[00:00:05.820] Welcome in. Again everyone. Today [00:00:07.860] we have a Gale 101 session which [00:00:09.880] is focused on Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints [00:00:12.099] My name is Amber Winters [00:00:14.519] and I am your training consultant for the day. [00:00:17.929] So today we're first going to overview [00:00:20.129] Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints. So what you [00:00:22.179] can expect some of the different features [00:00:24.440] you're going to see, we're going to talk about [00:00:26.559] some of the key content that you might want to highlight [00:00:28.839] for your users who are coming in. [00:00:30.929] But we'll spend the majority of the time actually in the [00:00:32.959] resource kind of clicking through the different workflows [00:00:35.240] available. We'll take a look at how you can both [00:00:37.298] browse and search and we'll also take [00:00:39.389] a look at all of the great tools your users are going [00:00:41.459] to have access to through the [00:00:43.859] platform. [00:00:45.779] And then at the very end of the session, we'll have [00:00:47.950] some time for questions and I have some wrap up contact [00:00:50.259] information for you as well. If you have [00:00:52.439] questions as we move along through the session [00:00:54.569] again, feel free to put those into the Q and A, [00:00:56.829] I should be able to answer them as we move along. [00:00:59.329] If that Q and A does get a little bit backed up, [00:01:01.469] then I will wait until the very end to answer your questions. [00:01:03.868] But if it's in the Q and A, it [00:01:05.909] will get answered. So don't worry if we have to wait until the [00:01:07.959] very end. [00:01:11.480] So let's get started here. So Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints [00:01:13.918] is of course focused [00:01:16.069] on [00:01:16.888] just that viewpoints. It's a current [00:01:19.028] event focused resource that's specifically [00:01:21.569] designed for high schoolers up [00:01:23.609] through adult learners. So we're talking [00:01:25.909] high school, undergrads, graduates, [00:01:28.400] as well as general researchers that you may [00:01:30.469] have come into your public library who are [00:01:32.500] looking for insights into current events. [00:01:34.730] and this material is updated continuously. [00:01:36.989] So they're going to find, [00:01:38.719] you know, materials that were published yesterday. [00:01:41.250] that's going to really highlight exactly what's [00:01:43.308] going on. It's going to give them context around [00:01:45.609] that event or that topic or [00:01:47.650] that's [00:01:49.528] individual, maybe they're trying to research an individual, [00:01:52.480] it's going to provide the context around that [00:01:54.918] topic. It's going to help them research [00:01:57.079] and it's also going to highlight different opinions. [00:01:59.308] So not only are they getting the facts [00:02:01.480] about whatever topic they're looking at, say it's [00:02:03.989] global climate change, they're going to get the facts [00:02:06.588] and the science and they're also going to get [00:02:08.719] opinions and viewpoint essays to kind of [00:02:10.750] allow them to think critically and develop [00:02:13.058] their own thoughts about whatever those topics they're [00:02:15.088] looking at are [00:02:17.490] and this does have a broad range of coverage. [00:02:19.669] Again, this is focused high school and above [00:02:21.868] leveled content. [00:02:23.409] So they will find things that are pretty [00:02:25.699] high level related to things like medicine, [00:02:28.368] economics, politics, different [00:02:30.838] cultural ideas, the environments. [00:02:33.610] There's a huge technology collection, [00:02:35.750] of course, technology is moving so [00:02:37.889] fast. There are a lot of hot topics [00:02:40.258] that you're going to find within [00:02:42.288] Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints [00:02:44.500] and what I love with this resource is the content [00:02:46.889] type is really varied. So you're not just getting, [00:02:49.250] you know, reference articles and [00:02:51.338] essays, you're also getting things like [00:02:53.649] visual statistics and multimedia [00:02:55.949] tools and things like that. So we're [00:02:58.129] trying to reach all learners and all [00:03:00.240] users whatever they need. If they're having [00:03:02.490] trouble reading, if they're struggling readers, [00:03:04.800] they want to drop in and take a look at a podcast, [00:03:07.210] you know, if they need some sort of statistic [00:03:10.399] for a project they're working on, they can [00:03:12.439] pull that content type instead. So it's a really [00:03:14.580] nice mix of all of these different [00:03:16.830] contents that are going to hit [00:03:18.889] almost every aspect of learning [00:03:20.919] about a current event. [00:03:23.569] And I do just want to hit on a few of those key content [00:03:25.909] types. So if you do have users starting to come [00:03:27.929] into your library or if I have teachers [00:03:30.469] on the line having students come into your classroom, [00:03:33.000] you may want to keep these just in the back of your mind [00:03:35.319] to kind of point them as they're starting their research. [00:03:37.500] So of course, the first what you're going to [00:03:39.558] expect and that kind of database is going [00:03:41.618] to be your reference articles. So these are [00:03:43.710] going to give the background [00:03:45.889] kind of that ground level understanding [00:03:48.080] of whatever topic that's really going to get [00:03:50.229] them started in their research. But [00:03:52.270] most likely that's not where they're going to end, [00:03:54.379] they're going to get that background knowledge and they're going to need [00:03:56.469] to use that somehow. [00:03:58.308] So moving from there, they're also going to find [00:04:00.500] viewpoint essays. So this is moving forward [00:04:02.838] to actually getting opinion pieces. [00:04:05.330] And what's great is we don't label those opinion [00:04:07.460] pieces. Procon [00:04:09.159] um We include [00:04:11.038] opinions from all different angles and [00:04:13.069] your users have to read it and kind of figure out, [00:04:15.270] you know, is this pro whatever topic I'm learning [00:04:17.358] about, you know, is it pro increasing [00:04:19.678] the minimum wage, is it against it? [00:04:21.980] They have to really think critically about that to [00:04:23.988] understand what the author is trying to say. [00:04:27.259] We also have really amazing statistics. [00:04:29.619] A lot of them are actually interactive infographics, [00:04:32.660] which is going to let your users hover over [00:04:34.850] different parts of charts and graphs to understand [00:04:37.160] what they're saying. So this is really [00:04:39.778] beneficial if you have students coming [00:04:42.069] in either in a public library setting or a K 12 [00:04:44.290] setting, who are building projects [00:04:46.480] and who need to have that kind of scientific [00:04:48.608] backup for what they're saying. [00:04:50.459] They'll be able to access those within Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints [00:04:52.588] and they can actually [00:04:54.889] download them and add them to projects or add [00:04:57.079] them to homework assignments. Or you as an [00:04:59.088] educator can maybe use [00:05:01.199] one as a [00:05:02.088] bell ringer. You know, have your students evaluate [00:05:04.548] a specific statistic while you're taking [00:05:06.678] attendance or have it as a discussion [00:05:08.939] post and a discussion board. Really, the [00:05:11.709] the uses are endless for these great statistics that [00:05:13.829] we have available. [00:05:15.910] Another key feature you may want to keep [00:05:18.088] in the back of your mind. Here are our multimedia [00:05:20.470] tools. So we've got a huge collection of images [00:05:23.309] of video files and the videos are usually [00:05:25.500] pretty short. Um I don't think I've seen [00:05:27.738] many over the 10 minute mark, so they're [00:05:29.819] really great at trying to [00:05:31.709] give quick bites of information [00:05:33.750] as opposed to trying to have someone log on [00:05:35.769] and watch a 30 minutes session like we're [00:05:37.819] doing today. [00:05:38.759] It's really designed to help your users [00:05:40.798] just get that quick bit of information and kind [00:05:43.129] of move forward. We also have great podcasts [00:05:45.829] in here. So if you have users who prefer [00:05:47.869] to listen to their materials, they'll [00:05:50.309] be able to do that right within Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints [00:05:52.548] as well. [00:05:55.528] Got a huge news and magazine collection [00:05:58.009] again, which is updated daily. So [00:06:00.269] your users are going to see the, [00:06:02.798] excuse me, the top articles that are [00:06:04.838] being released and they're going to be able to go through [00:06:07.439] and read all of that information to really [00:06:09.459] kind of bring what's going on around them [00:06:12.329] to the forefront and really to [00:06:14.639] in front of them. And what I love is they can [00:06:16.678] pair that news with our reference articles. [00:06:19.178] So if they read this news article and they're just like, [00:06:21.199] I don't know what this is saying. [00:06:23.579] I know it's important but I don't know what this topic [00:06:25.678] means. They can just click back into [00:06:27.709] one of our reference articles, get that background [00:06:29.980] knowledge and come back to the news. So [00:06:32.459] it's really a one stop shop. They're starting [00:06:34.819] from that very beginning all the way [00:06:36.879] up to where they need to be and they can go back at any [00:06:39.069] time to find content. [00:06:41.759] I've also included in here primary sources [00:06:44.269] and this resource isn't one [00:06:46.329] that oftentimes you think about finding primary [00:06:48.559] sources and you know, we're talking about current [00:06:50.889] events in primary sources being in the past [00:06:53.220] sometimes