We use EOSi's KnowledgeBuilder upgrade for our EOS.Web integrated library system so that we can do both AACR2 and RAD descriptions and our users only have to learn one system. However, if you are not a combined library and archives then you probably do not have to worry about integrating two database systems into a single system.

I hope this was helpful, good luck!

Hello,
I have just joined this listserve, and am also very new to archives.  It
is past-time for our archives database (which is the old version of
GenCat) to be updated, and I would like to know what system other people
use and/or recommend.
Thanks,
Marny
