Members attending the 63nd Annual MMLA Convention may take advantage of the convention hotel rate honored at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center. The deadline to receive the convention rate is October 26th, 2022.

In Spring and Fall, the JMMLA presents peer-reviewed essays on special topics of current and lasting interest to the profession.

Members of the association are encouraged to submit essays and book reviews to the Journal.

Members are invited to submit proposals to chair or organize a session for the MMLA's annual convention. Once the call for papers is announced, members are invited to submit their paper proposals to the appropriate chairs and organizers.

Each year, the Executive Committee plans several workshop-style sessions that focus on professionalization issues--such as book and article publication, promotion and tenure, writing grant proposals, and negotiating the job market. These sessions typically include several panelists who are at various points in their careers, as well as people in relevant fields (e.g., acquisitions editors of university presses, journal editors, grant-writing officers, and so on). Brief presentations are followed by a lengthy discussion with attendees, during which MMLA members are encouraged to voice their questions.

In addition, the Executive Committee offers CV workshops to MMLA members and individuals. In these workshops, Executive Committee faculty with search committee experience will discuss CV and job-application strategy, and work on an individual basis with graduate student members seeking employment.  

The MMLA teams with the Newberry Library to provide a short-term fellowship for Ph.D. candidates or post-doctoral scholars that supports work in residence at the Newberry for one month. An applicant's MMLA membership must be current at the time of application and through the period of the fellowship.