contradicts a little bit. [00:06:55.338] But what's great is we do have those primary [00:06:57.459] sources. So if you have a student coming [00:06:59.488] in researching maybe smoking [00:07:02.220] in public health and they not only want to talk about [00:07:04.379] what we're doing now, but they want to look historically, [00:07:06.750] what have we done in the past? What sort of marketing [00:07:08.970] has there been around smoking? [00:07:10.709] You know, what did health care professionals [00:07:13.040] say about smoking back in the day? [00:07:15.439] They can find those primary sources here as [00:07:17.449] well. Which is a nice feature. Again [00:07:19.778] that you wouldn't really think about, that's just a little bit hidden [00:07:22.798] and I didn't include it on this page. And I realize [00:07:24.949] now that I probably should have, but we do have a [00:07:26.959] huge collection of academic journals [00:07:29.088] in this resource as well. So if [00:07:31.290] you're in, you know, the public library field [00:07:33.428] or if you're working with 12th graders or undergrads [00:07:35.608] and they're using the academic content, [00:07:38.338] they're going to find a whole huge collection of that [00:07:40.470] within this resource as well. So that's another [00:07:42.988] level of content for them. [00:07:47.720] Now, I wanna go ahead and jump into the resource. I [00:07:49.738] haven't seen any questions pop up in my [00:07:51.750] Q and A but as I switch over my screen, [00:07:54.220] do you have any questions at all about [00:07:56.230] just that kind of that basic overview of [00:07:58.470] Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints [00:08:00.069] [00:08:05.988] OK. I don't see any. Give me a second here. [00:08:09.149] Wanna make sure I am not signed out of the resource. Its been [00:08:11.269] sitting inactive in my browser for a while. [00:08:14.410] OK. So this is the homepage of Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints [00:08:16.480] And I do want to [00:08:18.500] kind of orient us as we start to click through. [00:08:21.009] So our search bar is always going to be in the [00:08:23.119] top left here no matter where we click [00:08:25.259] in the resource, we'll have access to that [00:08:27.910] scrolling down on the home page. Our [00:08:30.470] toolbar here has a few different [00:08:32.538] tools available for your patrons. [00:08:34.678] Even before they click into an article [00:08:36.750] or an image or whatever it may be. [00:08:38.489] they'll be able to browse through issues. They [00:08:40.609] can take a look at a title list, they can [00:08:42.729] view their search history. [00:08:44.399] They have this great get link feature that we're [00:08:46.548] going to take a look at in a bit [00:08:48.500] and then they can click and see any highlights and [00:08:50.599] notes that they took throughout the session, which we'll look at [00:08:52.710] once we get into an article [00:08:55.190] scrolling down from, there are issues [00:08:57.219] of interest change monthly sometimes [00:08:59.649] more. You know, if something big happens in the world and [00:09:01.678] we, you know, want to highlight that within the resource, [00:09:04.099] you know, like a natural disaster or something like that. [00:09:06.690] You may see this updated more than more [00:09:09.259] frequently than monthly, but generally speaking, [00:09:11.320] it's updated monthly. So this [00:09:13.349] is great if you know, your users aren't quite [00:09:15.519] sure what they want to learn about. [00:09:17.979] They can just take a look at kind of what we've decided [00:09:20.340] to pull forward. Things that have been [00:09:22.658] kind of in focus in the media recently, [00:09:25.989] then scrolling down from there. [00:09:27.830] They're going to see all of our issues [00:09:29.908] that we have topic pages created [00:09:32.340] for. So here I want to mention [00:09:34.190] all of our in context resources [00:09:36.639] are organized into topic pages [00:09:39.139] and what those are, are pre [00:09:40.969] curated pages about specific topics. [00:09:43.219] Those topics are going to be the most searched [00:09:45.590] the most utilized. Um [00:09:48.139] And the most explored within the [00:09:50.168] resource, they're going to have pre created pages [00:09:52.460] with overviews. [00:09:53.969] Um, excuse me and with [00:09:56.009] organized results attached to that page. [00:09:59.129] And you'll see right now, we have 483 [00:10:01.899] issues or topic pages listed here. [00:10:04.288] And these are not all of the topics we have in the [00:10:06.369] resource. Of course. So [00:10:08.428] if your patrons are browsing through [00:10:10.599] and maybe don't see where they're looking when they browse through [00:10:12.690] topic pages, they'll run a search [00:10:14.759] at that point and they'll pull a search results page [00:10:16.849] with their content. [00:10:18.369] But these topic pages are [00:10:20.460] a really great, great place to start browsing. [00:10:22.558] I'm just going to click browse all here so you can [00:10:24.658] take