LinkedIn has taken another step toward its goal of becoming the primary link between professionals and the knowledge they need for their careers.

On Wednesday, LinkedIn introduced a new tool for editing and sharing slides from its SlideShare platform, a collection of about 18 million professionally-related slideshows and videos. The tool, called “Clipping,” is free and lets users more easily organize slides for themselves, for example, when doing research, and makes it simpler to share individual slides or whole decks through LinkedIn, social media sites or email. “Influencers” on LinkedIn can also use the tool to highlight their most popular or shareable slides, which can help build their identity as an expert. To improve credibility on the platform, the Mountain View, Calif.-based professional network said it has more deeply integrated SlideShare content with users’ LinkedIn profiles.
