Collection Development
GOBI Library Solutions Collection Development Managers work with you to help understand your collection development goals and provide the best solution.
Make the best collection development decisions
Best-in-class proprietary bibliographic metadata is developed by GOBI Library Solutions profilers—subject-matter experts who sit with book-in-hand (or book-on-screen) to generate enhanced title-level data. This data provides deeper connections, helpful context and evaluative guidance to support collection development.
Title-level metadata, along with the library’s approval plan, profiling decision support questions, and GOBI’s duplication control and title linking all come together to drive approval plan decisions.
Collect titles based on your library’s goals and preferences
Approval plans help you acquire books that match your library’s profile, goals and preferences. Our industry-leading profiling process and rich metadata are the foundation of our approval plans and help you make more informed collection development decisions.
Choose to receive books through a variety of print and digital outputs, including automatic shipments, selection lists of matching titles, demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) and more.
