GOBI is a tool that supports selection, collaboration and acquisition for individual libraries and members of consortia or buying groups. In addition to print books from thousands of top academic and medical publishers, GOBI users can also order from the widest range of e-book publishers and aggregators all in one place.
Our robust linking ensures that we know all versions of a title, so we can alert you of duplicates automatically across all acquisition models and formats. In addition, our visibility into your library’s historical purchases and order details make our duplication control that much stronger.
Save time with GOBI’s duplication control, workflow support and cataloging records.
