Libraries Turn to GOBI for Smarter Resource Selection
We are here to help you make data-driven decisions, optimize workflows, and ensure your library's collections directly align with user needs.
A few reasons why libraries around the world choose GOBI for usage-driven acquisition:
- Streamlined Workflow and Reduced Costs: GOBI automates a big chunk of the acquisition process, saving librarians valuable time. Additionally, it helps avoid duplicate purchases across vendors and formats.
- Data-Driven Selection: Both DDA and EBA programs rely on data to guide content selection. In DDA, GOBI uses user interactions to determine which e-books to acquire. With EBA, libraries can leverage historical usage data to inform their selection of e-books for permanent purchase.
- Flexibility and Control: GOBI provides libraries with a high degree of flexibility. They can choose from various acquisition models, including EBA with broad or granular access options, and DDA based on user demand or other data points. Ultimately, librarians retain control over the final selection decisions.
- Wide Range of Content: GOBI partners with a vast number of publishers, giving libraries access to a broad collection of e-books. GOBI also offers options for eCollections delivered on publisher platforms.
- Reduced Complexity: GOBI simplifies the process of acquiring e-books from multiple platforms. It provides libraries with a centralized view of e-books across different platforms and access models. This can save librarians significant time and effort.