a look when we browse all [00:10:26.788] of our topic pages, [00:10:29.038] as I said, there's over 400. So there's a lot [00:10:31.908] so you can get a feel of what we have created. But [00:10:34.099] it's great to browse this way and click through [00:10:36.269] our different topic options. So [00:10:38.379] if you're, you know, [00:10:40.168] individual, your users coming in, maybe they just [00:10:42.200] want to see what's new in this resource. [00:10:44.408] I can hit new and you'll see anything [00:10:46.428] that's new or updated here. [00:10:49.639] Maybe they know specifically they want [00:10:51.788] something about technology. They want to [00:10:53.950] explore some of the different topics that are [00:10:56.000] going on currently in technology. [00:10:58.029] They can click into that section. [00:11:01.808] Now, just going to see [00:11:04.450] those topic pages here. So you'll see, this is going [00:11:06.548] to start helping them narrow down and [00:11:08.830] this browse option is really great again for [00:11:10.879] your users who are coming in. Not 100% [00:11:13.239] on what they want to actually explore. [00:11:15.369] They can just go through this list [00:11:17.580] and maybe it'll, you know, get them kind of interested [00:11:19.658] a little bit and start to consider [00:11:21.820] what they want to take a look at. [00:11:24.668] But I'm going to go, go back home to the [00:11:26.739] home page here just by clicking [00:11:28.899] on the name and the banner. [00:11:31.029] Because instead of browsing, I'm going to search [00:11:33.109] today. So you can kind of get a feel of what that looks like. [00:11:35.639] I'm not going to fully run through an advanced search, [00:11:37.820] but I do want to show you some of the different filters [00:11:39.849] that you may want to point out to your users. [00:11:41.899] So our advanced search is found here underneath our basic [00:11:44.320] search bar. [00:11:47.849] And if your user says something really specific [00:11:49.950] in mind, this is a great place to send them because [00:11:51.989] of course, they can choose where they want to [00:11:54.109] search if they want to search by keyword or maybe [00:11:56.149] they wanna search through an entire document. [00:11:58.989] And you'll notice when I choose these, [00:12:01.908] it's telling me what they're going to find the results [00:12:04.389] in. So the difference may be between a keyword [00:12:06.668] or searching for an entire document. [00:12:08.979] It's a nice [00:12:11.288] option to have up top here, but I want to point [00:12:13.389] out down below. [00:12:14.969] You'll see, I've got these filters that I just think [00:12:17.048] are so handy. Especially [00:12:19.469] if I do have something really specific and I don't [00:12:21.479] want to dig through. [00:12:22.849] You'll see, I can narrow down just the full text documents [00:12:25.399] within gal and context opposing viewpoints. [00:12:27.808] The majority of our documents are full text, [00:12:29.918] but you will find some citations [00:12:32.250] and some just to kind of brief [00:12:34.808] summaries specifically. If we're talking [00:12:37.019] about academic journals, you'll see some of those citations. [00:12:39.739] So we can make sure we're seeing full text [00:12:41.869] by checking this box. You'll see, we also [00:12:44.090] have the option to narrow it down to just peer [00:12:46.139] reviewed journals. So if you do have [00:12:48.259] individuals at that higher level coming in [00:12:50.298] for research and they don't want to be [00:12:52.538] kind of bogged down with the news or things that isn't [00:12:55.200] peer reviewed. They can narrow down to just [00:12:57.330] peer reviewed here. They want something [00:12:59.428] with images or a document that's at a lower [00:13:01.629] level. They have those options here. [00:13:04.989] And underneath that, they have this option [00:13:07.149] to narrow down by content type as [00:13:09.298] well. So if they're looking for biographies, [00:13:11.609] maybe they can narrow down here. As I mentioned, we [00:13:13.658] have a pretty [00:13:14.979] large selection of primary sources [00:13:17.320] and they can choose to narrow that down here as well. [00:13:19.558] So they'll only pull content from whatever content [00:13:21.908] type they're looking at. This is a great way [00:13:23.989] for them to narrow down to exactly what they need, [00:13:27.590] but I'm going to go back to home one more time [00:13:30.330] and I'm actually going to run a basic search instead [00:13:32.340] of an advanced search because as we all know, [00:13:34.440] a lot of times this is where your users are going to [00:13:36.489] start, you know, they're not going to browse, they're not going to try to [00:13:38.529] dig into an advanced search. They're just gonna search [00:13:40.658] a word. [00:13:41.690] So we're going to go ahead and do that. And what I want to point [00:13:43.700] out, I'm actually going to search for self driving cars. [00:13:46.269] I actually saw it pop up here and our issues [00:13:48.509] of interest and I personally think that is [00:13:50.570] interesting. So I'm going to start [00:13:52.609] typing. I want you to notice when I do that. [00:13:57.119] These first two options here in my [00:13:59.229] predictive texts are bolded when [00:14:01.590] you see a bold under our predictive text, that [00:14:03.629] means we have a topic page already created [00:14:06.320] so users can click into these and they'll get [00:14:08.469] that curated view as opposed to getting [00:14:10.729] a standard search results view. So let's [00:14:12.899] do that. We'll click into self driving cars [00:14:17.298] and now we're on our topic page here. So [00:14:19.308] this is a lot cleaner and a lot more organized [00:14:21.450] than just your standard search [00:14:23.469] results page because we tried to make it that really [00:14:25.678] easy research point for users. So [00:14:28.019] at the very top of this page, we're always going to [00:14:30.080] have an overview. So this is [00:14:32.178] just giving that background. Generally, [00:14:34.200] it's going to be a nice short reference article [00:14:36.408] that's going to give them their [00:14:38.428] footing within this topic so they can really [00:14:40.509] start to dig in. [00:14:41.788] So they'll get that at the top here [00:14:45.288] underneath. You'll see this on this [00:14:47.399] page section is going to pull back all of [00:14:49.489] our results. So this is kind of what [00:14:51.629] they would have seen if they were to have run a basic [00:14:54.038] search, they would have all of these different results. [00:14:56.330] We've just chosen to organize them here. [00:14:58.960] So they can choose to click into say [00:15:01.149] our featured viewpoint, [00:15:02.274] which are generally excuse me, [00:15:04.484] our viewpoint articles that are going to be the most [00:15:06.604] current that may contain you know, a recent [00:15:09.335] topic that's related to this topic page. [00:15:11.913] They may want to take a look at those, they may want to look [00:15:13.945] at the rest of our viewpoints that may be slightly older, [00:15:16.254] maybe a couple of years as opposed to current to this [00:15:18.404] year. They'll have access [00:15:20.678] to images, our news reports, [00:15:23.029] our academic journals, all that great stuff. [00:15:25.379] You'll see, we pull it together here in these different content [00:15:27.779] buckets. [00:15:29.190] So again, nice and organized for them. So they [00:15:31.259] don't have to kind of dig through to find the content [00:15:33.558] they need. It's all right here for them [00:15:36.178] at the very bottom of the page. Let me scroll [00:15:38.320] down here. [00:15:39.769] We have related topics listed here [00:15:41.808] as well. So these related topics are going [00:15:43.869] to help them move forward. So if they kind [00:15:46.038] of took a look at self driving cars, and, [00:15:48.869] you know, they're trying to understand how that's [00:15:50.889] going to work with public transportation, let's [00:15:53.029] say, or with our current infrastructure, [00:15:55.509] they can click directly into those topic pages. [00:15:57.710] So again, they're moving themselves forward [00:16:00.239] in their research without even running a search, [00:16:02.529] they can literally point and click all the way through [00:16:04.580] this resource to find content [00:16:06.590] that they need. [00:16:08.349] So they can jump to these different topic [00:16:11.139] pages if they like. [00:16:15.279] And I do want to scroll up here because I mentioned we have [00:16:17.399] those great statistics and infographics here. [00:16:19.889] I wanna show you what one of those looks like today [00:16:21.950] before we just look at a text document. So [00:16:24.340] our infographics are pulled up here [00:16:26.509] and our statistics have their own little [00:16:28.950] content bucket as well, but I can click [00:16:31.149] into any of these. So we'll click in this top one here, [00:16:34.840] opinions about the potential effects [00:16:36.849] of autonomous vehicles on society. [00:16:40.168] So again, this is interactive so they [00:16:42.359] can hover over any part of this graph [00:16:45.769] and it's going to tell them what that part of the graph [00:16:48.129] is saying specifically. And you'll [00:16:50.149] see they can actually choose some different parameters [00:16:52.690] here. And [00:16:55.178] this is going to give them a really nice view [00:16:57.279] of what they're looking at. So if [00:16:59.418] they are a little bit confused by graphs or charts, [00:17:01.879] especially those of you in the K 12 Arena. You [00:17:04.000] know, sometimes that's one of the hardest things [00:17:06.160] to teach students is how to actually [00:17:08.380] read a graph. This is going to help them [00:17:10.509] with that. This is telling them that [00:17:12.559] 4% of people making less [00:17:14.618] than $50,000 [00:17:18.430] are entirely positive [00:17:20.729] about [00:17:22.809] about this specific [00:17:25.078] bit of information. I'm sorry, I didn't look at this graph ahead of [00:17:27.150] time. But you'll see they [00:17:29.189] can