MEMORANDUM

Date:     March 19, 2026
RE:         Career Cruising- Cancelation

Dear Colleagues:
As of April 1, 2026, Career Cruising will no longer be available on Livebrary.Com. The resource does not comply with WCAG 2.1, and many of the features are available in other Livebrary products.
Please take this time to assist your patrons in printing out their "My Plan" from Career Cruising.  My Plan can be printed after a patron logs in to their My Plan account. They can select which portions they wish to print and have a hard copy for themselves.

This is the perfect time to consider Peterson's Test & Career Prep and Brainfuse as substitutes for Career Cruising.  Both offer a variety of options for Career Cruising replacements. Brainfuse also offers live help, where your patrons can interact with a specialist to have their resume reviewed or practice their interview skills. Any questions, please open a ticket with the help desk. Please see the chart below for more information:
