Don't Waste Your Money! Use EBRPL's Digital Library

May 07, 2024 12:08PM ● By Lauren Pope
Did you know that EBRPL has a huge suite of digital offerings?

Why pay for LinkedIn Learning or Udemy courses when you can access them for free with only your library card?

We've rounded up some of the top learning portals available to you through EBRPL. 

LinkedIn Learning 


LinkedIn Learning is "The only skills development platform built on insights from 1 billion professionals on LinkedIn." 

It allows you to:

Develop critical skills with content & experiences as dynamic as the world we live in

Get career guidance at scale with insights from 1 billion careers on LinkedIn

Measure impact on personal career growth or business priorities

If you were to buy this on your own, it would run you about $40 a month, but with your library card you get access to the full LinkedIn Learning library...for free!

One important thing to note is that you'll be asked for your library card number and PIN.

Don't worry! The PIN is just the password that you use to access EBRPL's online system. 

Udemy

 

Udemy offers classes in everything from game design to project management to learning a new language. Udemy claims to have "All the skills you need in one place"

From critical skills to technical topics, Udemy supports your professional development.

 

 



 

Cell-Ed


With Cell-Ed, your cell phone becomes your teacher. While anyone can use it, it is particularly beneficial for English Language Learners. Teachers, this is a great thing to suggest to the parents of recently arrived students!

Work Ready:  Gain key skills from applying for a job to communicating effectively at work.

This one is for all of the students in your life. Got a homework problem that mom and dad just can't figure out? Log on to Homework Louisiana and let the expert tutors answer their questions! Students can input the question directly and get live support or work through a learning library to try to answer it themselves.  

They can also submit their essays to get advice before turning them in for grading.
