We implemented it at my university. It's a solid resource. As I recall, there was some pushback initially against some user information concerns early on; but I don't recall what happened as a result of those. My university wanted the resource regardless, so we implemented it. We have had some issues with setting up single sign-on and they do not allow you to embed videos into web pages except in a very limited fashion, which has been problematic for us - but I imagine may not be an issue for a public library (depending on how you want to use it).

Hello everyone.
I am going through the exploration process for determining whether or not LinkedIn Learning is right for my public library system. I am relatively new to the field, and I have done quite a bit of reading on the subject, but there is nothing like talking to other colleagues and experts in the field. Are there any specific pros/cons or bits of information you know/wish you had known when reviewing the service? Thank you in advance for your help.
With appreciation.