hover over and take a look at that really [00:17:31.259] quickly [00:17:36.799] scrolling down here. You'll see. We do give [00:17:38.989] just another bit of information here for them. [00:17:41.088] If they want to take a look at that, this is specifically [00:17:43.390] saying what different levels [00:17:45.430] of automation are considered [00:17:47.858] from the National Highway [00:17:50.140] Administration. [00:17:52.199] So just giving them a little bit more information [00:17:54.219] on some of the differences between levels [00:17:56.299] of automation [00:17:57.979] and down there. [00:18:00.789] So now let's jump back to my topic page. I can [00:18:02.910] do that either by hitting the back button in my browser [00:18:05.439] or by using my breadcrumb trail [00:18:07.559] up top here. I'm gonna do that way. [00:18:11.519] I'm gonna scroll down here. Now, let's say [00:18:13.618] I want to take a look at all of my featured [00:18:15.739] viewpoint essays as opposed to just these first [00:18:17.809] three that are shown here. I'll just click [00:18:19.949] the title of that instead. [00:18:25.818] And now I'll see all of those and you'll see on this right [00:18:28.000] hand side, we have a few different options [00:18:30.049] for filtering. If we wanna filter by date [00:18:32.170] or things like that, we can certainly do that there. [00:18:35.318] And I want to point out here our get link [00:18:37.439] feature that we have available. I mentioned it on the [00:18:39.529] home page. It has followed us along [00:18:41.578] in our toolbar. Up top here, I can [00:18:43.769] use this button and get a persistent URL [00:18:45.890] to whatever page I'm on within this resource. [00:18:48.348] So if I want to maybe share this [00:18:50.430] out with my students or with my patrons, if [00:18:52.509] I'm at a public library or if I'm a [00:18:54.529] student, I want to save it [00:18:56.858] to use later for a project or for my homework, [00:18:59.328] I can use this and it will always pull me to [00:19:01.390] the specific page. And as we [00:19:03.420] click through this, get link really follows [00:19:05.630] us along. So we can do this at the [00:19:07.670] topic page level. If I want to bookmark [00:19:09.779] or get a link for a topic page, we [00:19:12.049] can do it at the document level. You'll see. I have [00:19:14.380] it listed here at um [00:19:16.969] under my results page. [00:19:18.779] I'll be able to get a link back to whatever page [00:19:21.019] that I'm on really simply here. So that's [00:19:23.189] a nice feature to have. They do want to save [00:19:25.430] a specific [00:19:27.118] area within this [00:19:28.699] resource. [00:19:30.779] But let's go ahead and just click into the first one here, Americans [00:19:33.219] should resist self driving cars. [00:19:37.039] So again, remember this is an opinion piece that [00:19:39.078] is not a reference article So obviously, [00:19:41.390] it is leaning one very specific [00:19:43.848] way when we're talking about autonomous vehicles, [00:19:47.670] but they can click into this now and they can start to scroll [00:19:49.848] down, take a look at the commentary about the article [00:19:52.769] and then read through the full article. And again, [00:19:54.789] you'll see this is not listed anywhere [00:19:56.910] as you know, pro self driving cars, [00:19:59.568] anti self driving cars. Your users [00:20:01.680] have to read this and figure out on their own [00:20:04.160] with this one. Obviously, it's a little more specific [00:20:06.568] just by reading the title, they're most likely kind of going [00:20:08.650] to get a feel. But as they click [00:20:10.920] through and as they read different articles, they won't be [00:20:12.930] as obvious. You know, there may be some viewpoints [00:20:15.390] that have both pros and cons listed. [00:20:17.848] you know, there might be some that are very specific [00:20:20.309] to one you know, [00:20:22.368] feature of, of, of [00:20:24.930] a topic. So they'll have to kind of [00:20:26.939] go through on their own and take a look at these different articles [00:20:29.469] to get a real feel of what's going on. [00:20:32.019] Now, I do want to show you some tools that we have [00:20:34.130] available for these documents before we end off [00:20:36.239] for the day. So the first one I'm going to point [00:20:38.318] out is our citation tool, which is found [00:20:40.459] up top here in our toolbar. [00:20:42.939] This is going to give a fully [00:20:45.078] made citation. You'll see, we have Mlaap [00:20:47.368] a Chicago or Harvard formats. [00:20:49.989] So this lets users copy and paste. [00:20:52.209] So if they need it for their [00:20:55.039] their reference page, they can simply do that here. [00:20:57.439] This is a really great way to get buy in. [00:20:59.539] If you do have you know, users or students [00:21:02.229] who just really prefer to Google, you know, it's so [00:21:04.318] much easier just to Google, [00:21:06.400] they're not gonna get the citation from that. [00:21:08.410] If they do decide to Google and find a random article [00:21:10.529] off