Why is the change happening?
LinkedIn acquired Lynda.com in 2015, and has slowly been transitioning the service and its feature to their own platform and brand.
What changes can I expect?
- All of your favourite courses are still available.
- Users now have access to a library of over 16,000 courses in 7 different languages (English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin, and Portuguese).
- An updated, easier to use interface
- Your course history will move with you, it is tied to your library card.
- If you get a new library card your history from your old card won't be available when you login with your new card.
Do I need to have a LinkedIn account to use LinkedIn Learning for Libraries?
- No, patrons only need a library card number and PIN to access content.
