To join a group that matches your interests, you must first sign up for a Canadian HSS Commons account. Then use the tool “Search” on the top right corner to find a group you wish to join, or from the Group page under the “Community” item in the main menu, click Browse available groups to find a specific group. Click on the green “Join Group” button. This will send a member request to the manager of the group. If the manager approves your request, you will be able to access the group.

Please note that there are private groups for which you cannot send “Join Group” requests; only the managers of those groups can invite/add new members. You can also create a new group if you would like to. Please visit Knowledge Base/Create a group to learn how to create a group.
