Abstract
Abstract Mergers of health sciences libraries into the larger university library system often result in a cascade of changes, including the integration of the health sciences into a unified, system-wide website. This paper will discuss two health sciences libraries’ experiences with reorganizing content and rethinking services, explaining health sciences users’ needs to colleagues in the university library system, and advocating for changes that made sense for a diverse range of users. Alongside considerable challenges, there were positive outcomes from the merger, including increased website usability and strengthened partnerships across the library system, particularly with library IT.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries is a peer-reviewed professional journal devoted to the access, evaluation, and management of electronic resources in the medical library environment. This journal will be an essential resource for academic medical school libraries, hospital libraries, and other health sciences libraries. The material in the Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries will complement articles published in Medical Reference Services Quarterly (also edited by M. Sandra Wood), which highlights the reference and bibliographic instruction aspects of electronic resources.
