Creating Highlights or Notes on a Gale Article
Students and Educators can highlight information and take notes on a Gale article. After all highlights and notes have been created, the article with these highlights and notes can be saved, downloaded, or printed. To do this, please follow these instructions:
1. Once you enter a Gale Database, click on the 'Sign in with Microsoft' icon in the upper right-hand side and enter your Microsoft log in (your username includes @sau19.org at the end of it and the password is your normal computer password). If you are already logged into Microsoft on the computer, it will auto log you in after clicking the sign in with Microsoft button.
2. Open the Gale article you wish to highlight and take notes on.
3. At first you will only see the overview of the article so you will need to click the 'Read More' button to view the full article and to highlight or take notes.
5. Click the color you want for the highlight and enter the notes you wish to make into the text box. Then click on 'Save' to save your notes. If you just want to highlight the text, chose the color you want and then click 'Save' without entering any information in the text box.
6. To see all the highlights and notes you have created, click on the 'Highlight And Notes' button in the upper right-hand corner of the article. If you cannot see all the highlights and notes, click on 'View All Highlights and Notes'.
Saving, Downloading, or Printing Highlights or Notes Made on a Gale Article
To save, download, or print your highlights or notes, please follow these directions:
Click on the icon for the method you wish to follow:
Google Drive:
You will not be able to use the Google Drive option to save your notes. It will give you an 'Access Blocked' error. Please use the Microsoft OneDrive option instead.
Microsoft OneDrive: (*Preferred Method)
Click the Microsoft OneDrive icon and if prompted, enter your Microsoft log in information. If you are already logged in, you will not need to repeat this step. You will receive a confirmation that the highlights and notes are being sent. Click 'OK'.
To view the article with your highlights and notes, log into Microsoft 360 by going to office.com and logging in using your computer username@sau19.org and your normal computer password. Then click on the menu icon (array of 9 dots) and select 'OneDrive' from the menu.
The article will save as the article title so once you are in your OneDrive, you can use the search bar to search for the article and then double click on the article to view it.
This will include the full article with your highlights and the notes will appear at the end of the article.
Email:
If you are a grade 5-12 student, you can choose to email the article with highlights and notes to your school email. Click on the email icon (envelope). Enter your school email in the 'To' text field (computer username@sau19.org) and then click on 'Send'. If a teacher requests that you send the highlights and notes to them, you can also enter their email address. Be sure to separate each email with a semicolon.
Download:
If you click the download icon, this will download the article with the highlights and notes. This option can be used on a personal device since you can choose a location to save it to. If using a school device, this will only temporarily save and will not be on the device once you log out.
Print:
If you click on the 'Print' icon, you can then select the printer to send the highlights and notes to and then print them. This will include the full article with your highlights and the notes will appear at the end of the article.
