About
Lynda.com is an online educational site that includes over 5,000 courses (and over 130,000 videos) in popular fields like web design, web development, IT, education/instruction, media production, and business. Experts create and deliver all courses as well as provide supplemental materials like exercise files and relevant work samples. This is a valuable subscription based resource that is available for free with your New York Public Library (NYPL) Card.
