [00:07:01.379] Most likely we're going to have topic [00:07:03.699] pages. If they're taking a look at some of the [00:07:05.778] more studied firms, we're gonna have [00:07:07.850] topic pages for those. [00:07:11.040] So that's number 10, let's take a look here. [00:07:13.177] I will briefly ask any questions about [00:07:15.230] that before I move forward. [00:07:16.869] I haven't seen any but the Q&A is open. [00:07:21.410] Ok. I don't see any. So number [00:07:23.660] nine is our cross search and this is another [00:07:26.028] special tool that's only found on a few of our resources [00:07:28.927] and this is the one that's most specific. The [00:07:31.019] rest of these will be as specific. But if [00:07:33.170] you have gale in context, world history [00:07:35.449] or us history [00:07:36.920] or gale in context, opposing viewpoints and [00:07:38.980] global issues, you actually have a built-in [00:07:41.329] cross search mechanism, right [00:07:43.579] on the platform. So you'll see here, [00:07:45.750] I've got this pulled forward, you'll be able to drop [00:07:47.939] down in your search bar, right on the platform, [00:07:51.129] and choose what do you want to search? So [00:07:53.139] world history and us history or both, [00:07:55.509] and you'll see with my two collections here. Global [00:07:57.689] issues and opposing viewpoints. I can [00:07:59.750] search either one the other [00:08:01.970] or both. [00:08:05.559] and it looks. So we have a quick question. Um Will [00:08:07.677] they be able to use photos to include in [00:08:09.759] their papers? So, Angela, [00:08:11.778] your users, I'm assuming students [00:08:14.108] are free to use the images, but they do [00:08:16.209] need to cite their sources and we do have [00:08:18.237] citations attached to those images. So just [00:08:20.399] make sure they're citing where they got the [00:08:22.410] images from. [00:08:25.927] So let's take a look at how this functions. Now, how [00:08:27.959] we can do this cross search right here on [00:08:30.500] our platform. And this is different than Power [00:08:32.528] search, which I'm sure some of you are familiar [00:08:34.580] with, which is going to search through all of your different [00:08:36.619] resources. And it's actually a separate platform. [00:08:39.557] This is just unique to those [00:08:41.590] two sets of resources. So I'm gonna jump [00:08:43.759] back to my opposing viewpoints home page just [00:08:46.639] by clicking on the banner here, [00:08:50.028] I know you'll see right next to my search bar. I can drop [00:08:52.177] this down here. Obviously, whatever resource [00:08:54.369] you're in is going to default to just searching through [00:08:56.460] that resource. But I can choose [00:08:58.649] if I want to look now at just the global [00:09:00.969] version of this resource. So how the world [00:09:03.250] is tackling, let's say climate change [00:09:05.769] or I can search through both. So let's do both. [00:09:08.469] And again, I'm going to run my same. [00:09:11.879] search. You'll notice. Now, I don't pull up [00:09:14.057] the topic pages since I'm pulling [00:09:16.229] content from both of those resources. [00:09:18.710] It's going to be a basic search result. But let's [00:09:20.778] go ahead and run that same report for climate [00:09:22.899] change. So [00:09:27.168] when I scroll down here, you'll see, I do still get some [00:09:29.229] suggested topics on this right hand side. [00:09:31.320] If I want to move forward with those, [00:09:33.927] But as I scroll down, you're going to see here [00:09:37.219] It's going to show me what resource this [00:09:39.418] different bit of content is found. And so this one is [00:09:41.548] found in gain contact, opposing viewpoints, [00:09:44.019] you'll see, I have one bit of content here within [00:09:46.278] Gale In Context: Global Issues. [00:09:48.769] So it pulling both of those forward here. So [00:09:50.820] if you do have users who are going to be searching [00:09:52.859] current events, and you know, they're going to need [00:09:55.080] that us central viewpoint and they're going to need [00:09:57.200] that world viewpoint. They can click into [00:09:59.239] just one and they can run a search through both of them. [00:10:01.440] So it's a really simple way to access more [00:10:03.469] information [00:10:05.139] and again, that's available in your [00:10:07.460] group of gale in context, opposing viewpoints [00:10:09.830] and global issues or our two [00:10:11.879] history resources, which is Gale in context [00:10:14.288] us history and gale in context, [00:10:16.619] world history. So both those two [00:10:18.759] groupings, you'll be able to run this really [00:10:21.009] nice cross search right here right next [00:10:23.158] to our search bar. [00:10:26.019] Now, that is the most resource specific [00:10:28.500] tip. I'm going to get to the rest are [00:10:30.548] going to span the, the length of the [00:10:32.590] suite a little bit better. So number eight here [00:10:35.099] is going to be our citations. And I just [00:10:37.200] mentioned to Angela in the Q and A that [00:10:39.389] we do include citations for every bit [00:10:41.538] of content on our resource. We do include [00:10:43.557] M L A A P A Chicago or Harvard [00:10:45.719] versions. And what's nice is we have [00:10:47.798] a little bit of redundancy. So we include [00:10:50.177] citations in two different areas on [00:10:52.379] a page to make sure your users can find them. [00:10:55.200] And our citations do include images. [00:10:57.379] If we have primary sources, we [00:10:59.389] have a great set of videos and audio files. [00:11:01.820] All of those are cited in the proper formatting, [00:11:04.298] which is really great for those of you in the K-12 [00:11:06.460] arena. Of course, getting students [00:11:08.580] not just to site but to site properly. [00:11:10.979] It's oftentimes really difficult. So [00:11:13.019] we've included that in all of our resources, even [00:11:15.259] gale in context elementary. [00:11:17.580] I mean, they, they do have the ability to [00:11:19.639] either copy and paste their citations or [00:11:21.658] they can choose to send them right over to [00:11:23.710] their drive. Or if they're using easy Bib, they'll be [00:11:25.798] able to send it there as well. [00:11:27.590] Let's go ahead and jump back [00:11:29.619] I'm bouncing back and forth a little bit today guys. [00:11:31.778] Sorry about that. Um Let's [00:11:33.989] go ahead. We'll get back to climate change here [00:11:36.070] and I'm just gonna click into one of our resources. [00:11:38.440] Just I'm going to click into the overview [00:11:42.450] So I found this piece of content and let's [00:11:44.538] say I copied and pasted a, a sentence [00:11:47.379] into my paper and I want to cite this source. [00:11:50.177] I can use my citation button at the very top [00:11:52.239] here. You'll [00:11:54.599] see it pops this forward and now I can choose [00:11:56.690] my different options here. If I want M L A A P [00:11:58.759] A Chicago or Harvard, I can [00:12:01.009] select copy and paste it [00:12:02.927] or down here is where you're going to find your nice [00:12:05.090] export tools. [00:12:07.399] or if your users made it all the way down [00:12:09.450] to the bottom of the page, [00:12:12.399] the citation. That that is a long article [00:12:14.940] is found all the way at the bottom of the page here [00:12:17.158] as well. So it's the same format. I think they're going [00:12:19.229] to pull the same content, but we've included [00:12:21.599] it here in this separate space just in case they don't [00:12:23.719] see that button at the very top so they [00:12:25.979] can click into it here and again, download, print [00:12:28.177] it whatever they want to do. If [00:12:30.278] they decided to hold on to this specific [00:12:32.440] article, I'm going to show you how they can do that a little [00:12:34.700] bit later in this session. The citation [00:12:36.840] also follows along with the entries as [00:12:38.989] well. So they'll have their citation attached to [00:12:41.950] an article they may have pulled forward or a news [00:12:44.109] report or something like that. [00:12:50.298] right? So number seven is [00:12:52.418] going to be our content and document [00:12:54.677] type search. So this is found [00:12:56.859] in our advanced search section. And this [00:12:58.879] for me is really important to help your users who [00:13:00.918] may be a little bit intimidated by a standard [00:13:03.359] advanced search. Of course, beginning researchers, [00:13:05.399] even sometimes adult researchers who haven't [00:13:07.418] been digging into online resources [00:13:09.849] recently. may be a little bit taken [00:13:12.048] aback by advanced search just because there is so [00:13:14.190] much included, you know, they may not know [00:13:16.500] what wild cards are, they may [00:13:18.519] not know what to type in to get the exact content [00:13:20.750] they need. [00:13:22.000] We have these really nice options [00:13:24.168] to narrow down just simply by the content [00:13:26.408] type and by the document type. [00:13:28.450] So content type, you'll see we have that here. It's [00:13:30.509] going to be a little bit more broad. [00:13:32.668] So if they just want to look at all of our primary sources, [00:13:35.070] done, good to go. [00:13:36.609] And then our document type is a little bit more [00:13:38.788] specific. So if I clicked into, [00:13:41.239] let's