Director's Corner by Jeff Winkle
|
I want to highlight a fantastic new learning tool with thousands of courses teaching business and technology skills like computer programming, digital marketing, web design, data analysis and how to use almost any type of software you can think of. It’s an amazing service, but it’s not cheap. A subscription can cost an individual as much as $30 a month. But now, you can access
Lynda.com for free with your Findlay-Hancock County Public Library card.
Now owned by LinkedIn,
Lynda.com is a massive collection of more than 12,000 online video courses led by industry experts and designed for any skill level. For example, if you wanted to learn more about how to use Microsoft Excel, there are thousands of video courses on this software. Some cover advanced topics, like how to use data validation tools, while others aim to help beginners use basic Excel functions. In short, if you want to learn how to do something on the computer,
Lynda.com can show you how to do it.
Lynda.com also provides thousands of courses on business skills including marketing, project management, accounting, business management, and leadership. There are more than 2,000 courses on how to start a business ranging from finding and testing your business idea to business law for managers.
The volume of courses may seem overwhelming, but all of the content is searchable and organized by subject, skill level and duration (some videos are quick; other courses may take a few hours to complete). There are even learning paths that package courses for a specific role or job. Some of the learning paths include how to become a small business owner, project manager, IT security specialist or a bookkeeper.
You can access Lynda.com at the library or from your kitchen table with an internet connection. You just need your library card number and four-digit PIN. Findlay-Hancock County Public Library patrons with active library cards can access the site using this link
https://www.lynda.com/portal/sip?org=findlaylibrary.org .
We are excited to offer Lynda.com. Pick a subject and start learning – the possibilities are endless. If you have any questions about Lynda.com, please feel free to give us a call or stop by the reference desk during your next visit to the library.
