The folks at Gale created a 2-minute video aimed at introducing parents and students to the In Context databases available through OSLIS. Feel free to include the video in parent communications or to ask teachers to do so, to post the link on your library and/or school website or social media accounts, etc.

If you write a short blurb related to the video, you might want to include your Gale login information, although please remember that logins cannot be posted on a public-facing website. Because I know you’re extra busy right now, below is a very short article that you can personalize, change, or ignore. ;-)

If you have questions, please ask. 

Thanks,
Jen

Parents, did you know that your child has access to a suite of Gale periodicals databases through OSLIS? Not sure what a periodicals database is? Basically, it’s a collection of thousands of articles and images from reference books, magazines, newspapers, and journals, and students can use the information for assignments, research papers, and personal interests. Watch this 2-minute video to find out more: http://bit.ly/2eTBDFH. To access the Gale databases, go to http://secondary.oslis.org/find-information.
