Library Users Love lynda.com From Home

In case you missed the story on ArlNow.com - take a look.

Yep, we're feeling the love - Since March 1, 2015, when remote access became available, we've racked up more users than sessions than in all of last year. Peter's story is also a great reminder that our library subscription, with loads of video tutorials, are also there for staff  to use.

lynda.com has over 3000 courses (as well as some quick articles) but it's NOT just for technology fiends. You can learn a new skill, or maybe follow your bliss. If you browse through the "Playlist Center" there are curated playlists to help you get started in any of their subjects.

Some courses you might not have expected to find:

•  Developing Resourcefulness
•  Improving Your Memory
•  Grant Writing for Education

For more creative types:

• Photography 101
• Getting Pro Results from a Compact Camera
• Use Dropbox Carousel to Share Your Travel Photos
•  …You can learn how to DJ …Or just…How to burn your iTunes music to a CD.

Me, I think I'm going to put a note on my calendar to remind me to visit our lynda.com site for the  "Weekly Office Workshop - get a new Microsoft Office tip every Tuesday. Take a five-minute break to improve your productivity and efficiency. "  [cuz I'm old enough to remember the first versions of Office!]

So get out your library card and Login to the Library's lynda.com. Locate any of the courses mentioned here by searching the title in their site searchbox.  Go on, learn something in your PJ's tonight.

Any questions?  let me know!