say, using my example here, if I decided [00:13:43.369] to click into images, [00:13:44.899] and then I went to document type and I wanted to be more specific [00:13:47.609] and I wanted to actually find a map. [00:13:49.889] I can do that in my document type, run [00:13:51.940] my search and I'm going to pull that very, [00:13:54.048] very specific content without having [00:13:56.210] to run a a complicated advanced search. [00:13:59.859] So again, I'm going to stay within Gale In Context [00:14:02.080] opposing viewpoints, [00:14:03.609] but I'm going to click into advanced search, [00:14:05.639] which is located right here next to my [00:14:07.759] search bar, [00:14:12.000] And to do that, I'm going to scroll down past this [00:14:14.379] advanced search section here. I will [00:14:16.690] point out we do provide search tips here. [00:14:19.057] So we'll give information on special characters [00:14:21.158] and things like that. [00:14:22.599] But we're going to scroll down [00:14:25.219] and narrow down my content type here. So [00:14:27.288] I'm gonna do just like my example on my [00:14:29.658] my slide, I'm gonna narrow it down [00:14:31.840] to images [00:14:33.119] and then my document type specifically. [00:14:35.200] I want a map. You'll see. We have a lots [00:14:37.359] of document types here. So I'm just going to search for [00:14:39.460] map and you'll see [00:14:41.619] it gets even more specific if I want [00:14:43.658] like a city map or historical map but [00:14:45.899] I'm just gonna stick with map. I just want to see them all. [00:14:48.969] So I'll run my search. [00:14:52.960] And you'll see at the very top here, it's going to show me [00:14:55.048] what filters I have set. So [00:14:57.158] I know that the database I'm in is scaling [00:14:59.298] context, opposing viewpoints. I'm not [00:15:01.469] searching through global issues because I turned [00:15:03.580] that off and then showing me [00:15:05.690] that the only content type I'm looking at is images [00:15:08.599] and the only document type I'm looking at is maps. [00:15:11.009] So you'll see here, I've pulled forward 163 [00:15:14.048] maps that I can take a look at [00:15:16.099] I can easily get rid of one of these filters. So [00:15:18.158] maybe I'm not, I don't just wanna look [00:15:20.269] at maps. I wanna look at all of the pictures. I can [00:15:22.408] do that. [00:15:23.979] And now we have all of our pictures listed instead [00:15:26.250] of just maps. [00:15:28.028] So kind of like an advanced search without [00:15:30.320] actually running through an advanced search, trying to [00:15:32.359] figure out exactly what you want to search. [00:15:38.427] number six is going to be our level document. [00:15:40.750] So this is going to come in really handy for my [00:15:42.807] K 12 folks on the line. [00:15:44.869] We have written quite a few [00:15:46.908] reference works that are at two different [00:15:49.070] levels. And what that means is we have [00:15:51.190] one at a Lexa just above [00:15:53.210] and one at the lea [00:15:54.129] just below. So if you're working [00:15:56.177] with a class that has specific [00:15:58.229] reading level needs, you'll be able [00:16:00.450] to toggle back and forth to these two different [00:16:02.649] articles that are linked together. They're providing [00:16:05.009] the same information. But of course, the [00:16:07.080] lower level, [00:16:08.619] is going to have easier vocab, it's going to [00:16:10.629] be shorter, all that good stuff [00:16:12.668] and searches can also be filtered [00:16:14.677] just to level documents as well. So [00:16:16.778] if you're using these resources, and [00:16:18.859] you run a search, you can actually [00:16:21.000] just navigate to leveled only [00:16:23.190] to find content. [00:16:26.859] and I'm moving through a little bit fast. So [00:16:28.979] as I'm switching back over to my resource, [00:16:31.609] are there any questions? I don't again, [00:16:33.859] see any in the Q and A, but I want to make sure I don't miss [00:16:35.979] any. Ok. [00:16:40.190] I don't see any. So I'm going to switch over [00:16:42.210] now to gale in context middle school just [00:16:44.250] to mix it up a little bit. [00:16:46.009] and I'm going to run a search for [00:16:48.129] Ancient Egypt. That's one of our, usually one [00:16:50.139] of our top searches across the country. [00:16:54.528] So again, you'll see this is bolded. So I have [00:16:56.609] a topic page related to Ancient Egypt. [00:17:00.538] There you go. [00:17:01.320] So I have my overview and again, you're going to find our leveled [00:17:03.700] works in our reference materials. So [00:17:05.759] just those basic reference articles [00:17:07.900] that are giving that general information about [00:17:10.209] whatever your topic is. So let's click [00:17:12.317] into all of my reference articles now. So we have 77 [00:17:15.028] attached to ancient Egypt [00:17:19.867] So now if I scroll down here, I can [00:17:21.900] actually see what's leveled by [00:17:24.709] our little flags. Let's see here. We found [00:17:26.939] one. So you see all of these different flags [00:17:29.107] that are giving bits of information about whatever [00:17:31.479] this entry is and you'll see one of those [00:17:33.630] flags is labeled leveled. [00:17:35.729] So if you ever see an entry with that level, [00:17:37.930] that means we have two different versions [00:17:40.140] of that entry. [00:17:42.219] If instead of kind of just scrolling [00:17:44.439] through and looking for that leveled flag, you just want [00:17:46.509] to narrow it down to your level documents. Only [00:17:48.798] our filter is right here on this right [00:17:51.019] hand side, our level documents and now I can [00:17:53.087] click this [00:17:55.798] And today [00:17:57.250] we've narrow it down just the level [00:17:59.367] of content. So let's click the first one which [00:18:01.509] is Ancient Egypt. [00:18:05.798] So when I click into this, you'll see. Now I'm [00:18:07.808] at the lower level which is level [00:18:09.847] two, which is equal to [00:18:12.420] this lex measure here. [00:18:15.077] and now I can toggle. So this left hand [00:18:17.087] side you'll see. I'm at this lower level, [00:18:19.410] I can bump it up to this higher level [00:18:21.558] here and really [00:18:23.759] simple to toggle back and forth. So if you [00:18:25.769] need this information, you can send [00:18:28.000] maybe this specific copy out to five [00:18:30.278] students who need it and maybe you could send out another specific [00:18:32.617] copy to another five. If you're working [00:18:34.857] in a public library, I know for the most part [00:18:37.058] you're not using lexis measures. [00:18:39.390] But if you take a look at our little content [00:18:41.729] level buttons here or [00:18:43.778] icons that's going to give some additional [00:18:45.847] information. So it goes from a level [00:18:48.077] one to a level five. [00:18:49.729] level one is going to be elementary content. [00:18:51.910] You'll find that almost exclusively [00:18:54.337] within gale in context. Elementary [00:18:56.660] level five is starting to get towards [00:18:59.250] 12th grade in adult learning. [00:19:01.567] So you're going to find that in our more advanced resources [00:19:04.750] and then in between spans all the way from [00:19:06.969] middle school to kind of [00:19:09.327] lower level at high school. So if [00:19:11.439] you are at a public library and maybe you're supporting teens [00:19:13.949] and you're trying to pull content for them. This [00:19:16.269] content level can be handy for you as well. Even [00:19:18.380] if you're not using the exact Lexa measures [00:19:29.479] Right? # five, this is one [00:19:31.587] of my favorite is highlights and notes. [00:19:34.367] So users can highlight and annotate [00:19:36.489] really anything that's important to them in the platform. [00:19:39.327] And not only can they do that on the document, [00:19:41.479] but we also include them in a separate highlight [00:19:43.538] to notes section where they're going to be able [00:19:45.778] to organize it all. They can label [00:19:48.219] their highlights, they can add notes to those highlights [00:19:50.567] if they want to and they can hold on just [00:19:52.900] to the highlights. They don't have to hold on to a full [00:19:54.989] document if they find bits of content [00:19:57.239] that they want to keep. [00:19:59.140] They'll be able to do that right here on the platform. [00:20:01.288] It's a really nice, simple way to do that. [00:20:04.038] and as educators, I've found [00:20:06.959] that sometimes it's helpful to use this [00:20:09.048] highlights feature [00:20:11.189] Um Looks like we have a question. How often is [00:20:13.209] this information updated? Um Angela, [00:20:15.367] I'm assuming just the content [00:20:17.420] and the resources that you're speaking of. [00:20:19.479] Um and its daily, we've [00:20:21.509] we added new content daily. [00:20:27.269] Um So again, if you are an educator [00:20:29.288] on the line, it's often handy to [00:20:31.298] use this to get students to highlight [00:20:33.439] maybe parts of the text if you're working with [00:20:35.528] elementary kids. So intro abiding conclusion, [00:20:37.778] have them highlights right here on the platform. [00:20:40.150] Or you can have individuals if they're working [00:20:42.449] in claim evidence, reasoning papers, you [00:20:44.459] could have them find an article, have [00:20:46.479] them