Welcome
The Maine Shared Collections Cooperative
(MSCC) was founded by eight of Maine’s
largest libraries, plus the state’s consortium,
Maine InfoNet, together they have implemented
a shared approach to the management of print
collections in the state. MSCC are currently in
the process of recruiting new member
libraries.
MSCC builds upon the work of the Maine Shared
Collections Strategy which was a four-year project,
funded in part by the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS), the partner libraries
collaborated to make decisions about the storage,
retention, and preservation of print materials (both
books and journals), as well as implementing on-
demand delivery services in the state-wide
catalog. This helped alleviate space concerns
while ensuring that users continue to have equal
or greater access to the information.
