[00:00:04.639] Hello and welcome, everyone. Thank [00:00:06.660] you for joining me. My name is Marian Valentine. [00:00:09.330] I am your Gale trainer and with [00:00:11.330] me is Stacey Knibloe, our [00:00:13.368] senior trainer here at Gale. [00:00:15.589] To help answer your questions in Q and A. [00:00:17.609] We will be covering [00:00:20.178] Q and A at the end of our 15 minute [00:00:22.178] session as we're going to be moving quickly [00:00:24.480] to discover how gale's advanced [00:00:26.600] search tools can quickly help you [00:00:28.609] get relevant materials to [00:00:30.699] the hands of your users in public [00:00:32.960] academic and K-12 [00:00:35.289] libraries. [00:00:42.140] In this 15 minute Webinar, we'll learn [00:00:44.240] how advanced search can improve reference for [00:00:46.329] your patrons, whether it's helping them [00:00:48.520] find additional resources or narrow [00:00:50.899] down their search terms. [00:00:53.039] We'll go live within a gale resource to [00:00:55.149] explore advanced search examples [00:00:57.280] of how to increase your search results or [00:00:59.439] to refine your results by reading [00:01:01.469] level, content type, publication [00:01:04.040] or subject. [00:01:05.239] And we'll finish out with where you can go for additional [00:01:07.530] support. This is 15 [00:01:09.620] minutes. So stay [00:01:11.750] with us after the session to find the answers [00:01:14.200] to your questions. [00:01:16.039] This session is being recorded and [00:01:18.370] you will get a copy of the recording tomorrow so you can [00:01:20.420] review that as well. [00:01:28.039] The best way to learn about advanced search is [00:01:30.129] just to go ahead and visit advanced [00:01:32.200] search. So I'm going to [00:01:34.140] show you my screen. You can use [00:01:36.140] advanced search on almost all of your Gale [00:01:38.519] products and that's going to include Gale in context [00:01:41.098] ebooks, Onefile periodicals, and primary sources. [00:01:43.468] Almost every Gale resource. [00:01:45.640] We're going to start off with an example [00:01:47.680] of Gale In Context High School. [00:01:56.000] We've got a basic search here at the top [00:01:58.209] (most of our students start [00:02:00.319] with that). It's very google [00:02:02.450] oriented. You can just type in words [00:02:04.840] and start your search. But today we're focused [00:02:07.108] on advanced search. [00:02:13.438] First, a brief overview of the advanced search screen. [00:02:15.699] You can use this to look for multiple [00:02:18.169] search terms or [00:02:20.288] to look for a specific subject. It's [00:02:22.478] going to default to terms you're [00:02:24.530] searching for in the keyword field. [00:02:26.699] So looking at major descriptor fields, [00:02:28.740] but perhaps you want it to be the subject [00:02:31.639] of [00:02:32.740] your resource [00:02:34.340] or you're searching for something that's really difficult [00:02:36.550] to find information on. You want to can search [00:02:38.759] for a term within the entire document. There are [00:02:40.810] lots of different fields to choose from, [00:02:43.180] including the name of the work, [00:02:45.668] if you're doing a literature [00:02:47.978] search. Search fields can help narrow to what [00:02:50.438] the article is about, maybe [00:02:52.628] it's *about* a person or maybe it's content *by* a specific [00:02:55.079] person you want to look up. [00:02:56.538] Lots of different options with fields. You've got [00:02:58.750] your AND OR NOT Boolean operators. [00:03:01.740] If you're not familiar with those, you can see [00:03:03.818] some examples with the search tips below. [00:03:07.840] This (AND NOT) is going to make it so that you can get even [00:03:09.938] more specific with your search results. [00:03:12.000] Or you can use OR [00:03:14.250] to widen your search and look for synonyms [00:03:17.038] and similar terms. [00:03:20.340] You've got unique limiters [00:03:22.038] underneath those advanced search fields. [00:03:24.300] This is going to help you narrow down your search [00:03:26.460] even more. So we're looking at full-text documents. [00:03:29.139] We could uncheck full-text and choose to look at citations as [00:03:31.280] well. We could narrow to peer [00:03:33.490] reviewed journal articles [00:03:35.538] for college or GT [00:03:37.538] students, [00:03:38.538] scholars, or professional