Create a Skillsoft Web Catalog

If your organization provides learning content from Skillsoft, catalog administrators can add a Web Catalog to enable LMS users to access it. Existing Web Catalogs are listed in the Web Catalogs page.

For each Web Catalog it shows:

• The endpoint (Skillsoft server)
• The date that the Skillsoft catalog was last updated
• The number of courses in the catalog 

After adding a new Web Catalog, you must configure its access permissions so that learners can see it in the LMS. 

To add a Web Catalog

1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Web Catalogs. The Web Catalogs page opens.
2. Click + Add Skillsoft Web catalog. The Add Web Catalog page opens.
3. Enter a name for the Web Catalog. This is the name learners see in the Catalog Browser and Catalog Search results.
4. Enter the Endpoint. This is the URL of the Skillsoft server providing the catalog information.
5. Enter your organization's Skillsoft Customer ID.
6. Enter the Shared Secret provided by Skillsoft for your organization's account.
7. Select the check box if you want to include additional Skillsoft course information in standard searches.
