Abstract
Many universities are merging knowledge organizations, primarily libraries and computing centers. Discussion typically includes the developing organizational structure, the impact of technology on the organization, and funding implications. One major issue facing these units is the merger of cultures that each brings to the new organization. This cultural merger can either be a clash of titans from which neither emerges intact, or it can be a golden opportunity to incorporate the best of each to produce a different organization with a new cultural value system. This paper describes the merger of a university library and campus computing organization with the best values of each.
