Gale has added great new functionality to their In Context databases – those products now integrate with Google Apps like Google Drive and Google Classroom. As part of our statewide database contract, Oregonians have access to the following products that have this new feature: Research In Context (middle school), Student Resources In Context (high school), Opposing Viewpoints In Context (MS & up), and U.S. History In Context (MS & up). To use it, simply access any In Context database and use the link at the top of the page to sign in to your Google account. Then download a Gale article, notes, or citations to Google Drive<http://blog.gale.com/google-incontext/> or instantly share to Google Classroom<http://blog.gale.com/gale-becomes-first-to-offer-google-classroom-integration-to-libraries-2/>. For a quick overview, read the tip sheet<http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/materials/tip-sheets/> called Gale to Google Path: Google Drive Integration. Or, participate in a free webinar<http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/webinars/> about any In Context database and see the feature in action. Better yet, come to the Gale session<https://sites.google.com/a/oasl.olaweb.org/oasl-2015-conference/saturday-am-sessions/friday-sessions> at the OASL Fall Conference<https://sites.google.com/a/oasl.olaweb.org/oasl-2015-conference/home>. According to a press release<http://news.cengage.com/library-research/gale-collaborates-with-google-to-channel-content-and-technology-directly-into-student-workflow-and-classroom-learning/>, Gale plans to add this functionality to most of their other databases over time. Please let folks know about this way to connect library resources to users’ workflow.
