Concurrently, accelerating forces of change in technology, research and research publishing are further motivating the need for change in academic libraries. We can best meet these challenges by developing a unification strategy that builds on individual strengths, while at the same time leverages collaboration and cooperation in order to creatively and collaboratively innovate a total approach that is far greater than the sum of the individual parts. date: 2016-05 date_type: published full_text_status: restricted pres_type: paper event_title: ELUNA 2016 Annual Meeting event_location: Oklahoma City, OK USA event_dates: May 1-6, 2016 event_type: conference refereed: FALSE citation: Luce, Richard (2016) Closing Keynote - United we Stand, Divided we Fall: toward a unification strategy for the future of academic libraries.
