    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.

    Brooke MatsonExecutive Director, Spark Central
    Equinox Open Library Initiative hosts Evergreen for the SCLENDS library consortium. Their technical support has been both prompt, responsive, and professional in reacting to our support requests during COVID-19.

    They have been a valuable consortium partner in meeting the needs of the member libraries and their patrons.
