This article is just a brief tip for anyone wanting to boost their skills in Adobe Captivate, video editing, graphic design or any other software or learning theory. Did you know that you can access LinkedIn’s online learning library Lynda.com free of charge if you’re a member of a public library?
Simply check with your local library to see if they provide this service for their patrons. Oftentimes you just need to become a member of the individual library, obtain a library card and you’re good to go. Depending on your library you might have to provide identity documents beforehand, in order to complete your library registration.
Once you’ve got your library card number and pin you should be able to login directly via a link on your library’s eResources website. Alternatively you can go directly to Lynda.com, click on sign in (not sign up) and click on the link “Sign in with your organisation portal” where you need to enter your library’s web address. This will bring you to a screen asking you to enter your library card and pin. You now have unlimited access to all of Lynda.com’s training courses. Just keep in mind that not all libraries enable you to login via Lynda.com’s mobile apps – in this case you’ll have to access Lynda.com’s resources via your web browser only.
Hope this has helped some of you wanting to skill up via the online training platform Lynda.com Have you got any other interesting tips and tricks that might help eLearning Designers get better at what they do?

My local library provides free access to Lynda.com. Good tip! Thanks.
Great stuff! You should certainly take advantage of your library’s offer!
It would also be beneficial if more employers would offer a free LinkedIn Learning membership to their employees! Many universities already offer this to their students.
You may ignore it but Lynda.com is English. There is a French concurrent (forgot the name), maybe French countries have libraries offering that service. There is NO Dutch alternative. Probably there is a Chinese site as well for Chinese Libraries. Why do English speaking people think that the whole world needs to use English?
Germans normally have no problem with English, I answer them in English but accept questions in German. French users is something totally different, they feel excluded on this forum and that is also valid for French speaking Belgians.
I got insulted several times when in rare occasions I posted answers in Dutch or French to users because it is their native language.
It is easy to say: write in two (three) languages, it is a lot more time consuming. I had a blog in Dutch, another in French but couldn’t ‘t keep up with three blog sites.
I get access to LinkedIn Learning\Lynda.com through my employer. Great resource.
Great you’re getting access through your employer! It certainly is a great resources to learn new software packages. Just for coding (HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc.) I prefer TeamTreehouse.com.
I’ll check them out.