highlight what the claim is, maybe in a different [00:20:48.558] color, what the reasoning is, the evidence. [00:20:50.930] So it's a great way to not only [00:20:53.170] have them research on their own and find information [00:20:55.390] that's important to them. But also integrate [00:20:57.449] this into your lessons. This is a nice [00:20:59.519] interactive way for them to kind of [00:21:01.528] pick apart text and really understand [00:21:03.847] the different parts of it. [00:21:11.660] and then we have a question from Rachel and Rachel. [00:21:13.798] You have jumped ahead of me and I love it. So Rachel [00:21:15.880] is asking, how do students [00:21:17.959] save their notes? Do they disappear when they close [00:21:20.058] out of gale? So they do disappear. [00:21:22.500] Yep, Rachel. So [00:21:23.989] we don't have named user accounts. So if [00:21:26.019] someone closes out of their session [00:21:28.117] or signs off due to inactivity or something like [00:21:30.189] that the content they have will be lost. [00:21:33.479] So what they need to do is either [00:21:35.660] get this article out of the platform by sending [00:21:37.939] over to their drives, printing it, downloading [00:21:40.189] it, emailing it [00:21:41.430] or they're going to get the highlights [00:21:43.500] and notes section out of the platform. So let me [00:21:45.528] show you how that works. So for today, [00:21:47.617] I'm just going to highlight, [00:21:49.160] I don't know just a couple of bits here. Choose [00:21:51.298] some colors. They can use as many colors as they like [00:21:54.469] they can write notes here. [00:21:59.660] They and I can mock this up as much [00:22:01.847] as I want to. [00:22:02.979] And if I want to save this for later, [00:22:05.160] I'll send this over to my drive, I'll print [00:22:07.170] it whatever I want to do [00:22:08.880] or I'll go into my highlights and notes section, [00:22:11.288] which is up top here in my toolbar. [00:22:13.390] So it's highlight to notes. [00:22:16.449] You see, it's going to drop down what I've already highlighted [00:22:19.288] and I can hit this view all highlights and notes button. [00:22:21.587] And when I do that, I get this separate page [00:22:23.930] here, it's going to give me a link to whatever [00:22:26.117] article I highlighted. It's going to show [00:22:28.140] me the highlight color, what I highlighted [00:22:30.837] and any notes that I took [00:22:33.160] underneath that. We also have a running bibliography. [00:22:35.640] So if I were to start highlighting in more than one article, [00:22:38.630] they would all appear here and kind of start to just make [00:22:40.729] a list, [00:22:42.367] you'll notice we have a safe warning here so [00:22:44.660] that your users know that Yep, they need to get this content [00:22:47.038] out of the resource so they can [00:22:49.400] send this one to their drivers or email [00:22:51.699] them. they can also download [00:22:53.847] or print and we're gonna take a look at those tools in just [00:22:56.000] a second [00:22:57.479] and finally, they can label their [00:22:59.538] colors here. So again, as I mentioned, [00:23:01.567] if they're highlighting parts of the text, they [00:23:03.817] may have decided to highlight the intro and blue and the [00:23:05.890] body and purple [00:23:07.278] and they can label those, [00:23:15.298] And now we've got our highlight legend here. So [00:23:17.680] your students or your users can do all of this [00:23:19.880] if you have students. Um they could [00:23:21.939] even send this out to you and you can [00:23:23.949] take a look, they can label their highlight and you can [00:23:26.087] see that they grasp what the intro [00:23:28.400] is. do they know what evidence is? [00:23:30.920] Things like that? It's a really simple way to [00:23:33.097] have that kind of formative evaluation [00:23:35.817] while using yourGale resources [00:23:39.949] And they won't even know you're evaluating them [00:23:42.038] because it's just a simple highlights feature. [00:23:45.337] So our next tool is going to be our translation [00:23:47.719] option. What's great is we have [00:23:49.759] text translations into 46 [00:23:51.867] languages [00:23:53.107] and we do translate not just the actual [00:23:55.288] text of the the article or whatever we're [00:23:57.367] looking at, but any captions attached [00:23:59.577] to images or transcripts or things [00:24:01.597] like that will also be translated [00:24:03.827] for your users. [00:24:05.847] And not only can we transfer, translate [00:24:08.548] the article you're on, but we can also translate [00:24:11.028] the platform as well. So all of the different tools [00:24:13.900] and features found within the platform, you'll [00:24:15.939] be