The Ministry of Education is a partner in the Multitype Database Licensing Program (MDLP) on behalf of PreK to Grade 12 school libraries.  The MDLP is a province-wide program in which libraries partner to pool funds to jointly purchase access to authoritative, quality electronic information resources for all residents. The MDLP currently has 37 library partners in the program, including all 10 public library systems, the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Regina, SIAST, five small colleges, 18 special libraries such as Provincial Library, other government libraries, and non-profit organization libraries, and the Ministry of Education on behalf of all PreK-12 school libraries. The MDLP subscribes to 34 products, providing access to more than 9,000 full text unique journals, magazines, newspapers, plus online directories and encyclopedias as well as other online reference materials. The program also purchased perpetual access to dozens of e-books and the Literature Resource Centre Digital Archive from Gale. The MDLP is a flagship program of the Multitype Library Board (MLB) and has achieved equality of access to high quality electronic information resources for all Saskatchewan citizens. 

The goals of the program are to:

• increase the amount of authoritative, quality electronic information available to library users;
• ensure equitable access to electronic information resources including home access;
• make these resources accessible in every type of library province-wide;
• pay for access to these resources only once within the province;
• encourage cooperation among libraries in Saskatchewan; and, 
• maximize the buying capacity of all libraries through cost-sharing.
