[OPLINLIST] Access to WebJunction remains available to Ohio library staff

Thu Jun 29 14:02:31 EDT 2017

Please excuse multiple postings...

We understand there may be some confusion about the status of WebJunction and Skillsoft. Ohio has been a OCLC's WebJunction partner for at least 12 years.  For the last two years, we have had two contracts with WebJunction, one with WebJunction<http://www.webjunction.org/> proper that provides webinars and resources on library topics.  Through WebJunction we were also able to negotiate a second statewide contract with Skillsoft<https://www.skillsoft.com/> for business and technical eLearning.  Low usage of Skillsoft by the Ohio library community coupled with our looming budget reduction, led to the decision to not renew the Skillsoft contract.

Access to WebJunction's self-paced courses<http://learn.webjunction.org/>, webinars<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/webjunction-experience-webinars.html>, blended learning<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/webjunction-experience-blended-learning.html>, collection of resources<http://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics.html>, and  projects<http://www.webjunction.org/wj-projects.html> remains available to Ohio library staff.  If you haven't explored WebJunction lately, you may be surprised at the breadth and depth of resources in the following topics:
