ULA Annual Conference 2026

What happens when two library systems become one? Intermountain Health Library Services recently completed a merger of two library systems. Join us as we reflect on our journey to become a unified library system, reshaping our foundational elements of people, collections, infrastructure, and policies. We will share key insights from this journey, and highlight the successes, challenges, and lessons learned along the way that may empower other librarians as they navigate change. Building on these insights, we will offer recommendations for cultivating a positive work culture in times of organizational change.
