LinkedIn Learning users, who are also mutual customers of getAbstract, will be able to directly access the getAbstract library through the LinkedIn Learning platform, providing a better, more efficient experience for customers and learners. Learners will not have to switch between sites or worry about multiple logins when accessing content from the two knowledge providers, eliminating overhead and reducing web page shuffling.
