The investigation included a study of processes observed by the units in creating, acquiring, storing and disseminating information. It used the qualitative method, Bourdieu habitus concept in the study. Findings indicate that there is synergy in the early part of the collaboration. Library staff played big role in early period, but museum staff become more dominant in the later part because they have more cultural capital.
