A library-centered platform for academic discovery and digital access
As a non-profit, Lyrasis offers technology that works for libraries—removing barriers rather than creating them. Through The Palace Project, we offer a uniquely flexible and integrated ebook platform with a built-in mobile reader, unlike any other in the academic space. Building on proven success in public libraries, we’re bringing the same seamless access, backend efficiency, and community-driven values to academic institutions.
Expansive access through trusted content partners
The Palace Project connects academic libraries to a robust ecosystem of licensed, open, and hosted content, all within a single unified platform. Through integrations with leading publishers and open-access providers, Palace enables libraries to deliver seamless discovery, equitable access, and long-term stewardship of digital collections.
