Merging and unmerging information technology (IT) and libraries has been happening in academia for more than four decades. The creation of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) was one of its outcomes. The panel will discuss three academic institutions: the University of Rhode Island (URI), the University of Southern California (USC) and Brandeis University. We will examine the impact of merging (Brandeis) and unmerging (URI and USC).
