How Do I Access LearningExpress Library?

There are plenty of ways you can access LearningExpress Library as a permitted user.

• Check your state agency's intranet for online training links. If you don't see a link to LearningExpress, ask the webmaster to add one. Remember: this resource is available to your agency at no charge.
   
• Visit your local library's website! Nearly 700 public and academic libraries across the state provide access to the TexShare Databases, including LearningExpress. Look for a link. You may need either a library card barcode ID or a library-specific TexShare login that your library can provide to you.
   
• Contact us at texshare@tsl.texas.gov. You'll need to have an email address recognizable as a state goverment agency.
