SCELC is a consortium of private academic and nonprofit research libraries in California and Texas. SCELC specializes in negotiating discounted offers for electronic resources and other services, including e-journal packages, ebooks, databases, discovery services, and more. In 2010 SCELC formed a partnership with TEXSHARE. The TexShare/SCELC Partner Program is intended to provide private colleges and universities in Texas with the opportunity to license electronic resources not currently available through the TexShare program. Private colleges and universities in Texas are eligible to become TexShare/SCELC Partners; they will then be able to acquire access to electronic resources at reduced rates negotiated by SCLEC. Both TexShare and SCELC staff members are available to assist potential partners throughout this process.
