Hi Folks,

[cid:image004.jpg at 01DA1262.F92F1BC0]All Oregon libraries can provide access to a suite of databases from Gale as part of the State Library's Statewide Database Licensing Program<https://www.oregon.gov/library/libraries/pages/databases.aspx>, and central K-12 access is through the Find Information (elem<https://elementary.oslis.org/find-information>, sec<https://secondary.oslis.org/find-information>) on OSLIS. Why did I bring that up? Because there is a new way to access content from a specific database that is available statewide.

Content from National Geographic Kids (NGK) is now integrated into Gale In Context (GIC): Elementary to simplify access and increase student engagement for elementary learners. National Geographic Kids is still available as stand-alone database. However, now all of NGK's content is also available in GIC: Elementary.

There are a few ways to find NGK content in GIC: Elementary. The easiest approach is to click on the Pictures, Videos, or Magazines tab at the top of the GIC: Elementary homepage. Note that while Books is a tab option, NGK books are not included in that tab for technical reasons that relate to restrictions National Geographic has on its content. However, all NGK content types, including books, are discoverable in the results of basic and advanced searches and on topic pages. For details and supporting screenshots, see Gale's integration tip sheet<https://support.gale.com/doc/ngk-kib-tips>.

Want a bit more information? Read this Gale blog post<https://blog.gale.com/two-worlds-collide-combining-the-power-of-gale-in-context-elementary-and-national-geographic-kids/>, or register<https://cengage.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QdYrSHTmSKG8AX1oh5Uw0g#/registration> to watch a 15-minute webinar about the integration (11/9 at 11:00 am). The recording will be available a few days later; scroll to about the middle of this webpage<https://support.gale.com/training/webinars/#recorded> to find Gale webinar recordings.

As always, if you have questions, please ask.

Cheers,
Jen
