Company Profile
Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium
Company Overview
SCELC empowers librarians working in private nonprofit academic and research libraries to collaborate on access to and the effective use of library resources and services. As an “opt-in” consortium, our libraries participate in licenses and programs based on their own understanding of the best interests of their individual libraries.
Company History
SCELC is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit, founded in 1986 and incorporated in 2001. Initially, core activities were networking and professional development, with speakers at directors meetings and one or two member conferences each year. SCELC quickly expanded to licensing electronic resources on behalf of libraries, and now offers programs such as resource sharing, scholarships, and research incentives.
Benefits
SCELC’s current benefits package includes multiple options for individual medical plans, with generous employee-sponsored premiums for employees and their dependents. Currently dental and vision plans are also provided, along with life insurance and long-term disability insurance. SCELC contributes to the retirement plan (403b) at 8% of an employee’s salary per annum.
