About MOUG-L

MOUG-L is an electronic discussion list for the dissemination of information and the discussion of issues and topics of interest to music library professionals. Postings routinely include discussion of music cataloging issues, OCLC products and services as related to music cataloging and reference work, related announcements, and information about conferences and other professional development opportunities. MOUG-L is an open discussion list; anyone may subscribe.

Originally established at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas by Cheryl Taranto, the list has served the organization as a discussion medium since 2000. In 2008 the list was moved to the University of Kentucky and was hosted by Kerri Scannell Baunach. On July 27, 2016 the list was moved to OCLC. The current co-listowners are Jay Weitz and Nancy Sack.

For questions about the list or to report any problems with the list, please contact Nancy Sack at sack@hawaii.edu
