Research Solutions Subsidiary Reprints Desk® Becomes a Preferred Vendor for LYRASIS, One of the Largest Library Consortia in the U.S.
ENCINO, CALIF., and ATLANTA, GEORGIA, March 21, 2016 — Research Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: RSSS), a pioneer in providing on-demand access to scientific, technical and medical (STM) information for research-intensive companies and organizations, and LYRASIS, a membership organization serving libraries, museums, and archives, announced today that Reprints Desk’s A-Z Academic Article Delivery Collection will be made available to the consortium’s 1,200 member libraries and cultural institutions at specially negotiated prices. LYRASIS member libraries benefit from using the award-winning Article Galaxy™ software platform to retrieve scholarly journal articles that are not available via subscriptions. In addition, member institutions can analyze spend management and content acquisition costs, ensuring cost-effectiveness of interlibrary loan and article delivery services.
“By supplementing subscriptions with article delivery services from Reprints Desk, LYRASIS members are able to provide fast access to the critical content required by their respective faculty members and students,” said Celeste Feather, Sr. Director of Licensing and Strategic Partnerships at LYRASIS. “In the bigger picture, commercial document delivery solution providers like Reprints Desk can also help LYRASIS academic libraries diversify their collection management strategies and accommodate patrons’ dynamically changing information needs.”
The A-Z Academic Article Delivery Collection powered by Reprints Desk is comprised of specially priced scholarly journal articles from more than 40,000 academic publications – including content often embargoed by interlibrary loan (LL) – and millions of book chapters from hundreds of thousands of titles. Reprints Desk provides a high quality PDF within minutes of each order received and offers the service for a low transactional service fee plus a special academic royalty charge as low as fifteen U.S. dollars.
“Reprints Desk is honored to announce our new collaboration with LYRASIS”, said Tony Landolt, Business Development at Reprints Desk. “LYRASIS member institutions can look forward to rapid access to full-text journal articles, 24/7 customer support, and special copyright royalties that provide another sourcing option beyond traditional interlibrary loan.”
