      Lynda.com has great courses. Hardly 'low level'. I've learned more out of some Lynda courses than I did at uni.

        Hi. I asked for specific examples. If you look under Teaching, they're basically wikipedia articles in video form. So please do share

  • usman6062 on 11/04/2015 - 16:34

    I became a member of QLD Library but I did not receive any membership number…Any info how to get it?

    • IVI on 11/04/2015 - 17:08

      Maybe they'd heard about / read this page & have their IT guru's mapping IP address to states/territories, & bouncing those NOT in Qld…?

        Here are their IT gurus.

      Not quite sure, but I was able to log in when they asked me for a SLQ username and password. Just go through the linked image, not the link in the description

    Anyone know if we can download the courses for offline viewing? Thanks.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/04/2015 - 18:53

      Yes..Use this plugin in Chrome.

  • kapone on 11/04/2015 - 21:35

    Thank you so much. Been wanting to invest in Lynda for some time, check back on them a couple of times a year to see if prices have dropped enough to pull the trigger, never been the case though.

  • povertytrap on 12/04/2015 - 01:14

    Was able to log in first time after registering. However, a few hours later tried to log in again with same user id and password and it didn't work. Anybody else have the same problem?

    • iNeedMoreMoney on 12/04/2015 - 10:09

      Yeh. Was working yesterday but not now… do we have to login during library opening hours lol

    • samcro on 12/04/2015 - 13:15

      Still working for me…. :)

    • [Deactivated] on 13/04/2015 - 00:20

      Same here. I can't log in to the new account I made yesterday. I followed the steps again to sign in with my old Lynda.com account that I used to use and I got access. But I tried to sign in again with a different browser and now I can't get in and get this message:

      Permission denied

      You are trying to log in from an IP address that is not associated with a lynda.com account. For additional assistance, use our Contact Us form or call Customer Service at 1 (888) 335-9632 or +1 (805) 477-3900.

  • MrUniqueName on 13/04/2015 - 19:44

    I signed up with no problems but now it's giving me this error when I try to log in again:

    "Permission denied

    I'm using my genuine library account so not sure what's going on? Has anyone else had this problem?

    • edfrane on 14/04/2015 - 20:37

      Yes, I get that as well.
      I believe that Lynda is denying access to those that don't have a QLD IP address.

      • MrUniqueName on 15/04/2015 - 17:22

        It's weird though, since I'm in QLD so I definitely have a local IP address. I know it's free so I'm not losing out on anything but it's pretty disappointing as I've wanted to access Lynda for years :(

        • edfrane on 15/04/2015 - 22:25

          What you can do is,(works for me) is just reapply the same steps as before(same lydna account is fine), and you'll have full access for the next hour or so.
          It's a pain, but it works.

        • thirtysixd on 26/04/2015 - 18:49

          @edfrane:

          You need to login via http://wwwlyndacom.ezystate.slq.qld.gov.au/

          This will stop the ip error

        • edfrane on 26/04/2015 - 19:04

          @thirtysixd:
          Thanks,
          How do I get the "6 digit Payroll No" though?

        • jason3w on 15/05/2015 - 06:45

          it's locked to library IP's. Rang Lynda, and they said i'd have to be at the library to use :(

    • notoriousft on 14/04/2015 - 21:10

      I think you're trying lynda.com.

      You should connect via https://wwwlyndacom.ezystate.slq.qld.gov.au/Login/

      • MrUniqueName on 15/04/2015 - 17:22

        I tried your link and it takes me to this:

        "Access to the requested resource is generally available to Queensland Health Hospital and Health Service staff. If you are unable to login to the resource, either contact your local Queensland Health Library or register as a client with your local Queensland Health Library at: http://www.health.qld.gov.au/libraries/client-rego-new.asp"

  • povertytrap on 13/04/2015 - 23:45

    Ozbargained?

  • purrp0se on 14/04/2015 - 22:39

    I can confirm logging in through the eastern regional libraries link on their site for lynda with another libraries details, in my case; Melton libraries; my library number & pin; has given me full access to lynda.

  • thirtysixd on 26/04/2015 - 19:04

    Man this is great

    Just downloaded several courses that I couldn't find anywhere on the usual sites

  • jason3w on 15/05/2015 - 06:43

    Rang Lynda, and this deal is only usable if you are actually at the library. Locked to the library IP addresses it seems.

    • alexcanton on 26/11/2015 - 00:24

      Can confirm it does work from home.

  • alexcanton on 26/11/2015 - 00:24

    Absolutely fantastic!

  • GafferFish on 26/12/2015 - 18:15

    Link given in the description didn't work anymore. After some poking around on their site, it seems it's now disabled for public library members and requires a QLD State Library membership. Which can be signed up for easily online with supplying an address in QLD.

    Instructions are at:
