BizLibrary's Content Delivery System (CDS) is a flexible solution that allows organizations to access and deliver BizLibrary’s off-the-shelf training content through their own Learning Management System (LMS). With CDS, clients can easily integrate BizLibrary content into their existing learning environment, providing a seamless learning experience for employees.
Key Features of CDS:
- Flexible Content Access: Choose from a wide variety of BizLibrary titles to import into your LMS.
- Automated Integration Options: Supported Learning Management Systems can connect to BizLibrary via integrations.
- Manual Download Option: Clients can manually download SCORM files and upload them into their LMS if an integration is not available.
- Ongoing Content Updates: CDS ensures that content remains fresh and relevant by delivering updates as new or revised titles are released.
- Reporting in Your LMS: Since content is hosted in your LMS, usage and completion data remain visible and reportable within your system.
In this article, we will focus on managing CDS with a BizLibrary Unlimited content subscription.

Exporting Content for your 3rd-party LMS

Content Retirements
BizLibrary regularly reviews and updates our content library to ensure high-quality, relevant training. As part of this process, some courses may be retired. When a course is scheduled for retirement, BizLibrary will provide at least 90 days’ notice, giving your team time to adjust any assignments and allowing learners to complete in-progress training. Our team will also provide suggested alternatives making it easy to replace content in existing training programs. Review this video on Content Retirements for more information.
