I have been looking at getting an ILS for my small/medium size medical library. You may have read that I have been very interested in a product called CyberTools for Libraries. They seem to have many fans in the small library world. However, I stumbled upon another company called EOS.
I have to admit I had never really heard of EOS until their rep. gave me a call and invited me to one of their "webinars." (Basically, a webinar is a seminar online.) I was very impressed with EOS and their system. It seemed to be very intuitive. It is also more web driven where as CyberTools for Libraries seems to appear more windows looking. EOS also tends to sell their modules (serials, cataloging, circulation, etc.) ala cart where as CyberTools for Libraries has bundled a lot of their modules all together into one product. Both products offer ASP hosting and both seem to be targeting medical libraries.
I am currently in the process of evaluating both products for our library. When I am finished or when I have more information, I will write up a little compare/contrast blog entry. In the meantime, I wanted to bring EOS to the attention of those who are looking for and ILS for medical libraries, and I want to encourage you to arrange for a demo or sit in on a webinar.
