How to Become a GMR Sponsored Webinar Site http://nnlm.gov/gmr/funding/mla-webinar
The GMR will sponsor the registration costs for up to *two (2) individual webinar events per state* in the region for the 2015 MLA Webinar Series. As only a limited number of webinars can be sponsored; please work with your state and local health science librarian groups to identify centralized locations. All webinars come with on-demand recording available through 12/31/15.
NOTE: There will four webinars during the remainder of 2015, of which we will fund three. Select the one for which you would like to be sponsored
– but be aware our current plan is to only fund two events per state.
Applications for these final webinars are due by *Friday, October 23, 2015*. The short deadline is so the November 4th sites will have time to advertise for their event.
