The library and ICT departments at Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College have become codependent through their collaboration on new projects like integrating library systems into Moodle, providing equipment for movie making, and investigating RFID technologies. Their complementary skill sets around technical skills, access, user experience, and scanning the external environment help grease the wheels of collaboration through their proximity, involvement in management, shared meetings, and collegial relationships built on shared beliefs and missions.
