MILEX is open to any academic librarian, at any Maryland institution, who is interested in the area of information literacy. We welcome ideas for collaborative efforts designed to develop information literate patrons at our individual institutions.
MILEX membership is on an annual basis, starting July 1 of each year. At $25 per individual, annual membership rates are an exceptionally great value. MILEX members enjoy reduced registration rates for MILEX programs and conferences.
All funds are administered by the University System of Maryland Foundation, Inc. for the benefit of MILEX.
