Solinet and Palinet to Form LYRASIS

Voting for the proposed merger between Solinet and Palinet is underway. Directors of Solinet and Palinet "Governing Members" have been sent a link to vote online.

Solinet has a site with all the latest news on the merger.

By the way...what does Lyrasis mean?

The name was inspired by the constellation of Lyra which hosts one of the galaxy’s brightest starts and guiding lights, and the suffix sis can designate a process, often associated with change (as in metamorphosis). Together, they position LYRASIS as your guide through the ever-changing world of information services.

The business and affairs of LYRASIS will be managed by a Board of Trustees (currently serving members on the two Boards). Trustees elected in the future shall be representative and shall be elected by the Members.

The merger will be effective on April 1, 2009.
