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