able to translate those as well [00:24:19.709] So we'll look at that quickly really [00:24:21.930] close to running out of time here. But let's [00:24:24.058] go ahead and click back to our article [00:24:27.278] Our translation is really simple. It's [00:24:29.288] right here, our translate button. [00:24:31.719] choose our language and translate [00:24:33.670] if you want to translate the interface, which is [00:24:35.680] all of the tools and features, set [00:24:37.729] interface language. [00:24:39.680] click your language. Now, all [00:24:41.699] of my tools and buttons here are whatever language [00:24:43.920] I chose. [00:24:47.949] you can also change the platform [00:24:50.479] here at the top as well where it says English. [00:24:53.910] So a very simple way for you [00:24:55.930] to get your users into that [00:24:58.189] translated content, [00:25:00.817] Number three, it's going to be our collaboration [00:25:03.199] tools and we have a lot of them. That's something [00:25:05.337] is really strong about is making sure your [00:25:07.410] users can, [00:25:08.719] not only get the content out of our platform, but get [00:25:10.890] content to other people so they can start to work together. [00:25:13.847] The first is going to be a get link which [00:25:15.959] is just a persistent URL. You can [00:25:18.048] copy and paste that wherever you want to go. If [00:25:20.160] you're planning on sharing content with your users, [00:25:22.259] sometimes that's the way to do it. You could [00:25:24.269] send out that link in an email, you can post it on [00:25:26.357] a social media post. They'll be able to [00:25:28.420] click right in and see that content that you're, you're [00:25:30.577] showing them. [00:25:32.038] We're also integrated with the Google classroom. [00:25:34.558] So you can do all of the normal things you can do within [00:25:36.617] Google classroom. So create an assignment, ask a question, [00:25:38.959] make an announcement, create a material, [00:25:41.367] you'll be able to do that in a nice little pop up window [00:25:43.699] and then once that's done close out of your pop up [00:25:45.880] and you're still in the resource. So if you need to [00:25:48.150] go through some more content or something like that, [00:25:50.337] you'll still be able to, you're still signed in. [00:25:53.847] and finally we have our Google and Microsoft [00:25:56.009] integrations. So if your users [00:25:58.117] want to get this content out, save it for later, [00:26:00.479] they can choose to send it over to a drive. Once [00:26:02.847] it's in a drive, it's theirs to use [00:26:05.479] so they can go in if they decide they [00:26:07.808] want to maybe mark up the text again. They didn't [00:26:09.880] use highlights and notes in the platform, but they want to [00:26:11.890] now they can do that [00:26:13.900] right there in the drive and they can also share on their [00:26:15.910] drive. So if they're working, say in a group [00:26:19.048] They find a bit of content. They really like, they [00:26:21.199] can send it to their drive and then share it from their [00:26:23.239] drive with their, their peers [00:26:25.410] with their other group members. Again to [00:26:27.430] really make sure they can all engage with this text [00:26:29.689] and they all have access to it [00:26:32.038] and it is located on their drive forever. [00:26:34.317] So they don't need to worry about um [00:26:36.769] you know, it disappearing after a month or something like that. [00:26:39.288] They'll have it, [00:26:40.479] I mean, until the end of time as long as they [00:26:42.500] need it, [00:26:43.900] So let's take a look at where we can find those [00:26:46.117] tools. I'm going to stay here just on this article. [00:26:48.910] So if we want to send over to our drives, [00:26:51.259] I have a send to button up here [00:26:53.390] that lets me choose to send to Google Drive [00:26:55.449] one drive or email it. [00:26:58.150] I can also do that here under the title. [00:27:00.400] You'll see my Google drive and my one drive [00:27:03.699] my email is next door or [00:27:05.867] again, I can download or I can print right here. [00:27:08.519] We also have our download and print up top. [00:27:11.808] and finally our get link feature and this get [00:27:13.880] link actually follows us along throughout [00:27:16.048] the entire session. So if you [00:27:18.097] find a topic page, you really like, you want to get [00:27:20.199] a link to that topic page, you can do that. If [00:27:22.538] you ran a search and you're really digging your [00:27:24.630] results, you want everyone to see them, you can [00:27:26.640] get a link to that as well. You'll see you have that [00:27:28.798] get link feature, pretty much [00:27:30.890] on