Visitor Experience

Website Menus

Website visitors, which refers to anyone not "logged in" as an MWSA member, can access the most important features of the MWSA site: the online Dispatches magazine articles and book reviews. Even if you are an MWSA member, there's no need to enter a username and password if you want to read an article from the archives. 

Yes, there are lot more features for members, but we consider our first priority to be member's books and other works. 

Let us take a look at what visitors can do on the MWSA site.
