Use your library cre­den­tials to access Lynda​.com at the fol­low­ing link: https://​www​.linkedin​.com/​l​e​a​r​n​i​n​g​-​l​o​g​i​n​/​g​o​/​t​ccl. Make care­ful note of login cre­den­tials and pass­words for future reference.

To take a screen-shot:

  • Com­mand-Shift-4-Space­bar: Takes a screen­shot of the win­dow, and saves it as a file on the desk­top. The file will have a .png extension.
  • Com­mand-Shift‑3: Takes a screen­shot of the entire screen, and saves it as a file on the desk­top. The file will have a .png extension.
  • Instead of using the key­board short­cuts above, screen­shots can be taken by using the Screen­shot appli­ca­tion included with Mac OS X. It is located at /Applications/Utilities/Screenshot or by search­ing via Spot­light in the upper right of the Mac screen.