every page you're going to click into in your [00:27:32.939] resources. So this is really powerful [00:27:35.430] if you do want to share out your information. [00:27:39.308] And I um didn't mention this is persistent. [00:27:41.837] So this isn't going to break. So you can even [00:27:43.949] copy and put this in a syllabus or [00:27:46.097] something like that. [00:27:48.347] And we have a quick question when a person opens [00:27:50.430] the get link later, say from home. [00:27:52.930] Well, they need the login information. So [00:27:54.989] what's great about our get link is when they click [00:27:57.219] on the one specific link, they're [00:27:59.278] going to automatically be launched into that content [00:28:01.670] without authentication. [00:28:03.219] But if they want to move forward, say [00:28:05.410] they want to run their own research or, [00:28:07.798] you know, look at something new at that point, they'll [00:28:09.900] be asked to authenticate. However, users [00:28:11.959] normally authenticate. So if they normally have a password, [00:28:14.788] they'll need that password. Um If [00:28:17.009] it's normally like a single sign on through their [00:28:19.989] their Microsoft account or something like that, [00:28:22.327] they'll be asked to do that. Yeah, it's a great [00:28:24.558] question. [00:28:28.709] Ok. Number two, [00:28:30.788] is our text manipulation features. [00:28:33.028] So these are going to be great to make sure [00:28:35.130] our content is as accessible as [00:28:37.209] it possibly can be before your users. [00:28:39.660] I'm going to go ahead and now tap on my screen. [00:28:41.949] I'm gonna talk while I show you those [00:28:43.969] tools are found here on this left hand side. [00:28:46.269] You'll see if we can increase or decrease size [00:28:48.587] of the fonts. [00:28:50.650] We can also change the colors [00:28:52.788] that we see [00:28:53.959] as well as different types of fonts [00:28:56.009] and we can change the line letter and word spacing. [00:28:58.229] You'll see, we do include a dyslexia [00:29:00.367] font here as well. So again, we're [00:29:02.469] trying to increase the accessibility as much [00:29:04.587] as we possibly can. [00:29:06.209] What's great is once your user sets exactly [00:29:08.410] how they want this to be, it's going [00:29:10.459] to follow them along throughout their session. So if they [00:29:12.607] find the exact background color that works for [00:29:14.630] them, the line letter and word spacing [00:29:17.640] They can choose that and they'll just have it follow [00:29:19.660] along, carry along to make sure they can access [00:29:22.357] at any point. [00:29:25.699] Now, we're down to number one here [00:29:28.028] just in time is going to be our topic [00:29:30.097] finder. This is found in all [00:29:32.380] of our resources now and you're going [00:29:34.558] to be able to search using [00:29:36.778] keywords to find kind of related [00:29:38.837] information. So you're gonna be able to navigate [00:29:41.077] through either a tile view or a [00:29:43.087] wheel view to find the content that you need. [00:29:47.367] and that's going to launch them directly into a result. [00:29:49.827] So let's go ahead and click into that here [00:29:52.048] to do that. I'm going to click into my advanced [00:29:54.087] search [00:29:56.778] and we're going to choose topic finder, [00:29:59.219] which is going to launch this here and [00:30:01.400] now I can run a search. So let's run a search. [00:30:03.939] Um We'll do alternative energy today. [00:30:09.298] When I run my search here, it's [00:30:11.400] going to pull forward all of the results [00:30:13.509] and you'll see this is interactive. [00:30:15.420] So maybe I want to learn about solar [00:30:17.469] energy into solar energy [00:30:20.077] You see, now I have 44 results [00:30:22.439] and now I can click even further. So [00:30:24.949] solar panels, let's go there. And [00:30:27.180] now you'll see. I've got seven articles listed [00:30:29.380] here that I can start to kind of click through to get [00:30:31.459] some information. So this is really handy [00:30:33.857] if you have users coming in, like a giant [00:30:35.989] broad search term and you know, they're going [00:30:38.107] to pull back so much content that might not [00:30:40.239] be exactly what they need. They can [00:30:42.347] run that big giant search in our topic finder [00:30:44.650] and start to navigate through to different topics [00:30:46.880] to really narrow it down to what they need. So instead of [00:30:48.979] being inundated with, [00:30:50.890] you know, thousands and thousands of bits of content, [00:30:53.337] they can do this and you'll see, I mean, I got myself [00:30:55.528] all the way