Thread: You may have free access to a cool learning resource

    You may have free access to a cool learning resource

    When I was living in Victoria, and was a member of the Victoria Public Library, I discovered that through the library I also had free access to Lynda.com, a video training site that has training on MANY different subjects. The photography library on Lynda.com is extensive and has some excellent stuff. At the time I was selling my apartment, and I used the videos to improve my technique for photographing homes - this from North America's to real estate photographer.

    So arriving back in NZ I checked my library subscription here and voila! I had the same free access through this library. So if you want to check if you have access, go to your public library and search in the catalogue for Lynda.com. If you have access the link will appear, you will input your library access credentials and you have access to a great resource.

    For example it has information on using various flash units for Nikon and Canon systems and another discusses synchronization of flash... as I noticed this is a current topic.

    Yes, the Ottawa Public Library has the same service. I tried to watch some Lynda.com videos while I was in India earlier this year, but unfortunately, while I could access the site, the internet service / speed was so poor that I was not able to watch them.

    Wow! Thank you for the information. I will check my libraries. I belong to three different libraries locally (Escondido City, San Diego City and San Diego County Libraries) plus my wife is a Professor Emeritus at a local college and has lifetime library access to that institution's library... I am guessing that at least one of the four libraries will have access to Lynda.com...

    We have that through our library, and several years ago, I worked through a few of their photoshop videos, which I found helpful.

    We have access to Linda.com here in Brisbane too. Now I wonder if the library could do a deal with Adobe.
