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.

I'm the Webmaster of my agency's intranet... How do I add LearningExpress?

Contact TexShare at texshare@tsl.texas.gov. We'll provide you with everything you need to create a LearningExpress portal on your intranet, including links, images, and descriptions. Please include a full signature line so we'll know your agency and job title.


How is LearningExpress Library better than free  training on the Internet?

Start by creating your own personal profile. From there, LearningExpress will help you track which courses and tutorials you've taken; how you've scored on practice tests; and even recommend the best next steps for your professional goals.