development articles. [00:03:40.800] We can narrow [00:03:42.978] by the publication date. [00:03:44.938] So if we're looking for recent medical information or [00:03:47.158] we're looking for the latest news. This can be very [00:03:49.378] helpful. [00:03:51.438] I love these "content type" boxes [00:03:53.530] and I'll show you an example of a search later. [00:03:55.949] But this is a quick, easy way to get [00:03:57.990] to specific "content type" and you [00:04:00.008] don't even need a search term to search by "content type". [00:04:04.530] Below that, by "document type" [00:04:08.840] is going to let you get very specific. [00:04:11.038] So if I'm looking for a science experiment, [00:04:13.938] I can look for that type of document. [00:04:16.838] Each one of these limiters is going to have a little information [00:04:19.069] tab that will tell you more about [00:04:21.838] the particular type of search we're doing. [00:04:23.860] So don't feel like you have to memorize all of it [00:04:25.949] right now. [00:04:27.139] And if you're a teacher or if you [00:04:29.139] are in public libraries and you have younger [00:04:31.149] users, [00:04:32.040] the "content levels" [00:04:33.740] are going to make it easy to get to [00:04:35.750] particular Lexile levels, particular [00:04:38.088] reading levels, that work with your [00:04:40.209] students or young adults. [00:04:42.939] These do line up to the lexile [00:04:44.959] levels, but an easy way to [00:04:47.050] see these is: one and two is elementary reading level, [00:04:49.300] three is going to be middle school, four for high [00:04:51.399] school and five above [00:04:53.409] that high school reading level. [00:04:54.338] So I'm searching Gale In context [00:04:56.420] high school, we'll show you some "content level" searches later, [00:04:58.920] but we'll start with an advanced search and [00:05:00.990] how you can use terms and fields to get to specific [00:05:03.160] results. I'm going [00:05:06.480] to change this field back to keyword and [00:05:08.639] we'll do a before and after (of results). [00:05:10.639] If I type in the word "climate change", you'll [00:05:12.800] notice it has auto-predict. [00:05:15.040] And that will help me with spelling and [00:05:17.740] if I select "climate change" from here, it's [00:05:19.819] also going to put the terms in quotation marks. [00:05:22.540] So that's going to look specifically [00:05:25.009] for climate followed by change. [00:05:27.389] In that order. [00:05:29.139] If I do a keyword search on "climate change," [00:05:34.838] you'll notice that I find a lot of results, [00:05:37.050] many different content types. [00:05:39.139] I do have the option to filter over here [00:05:41.230] on the right. But since we're in advanced [00:05:43.540] search, we're going to focus on [00:05:45.620] filtering and narrowing results down [00:05:47.680] with our advanced search options. [00:05:51.040] I can either click "revise search" right [00:05:53.100] here, I can click back in my browser to clear [00:05:55.939] my search, but I'm going to go to "search history" [00:05:58.199] in this example because it really helps you see [00:06:01.139] the number of results for my search terms. [00:06:03.579] So I did a keyword search for "climate change" [00:06:06.019] and I got [00:06:06.939] 68,000 results. [00:06:09.740] I'm going to revise that to narrow it [00:06:11.769] down. By "revising," [00:06:15.449] I've kept my search terms and keyword field search. [00:06:17.588] Now I'd like to be more [00:06:19.730] specific, I want "climate change" to [00:06:21.730] be the subject [00:06:23.240] of my article (not just mentioned) [00:06:25.439] and I'm going to add [00:06:27.500] a couple of search terms to make it even [00:06:29.769] more narrow. [00:06:30.939] I'd also like the word pollution to be [00:06:33.009] in there and [00:06:36.480] I'd like to talk about plastic [00:06:38.610] pollution. [00:06:40.540] Now you'll notice that auto-predict gives me plastic, plastics, plasticity. [00:06:44.439] I can throw in a wildcard here [00:06:49.139] So this asterisk [00:06:51.540] is going to be considered a wildcard. You can also [00:06:53.879] use a question mark or exclamation point. [00:06:56.290] It's going to look for everything that starts [00:06:58.480] with plastic [00:06:59.939] and I would like plastic* to be just somewhere [00:07:02.028] in the "entire document". [00:07:03.439] So