With BPL Learning Academy, we can now offer more than a flat page of instructions. You are able to access full video tutorials on how to use many of our online services. For example, if you have never used our e-books or e-audiobooks before, see our e-books tutorials. You could also get the lowdown on online learning with LinkedIn Learning & Lynda.com.
If we have a library subscription, there will be a link from within the tutorial to the relevant resource, so you can get started straight away.
In addition to these short tutorials, our creative staff now have somewhere to display more interactive content. Such items as online Storytimes, kids’ activities and advice on What to Read Next.
This content will grow as time goes on. If you can think of any topics or resources you would like to see turned into an online tutorial, video or podcast please let us know.
