Hi
Our library has been using GOBI for almost three years. They have a
very quick turnaround time, very good customer services, always strive
for technical development. We implement EDI PO and Invoice with GOBI.
We order printed books, eBooks and standing orders from the vendor. We
set up subject profile that the collection staff automatically receive
title slip as email. As we are in Canada, GOBI cannot supply AV
materials for us. The collection staff and technical services staff as
well as the Managers like it very much.
I cannot say anything about OASIS as our library has not use it before.
If you need any information for implementing GOBI with Voyager, please
send me an email and I will be happy to help.
Regards,
Rosina
