Hi, 

LearningExpress Library (and the new related platform, PrepSTEP for High Schools) is one of the statewide databases available to all Oregonians. It’s focused on resources to help users prepare for major tests (SAT, AP, etc.), decide on careers, get caught up on basic skills like reading and math, and more. Content is most relevant for MS and HS. K-12 access is through the Find Information page on OSLIS. 

The State Library is coordinating with an EBSCO trainer to offer an Oregon-specific webinar about Job & Career Accelerator on February 23^rd at 2 pm Pacific. Job & Career Accelerator is the center (section) in LearningExpress Library / PrepSTEP for HS that helps users create resumes, prepare for interviews, explore careers, and more. Library staff, classroom teachers, counselors, and other interested staff are welcome to register.

And, as always, you can explore free monthly webinars offered by Gale and LearningExpress. For the latter, search for “learningexpress” or “job & career” or “prepstep” (no quotes).  

Thanks,
Jen
