What new classes will you be adding to LYRASIS Learning?
As we continue to build content to add to LYRASIS Learning, our class development efforts will focus on 4 main categories:
Content Solution classes focus on topics such as licensing and negotiation, and scholarly communications.
Leadership and Emerging Trends classes focus on training to enhance participants’ understanding of leadership and management concepts and skills.
Preservation Solutions classes focus on caring for your analog or digital collections to facilitate long-term access to collections.
Technology classes focus on training to further your technical skills related to digital collections, or help you plan a digital project. Technology classes also cover new technologies and the relationships between libraries and technologies.
If my institution subscribes, can every staff member access the Learning Library and live webinars?
Yes, every staff member at a subscribing institution can access the Learning Library. If you are a library that is a part of a larger entity, such as a university, this includes library staff, not all university staff.

How many new classes are added each year?
We develop about 20 new classes each year. We also offer some classes more than once in a year, so subscribers have an opportunity to attend a live session and interact with instructors. In total, there are over 100 live, online sessions offered every year. Access to every live session is included in an annual LYRASIS Learning subscription.

The Learning Library is updated with new recordings monthly. Every class that occurred in the last month is added to the Learning Library, and everything in the Learning Library is included in a LYRASIS Learning subscription. There are no limitations on access to recorded classes for subscribers.
