The Monterey County Office of Education awarded a contract to Mackin after a sealed competitive bid in cooperation with the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies. Even though a bid was not necessary for this type of instructional product, MCOE conducted a bid to find discounts for Califoria schools. The bid sought digital resources to support and integrate into classroom instruction and learning. The category included extended library resources for purposes of information literacy, automation, and access to reference materials and eBooks.

For more than 30 years, Mackin Educational Resources has provided library and classroom materials. It works with more than 18,000 publishers and a database of more than 2.5 million printed titles and more than 350,000 digital titles. A true partner in education, Mackin’s continued success and unblemished reputation is known by thousands of teachers, administrators, and librarians across the country and throughout the world.

Makin offers the newest and most modern ebooks, databases and online learning resources available. Districts and schools that use the CalSave contract receive a 5 percent discount on the company’s catalog of more than 350,000 ebooks. To ensure getting a discount and other protections of the contract, make sure that all purchase orders specify the “CalSAVE/AEPA 016-C Contract.”
