Why Choose Equinox?

  • Equinox is different from most ILS providers. As a non-profit organization, our guiding principle is to provide a transparent, open software development process, and we release all code developed to publicly available repositories.
  • Equinox is experienced with serving libraries of all types in the United States and internationally. We’ve supported and migrated libraries of all sizes, from single library sites to full statewide implementations.
  • Equinox is technically proficient, with skilled project managers, software developers, and data services staff ready to assist you. We’ve helped libraries automating for the first time and those migrating from legacy ILS systems.
  • Equinox knows libraries. More than fifty percent of our team are professional librarians with direct experience working in academic, government, public and special libraries. We understand the context and ecosystem of library software.

Being a smaller sized library, we weren’t sure if it would be possible for us to support a move to open source, but Equinox has made every step of the migration, training, and implementation of Evergreen run so smoothly.
Aaron DeVriesManager, Digital and Support Services, St Thomas Public Library
Working with Equinox has been like night and day. It's amazing to have a system so accessible to our patrons and easy to use. It has super-charged our library lending power!
Brooke MatsonExecutive Director, Spark Central
As a small special library, we appreciate that Equinox’s support framework is scalable and adaptable. The Equinox team has been fabulous to work with – each member is knowledgeable, responsive to our unique needs, and responds in a timely manner.

We are excited about the quality of access and services we are able to deliver with Koha alongside support by Equinox.

Linda KernProfessor & Dean of Library Services at Brenau University and Coordinator at Lakewood Baptist Church
OCALI’s library is unique. We specialize in assistive technology devices and kits, braille and large print resources, FM systems, and content and instructional materials to support learners with autism and other complex disabilities. It is essential that our library is accessible to those who use screen readers and other technology that allows access.

We appreciated the partnership with the team at Equinox as they took time to learn our unique items and problem solve with us through our specific complexities. The solution focused attitude of the team has been wonderful.

Sheila M. SmithSenior Director of Research, Quality Assurance and Impact, Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence (OCALI)
The Equinox team were deftly helpful in educating our team regarding Koha’s tremendous abilities. It became clear that Equinox and their mastery of Koha was a hand-in-glove ILS solution that would serve our organization’s goals.
Eugene UmanDirector, Vermont Jazz Center
The success of this complex and large migration would have been impossible without the dedicated support of specialists from Equinox Open Library Initiative. The Equinox team was responsive to our needs in a way that cannot be over-celebrated.
