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 merge would produce a stronger organization that could better represent the organization in the time of financial downsizing, political upheaval, and ever increasing technology. This merge also provided a wide geographical base of members and offices. Since 1994, OHSLA has biannual meetings in Spring and Fall. The following documents provide a more in depth history of the first two decades of OHSLA.
