The library is a great place for students — you can research assignments, borrow books and even study for finals with friends. Although there are plenty of libraries on campus, the Vancouver Public Library card provides access to so much more than books, most notably Lynda.com.
For those hoping to learn a new skill, explore an interest or learn new software skills to build an app or website, Lynda.com can surely satisfy your needs. This site is an online education database filled with expert-taught video courses in web design, marketing, software development, photography, 3D animation, graphic design and more. The courses are labelled with the duration and difficulty level of the course, ranging from beginner to advanced. Therefore, users can choose courses based on their skill level and time availability.
Operating on a monthly or yearly subscription, Lynda.com can cost upwards of $360 a year for premium access. However, those with a VPL card can access the site and all its courses for free. For students paying expensive tuition for our classes, free access to education is something you need to jump on.
