[LIBRARYDIR] Using GOBI?

[Fuhrman, Tim]

Curious as to how many folks are using GOBI.

In the "bad ol' days" we stopped using vendors for book purchases in favor of Amazon.  Things are better now but we got use to paying pennies on the dollar for materials that we get at or near new quality so I don't see us utilizing that aspect of GOBI.
About the only reason I can see us using it for purchasing/selecting ebooks.

If your library uses it do you find it worthwhile?

Do you use it as a standalone or do you have it integrated with Alma? We don't currently use Alma to manage budget lines or purchasing.  Would that have to change to make the integration worthwhile?

Thanks for the input and advice!

Happy summer,
Tim
