Exciting news! Today, December 1, the AAW has launched AAW EXPLORE! This new resource makes exploring the most extensive online woodturning library in the world, quick and easy. More than 2,500 items currently make up the expanding EXPLORE! collection, including articles from thirty years of the American Woodturner journal and AAW’s cumulative collection of complementary publications. The introduction of EXPLORE! is part of AAW’s VISION 2020 strategy to continue being the go-to source for all things woodturning. This innovative new member benefit offers easy access to woodturning information in a user-customizable way, and creates a platform for other, upcoming VISION 2020 initiatives.

EXPLORE! is easy to use. AAW members can access it, after logging into the AAW website at woodturner.org, under the “Publications” tab. This state-of-the-art resource enables members to locate articles and other media on a specific topic with as few as three mouse clicks—one to select a Category, a second to refine the category by Keyword, and a third to click the Search button and produce a list of article hyperlinks that meet their search criteria. The Quick Search may be used to search by any word included in the author’s name, article title, or publication section, and sort results by title, author, publication date, or type of media. Additionally, an option to find only articles suitable for beginners may be selected.

EXPLORE! was designed by woodturners for woodturners, and it would not have been developed so soon without the dedication, generosity, and expertise of AAW members Dave Mueller and John Kelsey. Dave’s software development skills, combined with John’s ability to deconstruct and tag thirty years of member publications, have made EXPLORE! an exciting reality.

I encourage you to take a look at EXPLORE! and share this exciting new AAW member benefit with other woodturners.
