EOP update

Here is a summary of recent EOP activities:

A-R Editions has printed the pre-conference workshop brochure that is intended for our targeted audience (those wanting to learn more about the basics of music librarianship). The mailing went out on Wednesday, Dec. 5. If you mentor, or know someone who would be interested in the content of the pre-conference workshop, e-mail Holling Smith-Borne for a brochure. 450 brochures were sent out to students, general librarians, new MLA members, and RI/MA regional library schools, consortia, library organizations and libraries.


MLA members received their annual conference mailing packets which included information about the pre-conference workshop FOR INSTRUCTORS. If you are an instructor, be sure to sign up for the pre-conference workshop train-the-trainer program. Registration is online this year. Early registration ends on Dec. 31.


Workshop subgroup coordinators have been contacted with a request to e-mail the instructors in their subgroup to give their final comments on the LEARNING OUTCOMES, DUE Dec. 31.


Holling Smith-Borne and Joseph Hafner were “temporarily” added to the MLA chapter chairs listserv to get a conversation going about future workshop requests via the MLA chapters. One workshop request has already been received from OhioLink. Details need to be worked out so requests can be handled in a timely and coordinated fashion.


EOP information was presented at several MLA chapter meetings which resulted in the addition of more instructors.


SAVE THE DATE: All EOP participants are invited to attend a meeting at the annual conference in Newport to discuss the next steps in the EOP. This discussion will include outreach to potential chapter members using the EOP workshops, procedures for when a workshop is requested, feedback on the pre-conference workshop and future plans/topics for the EOP. The time/date is Friday, Feb . 22, 2:00-3:30 PM.
