The library now subscribes to Lynda.com, an online training library containing over 3,000 video tutorials on a vast array of software and computing and design topics.
Lynda.com provides comprehensive training in office software, audio, video, photography, graphic design, web and interactive design, business, and development from expert instructors.
This resource is available to UNC Asheville students, faculty and staff both on and off campus.
Now available for check out is a growing collection of Lynda.com technology training videos on CD-ROM. Ranging from 2 to 20 hours each, and including sample files for you to work along with, these videos are like classrooms in a box. While that kind of time commitment may sound daunting, it's easy to jump around between chapters. I've already learned a lot from them, even about programs I've been using for years. Look for more (including FrontPage) in our Media Browsing Room in the weeks to come.
