Getting Started

Start familiarizing yourself with your available resources to get the most out of your subscription. Head to these key areas first to make sure your User Group experience is tailored to your needs:

How to Log in. To access online content, you must be logged into the website — so, of course, you'll need a username and password. The first time you log in, enter your primary email address as your username and password or choose the "Don't have a login, click here to join" button and go through the prompts for setup. If you need assistance, contact our Support Team at [email protected].

Complete (or update) your member profile. Your peers want to know a little bit about you and so do we! Current contact information is crucial to maintain your User Group benefits and helps us to know what content to serve up. Plus, a photo goes a long way when connecting with others so don't forget to add that to your Profile.
