Hi Dwyllis
Is there any library in the Wellington region using Koha? If yes can I pay a visit and have a play?
There are several "Koha's" running in Wellington and they are all slightly different so we'll try and match you to a goodie. The MetService are running a fairly standard edition of Koha - managing books and journals I believe. They don't have a public OPAC, so you'd need to go in to see them. Local Government New Zealand are running Koha 2.0, and they are using it to catalogue both off line materials - books and journals, and online/digital ones like PDF's and websites. I don't believe they use the lending facilities although I could check that. If you search the OPAC from outside LGNZ you only see the online items - www.lgnz.co.nz/library However if you search from within LGNZ you see the books too - we're doing that based on the IP number of the browser. We have a copy running here at Katipo - and we do issue and return books, and we've got different branches etc set up, and you'd be more than welcome to give it a good play here. Look forward to hearing from you Cheers Rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications MANAGING DIRECTOR Ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org
