The State Library provides subscriptions to two services that allow library staff to engage in professional development opportunities about leadership, management, communication, customer service, computers/software and technology skills!
Lynda.com includes a catalog of over 2,800 online courses presented in small chunks of content, allowing staff to take an entire course or zero in to specific content. Mobile apps for iOS and Android allow courses to be viewed on mobile devices offline.
SkillSoft’s catalog includes 450 courses, 1-2 page printable job aids for quick reference, and approximately 3,000 short videos about software and technology skills.
These services are free to library staff, and would be a great way to train for some of your tech competencies skills. You must create user accounts to access the courses. For more information, visit: http://statelibrary.ncdcr.gov/ld/education/selfpaced.htm
