LearningExpress, the career/test tutor database, supplied by
the West Virginia Library Commission, is transitioning to a new platform!
The newest version of LearningExpress Library™ (3.0) will
launch via the portal www.wvinfodepot.org
on Monday, February 24. The current version (2.0) will remain on the site until
May 1 when it will be retired. Both platforms will be available to users
between February 24 and May 1. After that date, only version 3.0 will be
available. It is important for libraries to alert their patrons to retrieve any
materials they've created on the old platform before it disappears on May 1.
LearningExpress Library™ 3.0 is new technology that has no
connection to LearningExpress 2.0. As such, it will not recognize existing
usernames and passwords from LearningExpress Library 2.0. All current users
will be required to register as new users to access the new platform.
Furthermore, any content saved in LearningExpress 2.0 accounts will not migrate
to LearningExpress Library 3.0.
New GED test and the TASC test prep materials are available
in the new LearningExpress Library™ 3.0 High School Equivalency Center.
Job & Career Accelerator, another LearningExpress
product, has also been updated. It's now one of nine specialty
"centers" available through the LearningExpress Library main page.
(Look for it on the All Centers drop-down menu.) And on the www.wvinfodepot.org portal, Job &
Career Accelerator 3 has been added. The same user names and
passwords can be used for LearningExpressLibrary and Job & Career
Accelerator. These usernames and password can be the same used for the
2.0 platform products.
As with LearningExpress Library, personal accounts, resumes,
cover letters, training records, and job searches created on the previous
platform will not transfer to the new version of Job & Career Accelerator.
Users will need to create new personal accounts. The old version of Job &
Career Accelerator will remain available to users until May 1, 2014.