Google, which you know, of course, may or not may [00:21:12.868] not be um authoritative content. [00:21:15.390] They also have to build their own citations. [00:21:17.578] So if you direct them here and tell [00:21:19.719] them, hey, click this button and that awful [00:21:22.289] reference page that you have to develop is done [00:21:24.549] for you. It's a great way to get by [00:21:26.588] in. So they'll find the content that's actually authoritative [00:21:29.219] and accurate and they'll have that citation [00:21:33.750] next to our citation tool. We also have a send [00:21:35.939] to option. So we are integrated [00:21:38.108] with both Google Drive and Onedrive. [00:21:40.348] So if they want to save this article to either [00:21:42.509] one of those drives, they can do that just by hitting the [00:21:44.608] button. They can also email it to [00:21:46.858] themselves if they prefer to save it. That way [00:21:50.269] they have the option to download this document as well. [00:21:52.459] It downloads as a PDF to their desktop, [00:21:55.009] they can print it. If they prefer that hard copy [00:21:57.568] again, you'll see we have our get link here. [00:21:59.578] So this will provide another persistent [00:22:01.689] URL to this particular page. [00:22:05.410] And we do always recommend they use this gut link as [00:22:07.519] opposed to copying and pasting out of the address [00:22:09.689] bar. One because it's a lot shorter [00:22:12.019] but two because the address bar may [00:22:14.049] break eventually. If we update the platform [00:22:16.170] or you know, something is moved, that [00:22:18.219] link is gonna break this one will not, this is always [00:22:20.239] going to take them back to this particular page. [00:22:25.338] Now, we also have some really great text manipulation [00:22:27.989] tools down below the title here. [00:22:30.219] The first one is going to be our translate option. [00:22:32.289] So if you have users coming in looking [00:22:34.328] for articles in a specific language, you'll [00:22:36.509] see they can hit that button. [00:22:38.118] We've got a nice strap down here that's going to translate [00:22:40.229] to whatever article they need. [00:22:42.529] We also have the ability to set an interface [00:22:44.939] language which is going to change all [00:22:47.160] of the tools we have on this page [00:22:49.358] into whatever language they need. So [00:22:51.640] basically the platform itself is being [00:22:54.318] translated so they can easily navigate [00:22:56.358] through wherever they [00:22:58.459] are next to that [00:23:00.559] translate. We also have the option to [00:23:02.719] increase or decrease the font size [00:23:05.799] right next that some additional display options [00:23:07.890] are going to allow you to [00:23:09.509] scroll down here, change the background color. [00:23:12.239] You'll see we have some different fonts here, we do have a dyslexia [00:23:14.939] fonts. If your users prefer to [00:23:17.000] read that [00:23:18.729] they can also change the line letter and word spacing. [00:23:22.608] Really to make this super [00:23:24.939] customized to what they need. So they [00:23:27.078] can go through this before they even start reading [00:23:29.439] and decide how they can best see [00:23:31.598] it to make it as accessible as possible. [00:23:34.130] I'm gonna click back to defaults here [00:23:36.640] though. So next to that [00:23:38.809] display options, we also have our listen [00:23:41.049] tool. So even, you know, if [00:23:43.279] they've edited the display and they're still [00:23:45.299] struggling to read the article, they can [00:23:47.368] have it read to them right here just by hitting this listen [00:23:49.709] button and it does read in whatever language [00:23:52.368] they translated to. So if they actually translated [00:23:54.660] over to Spanish first and then hit listen, [00:23:57.130] it would read this full article in Spanish [00:23:59.229] for them. [00:24:02.420] In addition to that, we also have some great highlights [00:24:05.049] and note features. So if they're going [00:24:07.199] through and finding content, you know, for a project [00:24:09.500] or homework, they can click and drag over whatever [00:24:11.890] they think is important, choose a highlight, [00:24:13.900] color, [00:24:18.189] write whatever note they need and they can save [00:24:20.250] it and this is all session based. [00:24:23.279] So if they do highlight a lot, [00:24:25.750] oops, here we go and want to hold [00:24:27.959] on to it for later, they're going to want to get this [00:24:30.088] out of the platform in one of those ways I mentioned [00:24:32.459] before. So sending over to drives, [00:24:35.338] emailing, downloading or printing [00:24:37.509] any of those ways will retain those highlights [00:24:40.239] and any notes they took for them. [00:24:46.118] And I will also point out on this right hand [00:24:48.368] side here, we have our explore panel that you're [00:24:50.479] going to see attached to all of our entries. [00:24:53.150] So first it's going to give a more like this section [00:24:55.549] which is going