New MOUG Website Host
The Music OCLC Users Group's Executive Board is pleased to announce that MOUG's Web site has moved from its original host at Indiana University to a low-cost commercial Web-hosting service called BlueHost.
MOUG's URL remains the same. It is http://www.musicoclcusers.org.
The new hosting service offers easier administrative access, more robust file management and design options, and strong technical support and documentation. The MOUG board thanks present and former Webkeepers Nancy Sack and Rebecca Littman for facilitating this change, and thanks Indiana University for hosting the MOUG site these past few years.
