Library Resources

The Pikes Peak Library District subscribes to a variety of databases. The resources listed below can be accessible from anywhere you have internet access as long as you have a library card that begins with "4" and know your PIN number.

CustomGuide
Previously known as Learn on Demand, Custom Guide provides training courses on various Windows, iOs, and Microsoft Office versions. Once you have signed in, it will keep track of your progress on each course. Each unit is self-contained, so if you do not have Word 2013 on your computer, you can still run the Custom Guide program. It tracks what sessions you have completed. Once you select your topic, it will then show you how many sections are in that topic.
LinkedIn Learning
Previously called Lynda.com, LinkedIn Learning offers training on a variety of business, creative and technology topics. You can learn skills from knitting to marketing, to Photoshop. It offers both video and course trainings. There is also an app that you can download and log into with your library card and pin number.
Adult Learning Center
Offers GED test prep, U.S. Citizenship test prep, resume help, and Microsoft Office training. It also has live tutors available through instant messaging, if you have questions on one of their courses.

They also feature a resume review where you can create an account, submit your resume for review, and they will provide feedback withing 48 hours. You can do this as often as you like.
