Farewell to Reference USA, Welcome LearningExpress

It's a time for change at the Library.  Our subscription to the online business resource Reference USA ended today and we have decided not to renew, but through the Electronic Library for Minnesota provided by Minitex, we have added a new online resource, LearningExpress.

LearningExpress provides guides and tutorials to prepare for professional exams and important placement tests, improve fundamental academic skills, become a U.S. citizen, or ensure a top score on school entrance exams. Create a free LearningExpress account to track your progress through tutorials for the NCLEX, TEAS, ASVAB, GRE, Accuplacer, and a wide variety of additional occupational exams. 

One of the features of Reference USA was a connection to job ads.  LearningExpress, also has this feature in the Job and Career Accelerator section.  Once in that section, choose the Resources dropdown, and select Job and Career Accelerator.  In the left column, click on “Find a Job and More”.  At this point, you would need log in to your free LearningExpress account. If you are looking for a job, the Job and Career Accelerator section has tons of helpful features for writing resumes and cover letters and planning your career.

Direct links to the various test preparation tutorials have been added to appropriate library subject guides under the Multimedia tab.  If you have questions, staff at the Reference Desk would be glad to help you.
