Lynda.com Videos

As a Seattle or King County resident, you can access Lynda.com training videos for free. If you're a resident of the City of Seattle, use your Seattle Public Library card to access the Lynda.com videos. King County residents have the same benefit from KCPL, too. Other public libraries may have the same benefit - contact your local library for detail.

If your public library is not an option, ask your employer. They may have access for employee training purposes. If none is available, start with a trial account at Lynda.com.
