I see I didn't explain that very well -- each of the four repositories
that I'm looking after belongs to a different NZ university or
polytechnic. The Library Consortium of New Zealand [1] is a consortium
of several university libraries in New Zealand; the institutions whose
repositories I'm looking after decided to band together and share some
work in setting up and running their repositories.

One of the four sites does have several repositories, for historic
reasons. Two organisational sub-units had already set up local
repositories (both on EPrints) when the university-wide DSpace one went
live. Currently all three are running side by side but plans are
underway to merge at least one of the EPrints repositories into the
university-wide one.

cheers,
Andrea
