New year, new skills with LinkedIn Learning
03/01/2023
One of the best things about working in Library Services – aside from our wonderful customers – is that every day is a learning day. But you don’t have to become a librarian to experience this special joy…all you need to do is check out the many courses and videos on LinkedIn Learning.
Make it your New Year’s resolution to take a closer look. As this short video demonstrates, it doesn’t even have to take up much time in your busy lives.
From business topics, professional and career development, and improving how you use software packages, to taking up new leisure activities such as learning a musical instrument, becoming a better photographer, drawing and graphic design – LinkedIn Learning has something for everyone.
