GOBI Library Solutions from EBSCO logo

GOBI Library solutions allows us to purchase both print and ebook titles from one online platform. 

Current Contracts on File with GOBI for e-resources

We are able to purchase e-books from the following vendors in GOBI: 

  • ProQuest
  • EBSCOhost
Want to request a new vendor? 

No problem! Just let the e-resources librarian know, and they can work to establish a new contractual agreement through GOBI. 

When should you request establishing a new contract on file? 
  • If you find yourself wishing we could purchase through another vendor we don't currently have contracts on file with in GOBI
  • If you notice much better pricing at a competing vendor we don't currently have on file in GOBI
Other things to consider (for e-res librarian): 
  • Is there a fee for hosting perpetual ebooks with new vendors
  • Are licensing terms acceptable? 
  • Is there a cost to establish service?
