Assessment of GOBI OCLC Plus service usefulness for various types of materials
Decision summary
Campuses should decide which of their GOBI subaccounts represent a wise use of funds when applying the OCLC Plus cataloging services. Info found in our research indicates that GOBI is doing significant OCLC cataloging on 20-25% of titles received. Comparisons with CZ records show ?????about half have no Subject Headings but are otherwise fairly reasonable.
Analyzed data coming in for UCI’s API program, physical and electronic, to assess which titles had full records available up order, which needed GOBI labor, and how available CZ records for e-res compared.
