TO HELP PEOPLE FIND EXISTING LEARNING RESOURCES
Why We Created LibrarySkills.io
There are lots of great resources that people have created and shared
TO PROVIDE LEARNING PATHWAYS
Providing ways to learn all the interlinked skills for getting things done

So people can share the resources/pathways that worked for them
