Karen Brothers and Elizabeth Eddison co-founded Inmagic, Inc. in 1984, to carry forward the library automation software business initially developed by Warner-Eddison Associates, the consulting company Eddison and Alice Warner formed after receiving Library Science degrees from Simmons College. Brothers, who has a Mathematics degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was the chief architect of the Inmagic software product, which was originally developed to work on a variety of minicomputers before being ported to DOS and Windows. Brothers served as the new company’s CEO for the first 6 years and was a director for 24 years, including 7 years as Chairman of the Board. Brothers is currently responsible for the development of Genie, a web-based library automation product.

Inmagic Genie is a Web-based Integrated Library System (ILS) designed to meet the changing needs of information centers that must manage and provide effective access to both traditional and nontraditional library materials. It is well-suited to both single-site libraries, and multi-site libraries that want a single catalog covering multiple collections.

On September 16, 2008 Karen Brothers gave a presentation and demonstration of Genie ILS to Rong Tang’s Library Automation class at Simmons College in Boston, Massachusetts.
