BCR will not be accepting any new orders or subscription renewals after July 31, 2010, but will still be open for several months to process your payments and wind down our operations. If you are a library located in one of BCR’s member states, your state library’s statewide BCR membership will enable you to activate a membership in LYRASIS. This LYRASIS membership will run through June 30, 2011, and you can purchase many of the products and services previously offered by BCR at LYRASIS member prices. To activate your LYRASIS membership, please contact LYRASIS Member Support at 800.999.8558 or westsupport@lyrasis.org.

If you answered “yes” to both of these questions, please take the time to fill out the Deposit Account Funds Release Form available online and submit it electronically.
