}}LYRASIS was created in April 2009 from the merger of SOLINET and PALINET, two US based library networks.[1] NELINET, the New England library network, also merged into LYRASIS in late 2009.[2] In January 2011, the Bibliographical Center for Research, Denver, CO (BCR) phased out operations and joined LYRASIS. [3][4]

The founding Executive Director of LYRASIS was Kate Nevins, who served from 2009 - 2015. Robert D. Miller, formerly with the Internet Archive, is the current CEO of LYRASIS, beginning in June, 2015. Under Miller's direction, LYRASIS has expanded its leadership programs, community events and support of community supported, open source technologies.

Organizational goals include: the development and selection of new technology solutions; fostering community-wide projects that help deliver better outcomes and services; content creation, acquisition and management; support for new content models and strategies; and large-scale knowledge management programs.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}}

LYRASIS has more than 1,000 members in 28 countries. LYRASIS is staffed by more than 50 individuals and the company has three main areas of focus: community supported/open source software; technology hosting services; content creation and acquisition. LYRASIS also offers consulting services.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}}

LYRASIS supports a diverse membership that includes academic, public, special, and school libraries, as well as archives museums and state libraries.[6]

In June 2015, Robert Miller replaced Kate Nevins as the Executive Director of LYRASIS.[7]

In January 2019 LYRASIS and DuraSpace announced their intention to merge.[8] This is the second time the two organizations have planned a merger.[9]

Leader’s Circle, Leaders Forum and Catalyst Fund – More than 200 LYRASIS members are actively involved in these programs so far, engaging in early innovation exploration, cross-institution collaboration and initial vetting of ideas, services and programs. Our members work together on new ideas and trends throughout the year in informal forums. [https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/Catalyst-Fund.aspx Catalyst Fund] ideas submitted by members are then selected by vote of the [https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/Leaders-Circle.aspx Leaders Circle] to be funded. During the annual Member Summit, Catalyst Fund recipients report on progress and members work together to consider future directions for funded projects, including expansion and potential grant or business planning. Through these leadership programs, LYRASIS members are able to participate in the creation and fruition of new ideas all the way through the life cycle of a program.

Investments – LYRASIS works closely with members to submit and receive grants from foundations such as The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to support ideas and programs on behalf of its members and other libraries, archives and museums who need access to these innovative programs. Furthermore LYRASIS has reinvested proceeds from its traditional investments into potential ideas, program and solutions to benefit its membership.
