SCELC

SCELC is the first consortium in the Western United States to offer participation in a consortial shared print program, including OCLC/Sustainable Collection Services GreenGlass Group Collection Analysis, at a discount to Atla libraries.

The SCELC Shared Print program currently includes thirty-five academic institutions of all sizes and the collective collection represents the full range of academic disciplines. We welcome Atla member libraries to learn more about the program.

Throughout North America, library consortia are encouraging their members to pledge to retain and share a reasonable number of copies of scholarly monographs. These Shared Print programs protect against the loss of resources as pressure grows to reduce and repurpose space in library buildings. SCELC is a member of the Partnership for Shared Book Collections (PSBC), a federation supporting cost-effective retention of and access to print book collections with the goal of ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of these scholarly print resources, and is active in CRL’s Print Archive Network (PAN) Forum.
