LAC recently sent a file of updated ISBNs to GOBI for our book holdings. We do this 4 times a year. This means that when you are searching GOBI you will see a status “..owned by the Library” on a particular book if we already hold it (or in an alternate edition) regardless of where we purchased it from. The aim is to save time checking both the Library Catalogue as well as GOBI before recommending something for purchase.
Thanks Tim – I was not aware Gobi did this so have been double searching all this time:(
I’ve just been testing it and noticed for some it says “shipped to library (date) rather than “owned by the Library”
