So you want to offer an electronic resource through SCELC?

Here's how it works:

1. Contact the Executive Director, Rick Burke, at admin@scelc.org, or phone (310) 728-6793.
2. The Executive Director may vet the product with the SCELC Product Review Committee (PRC), a committee of selected reference librarians drawn from a subset of member libraries.
3. In some instances, a PRC member will complete a review of the product, which can be shared with the vendor.
4. Once the PRC has decided that the product should be offered to SCELC, the Executive Director will request a License Agreement and negotiate the terms. In some instances, steps 2–3 will be bypassed, and move directly to license and cost negotiation.
5. A general trial, accessible via our trials web page, and preferably IP-authenticated, will then be established for the full membership. Vendor contact information will also be displayed on the trials web page.
6. SCELC Order Forms with pricing will be sent to all SCELC members.
7. The SCELC office will collect SCELC Order Forms, and a spreadsheet will be sent to the vendor, listing all subscribing libraries and costs.
8. SCELC will provide central billing and invoicing services to all subscribers and to the vendor.
9. The vendor will supply activation information for the products, which will be sent to all subscribers.
