Koha Training (10 days)
Development of Koha started in 1999 in New Zealand. Members of the Horowhenua Library Trust (http:/www.library.org .nz) in New Zealand decided that after contracting development of the integrated library system to Katipo Communications they wanted the code released into the wide for use by any and all libraries worldwide. In January 2000, the first version of koha was released. Ten years later the system is being used by at least 945 libraries worldwide