I'm searching multiple terms and a couple of different fields [00:07:05.629] (subject, keyword, entire document) to narrow my results. [00:07:11.740] Now we can see we've gotten very specific, [00:07:14.240] we see all of our search terms right here [00:07:17.040] and the option to revise. [00:07:18.838] I'm looking at the subject of "climate [00:07:20.838] change" with the keyword of pollution [00:07:22.899] that mentions plastic in the document. [00:07:26.040] Very easy to share out these search [00:07:28.220] results [00:07:29.439] by going to "get link". [00:07:31.540] So you don't have to tell your students all the different [00:07:33.670] terms you used to get there, you can just [00:07:35.740] use "get link" to share your results. [00:07:39.740] And if we look at my "search history", you can see, [00:07:41.920] I went from 68,000 results [00:07:44.139] to 83 very specific [00:07:46.329] results. I'll go ahead [00:07:48.389] and clear my search history [00:07:51.139] and show you one other thing in advanced search [00:07:53.480] within Gale In context high school [00:07:55.649] before I show you something unique within your [00:07:57.659] OneFile periodical resources. [00:08:00.139] So we just did multiple search terms [00:08:02.180] and search fields at the top [00:08:03.838] to get very specific. You can use [00:08:05.870] Advanced Search to do a broad search as well. [00:08:08.240] We know that we can use OR to [00:08:10.319] look for synonyms, [00:08:11.939] climate change [00:08:13.639] OR global warming, for [00:08:15.730] example. [00:08:17.139] We can also use these limiters down here [00:08:19.379] to either narrow or expand our search. [00:08:22.639] This is very powerful. If you have [00:08:24.829] a student who's coming in who's looking for, [00:08:26.838] say, a primary source document. [00:08:29.240] They don't know which one, they just [00:08:31.410] know that they have to do a [00:08:33.428] report on a primary source [00:08:35.450] that's a speech. [00:08:37.840] I can click "primary sources", [00:08:40.240] narrow down [00:08:42.038] to the "document type": speeches. [00:08:49.840] And maybe that student is at a different reading level [00:08:52.399] than high school. [00:08:54.440] I'm going to refine results to say [00:08:56.610] level three for Middle School [00:08:59.940] And two for Upper Elementary. [00:09:03.440] We'll include four for high school. [00:09:05.440] So I've narrowed it down by primary sources, [00:09:07.610] that are speeches, in their reading level, [00:09:10.840] but I haven't added any search terms. [00:09:14.139] Quick, Easy way to get to content. Just do [00:09:16.330] a search here, without search terms, [00:09:19.240] I now have 329 primary [00:09:21.600] sources and again, the ability to filter [00:09:24.090] and narrow it down over on the right. [00:09:26.940] If I have decided that maybe I don't [00:09:29.259] need that reading level, I can just [00:09:31.668] click the X to remove the filter that [00:09:33.720] I had added and get all of [00:09:35.720] my results (primary sources: speeches) [00:09:41.940] Now, all of these Advanced Searches [00:09:44.408] are going to look similar within your Gale resources. [00:09:46.899] Advanced Search is right here under the basic search. [00:09:50.240] I'm showing you this next one in Gale General Onefile because [00:09:52.389] there's something unique you can do within your Onefile periodical [00:09:54.908] resources. [00:09:56.240] When I do an advanced search [00:09:58.240] In a Gale Onefile product, [00:10:00.440] it is really helpful to be able to repeat [00:10:02.879] the search. Not just get the search [00:10:05.019] results but actually get alerts without [00:10:07.168] rewriting my search. You'll notice that the search [00:10:09.308] term and [00:10:10.240] fields look the same. [00:10:12.940] We may have some additional fields that we can look [00:10:15.048] through but very similar. [00:10:17.139] We still got all of our Boolean operators, [00:10:20.340] our checkboxes to limit by peer-reviewed, [00:10:22.710] and document type. [00:10:25.740] But when I do a search within [00:10:27.889] Onefile, I'm going to go ahead and [00:10:30.110] do a similar search [00:10:32.340] using [00:10:34.240] proximity searching this time. [00:10:38.610] The proximity operator is going to look for, [00:10:41.538] I look for plastic [00:10:45.940] and then my wild card, I want it to [00:10:47.960] be