New Continuous Learning Tool Now Available-Lynda.com
|
The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library is pleased to announce that a new online learning tool will soon be available on the library's website.
Lynda.com offers more than 6,000 courses, ranging from computer programming to project management, including instruction on various computer software, programming languages, and business topics. The video courses are taught by industry experts and are designed for any skill level.
The Ohio Library Council (OLC) and the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN) announced that through an agreement with
Lynda.com, a division of LinkedIn, Ohioans will gain free access to the online courses from
Lynda.com with a valid Ohio library card. The agreement is the first-of-its-kind in the nation between LinkedIn and a statewide system of public libraries.
“Normally, using
Lynda.com requires a paid subscription, but as an Ohio library cardholder, anyone can now access
Lynda.com video courses from any computer with an internet connection simply by entering their library card number and 4-digit PIN,” said Don Yarman, Executive Director, OPLIN. “The OPLIN Board chose to invest in this online learning platform because it gives Ohio’s public libraries another critical tool to cultivate the state’s workforce and it’s strongly aligned with the skills needed for Ohio’s list of in-demand jobs.”
“Technology and automation are changing the nature of work at a rapid pace,” said Ryan Burgess, Director of the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation. “We’re excited to see Ohio libraries partnering with LinkedIn to provide all Ohioans with online continuous learning resources to prepare for the jobs of today and tomorrow.”
