Every MLA member was sent an email reminder inviting you to join each of the CoPs. Please sign-up for those that interest you and in which you'd like to participate. For detailed instructions on how to sign-up for a pilot CoP visit http://www.mla.lib.mi.us/cops. Once you sign-up, you will receive a confirmation email containing the URL for the pilot CoP wiki.
This is an exciting time at MLA. We are moving forward with Communities of Practice and we are piloting new technologies to meet the needs of our members. Please join a pilot CoP and help us continue shaping our tomorrow.
