On the 3560, you can make 2 ports routed ports and connect each port to an ISP with /30 subnet.  You need IP services image if you are planning to run BGP, OSPF.etc...  If you have IP based image, you can run static routes or RIP.  You can also put each port into a vlan and create an SVI for each and use the ports as access ports.

Just to add to Reza's post.

The 3560 with IP Services image also supports PBR so you can send some traffic one way and some the other.

The key thing that is missing from the 3560 in this setup is NAT. If you need to NAT your internal addressing to the public ISP addressing then the 3560 won't do this. The only catalyst switch that will NAT is the 6500. So if you need to NAT then you would be better to choose a router.
