<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">LWTech has used Lyrasis to negotiate pricing for our subscription to LexisNexis, Credo Reference Core Package, and Books 24X7. I am guessing my predecessor was unaware that the Washington State Library had a
group agent membership with Lyrasis as we have been paying Lyrasis around $450 a year to be our agent. If the Washington state Library continues to work with Lyrasis as their agent, how would LWTech piggyback on this so that we can cease paying them separately?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are presently trying to determine which libraries use the services of Lyrasis (<a href="https://www.lyrasis.org/Pages/Main.aspx">https://www.lyrasis.org/Pages/Main.aspx</a>). Lyrasis absorbed BCR several years ago and now has merged
with Duraspace (<a href="http://duraspace.org/">http://duraspace.org/</a>). The Washington State Library has paid for “group agent” state membership in Lyrasis since the merger with BCR.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Group Agent Membership is available to organizations that serve multiple other organizations. Examples are state library agencies, local consortia, or associations of libraries and cultural heritage organizations
with a similar focus (e.g., trial court or hospital libraries served by a central administrative agent). Group Agent Member central agencies are eligible for some of the benefits of LYRASIS membership. The organizations served by the Group Agent Member are
also eligible for certain LYRASIS membership benefits including member pricing on professional development and library supply discounts.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even though the membership fee is modest ($2,450), we are trying to determine whether renewal for an additional year is worthwhile.<o:p></o:p></p>
