Customer Reviews

"Julie does a great job of checking with people for understanding frequently throughout the training. She keeps the group together and helped us work as a team." Jan

"I just want to thank you again for the excellent training. We had a staff meeting shortly after your visit and everyone was raving about all the things they learned especailly how beneficial Books and authors are to us."  Judy

"Thanks so much for the great webinar today!  I learned some useful information about Gale products and also gained a better idea about how to market my library and reach my target audiences."  Rachel

“The instructor was very, very easy to understand. Julie would go thru features and explain them well and then would mention them over and over again--so you can remember the information. The exercises were extremely helpful—even though I was scared about getting them. Also Julie would go over the information to make sure you understand the answers. This as a great class!!!!!!! I'm glad I came to see the vast resources Gale offers.”  Jennifer

“Julie was FABULOUS!!! She certainly had real-life examples of how to use this resource and why since she was a librarian. I will definitely make sure that every teacher and the upper grade students (elementary) in my buildings will know how to use this.” Sandy

“Ms. Pepera's presentation was very informative. She is excited about what she is doing and enjoys sharing the information. Great presentation! Thank you.” Dathinia 

“Wonderful training! Julie did a terrific job and I learned so much. Thanks for an hour extremely well-spent.” 

“Julie was great! I am going to talk to my administration about what I learned and ways to implement it tomorrow.” Claudio

“Thank you for your informative presentation. Yes, I was able to share so far with one teacher. She is our debate coach and I shared with her the Opposing Viewpoint. Our students won first place in a recent completion and I'm hoping that I had a little to do with me.” Lenora 

“You were so great!  You are a great teacher.  They loved our professional development!  I know Lynne was very pleased with your training and they were all very impressed by your knowledge and your patience with everyone.  It was fun and very informative.  I loved the scavenger hunt assignments you had for them to complete.  It was great.” Irene

"Thank you so, so, so very much for your participation in the training last week on the 11^th & 12^th.  You presence was a huge success and I really appreciate all the support you gave.  The response to the training has been overwhelming – literally”….”All of my training objectives were met and this would not have been possible without your participation, support and assistant. Also, I have gotten at least 4 requests to sign up for Ed2Go classes (yep . . .already).” Juree 

“Many thanks for an excellent session earlier. It was truly one of the best I've attended. You touched on exactly the points we needed extra guidance with, and your explanations were extremely succinct. Especially helpful to include your experiences as a librarian at a community college!”  Susan 

"I can’t thank you enough for your time this week working with libraries in Oregon on using the full spectrum of resources available on the Gale databases. Your morning introductory session was just the right blend of information for sending librarians back to their patrons. The afternoon session was great fun and provided the opportunity for the librarians to go back to their libraries with something they could change with students or patrons “tomorrow”. It was also great fun to get to know you a little bit, Gale really seems to have a gift for hiring interesting and fun people. I’m working on getting our late April sessions organized and I know they will be every bit as good as those you presented this week."  MaryKay 

"Thank you sooooo much – you were great this morning! I was just thrilled we connected and everything worked so well. I have already had much positive feedback and several teachers are interested in bringing classes to the lab for a short instruction time followed by working on a project. Many of our staff were surprised at the wonderful things available to our students through Gale so I believe we accomplished our goal!"  Diana 

"Thank you so much for your presentation on marketing and training strategies to the Alabama Virtual Reference Library board today. Your powerpoint was right on target. The statistics and facts you showed really got them interested from the outset and engendered a lively and engaged conversation with our customer. Your ideas and enthusiasm made a breakthrough with this group which has been hard to read in past encounters. Thank you for your time, your professional expertise and the excitement you brought to this customer."  Helen 

"I just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic session you put on at the OASL Conference in Bend. Besides all the kudos we heard at the session, I had folks coming up to me Friday afternoon and Saturday telling me how much they got out of our training. One person told me her whole table at lunch was talking about it, and somebody at the table said that it was the best training from a “national program” they had ever received. Like I said to you on Friday, the other Gale trainings I’ve gone to have always been good, but yours was above and beyond. The fact that your have been a working librarian showed in your approach to the session and in the tips your highlighted."  Jen 

"Kudos to Julie for providing an engaging and informative breakout session for our FCPS librarians. I heard so many people comment on how much they got out of Julie’s presentation and one of our librarians that I saw today already created a webpage highlighting their Gale resources! They plan on using this landing page with all of the 9^th grade students who will visit the library to work on Science Fair research. I even heard a librarian who has been in the county for many years say that the session was fabulous. It really doesn’t get much better than that!"  Jennifer 

"Thank you for taking the time today to show me some of the great features in the InContext interface, and the GREAT uses for the PowerSearch. I must confess that I am a convert!!!! I’m meeting with librarians from several of the LEECA school districts on Wednesday, and will be showing them some of the InContext features. Your training session really helped prepare me for that, too." Paul
