Niche Academy for Academic Libraries

Niche Academy is a tool that allows your  library to help improve teaching and learning experiences and support student success.

As teaching and technologies converge, academic librarians are looking for tools that help them engage with students and faculty and contribute to the blended learning experience. Delivering the right content at the right time enables the library to become embedded in the teaching and learning process in a meaningful way. 

Niche’s easy-to-configure training helps integrate the library into the teaching process to provide engaging learning experiences. Niche embeds seamlessly into your website, helping to grow usage and discoverability, and enabling your library to deliver the right content at the right time. 

Librarians can use Niche’s LTI functionality to link to course content and tools provided by third-party systems, without requiring a learner to log in separately. Interactive elements let you measure and report learning outcomes, not just usage, and also provide meaningful individual feedback to learners and faculty. 

Niche empowers librarians to support the transition to online learning,  driving student engagement and success.

• Integrates with VLEs and your library collections and services.
• Making better use of static collections
