<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="blue" face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">After reading the Nov/Dec 2009
issue of <i><span style="font-style: italic;">Knowledge Quest</span></i>,
a journal from AASL, I was impressed with the great articles and wanted
to share that info with folks. Because the journal is included in
Gale's databases, I was able to find it by using the Browse
Publications feature in PowerSearch. <br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="blue" face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">Many Gale databases have the Browse Publications feature in the top toolbar. If it's not an option, click on Change Databases and you will be directed to the common menu that represents all of the statewide databases. Do an "All Cross-Searchable Products" search, and you will wind up in the PowerSearch interface. <br></span></font></p><span class="bolding"><font color="blue" face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">Recall
that you can bookmark an article or search results by clicking on the
yellow star or blue "i" in a circle, often found at the top right or
top left of the page. Below is the Gale bookmark to the Nov/Dec 2009
issue of <span style="font-style: italic;">Knowledge Quest</span>.</span></font></span><i><font color="blue" face="Calibri"><span style="color: blue; font-style: italic; font-family: Calibri;"></span></font></i><font color="blue" face="Calibri"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;"> </span></font><span class="bolding"><font color="blue" face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">If it requires a password, it should be "oslis" without the quotes.</span></font></span><font color="blue" face="Calibri"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;"></span></font>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="blue" face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">Gale recognizes that
sometimes their URLs for saved articles and searches can be unwieldy, so they
have an application to convert them to “tiny” URLs. When I used the feature,
the above URL became this: <a title="http://www.tinygaleurl.com/?iqhr8v" href="http://www.tinygaleurl.com/?iqhr8v" target="_blank" defaultcontextmenu="yes">http://www.tinygaleurl.com?iqhr8v</a>.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="blue" face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">You can email the
URLs (original or tiny), post them in pathfinders, add them to student reading
assignment pages, and more. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="blue" face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">The Tiny URL app can
be accessed on Gale’s support page (their regular page, not the one geared
towards Oregon
libraries), <a title="http://support.gale.com/gale/index.html" href="http://support.gale.com/gale/index.html" target="_blank" defaultcontextmenu="yes">http://support.gale.com/gale/index.html</a>,
or directly at <a title="http://www.tinygaleurl.com/" href="http://www.tinygaleurl.com/" target="_blank" defaultcontextmenu="yes">http://www.tinygaleurl.com/</a>.</span></font></p>

The URLs might need to be pasted into a browser. </span><br><br><br>Jennifer Maurer<br>School Library Consultant<br>Library Development<br>Oregon State Library<br>250 Winter Street NE<br>Salem, OR 97301-3950<br>503-378-5011<br>jennifer.maurer@state.or.us<br><br> <br></body></html>
