Libraries have always been the place that people
come to learn things on their own. Whether it is a question about gardening or
researching a new career, the library is the first destination. Most recently, patrons
have discovered that library resources also can be accessed from a home
computer. There are many books that can be borrowed through Overdrive (a
library application) as well as a wide range of databases that can help you
research a wide variety of subjects.
This year, Russell Library patrons also have the
opportunity to learn on their own from home (or on one of the library’s
computers) with our new source for online learning, Lynda.com.
You don’t have to take our word for it. PC Magazine’srecent review of lynda.com states,
The site is exceptional
at teaching technical skills and technique, such as software for video editing,
photography, programming, and even animation. Beyond multimedia training,
lynda.com also helps people pick up business principles, money-management
advice, and much more. When you need skills training fast, lynda.com is the
go-to source for high quality results and a PCMag Editors' Choice.
If you need help accessing this source from your
home computer, please call or visit the library!
