The request was partially successful.

From: Hayley Robinson

Dear Wellington City Council,

As per the Official Information Act, I would like to request a breakdown of the spending category "software licenses" for Wellington City Libraries; for the 2012/2013 year.

In particular I would like to know what the software equivalent to Koha (open source version) cost. I would also like to know if any costings have been undertaken (reports/estimates) regarding switching from current software to Koha.

Yours faithfully,

Hayley Robinson

Hello Hayley,

Thank you for the below information request.

The Council response is almost complete, but following the earthquake on 21 July 2013, the Council's library staff were delayed with repairs needed in the Central Library. As such, I anticipate requiring a few more days to complete the response.

I will contact you as soon as the response is available.

Kind regards

Chris
