Lyrasis

Lyrasis

LYRASIS was created in 2009 from the merger of SOLINET and PALINET, two of the strongest and most successful library networks in the United States.[1] NELINET, the New England library network, also merged into LYRASIS in late 2009.[2] In January 2011 the Bibliographical Center for Research (BCR) phased out operations and joined LYRASIS.
