We believe partnering with vendors offers advantages not just to our members, but to vendors and MCLS as well.
Working with MCLS allows you to broaden your reach and impact, simplify purchasing, and leverage the MCLS reputation for trusted resources and services.
MCLS eLCR works with over 600 member libraries and organizations Academic, K-12, Public, Medical, and Special libraries primarily in Indiana and Michigan and nonmember purchasers from across the country and around the globe. We are a non-profit library collaborative, that is member-owned and governed. Guided by the MCLS mission and values, we work closely with our members to understand their needs, users, and the constraints they work under to select and purchase through MCLS. We aim to save members time and money by managing the purchasing cycle, from quotes, trials, license terms, and invoicing by working with vendors to negotiate reduced pricing on products and services.
MCLS members receive a negotiated discount on products, or a selection of products they order directly through your ordering platform.
Vendors supply a discount code to MCLS that we share upon request from members.
