paraprofessionals, or professionals in the first five years of their
professional careers; and (2) who are likely to benefit from MOUG's
educational oppotunities (i.e., those who work with music materials in
libraries or in library systems, whether they are music specialists or
generalists). Professional and workplace need, financial need, past
training and experience, demonstration of initiative, likely further
contributions to the profession, and comments from reference letters
are also considered. Applicants need not be current members of MOUG.
Applications are due November 11, 2011 and shall consist of a letter that
includes a rationale for attending the MOUG annual meeting, an
explanation of financial need, a brief vita, and the name of at least
one person who will submit a letter (also due November 11) in support of
the application.
All application materials shall be sent by e-mail, either as in-text
messages or as attachments in .pdf, .doc, or .docx format, to the MOUG Vice-Chair, Marty Jenkins (martin.jenkins@wright.edu). Letters of support shall be sent directly by their authors, not by the applicants.
Applicants will be notified of the outcome by e-mail no later than
November 30, 2011, and will be acknowledged at the MOUG 2012 annual
meeting.
