From OPLIN

At this point, more than half of Ohio's libraries have been migrated from Lynda.com to LinkedIn Learning for Library (LiLL), and we've learned a few things over the week.
 
LinkedIn previously told us that migrations begin at 9:00 a.m. and last about two hours; we've been seeing that they can start much later in the day, and last longer than indicated. The best way for a library to track the change is to keep checking their existing Lynda portal link. When the migration is done, the Lynda portal will redirect to https://www.lynda.com/upgrade/completed, and the "Get Started" button will send users to your new LinkedIn Learning login page.
 
LinkedIn told me today that it can take 24-48 hours after migration for user results to fully populate. (No one has reported that to us yet, but if you log into LinkedIn Learning and your learning history is empty, wait a couple days to see if it appears.) We've also learned that if someone had set up their new account in LiLL prior to migration, that won't prevent the Lynda history from being merged in, so that's nice.
 
Getting into LiLL directly from a library's website is pretty straightforward, but alternative paths—a Google search, a MARC record loaded in the catalog, the general LinkedIn Learning page, or the LinkedIn Learning app—are more twisted. In that case, patrons are prompted to "Enter your Library ID." There's really no way for patrons to guess at that. It's going to be your library's federal identification number, the "oh####" that is at the end of your LiLL link. I'm hopeful that that process will get more smooth, but right now it's just not. It might be best to put instructions on your website to help patrons use the app.
 
It's been a long project. Hang tight—we're almost through it.
