CLiC Offers Program with MiCTA!
CLiC has purchased a membership for all CLiC member libraries in MiCTA (Michigan Collegiate Telecommunications Association). This is a for-profit organization that negotiates contracts with telecom, computer, office equipment, and e-learning vendors on behalf of non-profit academics, schools, libraries, and governmental entities.
Benefits:
- Savings can be significant by leveraging membership buying power. One library was able to save 50% on a T1 line through Qwest.
- Each vendor has MiCTA account reps who understand these specific discounts.
- The rigorous RFP process that MiCTA performs meets requirements for most city, county, school district, academic, and state institutions.
How to Get Started:
- Make sure you are a CLiC member library. (If you don’t see your library on the list, please complete the CLiC Membership Form)
- Review the MiCTA packet sent to Library Directors in June 2007, which includes an introduction letter, PowerPoint presentation about MiCTA and some of the vendors, and your library’s membership number, username and password.
- Visit the MiCTA web site: http://www.mictatech.org, when talking to a vendor about MiCTA savings use the CLiC username, MTL-80110-UMB.
- Review powerpoint discussing what MiCTA entails.
Testimonials:
"Through the MiCTA membership, we now have a chance to reduce the monthly cost of our T-1 line [Internet access] making it possible for us to afford other resources. Thanks to CLiC for working tirelessly to find bargains, create agreements and work for the improvement of library service throughout Colorado." - Deb Johnson, Director - East Morgan County Library District
