Try the Online Learning Service Udemy for School or Career

April 26, 2021 — What would you call an online learning academy designed just for you? 

How about Udemy – YOU-d’mee – as in “Academy of You.”

That’s the name Gale, a provider of online resources for education, lifelong learning and academic research calls its online learning system now offered for library cardholders. (It replaces Lynda.com.)

“Gale Presents: Udemy” is a video tutorial platform for adults who want to grow their work-related skills or further develop a personal interest. Includes 6,000-plus on-demand video courses in multiple languages across categories in business, technology, design, and more.

Major course categories include cloud computing, data science, design, development, finance and accounting, human resources, IT operations, leadership and management, marketing, office productivity, personal development, project management and operations, and sales.

Did you know, on average, people change jobs 12 times in their lifetime?  This makes it essential for you to continuously build new skills, ensuring that you’re ready when a new opportunity comes your way. Helping you stay ahead of the curve is just one of the many reasons our library offers access to Gale Presents: Udemy.
