The nature of your collection may also influence your CMS choice, as some deal with certain collection types better than others. Having said that, every time I have a chance to review other products, I'm impressed by how comprehensive they are becoming. Our various collections have been using MIMSY (by Willoughby, now Selago Design) for over fifteen years and are very happy with the product and the level of support.

We have narrowed down our favorites to: TMS, Vernon, KE Emu, and Willoughby. There are pros and cons to all systems, but all look pretty good. Vernon is based in New Zealand, and I am wondering if there are any North American institutions that use Vernon and would be willing to share their experiences regarding the tool and associated support from the company. Thanks.