to provide articles [00:24:57.719] that are specifically like this one. [00:24:59.789] OK. [00:25:01.500] And then right under that, they'll have a related subjects. [00:25:04.239] So this, as opposed to pulling articles [00:25:06.618] that are similar to this and that look like this one [00:25:08.848] is actually going to pull forward subjects [00:25:10.949] that's similar to this one. [00:25:15.719] And I do have one more tool [00:25:18.269] to show you all before we end off for the day. [00:25:20.568] But does anyone have any questions about [00:25:22.900] what we just went through? [00:25:29.299] Ok, I don't see any. So my last [00:25:31.578] tool I wanna show you is our topic finder [00:25:34.789] and you can find that um [00:25:36.828] under our advanced search or in our search [00:25:39.059] results pages. I'm just going to get to [00:25:41.150] it from our advanced search today. [00:25:43.848] When I click into advanced search, it pops up right here. [00:25:46.699] S topic finder. If you were on a search results [00:25:48.969] page, it's listed on this right hand [00:25:51.140] side under our filters. [00:25:55.239] But this is a great way to start off [00:25:57.269] research, especially if you have your users [00:25:59.358] or your students coming in with a really, really [00:26:01.709] broad search terms. And you know, they're going [00:26:03.868] to pull just an insane amount of content. [00:26:06.430] This is a great way for them to basically run [00:26:08.549] an advanced search without [00:26:10.239] actually developing the advanced search [00:26:12.348] so they can type in whatever their topic is. [00:26:14.509] So, let's do [00:26:16.650] vaccines today. Of course, thats a hot topic [00:26:18.799] that everyone seems to be, um, [00:26:21.358] researching and that everyone seems to have an opinion [00:26:23.368] on. so if they come in just searching [00:26:25.568] vaccine, they're going to find, [00:26:27.588] they're gonna be inundated with materials they may not [00:26:29.660] actually [00:26:30.588] need. So this is going to help them kind [00:26:32.729] of narrow it down. So they search for [00:26:34.750] vaccines. Maybe they're specifically [00:26:36.930] looking um [00:26:39.029] for the flu vaccines. Maybe they [00:26:41.160] kind of want to learn a bit about how vaccines [00:26:43.219] are manufactured. Maybe they want [00:26:45.279] to know more about vaccine hesi hesitancy [00:26:48.739] so they can click into any of those. Let's click into [00:26:50.858] this one. [00:26:52.890] And now you'll see, I'm starting to get a shorter list [00:26:55.250] of results here. So I've got 31 [00:26:57.930] results related to vaccines [00:27:00.150] and vaccine hesitancy. And I can even go [00:27:02.170] down a little bit lower if I wanted to. [00:27:04.699] And maybe I want to see some studies [00:27:07.059] that have been run. I could click into studies. [00:27:09.348] And now you'll see, I've got eight results [00:27:11.559] here as opposed to the [00:27:13.729] probably hundreds of thousands of results I would [00:27:15.759] have had if I were to have just run a basic [00:27:18.000] search for a vaccine. So this is a great, [00:27:20.479] great way for them to kind of narrow down [00:27:22.578] to find exactly what they need. So once [00:27:24.789] I do this, I can click directly into that document [00:27:29.180] looks like this is a report here [00:27:31.489] and I'll be able to see this and read all the way [00:27:33.689] through such [00:27:36.989] a nice clean way to find content [00:27:39.180] without having trying having to kind of [00:27:41.539] struggle to build search terms. So this is [00:27:43.630] also really great for those [00:27:45.789] high school students who are using this resource, [00:27:47.828] who are slowly building their search [00:27:50.049] term skills, but who are maybe [00:27:52.368] still [00:27:53.838] not quite ready to develop [00:27:55.930] those more detailed search for search [00:27:58.039] terms that are going to pull [00:27:59.598] more specific results. [00:28:01.689] This is a great way to get them started. I've [00:28:03.989] worked with teachers and with librarians who actually [00:28:06.338] start their students on the topic finder [00:28:08.358] page. They don't even have them run basic [00:28:10.640] search. They just have to go directly to that topic [00:28:12.689] finder and go start there, [00:28:15.150] run that search narrow down before you even see [00:28:17.180] results. So it's a really powerful feature [00:28:19.578] that I would definitely recommend pointing out to your users [00:28:21.910] who are starting to click into this resource. [00:28:27.390] Now, we've got a minute left. I have got some [00:28:29.519] quick information. I want to [00:28:32.009] give you all. [00:28:34.250] And while I switch back here to my slides [00:28:36.358] again, I haven't seen any questions come in, but I want [00:28:38.489] to make sure that I don't miss any. So if [00:28:40.539] you do have questions, please pop those into the [00:28:42.578] Q and A now. [00:28:43.660] But I do have some contact information for [00:28:45.670] you.
