Equinox Software, Inc., the open source experts, is proud to announce the formation of a wholly-owned Canadian-based subsidiary, Equinox Library
Services Canada (ELSC). ELSC was formed in response to Canadian libraries requesting that ILS systems be physically located in Canada; all ESLC hosting
services will be provided from a Toronto datacenter. ELSC will also provide implementation, support, training, and other services for Evergreen and Koha.
Equinox Software is proud to announce two scholarships for the Code4Lib Conference in Seattle, WA February 6-9 2012. Equinox Software will reimburse travel and accommodation expenses up to $750.00 for two full-time library staff members from libraries currently running Evergreen or Koha ILS. The awardees will also receive free registration to Code4Lib.
