Register for a temporary New York library account (https://www.nypl.org/library-card - "Researchers Visiting the Library from Outside of New York State") and get free access to lynda.com tutorials (perfect for comparing notes with Udemy entrepreneurs). The steps are outlined in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG7STIDWnGo

Note: So as not to ruin it for everybody or make Microsoft bankrupt, please only create an account if you are planning to visit New York Library in the near future. Perfect for when you're busting (http://www.eurocheapo.com/blog/flushed-in-new-york-tips-for-…), or ghostbusting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYjFKsJjCP0).

Moreover, many libraries (SA, Melb, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbXz3MXx2DU) and probably most universities already give free access to lynda.com.

    or you could go via your local library.. Many libraries in Australia provide free access to lynda.com

      Seems like it's been available in every city except Sydney?

    As has already been alluded to, many public libraries offer free Lynda access - so, as an FYI for those who aren't aware,
    South Australian public library cardholders can access lyndaLibrary for free here: http://www.libraries.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=1602 :)

    Thanks to peterpeterpumpkin and his 'New York Lynda Deal' for jogging my memory about the QLD deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/285930

      This is so different to the New York one. Smh

      Do we need one for each state etc? :/

    • Wilburre on 05/01/2017 - 14:26

      Tony555 have you got this working through the lynda.com app? I can log in no problem through browser, but I can't get a by of the 4 login options in the app to work. Cheers.

      • Tony555 on 09/01/2017 - 01:40

        Sorry for my late reply…only just saw your msg.When I use Lynda on the computer, it won't let me login if I go directly to lynda.com. I have to go through the library login every time. I reckon this has something to do with your issue with the app

        • Wilburre on 09/01/2017 - 09:08

          Yeah there are organisation login options in the app but none work :( oh well can't complain too much for free, but means it's pretty unusable on the go - would be awesome to have the off-line capabilities for the car, gym etc.

  • justcallmeboss on 05/01/2017 - 02:01

    Good, going to New York in less than 2 weeks.

  • BigLeviathan on 05/01/2017 - 02:07

    Will the content be different if compared with the VIC library membership?

  • punkindrublic on 05/01/2017 - 08:27

    Looks like my old Melbourne City Library account is still active after all these years and lets me log into Lynda.com without any trouble. Thanks for the reminder OP!

    Thank you so much for this. I joined up via the Queensland State Library. I had no idea this resource was available. Was a big fan of Lynda.com whilst I was learning photography and photoshop.

  • tmsani on 05/01/2017 - 12:27

    Any WA state Library links for Lynda account sign up

  • cactus5000 on 05/01/2017 - 12:49

    I'm assuming this is only temporary access to Lynda.com, because when the temporary library account expires so will access to Lynda?

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 05/01/2017 - 13:27

      Yes, for NYPL the access is temporary. The author of the video believes that temporary access last 30 days.

      Temporary library members will have to reapply as necessary.

  • Draxxx on 05/01/2017 - 14:16

    No access for NSW?

  • Vislian on 05/01/2017 - 16:28

    Weren't they just robbed of all their user details?

  • abm77 on 05/01/2017 - 17:27

    I've got this after trying to log in into lynda.com using instructions provided here with my newly registred temporary library card number:
    http://www.libraries.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=1602

    "Permission denied
    Your authentication was successful. However, you do not have access to this resource. If you believe you have arrived on this page in error, please contact your organization or school's IT or help desk for further assistance."

    Apparently temporary card numbers can't be used to access lynda.com

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 18/02/2017 - 19:58

      NYPL has recently updated their systems as well to disallow temporary card holders.

  • Chongy288 on 06/01/2017 - 09:52

    Is there a way to watch these videos on the phone? I tried through the Web browser and it doesn't seem to be built for it (everything was plain text)..

    • blighst on 10/01/2017 - 22:28

      They have an app don't they?

  • thepharmaman on 12/01/2017 - 07:40

    is there a way to have a free online library card (without resident-ship ) other than NYPL

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 18/02/2017 - 20:01

      I don't know of any.

      Most uni students get it for free though.

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 14/02/2017 - 11:44

    My NYPL subscription is still working more than 30 days later. For now…

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 17/02/2017 - 17:12

      Annnnd it just stopped working after 44 days…

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 17/02/2017 - 17:19

    New York Library has now cancelled access to Lynda.com with temporary accounts.
