Cooperative Purchasing
Save time and money by purchasing products through WiLS
If you are looking to make a purchase for your library or cultural institution, join the over 450 organizations using WiLS’ Cooperative Purchasing service to save both money and time. Through the service, you get access to our negotiated discounts with dozens of vendors for hundreds of products and we will manage the complete life cycle of your electronic content purchases, from trials to invoicing. Our one-stop-shop subscription management portal, MyWiLS, makes it easy and fast to manage all your subscriptions. We also offer payment services – including deposit accounts, bill-pay for any vendor you work with, and customized invoicing – to make the payment process easy and customized to your needs.
