Staff Academy resources

Self-paced learning

The Multnomah County Library Staff Academy is a great first stop for self-paced learning about work at MCL.

The academy includes tutorials on:

  • Circulation, materials movement and information services topics
  • Equity and inclusion
  • Safety
  • Technology
  • Training for supervisors and for new employees
  • And more

Accessing the academy

If you have never used Niche Academy (the platform for the MCL Staff Academy) before, you will need to create a login: 

  1. Access the MCL Staff Academy
  2. Use your MCL email address and create a password. The password does not have to be the same as your network password, and will not change when your network password changes.
  3. If you need help signing up, or if you have other support needs for the MCL Staff Academy, contact Learning and Organizational Development (lib-learning-and-OD@multco.us) Once you have signed up, you can find the MCL Staff Academy at https://my.nicheacademy.com/mulcolib-staff

Workday training and the MCL Staff Academy

Some library-specific Workday training includes a link to the MCL Staff Academy. When you sign up for a course in Workday that sends you to the Staff Academy, you should check back in Workday once you’ve finished the Staff Academy tutorial - you may need to acknowledge the completion in Workday in order to finish the course.

 

  1. Go back to the course in Workday by clicking on the Resume Course button.
