<span style="color:#333F50;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#333F50;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">LearningExpress Library</span></a> is a vast collection of tests, tutorials, computer courses, nine unique learning centers and, eBooks! Usually, LearningExpress
resources are used online – in a library, at school, with a tutor, or at home. But sometimes, online usage isn’t available or convenient. Just because a learner doesn’t have a computer or internet access doesn’t mean they can’t practice algebra problems,
review a study guide for a professional exam, or read up on test-taking tips. eBooks available in LearningExpress can be downloaded and opened in Adobe Reader and once downloaded, they can be read offline or even printed. These are the same high quality print
publications many libraries purchase for their collections. So, you can reassure your patrons that they can begin/continue their learning with LearningExpress Library eBooks whether they’re connected or not.