down to seven bits of content, which is [00:30:57.538] a great place to start if I'm doing some [00:30:59.587] research here. So they can really narrow that down [00:31:02.219] to make it as simple as possible to [00:31:04.259] find and [00:31:07.808] they can easily reset it right down [00:31:09.827] here underneath [00:31:12.087] So I will say a lot of individuals [00:31:14.410] actually start users out on this [00:31:16.509] topic Finder page instead of running a basic [00:31:18.847] search or something like that. So if you know, [00:31:20.920] you want your users engaged with topic finder, consider [00:31:23.337] just showing them where to find that first, [00:31:25.347] let them know, you know, you want to use this topic finder. [00:31:27.538] It's going to help you navigate really simply [00:31:29.880] instead of having to go through a basic results [00:31:31.890] page. [00:31:34.577] And we had a question from Lynn. Did I open topic [00:31:36.750] finder without entering search keywords? [00:31:38.808] Yes, I did. Yeah, [00:31:40.269] I just clicked into advanced search. [00:31:42.327] Let me go back a page [00:31:45.019] two pages. I just hit advanced search. [00:31:48.337] And then I navigated to the topic finder section, [00:31:51.788] If I were to run a search, I can also [00:31:53.890] find the topic, the topic finder [00:31:55.939] there as well and launch it. But if you [00:31:57.949] want to start directly with topic finder, you just [00:32:00.009] need to click under advanced search and [00:32:02.087] choose your topic finder, search option. [00:32:07.890] Ok? So let me jump back here. I've got some [00:32:10.019] additional information for you. First off, I do want [00:32:12.160] to mention my bonus tip that I always [00:32:14.278] like to mention. It's our support site, which is support [00:32:16.660] dot gale dot com. You're going to find a lot [00:32:18.788] of supplemental materials that are going to help you. [00:32:20.837] So we have premade lesson plans.

You'll see. We have women's history month [00:32:31.640] 2023 which is focused [00:32:33.798] on women in politics. [00:32:36.469] And we also have premade training tools. [00:32:38.630] So if you're training your staff, you'll see. This one [00:32:40.709] is about gale in context elementary. We've [00:32:43.019] created a slide deck for you so you [00:32:45.097] can just copy and paste your library's [00:32:47.308] information and you can train [00:32:49.890] all on your own. You don't need to build it yourself. [00:32:52.269] So all of that again is going to be found on our support [00:32:54.650] site, which is support.gale.com. [00:32:57.327] I just checking it out if you can. [00:32:59.420] We also have all of our recorded webinars there. [00:33:01.709] So a little bit of contact information. [00:33:04.130] I know we're right at our time. But I do [00:33:06.308] want to just give you this if you have additional [00:33:08.459] questions or if you want to dive into some of these [00:33:10.558] tools a little bit deeper. I know this [00:33:12.630] is a very kind of service. Look [00:33:14.750] at them, reach out to your customer success [00:33:16.759] manager.

[00:33:25.097] If you have any questions about any of the incont resources [00:33:27.900] that maybe you don't have access to right now, but you [00:33:29.939] want to have access to reach out to your [00:33:31.949] sales consultant, you can find them going [00:33:34.160] to support degale dot com forward slash [00:33:36.298] rep finder. [00:33:37.680] Again, I've listed the support site here [00:33:39.778] a little bit of a shameless plug but support that [00:33:41.989] gale dot com is going to help you learn [00:33:44.298] new things about your resources, but also teach [00:33:46.880] your learning community about them as [00:33:48.890] well. And I do have [00:33:51.097] a training survey. If you do have [00:33:53.150] the time, it's actually going to pop up into your [00:33:55.269] browser. But I have a quick QR code [00:33:57.500] here if you have your phone handy or [00:33:59.699] you can go to bit dot forward slash [00:34:01.750] gale training [00:34:02.817] email. and I haven't [00:34:05.058] seen any questions pop up here, but [00:34:07.160] I will ask just one more time. Is there [00:34:09.518] um anything you guys want to look at again? Does anyone [00:34:11.559] have any questions, if not feel [00:34:13.610] free to hop off, hopefully we'll see you in future [00:34:15.820] sessions, but just to verify anyone [00:34:18.039] have any more questions before we end today. [00:34:21.969] Ok? I don't see any typing. So I'll go [00:34:24.059] ahead and end off the session. Thank you [00:34:26.128] all for being here and hopefully we will see you [00:34:28.239] in future sessions
