Hi! When I go to the resource center there aren't any documents or filters. It only gives me a search option. I am not sure exactly what I am looking for, is it possible to just browse the resource documents? Thanks!

Hi Ashley, 

Great question! If you just recently joined the forum, it may take up to an hour for you to automatically be added as a member of the Animal Welfare Professionals & Volunteers community which is where a majority of the resource files live. 

To expedite the process, you can go to the Animal Welfare Professionals & Volunteers community homepage (using the website navigation go to Browse -> Animal Welfare Professionals Community) and click the "Join Community/Group" button. You'll be prompted to choose your notification preference upon joining.



Then you'll be able to easily view the Resource Center which include all resources from communities/groups you're a member of or you can view all the resources in the Animal Welfare Professionals & Volunteers Community Library.  

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
