The Skill Series
Each month, we feature educational opportunities and services designed to elevate your life.
As summer fades and new routines begin, it's the perfect time to expand your knowledge, explore new interests, and advance your education or career. We're here to help. Use our Gale Databases for researching business or homework projects, learn a new language with Pronunciator, or enjoy a wide array of global publications, including The Economist, Rolling Stone, USA Today, and The Guardian through PressReader. For music enthusiasts, Rock’s Backpages offers a deeper exploration into music journalism. You can also take some time to finally learn about AI with two new courses in our Digital Skill Building Pathways.
