We've been using the Electronic Resources License for a few years now. It has been a great help to new employees in our operations department and to refresh knowledge for the rest of us. Our retail admin team and customer service area also use some of the courses. The cost is very minimal, even for a larger institution of our size.

FAQs

There is no limit on who can use the License within your organization. However, you may not transfer or disseminate any of the materials to a third-party.

If the user doesn't already have a valid EPCOR login, he/she can create one by clicking "Don't have an account?" at my.epcor.org. Once the account has been validated, the user will have access to your License. To add 5 or more users to your account, please send [email protected] an Excel file containing each person’s Name, Title and Email address. EPCOR Member Support will create the User Logins for you and return the file back to you containing their Login information.

Refer to the Getting Started document for steps on how to access one publication or course at a time or how to access all curriculums and recommended tools/publications. Once you have completed your registration to the Electronic Resource License – Complete Library in the store, you will have access to all the curriculums and recommended tools/publications via our Learning Management System (LMS) at https://www.pathlms.com/epcor.

No, each individual must have a valid EPCOR user name & Password to register for the tools, publications or courses included in the License. If a login is needed, please follow the steps listed above to create an account for the user.

It is best that each user accesses the License under their own unique Login for many reasons. First, the on-demand courses included in the License are designed for a single user. By signing in with their unique Login each user will be able to pause courses and then pick up where they left off. Secondly, it allows the user to keep track of their learning progress and completed courses. Also, only one certificate of completion can be awarded to each user per course.

Contact your IT Department and ask for the following websites to be whitelisted: For audio/video presentations, unblock wistia.com, for slide-only presentations with no audio or video, unblock filestack.com. All pop-up blockers and privacy software blockers should also be turned off.

Some on-demand courses are designed to have all objects and pop-ups viewed before the user can move forward. Please verify that you have viewed and completed all required assignments before you try to advance forward in the course. You might also check to make sure pop-up blockers are disabled.

When you are logged into the Learning Management System (LMS) site (https://production.pathlms.io/epcor), click on your name in the upper right-hand corner of the webpage. Under My Activity, you will see your Purchased Content, Courses and External activity. Under the Courses tab, you will see your course progress.

Contact Member Support at [email protected] for a list of completed courses for any staff at your organization.

There are more than 40 on-demand training courses and more than 60 publications/tools included in the Electronic Resource License. New courses and publications/tools will be added throughout the year and announced via e-mail or our News You Can Use e-newsletter.

Courses and Publications are listed individually for those wanting to access a tool, publication or course one at a time. However, in 2020, EPCOR arranged all courses within the “Electronic Resource License - Complete Library” by curriculum’s to easily assign courses to staff. Recommended publications for each curriculum were also added.

On-demand courses are designed for the user to complete at their own pace. Most courses take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to complete when attempted in one sitting. On-demand lectures normally range from 30 minutes to one hour, and series courses should only take 15-20 minutes.

Your Electronic Resources License subscription now automatically renews, with the current year’s courses and publications being available January 1 - December 31 of each year. We will automatically renew your License and bill you annually until you notify us in writing that you would like to cancel your subscription. Refer to Auto-Renew FAQs for additional information

Auto-Renew FAQs

If your institution purchased the License in 2020 or later, the License will be automatically renewed. If you have questions about this please review the questions below.
