History
On March 11, 1994, in Columbus, Ohio, members of the State Council for Ohio Health met with the Ohio Health Information Organization (O.H.I.O.) to merge and launch a new and broader based organization, the Ohio Health Sciences Library Association (OHSLA). It was believed that this merger would produce a stronger organization that could better represent the organization in times of financial downsizing, political upheaval, and ever-increasing technology. This merger also provided a wide geographical base of members and offices. Since 1994, OHSLA has held biannual meetings in the spring and fall.
Scope and Content
The Ohio Health Sciences Library Association Records (approximately 3.5 linear feet, 560 MB) contains physical and born digital records of the organization accumulated by OHSLA members.
