Started in 2011 the Maine Shared Collections Strategy began as a three-year project. The work was funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The program allows participating libraries to collaborate on decisions about the storage, retention, and preservation of print materials (both books and journals). Maine SC items may be housed in remote storage facilities, closed/secured stacks, or open (public) stacks. In 2015 the program was renamed the Maine Shared Collections Cooperative (MSCC).
