Important notification Regarding LearningExpress Update
In January 2009 LearningExpress will release a new version of their existing product called LearningExpress Library Version 2.0. Version2.0 will include significant enhancements to the user interface, making navigation and search for content easier than ever. Most notably, Version 2.0 incorporates "Learning Centers" as a means to logically group related courses, tests, and e-books all in one place, based on various criteria such as grade level, stage of life, and carreer interests or goals. In addition to improved navigation, users will benefit from new search functionality, online help, improved account management, and additional topic-related content adding value for your patrons.
How will this release impact you and your library system?
Although the LearningExpress Library(TM) Version 2.0 is extremely easy-to-use, it does have a new look and feel that may require some getting used to for current users. LearningExpress is developing a full suite of training materials, including online presentations and demonstrations, getting-started guides and tutorials, comparison charts, and more to make the transition as effortless as possible. Once I receive notification that these materials are available I will be passing that onto staff. So stay tuned for more to come!
