The lib-web-cats international directory of libraries aims to include all of the libraries that use Koha, as well as other library automation systems. It currently lists 1,285 Koha libraries:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><a href="http://www.librarytechnology.org/libraries.pl?ILS=Koha">http://www.librarytechnology.org/libraries.pl?ILS=Koha</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha">http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Inclusion on the Koha wiki provides a few more details on Koha version numbers and such (which are quickly outdated) and is a good resource for the Koha community. lib-web-cats has a broad audience and provides exposure regarding the impact of Koha worldwide.
