SCOOP Onboarding

Starting in late 2017, MHEC began discussions with three state Library Associations (SCOOP) in
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont on ways that MHEC could save them both time and money.
After reviewing MHEC’s contract suppliers, pricing and learning more about our purchasing consortium through a series
of webinars, SCOOP members started submitting membership applications April, 2018. We are delighted to welcome our
newest Library members to our consortium and look forward to working closely with all our Library members as we
develop new contracts. Our newest Library contract is L54 – Library Digital Technologies begins January 1, 2019 with
eighteen suppliers offering new, innovative technology products.
