With many businesses, libraries, museums and event spaces temporarily closing down due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many organizations have decided to make their content more accessible for all. We’ve compiled a list of different resources or deals available during this time and we’ll continue to edit this post as needed.

Adobe

Adobe has announced that it will be providing free at-home access to Creative Cloud apps to those students who usually only have access on-campus. Not a student anymore? They’ve taken their offer one step further and are offering every subscriber 2 months free creative cloud.

1. Log in to your Creative Cloud account
2. On your account overview page, click the Cancel Plan link on your current subscription. (Don’t worry — you won’t actually be canceling your account.)
3. Select “it’s too expensive” as your reason for canceling on the “Feedback” page and continue
4. Follow the steps until you reach the “Offers” page and you should see an option to get the next two months of your plan free. Click Accept Offer and you’re good to go!

This online library, containing ebooks, audiobooks and magazine articles, is making all of its content accessible for free for 30 days

Headspace

Headspace announced Monday that they will be providing free Headspace Plus subscriptions to US-based healthcare workers through the end of the year in order to combat the rising levels of stress and burnout relating to the coronavirus pandemic. They are also offering free access to all K-12 teachers, school administrators, and supporting staff in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Neither of those? They’ve also created a collection that’s free for everyone, called “Weathering the Storm,” with meditations, sleep, and movement exercises.
