Starting August 1, the terms of LibraryLinkNJ’s contract with Lynda.com are changing.
Previously, we’ve been able to offer our Lynda.com licenses to colleagues on a monthly rolling basis. Now, we need to offer those licenses to individual staff members at member libraries on a fixed & permanent basis for the remainder of our contract with Lynda.com
We’re holding a lottery to assign licenses. If you win a license, it will be yours until the conclusion of our contract with Lynda.com in April 2019.
To distribute the licenses equitably among staff at our member libraries, we’ll use a lottery process, taking registrations from up to 60 colleagues and then selecting 29 entrants using a randomizer.
The lottery will open on August 1 and will close on August 14, or when we receive 60 lottery registrations, whichever occurs first. We’ll complete the lottery process and inform winning colleagues by August 20.
The estimated timeframe for winning colleagues’ use of their individual Lynda.com license will be September 4, 2018 - April 15, 2019.
