ACCESSING “MEMBER’S ONLY” CONTENT

In the current EJ Reader Survey, a number of members asked for easier access to previously-published game commentaries and other E-Journal content. That’s a cool feature built into our new online system; here’s how: For all general EJ reports, go to our news site and then select the area you’re interested in, under Categories. For example, simply clicking on Go Classified brings up all the classified ads, GO NEWS: U.S./North America brings up U.S. news and so on. The News Search box provides even more powerful searchability on the entire news site. Member’s Edition material is only available to members of the American Go Association, and links to each week’s material are included in week’s E-Journal (this material is provided as a benefit of membership in the AGA; you are welcome to download as many copies for personal use as necessary; please do not distribute) but we’ve also compiled online collections of the material for easier access: 2010 MEMBER'S EDITION COLLECTION OF GAMES, COMMENTARIES & MORE: completely up-to-date collection of all Member’s Edition content from 2010 and updated each week with that week’s member content