within three words of [00:10:50.090] pollution. [00:10:51.038] So it doesn't need to be [00:10:53.340] plastic followed by pollution. It can be within [00:10:55.759] three words of that. "Plastic [00:10:57.970] is increasing pollution" would pop [00:11:00.220] up as a result, for example. [00:11:04.740] And then I'm also going to narrow down by [00:11:06.990] the publication title. You have so [00:11:09.048] many publication titles available to you [00:11:11.080] within your periodical resources. General [00:11:13.620] onefile has over 9000. [00:11:16.840] This is a great way to take a look at the [00:11:18.928] way that different publications are covering [00:11:21.288] the same issue. [00:11:23.139] So I want to look at coverage from [00:11:25.370] "the new york times" [00:11:29.139] or "USA Today" [00:11:30.240] (and you'll notice I'm putting that on the same line). [00:11:38.440] OR usa today [00:11:41.038] you can add as many rows and search terms as you like [00:11:43.149] so you can make your search as [00:11:46.740] detailed as you'd like. So I'm looking for [00:11:48.750] plastic within three words of [00:11:50.769] pollution. Only these two publications, [00:11:54.740] I do still have the option to add limiters [00:11:56.830] if I want to look by a specific date, [00:11:59.038] but I'm okay with this. I'm going to go ahead [00:12:01.070] and run my search [00:12:06.038] and we've gotten very specific results [00:12:09.639] within Gale General Onefile. What's nice is [00:12:12.058] you can click "search alert" right [00:12:14.269] next to the "search history" we were using earlier [00:12:17.340] and we can be notified every time there are [00:12:19.440] new results on that search. [00:12:21.450] So I don't have to repeat typing that search in every [00:12:23.668] time if this is a topic I care [00:12:25.740] about and want to get informed daily, [00:12:28.038] weekly, monthly content from those publications. [00:12:31.538] I can also set up an rss feed. [00:12:33.558] Maybe I want to start a channel on Feedly [00:12:35.778] or another rss reader, [00:12:38.240] just cut and paste that link in there. [00:12:42.538] Another quick thing I can do, I can [00:12:44.590] look for publication in advanced search. [00:12:47.090] I can also just click on the title of [00:12:49.129] the publication. These titles are all hyperlinks [00:12:56.038] and I can also create a journal alert from here [00:12:58.158] So every time new information comes [00:13:00.200] in from "the new york times", I can choose that [00:13:02.340] to go to my rss feed [00:13:04.240] or I can choose to have that emailed to [00:13:06.298] me on a schedule that works [00:13:08.399] for me. You can do this within [00:13:10.418] any of your Gale Onefile products. [00:13:12.639] The advanced search is giving us a lot [00:13:14.678] of different options [00:13:16.139] to narrow down our search or [00:13:18.158] to widen it, if we're looking for a larger variety [00:13:20.538] of different resources. [00:13:28.240] Now we are going to get to questions and answers [00:13:30.778] at the end of this 15 minutes, but before [00:13:33.350] we do that, I want to mention that you do [00:13:35.350] have a gale customer success manager [00:13:37.580] available. [00:13:38.639] That person is going to help you be successful [00:13:40.908] with all things Gale: usage, statistics, [00:13:43.778] marketing, if you need [00:13:45.908] to integrate with an LMS, [00:13:48.110] if you need different ideas, this person [00:13:50.350] is here to help. And every account has a [00:13:52.500] Customer Success manager dedicated to them. This is the generic [00:13:54.840] email if you [00:13:56.139] don't yet know the customer success manager for your [00:13:58.240] account. We have lots [00:14:00.360] of support and training materials at support.gale.com [00:14:02.240] This is a 15 minute, real quick [00:14:04.538] tutorial. We do have longer tutorials [00:14:06.928] available on advanced search and [00:14:09.259] on each unique database. [00:14:11.500] So check that out at support.gale.com [00:14:13.509] You can also find things like [00:14:15.610] scavenger hunts and promotional materials [00:14:17.778] ready for you. [00:14:19.840] We hope that you've enjoyed today's session. [00:14:22.000] We will be staying to answer questions, [00:14:24.278] but if you only have 15 minutes [00:14:26.548] today, [00:14:27.440] thank you for being with us.
