that Kids InfoBits is a Gale database specifically designed for students in grades K thru 5. The Kids InfoBits interface has been dramatically redesigned. While users can still drill down by topic or search by keywords to find information, the new interface
is more modern and includes more features, like the ability to translate articles into 12 different languages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">The update is now live.
</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Links to Kids InfoBits on your website and on OSLIS now lead to the new version.
<b> </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Because of the design layout, you only see half of the topic options on the Kids InfoBits homepage. From the homepage, click on the orange arrow to the left to see the other half.
</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">That’s only of note if students are using the pictures to drill down by topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">For those who want to learn about or promote the new Kids InfoBits, there are many resources.
<b>Remember to update the database icon on your library website.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
