FAQs
Regional Outreach Representatives are regionally-based librarians and specialists who work hard to ensure that members and future members in specific geographic regions have an in-person representative to meet current and future needs, as well as ensure that your institution considers communities or opportunities of interest at large when the opportunity arises. We are here to not only discuss and resolve current matters, but listen to your needs and provide Lyrasis or partner based solutions.
